The shepherdess wore a fat apron with a long skirt hanging around her ankles. In the front pocket of the apron was a small whip for driving the sheep. The shepherdess wears braids, sometimes with a few freshly picked wild flowers. The black sheepdog ran around on the grass, and the white sheep lowered their heads and ate the grass, bleating. The shepherd girl likes her sheep, they are her simple joy. The shepherd girl likes her sheepdog, which protects her and her sheep. The shepherd girl also likes the white clouds in the distant sky, which are as white as her own. Sheep, so erratic, so gentle. The shepherdess looked at her sheep every day.

The shepherdess looked at him curiously. Apart from her sheep, this was the first time she had observed anyone or something so carefully. She invited the prince to accompany her to shepherd sheep, play on the grass together, and watch the white clouds in the sky. The prince would sit on the stone, playing his organ and singing, and she would sit barefoot and hugging her knees at his feet, listening, and then get drunk little by little. They chased the sheep together and watched them flee, then they laughed and lay on the grass, looking up at the blue sky; they played together by the stream, splashing water on each other, and the sun shone on the splashing water. It was so gorgeous that it made people dizzy; they watched the stars at night together back to back, held hands in the rain together, and lived happily every day.

Who knows the story of this girl?
Chinese is "Ashima" (also a cigarette brand)
"Ashima" is a long narrative poem popular among the Sani people, a branch of the Yi ethnic group in Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province. It uses oral poetry to tell or sing the story of Ashima's unrelenting fight against powerful forces. The story of struggle reveals the human ideal that light will eventually replace darkness, goodness will eventually replace ugliness, and freedom will replace oppression and confinement. It reflects the national character and spirit of the Sani people of the Yi ethnic group who are "unable to bend."
Once upon a time, there was a place called Azodi. The poor Geluzhiming family gave birth to a beautiful girl. My parents wanted their daughter to shine like gold, so they named her Ashima. Gradually she grew up, like a gorgeous beauty flower. Ashima "wears an embroidered bun on her head, a lovely girl, and a shiny embroidered apron. The young man is dazzled by her ability to sing." She is good at dancing, and her clear and loud singing voice often attracts young people to the public house. She is good at embroidery and weaving, and she is as fragrant as dianthus flowers around the young man. During this year's Torch Festival, Ashima confided in Ah Hei. Sincere love, I vowed not to marry anyone else.
Ahei was a brave and intelligent young man from Sani. When he was 12 years old, his parents were abused by the chieftain and died one after another. Bubala was arrested and sent to serve as a labor force. One day, he went up the mountain to pick fresh fruits for his master and got lost. He was frozen and hungry in the jungle. He was so frightened that he did not dare to go back because he was afraid of being scolded by his master.
At this moment, he met Ashima, a little girl herding sheep. She took Ahai home, and Ahai was adopted as an adopted son by Ashima's father and mother. From then on, Ah Hei and Ashima, childhood sweethearts, fell in love with each other. Gradually, Ah Hei grew up into a young man. His character was like a green pine on the mountain - too broken to bend, and he became a role model for the young Sani boys around him. People sang and praised him:
The trees in Guishan are tall and green,
Ahei, the young man from Sani, is the best,
The tall green pines are not afraid of the cold,
>The brave Ah Hei has eaten tiger gall.
Ah Hei is very hardworking and good at growing crops. He cleared up wasteland and planted corn on the gravel land. The corn grew more prosperously than others, and the ears of corn grew longer than others. He went up the mountain to chop wood and cut more firewood than other boys. He loved riding bareback horses since he was a child. The horses he trained were as strong as flying when ridden. He draws his bow and shoots arrows with perfect accuracy. His adoptive father, Gelu Riming, passed on the magic arrow to him, making him even more powerful. Ah Hei likes to sing, and his singing voice is very loud. He likes to play the flute and the three-stringed string. The flute he plays is particularly melodious and the strings he plays are particularly beautiful. I don’t know how many girls he has attracted. During this year's Torch Festival, after Ashima and Ah Hei confided their love for each other, the sworn siblings got engaged.
One day on the street, Ashima went to go shopping, and was spotted by Azhi, the son of the rich man Rebubala of Azuodi, who wanted to marry Ashima as his wife. He went home and begged his father, Rebubala, to ask a matchmaker to marry him. Rebubala had long heard of Ashima's reputation. He immediately agreed to his son's request, invited the powerful matchmaker Haire, and immediately went to Ashima's house to propose marriage. Haire arrived at Ashima's house and used his snake-like tongue to praise how great and rich Rebubala's family was, and how Ashima enjoyed happiness after marrying... After hearing this, Ashima said: " Rebubala's family is not a good family. Even if they plant flowers to attract bees, the bees will not pay attention to him. Clear water will not tread with muddy water, and sheep cannot accompany jackals. "Ashima's answer annoyed Haire. He threatened: "Rebubala's family is a rich and powerful family in Azhadi. If Rebubala stomps his foot twice, the mountain of Azhadi will shake three times. If Ashima doesn't marry her, be careful." Lost her home. "No matter how Haire threatened or lured her, Ashima would not marry.
In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived. The water in A'zhao is cold and the grass is dry. The sheep are not full to eat. A-Hei has to drive the sheep to the hot places in southern Yunnan far away for grazing. Before leaving, Ah Hei said goodbye to Ashima. They encouraged each other and told each other reluctantly to leave. After Ah Hei left, Rebu Bala became evil-minded and sent thugs and servants to snatch Ashima away like wolves and tigers. I want Ashima to kowtow, eat wine, have guests, cook raw rice for cooked meals, and get married even if she doesn't want to get married. Ashima was loyal to her love with Ah Zhi. After she was robbed to Rebu Bala's house, she never obeyed and refused to marry A Zhi in the face of the coercion and inducement of Rebu Bala and his wife. The rich man held out the gold and silver treasures, pointed to the barn, cattle and sheep, and said to Ashima: "As long as you obey Azhi, these will all be yours." Ashima didn't even look at them, and said contemptuously: "These are mine." It's not a surprise, I just won't marry into your family." With a stern face like a monkey, Azhi blinked his eyes and cursed viciously: "If you don't agree to marry me, I will kick your family out of Azhudi!" Ashima said without fear: "Big words can't scare people, A'zhaodi doesn't belong to your family." Seeing that Ashima refused to obey, Rebubala became angry and ordered his servants to beat him severely with a whip. Ashima, beat her black and blue. Rebubala's wife cursed Ashima, saying she was "born with a mean life, and she will not enjoy it if she is lucky." Ashima was imprisoned in a dark prison, but she firmly believed that as long as Ahei knew that she was imprisoned in Rebubala's house, he would definitely come to rescue her.
One day, Ahei was shepherding sheep, and the messenger from Azhudi found him and reported to him the news that Ashima had been robbed. After hearing the news, Ah Hei was very worried about Ashima's safety. He immediately jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, traveling day and night, across mountain streams and dangerous cliffs, and rushed home from afar to rescue Ashima. He came to the door of Rebu Bala's house. Ah Zhi closed the iron door tightly and refused to enter. He proposed to sing a duet with Ah Hei, and he would only be allowed in if he won the song. Ah Zhi sat on the gate tower and Ah Hei sat under the fruit tree. They sang antiphonally for three days and three nights.
·A Zhi lacks talent and wisdom, and the more he sings, the more he has no words. His face turns red and his neck becomes thick with anxiety, and his voice becomes like a lame clam, which becomes more and more unpleasant to listen to. However, Ah Hei, who is talented and intelligent, sings better and better. Be energetic, smile on your face, and sing loudly. Ah Hei finally won, and A Zhi had no choice but to let him in. But Ah Zhi also made all kinds of difficulties, asking Ah Sai to cut down trees, graft trees, and sow seeds. Ah Zhi was not as skilled as Ah Hei in these tasks, Ah Zhi was better than Ah Zhi in every aspect. Seeing that Rebubala couldn't help Ah Hei, he came up with a vicious plan and pretended to say with a smile: "It's getting late, you should have a good sleep first, and I'll send you and Ashima away tomorrow." !" Ah Hei agreed to stay and was arranged to sleep in a house without a door. In the middle of the night, Rebu Bala ordered his servants to release three tigers in an attempt to harm Ah Hei. Ah Hei had already been prepared. When the tiger opened its mouth and rushed towards him, he took out his bow and arrow, pointed it at the tiger, "Li Li Xiu". He shot three arrows in a row and killed the tiger. The next day, Rebu Bala The father and son were surprised to see the tiger die. They had no choice but to agree to release Ashima. But when Ah Hei walked out of the door and waited, Rebubala immediately closed the door and broke his promise and refused to release Ashima. /p>
Ah Hei couldn't bear it anymore, he immediately raised his bow and shot three arrows in succession. The first arrow hit the door, and the door was shot open immediately; the second arrow hit the pillar of the main room, and the house shook with a buzzing sound. The third arrow hit the altar table, shaking it. Rebubala was frightened and quickly ordered the servants to pull out the arrow. However, the arrow seemed to have roots and no one could pull it out. He had no choice but to ask someone to open the dark cell door, release Ashima, and plead with her: "As long as you pull out the arrow, I will let you go home immediately." "Ashima glanced at Rebu Bala with disdain, stepped forward, gently pulled out the arrow like picking flowers, and then left Rebu Bala's house with Ah Hei.
Rebu Bala and his son watched A Hei take away Ashima, feeling very unconvinced, but they did not dare to stop him. The vicious Rebu Bala and his son refused to give up, and came up with a cruel plan. Knowing that Ah Hei and Ashima would pass by the foot of Twelve Cliffs when they returned home, they colluded with the cliff god to turn the small river at the foot of the cliff into a big river and drown Ah Hei and Ashima with them. The servants, before Ah Hei and Ashima crossed the river, took advantage of the flash flood to open up the rocks in the upper reaches of the river. Just as Ah Hei and Ashima were crossing the river, the flood rolled in and Ashima was swept into the whirlpool. Ah Hei only heard Ashima shouting "Brother Ah Hei, come and save me", but he never saw her voice or trace of her again.
Ashima disappeared. Ah Hei struggled to get ashore, looking for Ashima everywhere, until the sky cleared, and the river turned into a small river, but he couldn't find Ashima. He shouted loudly: "Ashima!" !Ashima!" However, I only heard the same voice replying from the top of the twelve cliffs: "Ashima! Ashima! Ashima!"
It turns out that on the top of the twelve cliffs, The girl Ying Shange saw Ashima being swept away by the flood; she jumped into the whirlpool, pushed away the flood, rescued Ashima, and lived together on Twelve Cliffs. The God of Cards (Echo God). From then on, she would answer whatever you called her.
Ah Hei lost Ashima, but he thought of her all the time. After making rice, he walked out with the rice bowl and shouted to Shiyazi: "Ashima! Ashima!" Ashima who was standing on Shiyazi responded: "Ashima! Ashima". /p>
When my father and mother went out to work, they shouted to Shiyazi: "How are you, Dad? How are you? Ashima!" Ashima, who was standing on the stone cliff, They responded in the same way: "How are you, Mom and Dad? Yeah! How are you?, Ashima!"
The friends stood under the stone cliff where Ashima was standing, facing Ashima on the stone cliff. Ma plays the three-stringed string instrument, plays the flute, and sings folk songs, and Ashima on the rock cliff will also sing folk songs in response to the sharp strings and the melodious sound of the flute.
Ashima’s voice will echo forever. In the stone forest, her figure has been turned into stone, and she will always be with her fellow villagers.

In 1697, Charles Perrault (Charles Perrault) published in Paris Perrault's "The Story of Mother Goose". For a long time, people have believed that the story "Cinderella" included in this collection of stories is the earliest record of such a story in Europe.
Of course, some earlier versions of the story have been found in Europe, but Perrault's "Cinderella" story was the one that had the greatest impact. Among the three variations, only Perrault's story contains the well-known "Cinderella" elements such as fairies, pumpkin carriages and glass slippers.
Origin of the name
Cendrillon is Cinderella's French name, but it is not actually the character's real name, but a nickname. The word Cendrillon is a compound of the two French words cendre and souillon.
The "cendre" that makes up the first part of Cendrillon means "ash" in French. It was named this because Cinderella lay on the charcoal ashes to rest after working and was always dirty. ; Souillon means "***", which is the contemptuous name given to Cinderella by the two sisters.
