What is the ancient legend of the Achang people’s “Aluwoluo Festival”?

According to the creation epic legend of the Achang people, Chapama and Martha, who separated heaven and earth, are the ancestors of the Achang people. Capa created the sky, ripped off his left breast to create the sun, and ripped off his right breast to create the moon. Martha took off her Adam's apple and used it as a comb, the beard on her chin as a warp thread, and the beard on her chin as a weft thread to weave the earth. Together they created humanity. Chaham teaches men to fish, hunt, and farm during the day, while Mishaham teaches women to cook and weave at night. They also taught people to lift and tie ropes to keep records.

I don’t know how many years passed, but one day, a heavy rain suddenly swept across the earth, flooding all the villages, leaving oceans everywhere, and mankind fell into the abyss of suffering. Gaimima quickly pulled three threads from the ground and sewed the east, west, north and south of the heaven and earth together. There was no thread to sew in the rest of the world to the south, so Zappa and Zamaima decided to build an even worse gate in Lansetan to block the wind and rain from the south. Kapa took the magic commander and 3,000 white cranes to Landan to build an even worse gate.

When life on earth was in danger of destruction, Shameima sent an otter cat to invite Shameima. Kapama used magic to defeat Razumi, chopped him into ten thousand pieces, made a huge bow and arrow, shot down the false sun, and mankind was reborn.

In order for mankind to live a happy life from now on, the creation epic of Zapama and Zami Mahjong was passed to the hands of Huo Pao and flew to heaven. Capa rides on the moon, Kamima rides on the sun. During the day, Kamima looked down at the earth. At night, Chapama patrols the skies over Thailand to protect human peace.

Since then, there has been good weather and sunny weather wherever humans live. People live in harmony with each other and love each other.

Such days have been passed down from generation to generation, but in the 990th generation, the devil of Devil Wax was resurrected.

He hated Chapa and Timmy for tearing him apart for ten thousand years. After thousands of years of suffering, they were born into three strange people. One mouth wants to eat the sky, one mouth wants to eat the earth, and one mouth wants to eat people. He also used magic to dry up all the wells, ditches, and rivers in the world. People want to pick a leaf and chew it. The leaves are dry. He eats nine virgins every day and wants to destroy humanity again. People picked up sticks and knives and forks and beat him to death, but they still couldn't beat the three-legged monster. Later, a young wizard who specialized in singing and composing epic poems, carrying a hard bow on his back, traveled over the mountains and ridges in search of salvation.

He climbed ninety-nine mountains. Along the way, he shot and killed ferocious eagles, defeated tigers and snakes, and went through many hardships. His indomitable will touched the ancestors of Chapa and Misha. The two ancestors turned into two gray-haired old men and came to give away magic weapons. Martha gave him a gourd of holy water. Martha gave him a mulberry tree full of white flowers and said: "The water is holy water, the flowers are holy flowers, and the mulberry tree is a magic wand. No matter what kind of disaster occurs, it can be eliminated by soaking the mulberry tree in holy water and spraying it.'

The abbot took the sacred object, soaked the mulberry trees and flowers in the water in the gourd, and sprinkled it all the way. The flowers, plants and trees were resurrected, and the whole human race was resurrected, and the earth became cool and fresh. The weirdo was finally subdued.

In order to thank Zappa and Zamaima for their contribution to the creation of the world and their great kindness in saving mankind many times, the Achang people held lion dances and elephant dances in Alois. , hold sacrificial activities to commemorate the beginning of spring or the blooming of mulberries and sword flowers.
