Legends of tourist attractions

Here are two stories:

1. Legend about the Great Wall: According to legend, when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, his labor was very heavy. Fan Xiliang, a young man and woman, married Meng Jiangnu for three days, and the groom was forced to start building the Great Wall. Soon, he died of hunger and fatigue, and his bones were buried under the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnv wore a warm coat and went through a lot of hardships. Wan Li came to the Great Wall to look for her husband, only to get the bad news of her husband's death. She cried at the gate for three days and nights, and this section of the Great Wall collapsed, revealing Fan Xiliang's body. Meng Jiangnu buried Fan Xiliang and threw herself into the sea in despair.

2. Legend about Tianshan Tianchi: According to legend, Tianshan Tianchi was once a fairyland where the Queen Mother of the West lived. According to Mu Biography, in 989 BC, people marched westward to Yaochi, Tianshan Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West hosted a banquet and presented silk jade articles. The Queen Mother of the West improvised a song: "White clouds are in the sky and the mountains are out. It's a long way, between mountains and rivers. The child will not die, will he come back? " Zhou Muwang immediately sang: "Go back to the land of the East and manage summer harmoniously. All men are equal. I care about you. Compared with three years, it will return to the wild. " When leaving, the Queen Mother of the West reluctantly said to Zhou Muwang, "I wish you a long life and wish you come again!" However, Zhou Muwang is gone forever.
