What is the legend of Tran City in Nositi?

On the national emblem of Mexico, there is also a beautiful legend of the Aztecs, in which an eagle swallowed a snake. According to legend, the tribal god of the Aztecs is the god of war, Vitz Polochitelli, and his mother gave birth to 400 sons and a daughter. Later, the mother of the God of War became a widow. One day, my mother found a glittering jade ball in a sacred place, held it in her arms, and came back pregnant. Her more than 400 children were very angry and agreed to kill the baby as soon as it landed. Mother knew, and looked at her bulging belly day by day, frowning and worried. The child said to her loudly in her stomach, "Mom, don't be afraid!" " "After the child was born, he became a fully armed soldier. As soon as he landed, he shot an arrow with a bow and shot at his brothers and sisters in all directions (moral of this story: mother is the earth, god of war is the sun, sister is the moon, and brother is the stars all over the sky). As soon as the sun came out, it drove the moon and stars away. Since then, the Aztecs living on the island have followed the God of War and waged wars constantly. Because the Aztecs nourished their legendary sun god by offering sacrifices to people, they killed countless sacrificial gods in the temple of the sun to pray for the normal operation of the sun to ensure the immortality of the universe. For the god of war, it is necessary to pay homage to the blood and heart of prisoners of war in order to be reborn. Later, the god of war said to people, stop wandering around and find a place to live! If you see an eagle standing on a cactus and sucking a poisonous snake anywhere, that's where you have lived for generations. According to the revelation of the god of war, the Aztecs traveled across mountains and rivers and searched around day and night. Finally, in 1248, the Aztecs saw an eagle standing on a cactus and devouring a poisonous snake on the west bank of Lake Teskoko. They found their own home, settled down by the lake and began to build their own home. This is the capital city established by the Aztecs on the swamp island in the west of Lake Teskoko-Noxititlan (the predecessor of Mexico City, meaning the stone of mountains and rivers). Therefore, people later called the civilization created by the Aztecs "the culture next to cactus".

Master of the world once, the old man Vala went fishing near the waterfall, but forgot to tell his family where he was going. It's getting dark, and the heavy night covers all the silent things. The old man hasn't come home yet, and his daughter is very worried, so she decided to look for him. However, she also forgot to explain to her family.

She walked to the river alone. At this time, the moon poked its head out of the clouds and sprinkled silver-gray brilliance on every corner of the earth like snowflakes. Under his mercury-cold beam, everything became bright, just like the day arrival. The girl sat on the floor and looked up at the boundless sky. Suddenly, she felt a shadow coming down from the moon and falling to the ground quickly. At this time, the dream god gently caged the girl's eyes ... that night, shortly after the girl left, Vala returned home. He was afraid of his daughter's worry and came back as soon as possible, but where is her daughter? He couldn't help worrying. Just when I was extremely anxious, I suddenly remembered witchcraft that had been useless for a long time. So, he began to sit still and cast spells, such as entering a dream, trying to find out the trace of his daughter. All you can see is some vague shadows, gathering and scattering. The old man was afraid that something would run away, so he quickly grabbed a handful of powder extracted from coca leaves and inhaled it into his nose, then stuffed tobacco leaves into his mouth to continue to increase his mana. This time, a man's shadow appeared in front of him, soaring from the ground into the air. The old man stretched out his hands to catch him, but his eyes were blocked by something and his body fell like a cut grass.

The heart is an important symbol of the Aztecs. This stone has a red and green heart and a smooth surface. It may be a pendant hanging around the neck. When he woke up, there was chaos around him. Vala is determined to rely on her skills to find her daughter day and night.

The dream god awakened the girl and she continued along the river bank. It was dark and she climbed a high mountain. You can also see the falling moon from the top of the mountain. The afterglow of the moon sparkled in the girl's eyes. She felt very tired and soon fell asleep again. In the evening, she had a dream that she gave birth to a boy who would become the master of all things in the universe. She remembered that the child was transparent all over.

In the morning, the girl was awakened by the impact of the mountain stream. She looked around in surprise. The waves are coming from all directions. An island can be seen at the lower reaches of the river. The girl swam there in despair. The outlying island is very close, but it happened that a giant fish surfaced from the bottom of the river and sucked her into her stomach with one mouth. Before long, the big fish vomited to the shore and swam into the water again. On land, the girl was surprised to find a deep wound on her stomach. She put her hand on the wound and it didn't hurt at all, but she felt her stomach was empty.

The water level is still rising and the island is almost submerged. The girl tried to climb the tree, but she felt very weak. Just then, a red-footed falcon landed in a nearby tree.

The girl asked him for help, and the red-footed falcon said, "I'll prescribe some magic medicine for you, put it on your body, and eat all the rest!" " "

The girl did as he said. Before she swallowed the rest of the medicine, she turned into a monkey and jumped into the tree effortlessly.

At this time, the old man predicted that her grandson would come to the world through divination, so he began to exert magic and quit (similar to the out-of-body experience of the Yuan God) until his shadow had to break up with him. One day, the shadow met a monster with a bird's head ... From the whole symptom, the old man had to go to the forest to find his grandson before he could find his daughter.

When the sun rose, the old man walked into the dense forest with his bow and arrow. He met many wild animals, each of which looked like his grandson. Later, not far from the fork of the river, he saw a bird-headed monster. The monster stared at the sun with a contented vulture singing in his throat. The old man walked up to him, poked him with a bow and said, "grandson, I'm hungry." Give you a bow and arrow, go hunting, and you have to eat yourself. "

After waiting for a long time, I saw that the monster ignored it and just reached out and left a bow and arrow. If there is nothing else, Vala is going to go home in the same way. Suddenly he stopped and said to himself, "Who knows if he is my grandson? However, why not try ... "

He changed back and became a monitor lizard.

As soon as the bird-headed monster saw the lizard, it became a warrior. It rolled up its bow and shot an arrow at the lizard's head, but the arrow returned to its original place. Just then, the lizard disappeared. Vala found a safe place, returned to her original shape and breathed easily: "He is indeed my grandson and almost killed me."

At this time, the grandson had followed his grandfather's instructions and came back from hunting, holding a bunch of wild animals in his hand: "Grandpa, I hunted this," he said. "What a nice arrow you made. Only one lizard escaped from me, and the arrow broke off its head. "

Without saying anything, the old man picked up his prey and set off to cook. He cooked the meat and called to his grandson, "Come, my grandson, eat," he said. "I'm a little tired and want to go to bed early!"

While eating, the young man noticed a deep scar on grandpa's head and asked, "Where did this scar come from?"

Living sacrifice is very important in Aztec culture. Most people who choose to sacrifice are men, usually prisoners of war. "The sun was dazzling, and I was accidentally hit by a grasshopper."

After dinner, the young man practiced arrows by the house, while the old man fiddled with witchcraft in the house as usual, looking for his daughter. This time the image in front of him is very clear. Vala saw her daughter become a monkey. Later, I learned that the flood drove her to an island and she was starving. Early in the morning, he woke up his grandson and said to him, "Come on, your mother is going to suffer, waiting for us to help!" " "

They flew into the boat and went down the river. When they arrived at the island, the tree was already half submerged. You can see a pencil necked sitting in a tree from a distance, and her ribs are easy to count. They crawled towards her. But the monkey was frightened and jumped into another tree.

"The monkey won't let us near her. I throw a stone at her and you hold her hand so that she won't damage our boat. "

So the young man stood under the branch where the monkey was sitting. The old man threw a stone and the monkey fell. When it fell, the monkey's body opened like a big tent and covered the young man inside. Vala looked back and saw that her daughter had returned to human form, her abdomen was bulging, and now she was pregnant with her son.

The old man sailed against the current and the boat went very fast. After landing, the old man said, "Daughter, now you are finally home. Soon you will have something to eat and drink. "

After eating and drinking enough, the girl slept like a log. At dawn the next day, I woke up shortly before the sun rose. Rubbing her eyes, she said to her father, "Dad, I had a strange dream ... I dreamed that I was at the top of a high mountain, where my baby was born. He has black curly hair and is transparent. He was born to talk. All the animals and birds came and welcomed him happily. At night, the little guy was hungry and I ran out of milk. He cried. I remember a group of hummingbirds and butterflies flying over our heads with honey on their wings. The little guy ate honey, stopped crying and smiled happily. At this time, all the animals in the forest came to press his face. I held the little guy in my arms and felt so tired that I didn't know anything. "

"Early in the morning, when I woke up, the little guy was lying a stone's throw away from me. I represent auspiciousness, richness and debauchery to one of the Aztec rabbit gods. He stretched out his hands, but the animals were roaring. I was frightened and shouted for my son. At this time, a group of butterflies lifted the little guy and flew towards me. I held the baby in my hand and the butterfly stopped on my shoulder. All kinds of animals lie on my chest and kiss my son with their claws. A feeling of jealousy suddenly welled up in my heart, and I held the little guy high. However, with so many wild animals pestering me, I couldn't stand still and fell down. The little guy fell into the butterfly pile. Then I woke up. My dream is really the same, so I look for my son everywhere. "

The old man listened and said nothing. He murmured, "Daughter, this dream is so beautiful! But where is the mountain in the dream? " "I don't know, Dad," she answered. "I only remember that there is a river beside the high mountain."

So the old man turned to witchcraft again. He knows that the baby in his daughter's belly will become the master of the world and will come to this world tonight.

Night enveloped the earth, and the dream god closed the eyelids of old Vala tightly again.

In the middle of the night, all the animals in the forest woke up and walked around the forest, singing happy songs. There is a rustling sound in the sky, just like the wind blowing. This is not the wind, but a collection of birds. They are looking for a new baby.

At dawn, the old man woke up. He was overwhelmed by the noise. Trembling, he asked the animals what had happened.

Everyone answered him with one voice: "Polo Minor, the master and ruler of all things in heaven and earth, was born!"

"Where? Where is he? " The old man asked.

"On Trubaggio Mountain! Trubaggio, mt.! "

Walla immediately rushed to Yosemite, Troubat. But there are so many animals at the foot of the mountain that he can't move. So he turned into a lizard and walked on.

Polominole sat on the top of the mountain. He has a hunter's pipe in his hand. On this day, he divided the land into many pieces, so that all kinds of life on earth were in their proper places.

The next day, Mount Yosemite in Troubat was very quiet. Only on the side where the sun rises, in that distant place, there are bursts of songs, and that is the mother of the world master Poirot Minar singing!

Achbona, the virgin of the sun, is the sister of the king of Aztec kingdom. She is gentle, demure and affectionate, and is deeply loved by her father Mo Zhansuma. After their parents died, the elder brother who succeeded to the throne took care of them. The longer the little princess is, the more beautiful and fit she is. But when I was young, I was always depressed ... people around me were in a hurry to ask the wise and witch doctors. They said that the princess was possessed and should be given a different environment. You can take her to the King's Hot Spring Palace to recuperate. Achbona was twenty years old. Later, the royal family, the king's advisers and priests all thought that only when the princess's soul was purified could her depression be cured. So, it was decided that the princess would go to the Sun Temple to worship God in the name of the wife of the Sun God.

However, the days passed day by day. Whether in a nursing home or in the palace of the sun god, Achinbona is as sad and trance as before.

At that time, a great event happened in the kingdom ruled by her brother. It will bring about great changes in the fate of the whole kingdom: the young and brave Kuytriak was sent to Aztec by his brother Huiziluo Bo Chetri, accompanied by ten nobles from Turan countries. At that time, Huiziluo Bochetelli's powerful Aztec Leopard Corps had conquered the northern plateau. The god of war sent his brother as a special envoy to form an alliance with the Aztec kingdom.

The eagle leader of Aztec opposed to compromise with the leopard family, detained Cortria and his entourage, sent them to the king for disposal, and confiscated all their gifts for the sun god.

When the prisoner was taken to the palace, Achbona was burying the remains of the Aztec altar under Tacuba Street in downtown Mexico. Walking in the garden When she saw a handsome young man in uniform riding by, she was dumbfounded and her heart was pounding. He fainted to the ground because of excitement. The maid-in-waiting hurried forward to help and reported what had happened to the king.

Archibona seems to have passed out. The maids massaged her and called her name, but she never opened her eyes. People carefully carried her back to the "Goddess Virgin" Palace, and when she woke up, she was disappointed. Therefore, everyone thought she was dead.

At dusk, a grand ceremony was held, and Achinbona was carried to the kingdom bedroom near the Sun Temple for burial. According to the custom, she is surrounded by incense burners, silver cups, flowers and plants and daily food. Mourners all expressed their grief and tears at the death of this beautiful princess.

Couterie Yake, who was imprisoned in the prison next to the Temple of the Sun, was worried that he would be killed and that his furious brother would destroy this beautiful ancient kingdom. He doesn't want brothers from the same ancestor who worship the same sun god to kill each other again in this difficult land.

Quetryak prayed to Veracocha, the sun god: if he can help the Aztec eagle warriors and leopard warriors live in harmony, even if he contributes his young life; If the sun god can bless him to live to see the day when peace comes, he will make his son the guardian of the noble sun god palace forever.

After the prayer, Kriak came to the crack in the stone wall of the stone house and sat back to back, waiting for the revelation from the sun god. Who knows, as soon as he leaned up, he fell into a dark ancient passage on his back. He walked along this passage with great surprise until he reached the solemn temple of the sun. Quetrijak suppressed his ecstasy, solemnly pulled out the silver knife beside him, stabbed the hot blood on his chest, and offered it to the altar in front of the sun god. At this time, he seemed to hear a thin moan from the royal bedroom in the distance.

Kriak couldn't restrain his inner curiosity. Get up the courage to listen, as if it were a woman's voice. I think it must be an instruction from the sun god to save the woman who was buried alive and make his second promise come true.

Kuytriak gently pushed open the bedroom door. He was shocked by what he saw: a pale woman lying among the flowers. She groaned feebly. When he approached her, ready to speak, she opened her eyes slightly. Quetryak hesitated, not knowing whether to continue to escape or stay and fulfill his promise to God. He saw that the girl was pitiful and mixed with a little expectation, and made a decision quickly. So he took her hand, kissed the girl on the face with respect and anxiety, and then held her tightly in his arms. The girl stayed in Quetrijak's warm arms for a while and broke free gently. Their words are interlinked, attracting each other like magnets, telling each other their identity and origins and the affectionate words that all young lovers have, and kissing each other fiercely until Quetrijak suddenly realized his situation. He promised to come back to her again. The princess said to him, "well, see you tonight, dear, your baby is waiting for you here!" " "She spent four sweet sleepless nights with the handsome knight of the enemy. These two young people love each other in the bedroom ... Achbona only appeared in public after dawn. She sent a message to the king, asking him to come in person. There was something important to discuss. At this time, people came and went in the palace of the sun god. Archibona wore flowers, her face was as rosy as a flower that had just been nourished by rain and dew, and she walked in the crowd with a bright smile. People were surprised to see that their beautiful princess finally smiled-Achinbona was resurrected-and the news spread all over the streets and caused people's amazement.

When the king arrived, he already knew everything. When the priests saw him, they knelt down to pay their respects. When Achbona came to see him, the king's eyes showed a trace of love, anger and vague expectation ... The princess called her brother aside and said to him, "Brother King, after I died, I was taken to the noble sun god." He ordered me to return here immediately and advised you not to be enemies with neighboring countries from the same ancestor, and ... "The king interrupted her, and he was already angry.

Stone masks unearthed from the ancient city of Teotihuacan. Craftsmen in Teotihuacan are good at making stone tools, jade articles and pottery. This stone mask is an object used by Teotihuacan people for sacrifice. The king called an emergency command meeting to discuss with advisers and priests what to do with the princess and the missions of neighboring countries. The king believes that according to the law, the princess should be put to death for violating her vows and blaspheming the gods; But the priests advocated that it should be handled according to the will of the sun god; Counselors believe that Huiziluo Bochetelli's mission is not to be weak and compromise, nor to be too tough to aggravate the tension ... Therefore, we must think of another way to deal with it. But what is another punishment? The king didn't say.

The next day, the king and his entourage set out for the capital, and Achinbona also went with them. She was crying and had a premonition that something terrible might happen. Where's Kotliak? The king has ordered him to leave overnight. In order not to be seen by anyone. Ten Turan nobles were sacrificed to the moon god. But no one knows what to do with the princess and Dick Dziak. Until the evening, the fate of the lovers has been mysterious.

At night, in the moonlight, a huge canoe floats on the endless lake, and lovers are sitting on the boat. They were accompanied by several royal family members and a group of guards. Achbona and Kotliak are in a very calm mood. What kind of punishment is more tolerant and sweeter than letting them hug each other? They landed in Coriche and spent another touching and beautiful night in the king's palace. The guards split up to prevent people from disturbing the lovers' dreams ... Then, they were exiled to a mysterious and strange ravine near the city of Kuiyi Nayak, and lived an isolated life under the guards. There, in the night when they dreamed that a snake with beautiful feathers was flying towards them, they quietly gave birth to a baby boy and named it Kuizlkoyatel, which means "snake with beautiful feathers".

Soon, the news came that the two countries shook hands and established the Aztec Union. Achbona and Kotriak couldn't help crying with their children in their arms ... On this day, the couple who had gone through hardships died laughing.

Quetzel Koyatel was welcomed back to the largest sun temple in the Aztec kingdom with the most solemn ceremony, and was regarded as the high priest and patron saint of the sun god by all Aztecs.

Later, in a court debate, he was rejected by brave and aggressive subjects because he expressed his opposition to Huiziluo Bochetelli's continuous election and belligerence. In a rage, he left the sea angrily, leaving only a clank oath: "Aztec, I will come back soon!" " It is still praised by people today.

Living sacrifice is very important in Aztec culture. Most people who choose to sacrifice are men, usually prisoners of war.
