South China Sea Myth

It is rumored that in ancient times, there was a couple who sang to each other on the Apoling (also known as Dachailing) on the border of Qunying Township and Baoting County in Lingshui County, and the singing of the two attracted a group of young people of the Li nationality to sing and dance on the mountain, attracting more young people to join the party. Later, because the couple was poisoned by picking mountain fruits, people broke up unhappily. Since then, every night or rainy day, the sound of singing and hitting wooden sticks can be heard on the firewood ridge, evoking people's nostalgia for the couple, and the "Firewood Dance" has been spread since then.

In Sanya City, there is another legend: in ancient times, there was a Li king who died, and his two sons, Ala, and Ah Fa, made an exception to fast for 22 days and held a grand "Zuoba". The sound of gongs and drums shook the imperial palace of the Han people, and the king of Han sent troops to investigate. Al and Ah Fa were forced to carry their coffins and move over the mountains. Along the way, in order to drive away the cold and defend against the attacks of various fierce beasts, he constantly knocked on the wooden sticks to strengthen his voice, and the "Firewood Dance" was born.

In the evenings of the farming and harvest seasons, two logs with the size of bowls and about 4 meters long are placed parallel to each other about 2 meters on the floor. A number of thin wooden sticks or bamboo poles are set horizontally on the log, and several pairs of people squat opposite each other on the outside of the two logs. Male and female dancers, with the rhythm of the fast and slow, light shuttle, jumping in it. Whenever the dancers successfully jump over the wooden poles or bamboo poles, the clappers holding the stick or bamboo ends will chant in unison. Thrilling and powerful movements, lively and hearty emotions, like waves together. The warm and witty atmosphere is very touching.

In the lobby of Nanhai Hotel, Dr. Myth and General Manager Li Dajiang enjoyed the program while discussing the organization of tourism activities. The advertisement for "Love Myth Experience Tour" drafted by Dr. Myth caused a sensation after it was published in Metropolis Daily. After all, the content of the event is novel and interesting. In addition, reform and opening up have brought about social progress, making the masses increasingly prosperous, but also bringing the pressure of competition to the masses, and people hope to relax their spirits.

The sign at the door of room 201 of Nanhai Hotel is very eye-catching, imitating the words of Song style: "Nanhai Love Myth Experience Tour Registration Office". Dr. Myth didn't expect that the phone kept ringing all day long. Some calls are from tourists' relatives who want to consult the specific content of the activity: some calls are from the tourists themselves, contacting the time and cost of the activity; Some of the calls were from reporters who wanted to understand the purpose and significance of the event. Among them, an old man with silver hair came to the room, and Dr. Myth and Li Ping received him.

The old man said: "My name is Zhang Shuliang, I am 70 years old this year, and I worked in a tropical botanical research institute in my early years. When I was traveling in Sanya, I met Zhang Xiaoying, a female middle school teacher who was 8 years younger than me, and her husband had passed away. So, we used to talk together. I unknowingly fell in love with this woman, and I also felt that this female teacher had a crush on me. I didn't know how to confess my feelings, so I let all my feelings vent on the letterhead. Love letter after love, without the guts to see the sun, all locked in a wooden box in a dark corner. Now, my life is counting down, and I really want to let Zhang Xiaoying know my feelings in my lifetime. Zhang Shuliang spoke very frankly, and he also told his marriage experience.

- The first time I got married, I said to my wife, I want us to love to the end of life. She said, don't sell your mouth to me, if you don't give me new furniture within two years, I will divorce you. I reminded her that I hadn't done it in months, and I wanted to do it. She said, I'm sorry, I don't want to do it. I couldn't hold it back, so I quietly took off her pants at night, and as soon as I put it in, she jerked on her pants, and I was hurt. I didn't even dare to hum, and I lost interest. How many years have passed. She said, I didn't want to do what you wanted, I want to do it now, why are you always soft. She didn't know that I was scared of her.

I don't want to sleep with her, she likes to have her mouth half open. I was worried that when I fell asleep, she would bite off my ear. She's pretty, but I don't like her awake or asleep looks. Feelings are like this, when you love, you feel ugly and beautiful, not loved, ugly is uglier, and beautiful is not beautiful. One day, his wife collided with a truck while riding her bicycle at work, and she died when she was taken to the hospital. I think, after all, it's a husband and wife, not to mention a son, and I can't help crying. Someone comforted me and said, "You don't have a good relationship."

She went, and you became a happy bachelor. How do you know that when I sleep alone in my room, I am very prone to dreams of dead people? At this time, I felt that the loss of my wife was the loss of support.

The second woman is a married woman. Her husband is a professor, she is a year older than me, and her position is one level higher than mine, so her character should be said to be very good. We had a meeting and went on a business trip to talk about life in the hotel, and she was moved by me and took the initiative to fall into my arms, which I, a bachelor, accepted unconditionally. However, three times and twice in the park, she always leaned on me and cried, saying that she didn't want to be with her husband, and that she was afraid that I would find someone and lose me. Instead of being moved, I felt scared. Finally, one day I said to her, you are older than me, I feel pressure, I dare not do this with you again. Then she said, I'll go jump into the river. At this point, I was so scared that I couldn't breathe for a long time. Eventually, her husband found out about me, and I had to leave her, and I was glad I had a reason to leave her. Although I like her sincerity and warmth, I am not afraid of death when I am with a married woman.

The third woman is Zhang Xiaoying, the most ideal. However, we are neither husband nor wife, nor are we lovers, maybe I am unrequited, but I always feel that she has a soft spot for me. Zhang Shuliang added a sentence here: "Doesn't your advertising slogan have a key word: I hope that a lover will eventually become a family?".

When Shi Xiaolin and Li Ping heard this, they felt a little embarrassed, they looked very pitiful at the old man's appearance, and felt that they should try their best to meet the old man's wishes. Fortunately, this female teacher is in Haikou, so it is easy to contact. They asked Mr. Zhang Shuliang to go home to rest and wait for good news.

Yang Yang came to Li Ping and Dr. Mythology and said: "The three female tourists who just came to report are sitting on the platform, soliciting customers, and the eldest sister. When Dr. Myth heard this, he couldn't help but secretly complain. A woman with dark eyes saw him and said delicately: "Dr. Shi, I am here to participate in your love myth experience tour, and I hope to get your support." "
