the origin of cornucopia
According to legend, in ancient times, the universe was a dark mass, as if it were covered with black gauze. There was no sky, no land, and nothing. Abamubita (the Emperor of Heaven) called God Gong Mu and Brazil to make heaven, and also called Mother God to make land as a supplement to the west. When the heavens and the earth were created, Abamubita was also called to create the sun, the moon and the stars, and then created everything. At this time, the earth was quiet and lifeless.
Abamubita looked at the quiet land and said with great anxiety, "When the land is built, everything is there. Who will be in charge of the land?" Someone must be in charge of everything on the earth! " So he began to make people. He carved nine pairs of small wooden figures from the trunk of azaleas according to his own appearance, put the wooden figures in a pit, and covered the edge with slate. Gently uncover the slate every day and give Xiao Mu people three breaths. On the first May Day, as soon as the slate was uncovered, eighteen Xiao Mu people began to blink; On the second May, as soon as the slate was unveiled, eighteen Xiao Mu people were shaking their heads and cutting; On the third May Day, there was a rustling and chattering sound in the pit. Just as Abamubita uncovered the stone slab, Xiao Mu people ran out, saw the wind grow, became adults, and went to the mountains and plains to find their own lives. In this way, the earth had a race.
Mubita made man. Life here grows very fast, and in a short time, groups of people are everywhere in the earth. Like wild animals, they have long hair, live in caves or big trees, and when they are hungry, they pick some wild fruits or beat some wild animals to eat. When it is cold, they tie leaves and skins around them to keep out the cold. At this time, people, regardless of gender, lived together at sixes and sevens, whether it was mother and son, brother and sister, men and women were promiscuous, and how many babies were born in one child were dragged by their mothers. I didn't know who their fathers were, so they were no different from wild animals.
Tian Mu Bitacha toured the land, and saw that people were promiscuous with men and women, just like wild animals. He shouted angrily, "how can such a mortal rule the earth?" What a scandal! Man should be the spirit of all things, how can he be like the beast? No way! No! " Mubita angrily turned to heaven, so she called a goddess named Goobabasi, explained the situation of earthly mortals to her, and told her to take charge of this great event of human marriage, so as to quickly stop the promiscuous behavior of mortal men and women, she could only be monogamous and stop being a jerk.
Goose Baba was puzzled by Mubita's will, and she didn't know how to start this work. She had to stand on the top of a high mountain every day and shout to the crowd, "Hey! Listen, mortal of the earth! Abamubita's sacred wish is that you should get married monogamous, and men and women should not be promiscuous. People can't be like wild animals! ?” But no one listened to her advice and still went his own way.
Later, the goddess came up with a good idea with the help of her brother Zhibivasi (the god who specializes in mortal incarnations). She built her own residence in the rhododendron forest on Mount Kerkebe, which is the boundary between man and god, and gathered a pair of sheep horns left after being slaughtered and eaten in the Heavenly Palace, stacking the left corner of the sheep on the left side of her residence and the right corner of the sheep on the right side of her residence. Then it was stipulated to the mortal who was to be reincarnated: all mortal who was reincarnated and reincarnated must pass through here, and the man walked to the right of the goddess, and took a horn from the horn pile on the right and picked a bunch of azaleas; The woman walked to the left of the goddess, and took a horn from the pile of horns on the left and picked a bunch of azaleas. Men and women who take the horns of the same sheep will become a couple when they come to earth. In this way, the goddess formulated the claw marriage on earth, and ended the disorderly match on earth.
In order to promote the early matching of numbers in the world's goat-horn marriage, the goddess comes to earth every April when the azalea blooms, and hides in the tree-lined bushes to sing love songs, so as to ignite the love fire in the hearts of young men and women, attract them to sing and dance in the forest, and promote the goat-horn marriage in pairs. At this time, the woman presented a bouquet of azaleas to the man, indicating that the marriage of Yangjiao matched the number. The man took the azaleas home and inserted them in front of the white stone altar to express his gratitude to Mubita and the goddess. Then, the man can formally propose his engagement to the woman's family. Therefore, the Qiang people call azaleas "cornucopia" and engagement "flower arrangement".
