The origin of city names
According to legend, a long time ago, Yinchuan was called Phoenix. Speaking of Phoenix, there are still elderly people pointing fingers-the Gao Tai Temple outside the East Gate is the head of Phoenix, and its head is next to the Yellow River; There are two wells next to the Gao Tai Temple, which are the eyes of the phoenix; The drum tower in the city center is the heart of the phoenix; The west tower and the north tower are the two claws of the phoenix; In Ximaying, flowers and trees are shaded. That's the tail of a phoenix. The tail of the phoenix over there has grown to Helan Mountain.
Why is it called Phoenix? It's a long story. Do you know the Phoenix Bird? Phoenix bird is a happy bird. Where there is a phoenix, there is happiness. Seven Sisters, Phoenix, lives on a high mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. Phoenix often benefits the people, so Jiangnan is beautiful. Mountains are green, water is green, flowers are everywhere, trees are in rows, people are handsome and strong, and crops are harvested every year. Everyone lives a rich life, and there is nothing to worry about. They are all very happy and happy. ......
At that time, Ningxia had mountains and water, and the land was thin and the people were poor. There is the Yellow River in the east, but the river is too shallow to reach the shore; There are Helan Mountain in the west and Liupanshan Mountain in the south, but the mountain height can't stop the cold current in Siberia, and the yellow sand in Tengger is rolling. The Hui, Mongolian and Han people living here are not discouraged. They have always worked hard on the land. However, although people are almost exhausted and exhausted their hard work, they still cannot change the status quo of poverty. People sang sadly:
Such a big river, such a high mountain, Ningxia Chuan, endless grass beach.
Such a big river, such a high mountain, Ningxia Chuan, the people have not eaten and worn every year!
After the story of Happy Bird spread to Sichuan and Ningxia, Hui, Han and Mongolian people looked forward to it every day and every month, with red eyes, hoping that the Phoenix would fly to Ningxia. After learning about this, Dayan was moved by everyone's sincerity in expecting Phoenix, so she volunteered to fly to the south of the Yangtze River, not afraid of hardships, met Phoenix, and told Phoenix all the wishes of Ningxia people in detail. Phoenix learned of this situation and sat in the pine forest in the high mountain to discuss it. Seven Sisters, the youngest, said that she would go to Ningxia to see something. The sisters know that she will definitely agree and hope that she will go early and come back early. Seven Sisters said to leave, and all the birds in the forest came to see me off. The flute players, the piano players, the singers, the dancers and the dancers were all so busy that they could hardly speak. People in the south of the Yangtze River also rushed to see them off. There are many gifts, some for Qi Mei and some for brothers and people in Ningxia.
Sixth Sister and Lark sent Seventh Sister across the Yangtze River, and Seventh Sister said goodbye to all her relatives and friends happily. The geese led the way and flew to Ningxia. Seven Sisters is flying in the blue sky with a red cloud. I will fly to Liupanshan area in a short time. Seven Sisters went round and round at the top of Liupan Mountain. When the Hui people here saw it, they quickly said something like "two eyes", and they all thought that the red clouds in the blue sky were auspicious arrival. Phoenix also happily settled on the Yellow River between Liupanshan and Heshan.
The banks of the Yellow River are already full of tents, shacks and yurts. Hui people who say "shout loudly", Han people who shout "God" in surprise, and Mongolians who say "Buddha" endlessly all put on all kinds of national costumes, beating gongs and drums and waiting for the phoenix on both sides of the Yellow River early. Hundreds of birds from Liupan Mountain and Helan Mountain, cattle, sheep, camels and horses from Pingchuan and grassland have also come. Everyone sang and sang at the top of their lungs, and the more they sang, the more energetic they became, and even the water of the Yellow River danced and sang.
After the Phoenix came to Ningxia, it flew around without waiting-"Ah! Why is such a big flat river cracked? " She turned to look at the Yellow River, drawing a line here and a line there, a lot. After that, it becomes a river, with water in it and the Yellow River at its mouth.
The next day, at first light, she flew around again, sweating profusely. She scattered all the gifts on Liupan Mountain, Helan Mountain and Yinchuan Plain. Suddenly, the Yinchuan Plain was full of flowers, trees and food crops. Cattle, horses, camels and sheep rush in droves on the grassland; Liupanshan faded away from the clouds and put on green clothes; As soon as Helan Mountain was happy, it shed its white hair and became a green hill.
The mountains and rivers in Ningxia have changed, and everyone is grateful to Phoenix, saying that she has brought happiness to everyone and brought the light of Phoenix to Jiangnan. Later, people simply called Ningxia "Jiangnan".
With canal water, there is enough food and drink on the land, and crops grow exceptionally strong. Since then, the mountains and rivers in Ningxia have been harvested year after year, and all the people jumped up and sang happily:
Ningxia, Sichuan, with two pointed ends, faces the Yellow River in the east, Helan Mountain in the west and Liupanshan Mountain in the south. ......
The mountains and rivers in Ningxia have become the same as those in Jiangnan. Phoenix thought, "The Han Hui people and the Mongols here are hardworking and kind. It's as beautiful as Jiangnan, so I'll stay here and not go back. "
She takes Ningxia as her hometown and works hard with everyone year after year, carefully feeding cows, horses, camels and sheep.
At that time, there was an alien tribe in the far west of Ningxia. One year, the leader of an alien tribe led his troops and rushed into the mountains and rivers of Ningxia. They burn crops and kill everyone they see. Phoenix was so angry that it became a city, and people in Ningxia were all in it. When all the doors are closed, the enemy can't open them. After three months of continuous fighting, the enemy ran out of food and retreated and fled. In the future, as long as the enemy comes, everyone will enter the city. When the enemy left, people went out to farm, graze and graze.
When Phoenix became a city, she sent a message to Jiangnan from yan zhen, saying hello to her sisters and telling them that she would never return to Jiangnan again. In this way, sending news to Jiangnan has become a year-round task for geese. Every year, in the season when the sky is clear and the rice is fragrant, the geese fly south, and the next spring, they come to Phoenix with the homesickness of the south and the homesickness of the sixth sister.
I don't know how many years passed, then there was a leader, then there was an emperor, a warlord, an official and a landlord ... It changed the landscape of Ningxia, and a few people exploited and squeezed most people. Since then, the mountains and rivers have been desolate, the water plants have dried up, and cattle, sheep and camels have starved to death. The top of Liupan Mountain is smoky and depressed. The top of Helan Mountain is covered with dark clouds, and sorrow never stretches. One year, the emperor sent a pockmarked official. This pockmarked official is very bad. As soon as he came to Ningxia Chuan, he built a palace in the southeast of Phoenix. Today, Raf will rob money tomorrow, which will make people who return to Han breathless. Pockmarked officials are black-hearted and greedy for money. He found a golden pony in Black Spring Lake and tried to steal it secretly.
One night, he was sitting in the yamen, thinking from left to right: I stole the golden pony, and others can hide it. How can I hide the phoenix? I also think that since the introduction of Phoenix in Ningxia, everyone is very smart and there are more and more capable people. I've done so many bad things that I'll be unlucky one day, and I can't keep the golden pony after stealing it. Asako's lawsuit thinking: "Hum!" With tears in his eyes, he squeezed out a sentence "no poison, no husband" through his teeth, and then inserted his own sword before dawn and secretly cut it around the neck of Phoenix. Although the phoenix was cut by the pockmarked official, it still misses the people of all ethnic groups in Ningxia. She used her own blood to make a ditch, and the water in the ditch flowed through the village and fields. .......
When the east shines, many people are surprised to see a new waterway winding through their homes. People went to the canal to watch, amazed and stunned: "What happened, did the Milky Way in the sky fall to the earth?" ! "People looked at the rushing canal water and suddenly found a red line in the canal. The old man recognized it and shouted, "Ah, the canal water is still bleeding!" " "At this moment, an old imam came running like crazy, pushed his way through the crowd, stared at the canal water and shouted," Hu Da, it's really like this! " Immediately, everyone surrounded him in surprise and asked noisily, "What's the matter? What's wrong? " It took the old imam a long time to mutter to herself, "In the evening, Phoenix had a dream that her neck was cut by a bad man ... She missed everyone and made a canal with blood for everyone to irrigate the fields." ......
Hearing this, the crowd burst into tears, some sobbing, some sobbing, some holding blood, some crying ... In this way, they cried in Kuya for nine days, even the sky was cloudy, the trees were yellow and the mountains were white ... People whispered:
How can melons leave seedlings, children leave their mothers, and Ningxia Hui people leave Phoenix! ........
In the tenth year, Phoenix had a dream for Imam, saying that her heart was not dead, and it would be resurrected in 99 years. By that time, many talented people, whether Ningxia or Jiangnan, will become a paradise on earth. Phoenix also said: "Wait, wait, wait until the red clouds float from the top of Liupan Mountain, it is time for the phoenix to fly." As a result, people are no longer sad, and everything is back to its original state. In order to remember the Phoenix, people call Yinchuan "Phoenix City" and the canal "Honghua Canal".
