The Legend of "Sai Khan" and "Tara"

Saihan means beautiful in Mongolian and Tara means steppe. Legend has it that Sai Khan was a beautiful girl and Tara was a big-hearted young man. At a tribal bonfire party, Sai Khan and Tara met and the two fell in love. Just as the young man Tara and the girl Sai Khan were preparing to become intimate, the Mongol army marched west, and the young man Tara had to take his own horse and bring his own blade to bid farewell to Sai Khan.

The round moon rose in the sky, and Sai Khan and Tara knelt under the moon and swore that one would not marry her, one would not marry him; one would wait until she was desolate, and one would wait until his sea was rotten. Tara drew a portrait of himself for Sai Khan, who painted a picture of himself for Tara. The girl Sai Khan and the young man Tara snuggled up to each other, and the two of them did not sleep all night, and they had endless inner words.

The next day, Tara left with the army.

However, Tara was gone for seven years. There was not a single word for seven years. Sai Khan's brother couldn't take it anymore, and he said to his sister, "You're too stupid, war is going to kill people, and Tara is probably killed." Youth is fleeting, the blink of an eye is a white head, you are so bitter, when is a head!

The brother advised his sister to find a good family to marry, but Sai Khan did not listen, and she looked at Tara's portrait every day in a daze.

Suddenly, it was three years, and the brother said bitterly: "Sister, you have been waiting for Tara for ten years, how many decades has there been in this life?" You don't want to be stupid again. ”

Sai Khan was hopeless, so he had to be ruled by his brother and married a herdsman.

Another three years passed, and Sai Khan bore her husband a son and a daughter. However, she still secretly looks at Tara's portrait behind her husband's back. However, in the winter of that year, her husband died of illness, and Sai Khan pulled his young children to survive.

On this day, Sai Khan carried his daughter on his back and led his son to herd sheep in his hands. A horse ran up to her and immediately jumped down on a man, and Sai Khan fixed his eyes on it, this was not her sweetheart Tara who was thinking about twilight!

It turned out that in the Western Expedition of the Mongol Army, Tara had made military merits, and he was favored by a tribal leader, who had to marry his daughter to him. Tara did not agree, and the chief put Tara under house arrest in the tribe. Thirteen years have passed, and Tara has not changed his mind about Sai Khan. Touched by Tara's true feelings, the chief gives Tara a horse and sends him back to his hometown to find his beloved. Tara took the portrait of Sai Khan from his arms, and he told Sai Khan that for thirteen years he had kept the portrait of Sai Khan in his arms and attached it to his heart.

Sai Khan cried bitterly, and she returned the portrait of Tara with her own body temperature to Tara, asking Tara to forget herself and find another good girl. Sai Khan turned to leave, Tara said that he had been on the run for more than a month and had not eaten a delicious meal, and he asked Sai Khan if he could make himself a meal. SaiHan brought Tara into her yurt, where she brought out fragrant hand-picked meat and a pot of homemade mare's milk wine. After drinking and eating, Tara asked if she could stay? Sai Khan just shook his head in pain.

Tara knew that Sai Khan had rejected him because of a pair of children with her ex-husband, so he said, "My name is Tara, Tara is the grassland, if the grassland does not have a broad mind, is it still the grassland?" Since I love you, of course I love your children. These thirteen years, I am sorry for you, not your fault. ”

Tara put the portraits of the two men together and said, "May these two portraits never be separated."

Sai Khan could not refuse Tara's true feelings, and a pair of lovers finally became dependents. Although Tara and Sai Khan had their children, Tara regarded a pair of children of Sai Khan's ex-husband as her own. A few years later, SaiHan and Tara passed away one after another, and the son of Sai Khan's ex-husband called this grassland SaiHan Tara, not only to commemorate the touching love between his mother Sai Khan and his stepfather Tara, but also to commemorate the nurturing grace of his stepfather Tara to him and his sister.
