Myths and legends related to Xinjiang
1. Jade circulating among Uighurs in Xinjiang is the embodiment of a beautiful and kind girl. According to legend, in ancient times, an old stonemason with unparalleled skills took an apprentice by the Jade River in heaven. On his 60th birthday, Yu found a large piece of suet jade, which was carefully carved into a very beautiful jade beauty.

The old mason couldn't help saying, "I wish I had such a daughter!" " Sure enough, Yumeiren became a lively and lovely girl, worshiping the old stonemason as her father and named Tashi Guli. Soon the old stonemason died and Tashguli fell in love with the little stonemason. However, a local bully took Tashguri away while the mason was away and tried to force her to get married.

Tashguri refused and the bully cut her with a knife. She sent out dazzling sparks, lit the bully's mansion, turned into a wisp of white smoke, and flew to her hometown Kunlun Mountain. When the masons learned this, they rode behind him and scattered pebbles along the road, which became a mine seedling for future generations to find jade.

Uighurs have always admired jade and loved it. As the saying goes, "It is better to be white jade on the mountain than to carpet the Bayi (landlord) Hall."

She collected pomegranate flowers, Elaeagnus angustifolia flowers and henna, dyed colorful silk threads with flower liquid, and carefully spun colorful silk.

After several days and nights of hard weaving, colorful silk brocade has been made, with bold and unrestrained patterns and gorgeous colors. A gust of wind blew, and the colored silk drifted away with the wind. The girl chased the river and was surprised to see that the reflection of colored silk in the water was more beautiful.

Herman thought day and night, bent on weaving that beautiful pattern. Hailmann tie-dyed warp yarns according to water patterns, then knitted weft yarns of different colors, and finally woven colorful water pattern colored silk.

The girl sent colored silk to the tailor's aunt to process clothes. Ayi first took a fancy to colored silk. That night, Ayi first took colored silk privately and ran to Kashgar. At the Maixilaifu party on Eid al-Adha, people sang and danced, and A Yi's colorful dresses attracted everyone's envy.

A young man named Yousufu asked his aunt to dance first and asked her where she bought that colorful skirt. Aunt first lied that she knitted it herself. Yusuf thinks she is unique and intends to propose to her.

Hailmann was alone at home, crying over the loss of colored silk. Herman is going to weave another silk of the same color. She rushed to Kashgar to buy silk thread. She happened to meet Ayixian and recognized the colorful silk skirt. They quarreled.

Yusuf couldn't tell who knitted the colored silk, so he had to let them knit it again. Herman soon knitted a piece of silk of the same color. Ah Yi had to go first in despondency.

Yusuf married a clever girl, Harriman. Hailmann passed on the craft to everyone, and named this colorful silk "Adiles" silk.

Since then, the weaving technology of Adilai silk has spread to this day. Uygur women's favorite dress is "Adilaisi" skirt. Now, almost every Uighur woman has an Adelai silk skirt.
