Yinchuan, located in the middle of Ningxia Plain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, is a famous historical and cultural city in China. 1958 10, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region was established. Yinchuan, the capital of the autonomous region, is the political, economic and cultural center of the autonomous region, and is known as the "pearl on the wall". Yinchuan, the pearl of Shanghai, is a beautiful city with a beautiful name-Phoenix. Why is it also called Phoenix? Because there is a beautiful legend circulating here: Phoenix is also called firebird and fairy bird. Every time a phoenix dies, its whole body will ignite a fire, and then it will be reborn in the fire, gaining stronger vitality than before, which is called "Phoenix Nie _". In this way, the phoenix won eternal life, so it is called the "immortal bird". It is said that Phoenix is a happy bird. Where there is a phoenix, there is happiness. Phoenix Seven Sisters lives on a high mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. It often benefits people. Therefore, Jiangnan is beautiful, with beautiful scenery and outstanding people, and the people live a rich and happy life. Ningxia was thin and poor at that time, and the drought lasted for many years. The people of all ethnic groups living here work hard, but they still can't change poverty. The joy of birds spread to Ningxia, and people are looking forward to the phoenix flying to Ningxia day and night to benefit the local people. Moved by everyone's sincerity, Dayan volunteered to fly to the south of the Yangtze River and told Phoenix the voice of the people in Ningxia. After Phoenix knew these things, they sat down together to discuss, and the youngest Seven Sisters decided to go to Ningxia. Knowing that they couldn't beat her, the sisters agreed, hoping that she would come back soon. When my sister left, all the birds in the mountains and people in the south of the Yangtze River came to see her off and sent many gifts to people in Ningxia. Phoenix Seven Sisters, led by geese, took Hongyun to Ningxia. After a while, I flew to Liupanshan. People here see red clouds floating in the sky and think it is a sign of auspicious arrival, so people beat gongs and drums, sing and dance to celebrate. After arriving in Ningxia, Phoenix didn't want to stay for a moment. It flies east first and then west. She looked at the scene before her and exclaimed, "Ah! How can there be cracks in such a large flat land? " So she began to draw a line here and a line there. Everything she passed became a dripping channel, and the mouth of the channel was connected with the Yellow River. The Xixia Mausoleum in Ningxia has not been built for a long time, and the Yinchuan Plain is full of flowers, trees and crops. Cattle, sheep, horses and camels run in droves on the grassland; Liupanshan changed into green clothes, and Helan Mountain became a green hill. The mountains and rivers in Ningxia have become as beautiful as those in Jiangnan. Phoenix thought, "People here are hardworking and kind, so I will stay here and not go back." She regards Ningxia as her hometown, farming with people of all ethnic groups and feeding livestock. One year, the leader of an alien tribe in a remote place in western Ningxia led his troops and horses into the mountains and rivers of Ningxia. They burned, killed, looted and ran amok. Phoenix turned itself into a city in a hurry and shut people in Ningxia in the city. The gates are closed all around, so the enemy can't get in. After three months of continuous fighting, the enemy was short of food and grass and had to retreat. After the enemy came, everyone hid in the city, and when the enemy left, they went out of the city to continue their lives. After Phoenix became a city, she asked the geese to send a message to the sisters in the south of the Yangtze River. First, she told them that she was safe, and at the same time, she told them that she would never return to Jiangnan. From then on, geese fly to Jiangnan every autumn to send greetings to Seven Sisters; The following spring, I returned to Ningxia in the north with my thoughts of my sixth sister. There is an evil official in Ningxia who is insatiable! He heard that there was a golden pony in Black Lake Spring, and he wanted to secretly get it into his own hands. He thought to himself, "I stole that golden pony." I'm afraid I can't hide from the phoenix? " How can it not be noticed? "The official rolled his eyes and thought," Hum! If people don't pay attention to killing the phoenix, won't it be over? Phoenix, don't blame me for being heartless. People die for money! "The next day, before dawn, he quietly came to the place where Phoenix lived with a sword and cut its neck. However, Feng Huang's heart is not dead. She still misses the mountains and rivers in Ningxia and the people here. The eighth letter of the English alphabet.
In order to commemorate Phoenix and remember her sacrifice for the mountains and rivers in Ningxia, people call Yinchuan, which she transformed, "Phoenix City".
