South China Sea Myth

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, in the area of Yalong Bay in present-day Sanya, there was no gentle beach by the sea, and close to the sea were high mountains and cliffs. On the high mountains near the sea, there are dozens of Li families. The girls here have fair skin, bright eyes, a flower-like appearance, a graceful figure, and a beautiful fairy. Among them, there was a girl named Jili, whose skin was dazzling, and her eyes were like stars, and there were no less than dozens of young men who showed her love, but she only loved the poor fisherman Ah Xiang.

The other six women also have their own lovers, Ah Bing, Ah Fan, Ah Quan, Ah Quan, Ah Quan, and Ah Gen. Seven men, young men of the Li ethnic group, went to Wuzhi Mountain to hunt, while seven women farmed at home. Seven women went to the hot springs one day, and seven Han people who did business came to the mainland, passing by the hot springs, thinking that they had met the seven fairies. And he took their clothes without permission. Seven Li youths have been privately engaged to these seven women, and these seven women remain loyal to love, and they resolutely refuse to agree to the courtship of the seven Han people.

One of the seven Han people is named Ah Chun, a talented person with a particularly good mouth. He said, "If you get married, we have nothing to say." You're just verbally engaged, who would believe it? If you don't agree, we will resolutely not return your clothes. "

At dusk, the seven Han merchants still did not leave. One of the seven women named Ji Li is very smart, and she is afraid that the seven Li men will come and cause misunderstandings and affect national unity. So he said to the Han men, "We can agree to your quest." However, you must go to the interior and ask your parents to come and meet us, but there is one condition that must be met, and all seven parents must come, and not one less. "

When the Han youth heard this, he felt that there was some reason, so he got up and returned the clothes to the seven Li women. They went home to their parents. Then the seven young men went back to the interior and talked about their intention to marry a woman from the ends of the earth. Whatever they say, their parents don't agree. None of the parents of the seven wanted their son to come to the ends of the earth. This time the contradiction was resolved by Geely, but a new contradiction emerged.

One day, more than a dozen fairies came down to the earth to bathe in the sea, and suddenly saw Jili and her female companion coming. They were amazed at how beautiful a woman could be. In the lamentation of self-infliction, they swam to the depths of the ocean one by one, not daring to compete with the auspicious women who were close at hand. Of course, from then on, the fairies never came here to bathe again.

The fairies return to the Heavenly Palace. Tell their brother about the beautiful women they saw in the world. Unexpectedly, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Seven handsome and dashing fairies, listening to the fairies say that there are women in the mortal world who are like fairies, they actually moved the hearts of mortals. They stepped on the clouds side by side, came to the sea, and waited for a day and a night. Finally, I saw Geely and her female companion walking towards the beach with a basket on their backs. The extraordinary beauty and special charm made the blood of the seven fairies rush and their eyes straightened. They ignored the elegance and etiquette, and one of the servants blew a breath, and the soles of the seven girls ran with them towards the deep mountains and old forests as if they were stepping on the wind. Among them, Geely runs ahead.

At this moment, Ah Xiang and his companions came back from fishing, and happened to see Geely leading six women to run in the mountains with seven men, ashamed, angry and anxious. They jumped out of the boat and chased after them, but they broke their legs, and they couldn't catch up. They shouted like thunder, but they didn't hear back. They sighed: "Shame, shame, a woman's heart is like a cloud in the sky, it changes when it is said." In the morning, when they went out to sea, they were still affectionate, why did they come back in the evening and elope with other men. "

Gilly and her six female companions were blown by the wind and accompanied the seven fairies to the mountains. The seven fairies did not leave, regained their sanity and politeness, and began to courting the seven girls politely. The seven girls said angrily, "You don't ask about it, cast a spell and let us run after you." You don't know that a good woman doesn't marry a second husband, we all have fiancés, and we can't accept your courtship. "

Only then did the seven fairies remember that the marriage was in charge of the old man under the moon, and they couldn't force it. They all glanced at the girls with regret. Then he blew on them, and when he saw that the girls had returned safely to the door, the seven fairies drifted back to the heavenly palace.

When they returned home, they felt very strange to see that their fiancés were all white-headed. They told their fiancé in detail about what had happened to them and offered to marry him immediately. However, none of their fiancés were willing to marry them: because they suspected that they were no longer yellow flower girls.

The fiancés of the seven girls were indifferent to them; The parents of the seven girls cursed them; The siblings of the seven girls mocked them, and the elders and villagers avoided them. The seven girls knelt by the sea, begging the sea to testify, and they were innocent, and the sea was speechless like a dumb man; The seven girls bowed down to the heavens and begged them to testify that they were clean, and the heavens were as silent as if they had not heard.

The seven girls felt that there was no way out, and went into the sea in grief, and they wanted to die to prove their innocence. At this time, the gods were moved, the mountains roared and the tsunami came, the thunder rolled, the rain poured down, and in the whistling wind and roaring thunder, the high mountains and cliffs continued to retreat, and a crescent-shaped bay appeared on the whole seaside, and a gently extended seven-kilometer-long beach appeared near the bay mouth, and its sand was as white as snow, soft as cotton, and as thin as a face. The water in the bay is as blue as jade, and the visibility is as deep as 10 meters.

The changes outside, the relatives of the seven girls did not feel the slightest in the house, in fact, their house also withdrew with the high mountain peaks and cliffs, and the high mountains and cliffs did not retreat, and their houses did not retreat. When the seven girls ran into the sea, their fiancé was chopping wood in the back hills. A bolt of lightning swept before their eyes, thunder, exploding above their heads. Ah Xiang shouted to the sky: "Who have I offended, why does Lei want to kill us, what is going on?".

As soon as Ah Xiang finished shouting, lightning shone in the sky on a beautiful girl, who spoke: "You are to be condemned. "The bright eyes of the auspicious women, whose bright eyes melt into the water, make it clearer; Their white bodies were washed to the shore, and the mountains sighed to themselves that it was better to give way immediately. As a result of the ignition of the gods, their bodies turned into white sand.
