Jingwei reclamation

Legend, Yan Emperor had a daughter called nwa, nwa smart, lively and lovely, beautiful, Yan Emperor very like her. One day, she went out of the village, looking for children to play, and saw an older child riding a child as a horse. The kids were exhausted, but the older kids wouldn't stop. The girl went over and pointed at the big boy's forehead and scolded: "You are too bad to bully children. If you have the strength to fight tigers and bears, people will say you are a hero."

When the older children saw that the girl was a little girl, weak and weak, they ignored her. He jumped off the boy's back, walked to the girl and said, "I am the son of the Dragon King. Who are you? How dare you interfere with me!" The girl said, "What's the big deal about the dragon king's son? I'm still The daughter of Shennong. From now on, don't go wild on the land.

The son of the dragon king said, "I'll let you know what I'm doing first. He said he would fight. When the girl was young, she went hunting with her father in the mountains. She was very agile and strong. When she saw the opponent's insolence, she did not show weakness, but dodged the opponent's fist and kicked the dragon king's son in the mouth.

The dragon king's son stood up and refused to give in. He punched the girl in the chest and fell flat on his back.

The son of the dragon king saw that he could not beat the girl, so he returned to the sea dejectedly.

Some days later, the girl went swimming in the sea. She was having a good time when the dragon king's son found her. He swam over and said to the girl, You got a good deal on the land that day. Now come to my door and confess your mistake, or I'll make trouble and drown you.

The girl stubbornly said: "I am right, recognize what wrong."

Seeing that the girl was stubborn, the dragon king's son did not want to concede defeat. He stirred up the sea and raised the fierce wind and waves. The girl had no time to struggle, but was drowned and never came back.

The girl was not reconciled to her death, so her spirit changed into a bird, named "Jingwei". Jingwei has a flowered head, a white mouth, red claws and is about the size of a crow. He lives in Fahatoyama Mountain in the north. She was destroyed by the pitiless sea, and she thought that other people might also lose their young lives. So she carried twigs and stones from the western mountain and threw them into the sea, trying to fill up the sea. She flies endlessly back and forth between the Western mountains and the East Sea.

But the roaring sea laughed at her and said, "Come, little bird, you could work for a million years, but you would never fill me up!"

But Jingwei, soaring high in the sky, answered firmly, "I will fill you up even if I work for 10, 10 million years until the end of the world!"

'Why do you hate me so much? "Because of you -- you have taken my young life, and many more young innocent lives you will take without mercy."

"Then do it, silly bird -- do it! The sea laughed.

Jingwei cries sadly from high above, "I want to do it! I'll do it! I'll go on doing it forever! This sad sea, I shall fill you up with dust some day!"

She flew and screamed, left the sea, and flew back to the western hills; Carry stones and branches from the western mountains and throw them into the sea. And so she flew on and on, never resting, and she still does it today.
