The legend of Songkran

Once upon a time, there was a vicious demon king, who had magic in his body, and could not float away when he fell into the water, nor could he burn if he fell into the water, nor could he slash with a knife, nor could he penetrate with a spear, nor could he shoot with a bow or arrow. He is arrogant and arrogant, domineering all day long, and doing evil. At that time, there were sixteen layers of heaven, and he became the overlord of one of them. He oppressed and plundered the people, and did all kinds of evil. He already had six beautiful wives, but if any of them had beautiful daughters, he would take them as wives. Once, he saw a princess in the world named Dou Zongbu, who was more beautiful than all his six wives, so he snatched her again and made her his seventh wife.

In June of one year, it was the day of the New Year in the world, and the demon king celebrated the New Year with the dumpling cloth, and invited the demon ministers and demon generals to drink and have fun in the palace. After three rounds of drinking, the guests and hosts were already drunk. Xuan Zongbu took the opportunity to praise the demon king: "My noble king, your magic power is boundless, your virtue is noble, with your prestige, you can conquer heaven, hell, and the world, you should be the master of the Three Realms." The Demon King was proud when he heard this, pondered for a while, turned his face to his beloved wife and said, "I can indeed conquer the Three Realms, and no one knows my weaknesses. The king then asked, "The king has such magical powers, how can he have weaknesses?" The Demon King replied in a low voice, "I'm afraid that someone will pull out my hair and strangle my neck, which will make me a family, and you will have to watch it often." Qian Zongbu pretended to be surprised and asked: "The king who can conquer the Three Realms, how can he be afraid of hair?" The demon king whispered again, "Although the hair is small, my hair will break my neck, and I will not live." ”
　　
After listening to it, Zongbu secretly made up his mind. So, she continued to work for

The demon king poured wine until the banquet was over, and she helped the demon king to bed again. At this time, she carefully plucked one of the Demon King's hair, and before the Demon King woke up, she strangled the Demon King's neck. The Demon King's head immediately fell to the ground, and every drop of blood dripping from his head turned into a fire, burning fiercely, and quickly spreading to the world. At this time, the dumpling cloth hurriedly picked up the head of the demon king, and the flames on the earth were extinguished, but as soon as the head was put down, the fire burned again. So, the six king's wives also came, and they took turns holding the head of the demon king, so that the fire would no longer burn.
　　
Later, the dumpling cloth replied to the world, but she was still covered in blood, and people poured water on her in order to wash away the blood stains on her body. The blood stains were finally washed away, and the rice dumplings lived happily in the world. After the death of the dumpling, in order to commemorate her, people splash water on each other every year during the New Year, wash off the dirt on their bodies with clean water, and usher in an auspicious New Year.
