Folk stories about Mongols

1, the story of a chicken becoming a thousand chickens

Legends and stories in Willa dialect. Spread in Bortala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang. It tells the story that the poor want to be lamas but can't raise thousands of chickens. Once the old living Buddha went to a poor family, and the two sons of that family slaughtered the only white chicken to entertain the living Buddha. After eating the chicken, the living Buddha blew the leftover chicken bones into 1000 chicken. Just as the two sons were feeding the chickens, their father came back.

My father immediately rushed to the living Buddha's place and asked to be his apprentice Lama. The living Buddha told him to go back and kill his two sons before coming back. After his father "copied", the living Buddha told him to sit in a hole and not to look into it.

But my father couldn't resist his curiosity. When he looked into the hole, he saw his two sons and daughter-in-law looking after their chickens. Seeing that he did not have the sincerity to be a Lama, the living Buddha sent him home. When he got home, he and his son and daughter-in-law lived a quiet life with thousands of chickens.

2. The story of Ma Touqin

Ma Touqin is a unique traditional musical instrument of Mongolian nationality, which is named after the exquisite horsehead carved on the top of the piano. It is a favorite musical instrument of the Mongolian people, and almost every family has it.

Ma Touqin's voice is so beautiful that not only people like it, but even camels don't want to go away when they hear it. At dusk, the sunset glow slowly dyed the grassland red, and herders would sit in yurts and play their beloved Ma Touqin. The mellow sound of the piano seems to tell a beautiful and moving story on the grassland.

Once upon a time, there was a herder named Su He on the grassland. He lived with a clever white horse and was inseparable. One day, Baima suddenly died of illness. Su He is very sad and has been looking forward to the return of the white horse. One night, he dreamed that the white horse came back and said to him, "Aren't you thinking about me?" Then make a piano with my bones, tendons and tail! So we can be together every day. "

The next day, Su He made a piano according to his dream, and carefully carved the head of a white horse on the top of the piano pole. The sound of the piano is as kind and beautiful as the voice of a white horse. Later, people gave this piano a nice name-Ma Touqin.

3. The benefits of the goddess

Legend has it that there is a towering Nader Mountain in the nomadic land of Dubots. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the lake formed by the flood of spring water is as clear as a mirror. People say this is a place where immortals live in seclusion.

One day, a young hunter suddenly found a group of heavenly daughters playing in the lake on the top of the mountain and beside the lake. The beautiful posture and touching laughter amazed the hunter. He quietly put a pair of whips around his horse, watched invisibly, and the girls chased and played without knowing it. The hunter flew in with a leather slingshot to trap one of the heavenly daughters, and the others panicked and hid in the clouds. The hunter courted the quilt girl, and the girl agreed.

But love is short-lived. Because of the difference, the two broke up on the same day. Later, Tiannv became pregnant, returned to the mountain lake where she met the hunter, and gave birth to a boy. But she can't live on the earth forever, put the child in her own cradle and hang it on a tree, send a yellow bird to watch it day and night, sing for it, and then sadly return to heaven.

At this time, Dulbert's ancestors did not have their own chiefs, and they were eager to find an ideal leader. Under the guidance of a "prophet", they climbed Nader Mountain, and found the children on the branches of the mountain and lake in the direction of bird singing. The person who greeted them said: This is a gift from heaven.

Dulbert's ancestors were so happy that they happily took their children back to the tribe. Later, the child quickly grew into a burly and great husband, made great achievements and became the ancestor of the Chuross family.

4. Madl created the world.

Legend has it that a long time ago, the sky will form, the earth will grow, people will be born again, horses will go to Ikoma, and everything will multiply. The whole world has experienced a catastrophe, and the flood is terrible. I don't know how many years passed before the goddess Madl crossed the white horse and inspected the world of three thousand colors, only to see the peak of Sumeru Baoshan in the blue water.

Madl found a cave at the top of Su Mi. Some people live in the cave. These people are less than a foot tall and horses are only as big as rabbits. Children born in the morning ride horses to make fire at night and gallop back and forth in the caves of Xumi Mountain. The queen of Madl rode back and forth on the blue water, and the horseshoe moved the water, giving off dazzling sparks. The burning dust turned into ashes and scattered on the water.

The volcanic ash accumulated thicker and thicker, and gradually formed an endless land. The land sinks under the pressure of the water surface, and the sky and the ground slowly separate. This land forms a big flat. Because it floats on the water and swings unsteadily, it sends a chinemys reevesii into the water and puts its back against the ground, unable to move or leave. Sometimes the tortoise is so tired that it will shake when it stretches.

The horseshoe in Madl caught fire, and the blue water kept evaporating. These vapors are flying in the air, forming clouds. Mars, splashed by water from horseshoes, flew high into the sky and became a star. Empress Medell pitied the dwarves on Mount Sumi, so she sent a goddess and a goddess to illuminate them every day. The man of god is on duty during the day, burning red. This is the sun; The goddess is on duty at night and emits white light. This is the moon.

He (she) and he (she) follow the instructions of Queen Madl and surround Mount Sumi every day. When the man of god turned to the mountain, it became night, and they (she) could never meet each other. Madl's incarnation visited the earth three times a year, three times on the 15th of the first month, 15th of April and 13th of July. These three days are Mongolian festivals in Huila. Cattle and sheep were slaughtered and sacrificed, and Queen Madl was invited to inspect the land.

5. Ice-sky war

In an era older than Archean, the world is in chaos, like floating clouds and floating fat, creeping gently. I don't know how many millennia have passed, resulting in a clear turbidity. As a result, light and clear things rose to the sky, while heavy and turbid things condensed to the ground. There are ninety-nine gods in the east, west, south and north in the sky, with "Duolun Odentongri" (that is, "Seven Stars Heaven") as the middle and small.

Under these gods, there are tens of millions of "Burihan" (star gods), from which the sky presents a splendid scenery.

However, the boundary is still floating, the land is not solidified and there is no vegetation. So the gods strengthened the soil, flattened the land, scattered vegetation from the sky, and sent people made in the image of the gods to the ground, from which there were humans, vegetation and creatures. People live a nomadic life, without sin and disaster, and live a quiet and happy life every day.

Then there was a war in heaven. There is a Chegel in the corner of the northern sky, and the god of Cee Bugic (Cegen Chabuden, meaning empty ice or the North Pole) is not dominated by any gods. As for its ownership, the eldest son of Telekun Chagan, the highest god in the East, competed with Adai Ulan, the god in the north, and developed to resort to force. Adai Ulan first attacked and occupied the frozen sky in one fell swoop.

Gersteller Borg, the youngest son of Holmstar, led the troops into the world of ice and snow in order to avenge his father who didn't go home. In addition to capturing the ice world, he stabbed Adai Ulan, threw him into the lower world, and kicked his men into pieces and threw them into the ice world. Since then, Adai Ulan has become a "Shamohan" and his subordinates have become a group of demons like "Manggatai".

These demons have brought serious disasters to the world, such as severe ice and snow, diseases and disasters, as well as insects and beasts that devour human life. People had to pray to heaven and ask the gods to destroy the devil quickly. Knowing this situation, the supreme God convened a meeting of heaven to discuss and decide that Gerstle Boggs was born in the world and eliminated evil.
