What's the story about Wang Miao's entrepreneurship?

According to legend, there is a place in the north called "Old Flood and Old Stream", where an old woman who has no children or daughters lives. One day, the old man was washing clothes by the river in front of his house and saw something floating upstream, a colorful bird with wings. The old man salvaged it and it turned out to be a copper pot. There is a child lying in the pot, with thick eyebrows, high nose and square lips, which is very cute. The old man took it home to raise and gave it to the children. "De", Miao language is a dragon, which was salvaged by children from the river. The colorful bird also went home with the old man and made a nest in a big tree next to the house. Every day when the sun comes out, it cries. Everyone said that the sun changed, and it was called "Sunbird". Day by day, Ade has grown into a strong young man, working in the fields with the elderly during the day, and playing with copper pots on the lawn in front of the door whenever he has time. As soon as the sunbird in the tree heard the sound of the copper pot, it flew down and jumped around on the ground, attracting groups of young men and women to gather on the lawn in front of the door, and the girl door began to imitate the sunbird.

One day one year, suddenly the sky was overcast, the rain poured down and the flood surged. Sunbirds fly on branches, peck off leaves, turn into white clouds and float in the air. White clouds carry people to the northwest of the ice and snow, so Adebayor had to fly to the southeast with the sunbird. Fly! Fly! Flying south, I saw a mountain on the water. Soon after the flood receded, forests, mountains and canyons appeared, and they began to settle down, cut down trees to build houses, and cut mountains to make farmland. Five hundred men and women from Adnan married each other.

After Adnan came, he set three commandments to teach future generations: first, be filial to the clan; Second, don't go down the hill; Third, dressing is not easy. Therefore, Miao people now live in mountainous areas, love Miao costumes, respect their ancestors and love their clans.

After Ade's death, his descendants honored him as the "king" and built a temple for his statue at the foot of Jialiang Mountain in the west. In the past, every year on February 2nd, Miao people gathered in front of Wang Miao Temple to play bronze drums, play lusheng, sing and dance to commemorate "Wang Miao".
