How did Songhua River get its name?
"Songhua River" transliterates the complacent language "Songga Riwula". Songga Riwula means Tianhe. The following is a beautiful legend, just as a pastime ... The origin of Songhua River says that pine trees only bear pine cones, only pine nuts, and do not bloom. So, how did the name of Songhua River come from? Listen to those old people who cut down trees in the mountains. Earlier, pine trees also bloomed. Later, people borrowed them. Speaking of which, there is another story inside. A long time ago, the ground in Heilongjiang was all mountains, all water, all beautiful trees and only a few people. At that time, Xing 'an Mountains and Changbai Mountain were connected, and countless rivers and lakes also led directly to the sea. The waves are sky-high all year round, with no edges and no edges. It is said that in this flood, there is a big lake full of lotus flowers called Lotus Lake. This lake is unusual. No matter in winter or summer, the lake is always covered with lotus leaves, pink lotus, white lotus and calla lily. Red, green and yellow are blooming one after another without breaking. Besides, under the lotus leaf, the spines are next to the spines, the gills are next to the gills, and the inner three layers and the outer three layers are all fish and clams. Look carefully, every fish's eyes are a pair of amber big Ryukyu balls, and there is a shining night pearl in each clam shell. In the night when the stars and the moon are out, there are thousands of auspicious gases and lights in the sky and underground, and the whole great lake is like a cornucopia. However, in such a land of geomantic omen, I don't know that year in Na Yue, a dragon with white wings and scales broke into it. Its nickname is "Little White Dragon". At first it hid at the bottom of the lake, as quiet as a mouse. Slowly, it will be presumptuous. Surfing the waves, jumping up and down, stirring up a lake of clear water, easy. Finally, the lotus withered, the fish disappeared, the clam closed its mouth, and the night pearl stopped shining. Seeing a treasure lake, it instantly turned into smelly stagnant water. Not to mention, sometimes when the little white dragon blows its wings, the flood immediately rolls in, and it gets dark, and hundreds of miles of Fiona Fang are involved, endlessly. Making trouble, the evil deeds of the little white dragon were discovered by the old dragon king who made a great impact in the East China Sea. He sent a big black dragon with black wings and scales to surrender the little white dragon. After a while, the big black dragon completely ignored the little white dragon. He thought to himself, I am strong, five big and three thick. When I get there, isn't it easy? In this way, it will call the wind and rain all the way, scattering Huaner to Lotus Lake. The big black dragon didn't bring anything except a chain to which the little white dragon was tied. Halfway, in order to show his authority, he deliberately waved the chain. It doesn't matter if this shakes. A flash of lightning sent a letter to the little white dragon. Tired of walking, the big black dragon stopped to have a rest in midair. It's okay to have a rest. Hail as big as an egg fell to the ground and accumulated three feet thick. The little white dragon knew that the enemy was coming and came prepared. It fills its stomach with fish and clams. After eating and drinking, hide in the dark. It is also a big black dragon with a strong heart. Lotus lake, noisy for a long time, also didn't see the little white dragon. When the black dragon was hungry, tired and weak, the little white dragon suddenly jumped up, causing the dragon horn to hit the ground with a gap. It didn't take much effort to drive the big black dragon back to Sanjiangkou. The head will suffer in the Ming dynasty, and when it comes again, the big black dragon will go down the river. But unexpectedly, where it swam, the water was black, the waves were black, and the clouds and fog were dyed black paint. Little white dragon, sharp-eyed, knew that his opponent was coming from a distance. He hurried to catch fish and clams, filled his stomach and hid behind the lake reef. When the big black dragon arrived, more thunder and less rain turned the Lotus Lake upside down. For a long time, I just didn't see the little white dragon come out of the water. At this time, the big black dragon was hungry and tired. I saw the little white dragon flying out of the water and chasing the big black dragon to the East Haikou after several rounds. The big black dragon can't enter the Lotus Lake, and the little white dragon can't come down, because he is always signaling his opponent. Only by trying to keep it from being discovered can we catch it. But, in what way? After thinking about it, it was the second summer in a blink of an eye. The ground is full of pine flowers and white. Some flowers fell on the water, covering all the rivers and lakes. The big black dragon was overjoyed when he saw it. "Why don't I borrow pine flowers from the mountains?" He thought about it, satiated with food and tidy up neatly, came to Changbai Mountain and Xing 'an Mountains, flew around several times, even lying and scratching, and soon knocked the pine flowers to the ground, and the tornado swept away and gathered on the lake. Looking at it again, the river was completely white, and the big black dragon, satiated with food and drink, secretly left the East China Sea and came to Lianhua Lake, suddenly surrendering to the little white dragon. Unfortunately, the little white dragon was not locked. Later, he turned south from the East Haikou and fled to the present Xingkai Lake. Since then, the big black dragon has put all the mountains and rivers back, leaving only three big rivers, namely Heilongjiang, Wusuli and Songhua River today. Later, the water in Lotus Lake became less and less, and it became a half-moon Wudalianchi. Daxinganling and Changbai Mountain are also separated, one is over there and the other is in the north. Some places where Xiajiang Big Black Dragon has been leveled mountains and turned them into swamps. Since then, pine trees have stopped flowering. In memory of this big black dragon, this river is called Songhua River.
