No. 16 "Phoenix Weir"
From the wah field straight through the Nüwa Mountain, that is, the north of Baofeng Town, is the upper dam of Baofeng Daping Dam. Thousands of acres of fertile land on the dam, raw grain, long crops, rely on the irrigation of the Phoenix Weir.
A long time ago, there was no water in the fertile fields of shangba, and it was still thanks to the lady of the house that I was talking about this. In that year, when Nuwa refining stones to make up for the heavens, after the fire was burning, Fuxi alone collected multicolored stones, busy with his hands and feet, looking at the smelting in the furnace, always not brick furnace fire empty burning Wow? The phoenixes of the world knew the news, and without anyone greeting, they all used their mouths to tie the multicolored stones and threw them directly into the fire.
The phoenixes flew back and forth to help with quarrying and stone-throwing, sweating tired on the way, and sweating on the stove when they were thrown, so tired that the phoenixes sweated until the sky made up, and the sweat stopped. In order to thank the phoenixes for their strong help, Nuwa cut some purple bamboo in the purple bamboo forest of Baofeng Mountain, made sheng, gong, zhu, and flute, and blew out a beautiful tune for the phoenixes to listen to and ask the phoenixes to rest and sweat.
When the phoenixes saw that the heavens were finished, they calmly lined up to listen to the beautiful tunes. The Phoenix team, all the way to the Shangba River, when the Phoenix listened to Nüwa's first sheng gong performance, the sweat on her body fell to the ground of the queue, forming a canal weir. Since then, the weir has never dried up again. Thousands of acres of fertile land are well harvested every year. The Baofeng people missed the phoenix, so they called the weir that was clear and lingling the phoenix weir.
Part 17 "Yellow Oriole and Yellow Chestnut"
To the north of Baofeng Town, there is a large mountain township with green mountains and beautiful waters, and the general name is yellow chestnut. Speaking of exquisiteness, there are reasons for it with yellow oriole and yellow chestnut.
In that year, in order to thank the phoenix for helping to make up the heavens, the lady held a newly made sheng, zhu, flute and flute performance party, so that the phoenixes could listen to one beautiful tune after another. After the yellow orioles in the mountainous countryside north of Baofeng Town knew the good news, they flew gently and followed behind the Phoenix team to listen to the cheap.
That night, Phoenix listened to Nuwa's flute playing, and was drunk; although the Yellow Orioles came to listen to the cheap, they listened carefully. Not only did I understand the tune, but I also memorized each tune and sang it day after day, year after year.
Listening to the pleasant songs of the yellow orioles, the men and women there have grown their spirits, and the ploughing and farming have become a good hand. In order to thank the yellow oriole for its beautiful singing, the people there quickly planted a slope and a bush of chestnuts for the yellow orioles to eat, so that the yellow orioles could sing vigorously. In the autumn of that year, people could not wait to feed the yellow orioles with chestnuts, and when the burrs shells outside the chestnut first turned yellow, they were knocked down from the trees, smashed the burrs shells on the outside, and peeled off the yellow chestnut kernels to feed the yellow orioles. Who knows that the chestnuts with the first yellow shell of the hairy chestnut eat the swelling and swell the yellow orioles to death.
The people here miss the beautiful singing of the yellow oriole very much, so they name the place yellow oriole. Later, it was proposed that we should remember the lesson of the yellow chestnut swelling and death of the yellow oriole, so we changed the name of the place to the yellow chestnut, which has not changed to this day.
