Three beautiful legends about jade

Legend 1: Lovers turned into birds

According to legend, there was a young man named Yan Chiyu who fled to northern Myanmar to escape famine. He was not used to the local climate and water and contracted malaria. When he was about to die, he was saved by the local tribal leader, the Kachin Mountain Officer.

The young man came from outside the mountain and was well-informed, smart and capable, so the leader appreciated him very much. So he kept him as his guard - the leader of the red-clothed team.

Later, he was spotted by Kingfisher, the daughter of Green Feather Mountain Official, the leader of the Green Clothes Team. The two secretly fell in love and got married at the Mu Nao Singing Festival. However, in order to compete for the official position, Shan Guan's archenemy shot Yan Chiyu, who was protecting Shan Guan, with a poisoned arrow.

In order to protect their lover and their sisters, the kingfisher took the injured Liaoyan Chiyu and escaped, and with the help of the high priest, they transformed into a flying bird and flew out of the enemy's siege.

But the good times did not last long. The ill-fated lovers were cast into stone by their enemy, who used magic to turn them into stone and they ended up in the area of ​​present-day Hpakant. Because they were too pure, they all turned into beautiful emeralds.

Because Yan Chiyu hugged the kingfisher tightly when he died, the outside of the jadeite raw stone has a red skin, and the inside is emerald green jade.

Legend 2: The Emperor drove his brothers away

The story begins with the palace fight of an ancient emperor. The ancient emperor suspected that his brothers would seize his throne in the future, so he appointed his three brothers as kings and sent them to guard the border. But he was still worried and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. The three kings who received the news were heartbroken and desperate and decided to leave Middle-earth.

The first king went eastward with a golden banner, representing gold.

The second king went south with a green flag, which represented emerald.

The third king went north with a black flag, which represented coal.

The prime minister knew about this and tried to persuade the emperor not to kill his brothers. The emperor listened to the prime minister's advice and decided to get his brothers back, but the brothers ran in different directions.

He had no choice but to chase after his youngest brother, and finally caught up with the third king at the northern border and apologized to him. The third king was moved by his sincerity and stayed at the northern border to defend against foreign enemies forever. That is why there are so many coal resources left in Middle-earth.

Legend 3: The Jade Fairy Blesses

There was a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in Dali, Yunnan. The family had a daughter who was smart, virtuous, and beautiful. She was favored by the King of Burma and was betrothed to him. After being married to Myanmar, she felt very sorry when she saw that the local people lacked medical care and medicine.

In order to relieve the local people in Myanmar from the torture of diseases, he traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the Ivalodi River to treat diseases for the local people.

Eventually, he died of illness due to overwork in Hpakant on the banks of the Irrawaddy River. The local people held a grand funeral for her on the banks of the Ivalodi River, hoping that her soul would ascend to heaven to protect their family.

However, in order to benefit the people, she was unwilling to ascend to heaven to enjoy wealth and glory. Instead, her soul merged into the ground and turned into a beautiful crystal stone. She became the Emerald Fairy respected by the world.
