Daughter's Day is a traditional festival for Bai women.
Bai women living in Diannan, Yangling and other places in Jianchuan County, Yunnan Province, collect money to buy paper and paintings on the 15th day of the first month of the summer calendar every year, and specially invite people to tie a "girl" idol, wear a beautiful and elegant white Baotou on their heads, and wear Bai women's dresses specially dyed with different shades of blue cloth to commemorate the girl.
Legend has it that Qingniang is from Hongcun, Nanhai, southern Yunnan. Because her parents died when she was a child, she had to be a child bride.
As the saying goes; "Pigeons and turtledoves are very different, and it is difficult for child brides to be human." Every morning, when the rooster crows for the first time, the young girl gets up to fetch water. The big stone vat in the patio needs to hold ten buckets of water. After picking water, I was busy planting crops in the fields and chopping wood in the mountains. I worked hard all morning with an empty stomach. When I came back for dinner, my mother-in-law put her on her back and ate all the delicious dishes early, leaving her only two small bowls of dry rice and a little water to brush the pot. The pickles at home, such as marinated rot, fermented soybean and pickled peppers, are all made by girls themselves, but the pickle jars are sealed by their mother-in-law.
"Ten miles of thunder and lightning, in-laws are like heads." A fierce mother-in-law often instigates her son to beat her young daughter. There are small clicks and big clicks on 369 every day. She was beaten nine times in three days and lived an inhuman life.
One winter morning, the girl went up the mountain to cut wood. When she picked up 150 kilograms of firewood and was ready to go home, she only felt dizzy, her eyes shone, she fainted to the ground and was unconscious. The sister next door quickly fed her brown sugar and water to drink, and then slowly woke up. When she struggled to pick up the bundle of firewood that fell on the side of the road, it was difficult for her to stand up. It turns out that when I fainted just now, I fell down and hurt my foot, and my right leg hurt badly.
The sisters who went to chop wood carried her home and saw her mother-in-law sitting on the steps with her legs crossed, smoking a hookah and a cigarette, which was very uncomfortable.
"Aunt! Your daughter-in-law fainted on the mountain and sprained her foot. We carried her back. " Sister next door fought back her anger and said.
"Self do, self do! She just wants to pretend to be sick and lazy. Beggars can't afford Ying Ge, and my family can't afford freeloaders! " The green girl's mother-in-law rolled her eyes. Looking at the tiles on the house, without looking at everyone, smoking and shouting.
With tears in her eyes, the girl thanked everyone: "Sisters, thank you for your concern!"
Before everyone left, my mother-in-law threw the hookah on the table and shouted at the top of her lungs, "You immortal bitch, how dare you pretend to be sick in front of everyone?" Today I want you to try my Chili soup! " Turn around and call the green girl's husband.
"Biting betel nut and pickling tongue, vicious husband is the most ruthless." When her husband heard the news, he knocked her to the ground with one punch, grabbed her hair and whipped her. The price from the south steps to the north station platform twisted her hair into a ball and turned her body into a broken bamboo pole. The girl cried out every day not to answer, and she was cornered. She swallowed the bitter water and said to herself, "Grandma, your own mother! If you are still alive, I will come back to you. Soup is served by hand, and sewing is busy for you; I can lend it to you and die early. Who will my daughter tell? "
The fruit on the tree is bitter and sweet; The flowers in the garden are smelly and fragrant. There are wicked people and good people in the world. The aunt of the village east quietly dug herbs for the girl to heal; The sister in the west of the village quietly sent dry steamed meat to the girl to nourish her body. With everyone's concern, she recovered slowly.
On the night of Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of this year, the sister next door came to invite Miss Qing to look at the lights. She made up her mind not to go out at night and went to Haihongqiao to watch the lights with everyone. I saw the bridge covered with red lights and green lights, and the sound of gongs and drums resounded through the river. The young partners sang in exchange, and they were extremely happy.
The sister next door said to the girl, "Sister! You have the best voice. I was chopping wood on the mountain that day, and you taught me to sing the Bai tune, and tits flew to hear you sing! Sing some songs for everyone today! "
"When the water in the tank is full, it will overflow; I have something in my heart, and I won't be bothered if I don't say it. " The girl cleared her throat and said, "Well, I'll sing you a song today."
She opened her voice to tell her grievances and sang:
…………
You want a golden tree with golden flowers.
You want the fragrance of silver trees and fruits;
Unless you drink tap water for a long time,
Waste your heart!
How to catch the underwater moon,
There are no shadows on the wall,
I'm wrapped in chains,
It's hard to lock my heart.
Nails were nailed to both ends of the roof,
A little bitterness is nailed to the heart,
If I want to be a cow and a horse all my life,
Unless the sun rises!
When the moon set, the young girl went home. As she expected, the rap sister-in-law is complaining to her mother-in-law.
As soon as she entered the door, her mother-in-law and her husband roared together: "Go sing a tune, find a man, and dare to break the rules of my family. You don't want to live! "
At this time, I saw the girl's eyes widened and glared at her mother-in-law. After a moment of silence, she turned and left.
The next day, the whole village went out to look for the young girl. When I found the river at the end of the sea, I saw the blue-collar gown she usually wore hanging on the stump by the river, and the wind blew the collar gown and kept making a "rushing" sound. The young girl committed suicide by jumping into the river.
People sympathize with the young girl's misfortune. Every year, on the fifteenth day of the first month of the summer calendar, girls throw themselves into the river to commemorate them.
