The legend of Qixian Lake

According to legend, the Big Dipper is the incarnation of the seven beautiful weaving girls of the Jade Emperor. All of them are skillful and can weave rainbow like sky clothes - "cloud brocade" for the Jade Emperor, the queen mother and the gods. Also in charge of heaven and earth's colorful colors. They live in the Maolan palace in the heavenly palace, commonly known as "Maolan seven sisters". They were locked up in the weaving room all day and were very depressed. But the Jade Emperor and the queen mother are very happy for their beauty, docility and dexterity.

One morning, seven fairies came to the patio to dress up and look at each other in the mirror. I do not know who is not careful, the mirror was knocked off the terrace, fell down the cliff. Big sister ran down the terrace and looked down the cliff, but she couldn't find the trace of the mirror. But she was surprised to find that there was a bigger mirror under the cliff, emitting colorful light. She called her sisters and looked at them. The beautiful figures of the seven sisters could be seen clearly in the big mirror. So they dressed up in the big mirror. In fact, it is just a big lake in the world. At this moment, the youngest sister secretly took away the perfume bottle of her elder sister while she was busy dressing up and watching the bustle. The perfume bottle is exquisite and charming. Even more amazing, the perfume in that bottle is not only very fragrant, but also can cure all diseases. Even if only one drop, the whole heaven will be fragrant for ninety-nine days. No wonder the fairy has been watching this perfume bottle. Several times I wanted to take the opportunity to point a few drops, but my elder sister seldom took them out several times a year. This little and dainty, the fairy, dizzy with success, is enjoying the little perfume bottle.

"Enough, little sister, give it back to me quickly!" The eldest sister came after incense. The little sister didn't know that the elder sister had found her so soon. She was very surprised. She knew her elder sister's temper and was afraid that she would scold her like she did to her third sister last time. She flurried the perfume bottle to her eldest sister and ran away like that. The eldest sister hurriedly reached for it, but unfortunately, the perfume bottle slipped down her big sister's hands and fell into the big lake where they were dressing glasses.

Strange to say! When the perfume bottle fell into the lake, the clear lake surface suddenly appeared dark green ripples, and the smell of the lake was overflowing. Around the lake, the withered and yellow vegetation suddenly becomes lush and green; all the flowers bloom at the same time in four seasons, and the fragrance is striking, attracting countless flowers, butterflies and bees; all the birds are flying, singing and singing; water birds are racing, and fish are jumping When the world is in late autumn and everything is withering, the only lake is full of spring, which puzzles ordinary people!

Be unbearable to contemplate that perfume bottle, the elder sister is angry and anxious. The fairy is afraid. She is afraid of telling the Jade Emperor, and let the queen mother know the consequence. They all know that the bottle of perfume is a special item of the Queen's mother, and no one is allowed to use it. Besides, it costs nine hundred and ninety-nine years to make a bottle of perfume in the heavenly palace. It takes nine hundred and ninety-nine years. How hard and precious it is! The fairy had no choice but to ask her sisters to let her go down to earth to look for her. The elder sisters are also worried that they will not be able to return to the palace to pay their duties, and they are even more worried that the younger sister will be alone and inconvenient. So the seven sisters went down together and came to this great lake in the world.

They searched and searched for 77 days or forty-nine days without finding the shadow of the perfume bottle. But unexpectedly found a "fairyland on earth.". They are fascinated by the boundless scenery of the world. "It's not like what the Jade Emperor Lao Tzu called" the world hell. " The fairy said, "it's no different from the palace we live in." "The Jade Emperor and Lao Tzu have cheated our children all the time!..." The seven fairies began to talk. They decided to keep looking for perfume bottles while enjoying the spring scenery. All the way, they are full of laughter and joy. Everywhere they go, they feel novel and exciting, happy and do not want to go home.

The Jade Emperor was surprised to learn that the seven immortals were missing. He was so angry that he sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to look for them everywhere, but he got nothing. Then he sent the marshal of Tiangong to lead the general and come to the world. Seven days and nights passed, but there was no sign of the seven fairies. Later, I found out from a fisherman by the lake that not long ago, someone had seen seven beautiful young girls passing by the lake and heading east

Marshal Tiangong had no choice but to go back to court. He reported what he saw and heard in the world to the jade emperor one by one. After listening to marshal Tiangong's detailed description of where the seven fairies went, the Jade Emperor took out a mirror from his waist and looked at it again. His locked eyebrows suddenly spread out. He said to marshal Tiangong, "so it is! Since they don't want to come back, let them have it! Then he said, "no one can disturb them any more without my command."

Originally, I had expected that the Jade Emperor would send heavenly soldiers and generals down to capture them. The seven fairies had already turned into seven ordinary water (Lake) ducks, mixing in a group of Lake ducks in the lake. In the reeds, grass, wandering, playing and chasing. The only distinguishing feature is that there is a bunch of inconspicuous feathers on the top of their crowns, showing seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue and purple. Only the seven fairies knew each other about this secret, not even the Jade Emperor Lao Tzu, not to mention the marshal of Tiangong?

Since then, when the sun goes down and the dawn begins to appear, the seven ducks will return to the fairies, wearing their colorful clothes, wandering and chasing in the grass and jungle by the lake. Along the way, singing brings a hundred birds to spread their wings and sing, and fish to jump; along the way, laughing brings groups of butterflies to dance, bees to accompany

Since the seven fairies appeared at the lakeside, the residents of the lake have never suffered from floods and droughts. On the contrary, the weather here is good every year, people and livestock are prosperous, and grain is abundant. The residents of the lakeside also have a surprising discovery: they never grow rashes and sores when bathing with the lake water; after drinking the lake water, the children become smart and lively; the girls drink it, pure and beautiful, more charming; the young men drink it, more handsome; the young men and women drink it, strong and energetic; the old people drink it, all kinds of diseases are eliminated, and life is prolonged; When a villain drinks it, he will suffer from all kinds of diseases; when a villain drinks it, he will drink poison

Later, it was often seen that fairies came down to earth, which was a good story.

No wonder people call this lake "immortal water" because of its sweet taste and special effect. The news spread like wildfire. For a time, after hearing the news, many foreigners came not far away, rowing and rowing to get water from the lake. He drank it himself and brought it back to his hometown for relatives and friends as a panacea.

Since then, people have changed the name of QIANZI lake to Xianzi lake or Qixian lake, which is still in use today. The story of the beautiful and moving seven fairies coming down to earth to benefit the common people has been handed down from generation to generation through a long history.
