But compared with the happy ending of Five Golden Flowers, the original legend of butterfly spring is the Dali version of Butterfly Lovers.
The Legend of butterfly spring
According to legend, in ancient times, there was a clear spring under the Yunnong Peak in Cangshan Mountain, and a curved acacia tree grew by the spring. There is a small village near the spring. There is a young man and a young woman in the village. This man named A Qiang is hardworking, brave and simple. This woman's name is Jane. She is beautiful, kind and clever.
On the third day of March, Jane gave A Qiang a "Hundred Butterflies Towel" embroidered with hundreds of butterflies, all of which were lifelike and full of friendship.
It's a pity that local bullies and local rich people have given up on tea and rice since they saw Jane's beauty in March Street. How can he not eat? Then rob Jane to get married.
When Aaron came back from hunting, he found that in less than a day, Ahua was going to marry a bully and hemp seed. How is that possible? In the evening, he broke into Asako's house and rescued Jen alone, but Asako was outnumbered. A Qiang Jane looked at each other and jumped into the spring together.
The next day, a pair of big butterflies flew out of spring and went to the end of the world. Butterfly spring also came from this.
Although the ending is butterflies flying, at least the male protagonist in this story is not as weak as Liang Shanbo.
Acacia butterfly
Although the legend may not be true, the butterfly must be true.
Every spring from March to May, the spring breeze blows, flowers bloom and butterflies fly. Hundreds of butterflies came from all directions. They walk in the crowd, very lively; They are colorful, hidden in the bushes, flickering; Like clouds, they hover around the spring in different sizes.
There happened to be a acacia tree spanning the spring, with vigorous trunk, swaying branches and leaves and full of vitality. Flowers bloom in April every year, and the petals open during the day, like a beautiful butterfly; At night, the petals close and give off a fragrance.
Xu Xiake visited this place and praised, "There are big trees on the spring. By the beginning of April, flowers are like butterflies and their wings are like butterflies. " So flowers are butterflies, and butterflies are flowers.
If the butterfly is connected end to end, tied into a long rope and hung on a branch, it will be integrated with the leaves, and it is difficult to separate the butterfly leaves; If butterflies are scattered and mottled, they can't live without falling flowers.
No wonder Guo Moruo wrote: "There are butterfly trees in butterfly spring. Butterflies fly to thousands of trees, several meters end to end, and inflorescences hang down from the trees." .
Butterfly spring water
When butterflies hover over spring, you will notice that there is a little blue in the green of spring. Why?
Butterfly spring is located in the northeast plate of Erhai fault. Many sinkholes and karst caves have been formed under the action of groundwater dissolution, and karst aquifers have been formed by atmospheric precipitation and surface water recharge. The groundwater in this aquifer overflows the surface and forms the butterfly spring.
This formation process makes the spring water contain a variety of minerals, and the beautiful color is the appearance of minerals dissolved in high transparency water. Of course, the spring water is deep enough, and it is also possible that the spring water absorbs light from other chromatograms and only reflects blue light.
Liangzhu club
Has its beautiful moment, shouldn't there be a lover? Like the butterfly party on March 3 in Five Golden Flowers, the girl's colorful lace apron and colorful scarves and silver ornaments, so charming; The young man is white, with a black jacket and a three-stringed back. How handsome he is. Looking for a lover in love songs.
It doesn't matter whether I found it early or not. I will spend money to buy a concentric lock or a red wish. If I have company, I will always unite as one. If I don't have company, I firmly believe that it is thousands of miles away to meet and hate each other. Anyway, spending money can reduce my pain and increase my happiness. The scenic spot is quite considerate.
Bless everyone with the story of five golden flowers! In March, I came to spring again and traveled all over Cangshan and Erhai. After many twists and turns and mistakes, I finally put my heart together forever.
