The mountains in the south of Yunnan teemed with precious stones.
Since the mountains were high and steep. People could not climb up directly. In order to get the precious stones, the native people kept shooting at the monkeys, which were at the top of the mountains, with catapult.
Having been enraged, the monkeys, who were irascible and vengeful, threw stones at the foot of the mountain in groups. The stones thrown down were different in size, which people took home. After they threw off the common stones, what remained were the superior precious stones.
寶石盛產(chǎn)于云南南部的群山之中.
由于山高坡陡,人無法直接爬上去,為了獲取寶石,當(dāng)?shù)厝擞脧椆煌5某巾斏系脑澈锷鋼簟?/p>
脾氣暴躁,呲睚必報(bào)的猿猴被激怒后,成群結(jié)隊(duì)的朝山下扔石頭。擲下的石頭大小不一,人們撿回家后,去掉其中的頑石,剩下的便是上好的寶石。
