The Shattered Celestial Mirror and Frozen Azure Tears
Legend says the deity gave a jade mirror to the snow goddess Wonnosemo, only for it to be shattered by a demon into 108 crystalline Haizi (alpine lakes) across Jiuzhaigou—Long Lake cradles the mirror’s sigh, Five-Flower Lake glimmers with silver fractures, while Rhinoceros Lake holds a drop of the goddess’s tear, still unfading.
Mountain god Dago forged a sword-peak from blizzards to protect his beloved, its hilt eternally plunged by Mirror Lake. Tibetan elders whisper that when mist rises over Reed Lake, you can hear Wonnosemo combing her hair, droplets from her tresses chiming into cascades.
After the earthquake, villagers saw pandas carrying broken bamboo into Sparkling Lake’s fissures. Years later, calcified scars birthed “Newborn Lake”—its cyan fiercer than peacock feathers. Even disaster, it seems, is the mountain gods’ ink to rewrite fate.
—Here, water refuses to freeze
When prayer flags flutter, ancient Sanskrit mantras ripple up from lakebeds. Those who find three colored travertine fragments hear mountain spirits murmur: “What you see isn’t scenery—it’s scales shed by divinity.”
Note: Blending the animism of Bon religion with Tibetan cosmology, this myth frames Jiuzhaigou’s geology as a tale of fragmentation and rebirth, echoing reverence for nature’s resilience.
The Snow of Jade Dragon’s Third Kingdom Never Falls
Legend says when Kamegyu Michin, the first Nakhi殉情者 (lovers who die for love), leaped into Yunshan Meadow, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain cracked open a beam of moonlight. The mountain god Sanduo froze her sighs into the “Third Kingdom”—where souls of殉情者 wander, glaciers their petrified wedding veils, the 13 peaks 13 skeletal harps that play “White Sand Melody” when wind stirs.
Shepherds once glimpsed “Mist-Silver Maidens” drifting above snowlines: incarnations of Ming-era Mu family princesses executed for hiding mountain maps. Their冤魂’s silver bracelets sank into Blue Moon Valley, staining streams cobalt. On moonlit nights, these rise to form constellations of殉情者.
In 2019, as glaciers retreated, rangers unearthed Dongba scriptures from ice crevasses. The texts dissolved upon touch, leaving only a blood-sand mantra: “True snow isn’t water—it’s unspoken vows.” Today, beneath Yak Meadow’s irises, ice-crystal Nakhi hieroglyphs can still be dug up—lick them, they say, to taste six-century-old snow.
—Mirrors Forbidden Here
The mountain devours reflections: cameras weep azure tears at Fan Peak; lovers locking eyes at Ganhaizi see each other’s skeletal past lives. The only safe record is rubbings of snow patterns on Dongba paper, but one must swear with rhododendron sap to never reveal them.
Note: Interweaving Nakhi Dongba scriptures’ “Third Kingdom” lore, Mu clan secrets, and modern glacial crisis, this myth recasts “snow” as both memory and vanishing act—a sacred mountain’s poetics of ache.
