[Gaoping Foothills] Qingye Village - Princess Baleh Casual Mid-Length Socks

◆ The Story Behind the Creation ◆ /Descendants of the legendary Princess Baleh, who live in Qingye Village today./ Beautiful Baleh, born into a chieftain's family, possessed skillful hands for weaving. Baleh often watched, as the sun began to set, women returning home with bamboo baskets on their heads, singing songs. Baleh learned their melodies, the echoes filling the misty mountain valleys. One day, Baleh wished to venture up the mountain with the women but became lost in the woods. Suddenly, the sound of a nose flute drifted from afar. Baleh discovered a handsome young man who said, "I am a youth of the snake clan. Because our ancestors broke a taboo, we are cursed and banished to become the snake clan. If you can see my true form, you shall be my wife." Afterward, Baleh frequently visited the mountain to meet the snake youth, their songs enchanting even the birds and making the orchids smile. One day, a group of people arrived at Baleh's door, singing songs of proposal. The handsome youth's family, to Baleh's family, appeared as nothing more than numerous Taiwanese pit vipers. Because Baleh was destined to marry the snake clan, Baleh's parents were heartbroken. Baleh, with deep reluctance, wept in their mother's embrace. The day of the wedding arrived. The snake clan arrived in a grand procession at their doorstep. The elder sang the wedding chant, and all the betrothal gifts were presented. Baleh's family meticulously received each gift. With tears streaming down her face, the mother adorned Baleh like a celestial being, so beautiful. Her sisters and childhood friends gathered to see her off. Her younger sister washed her feet, her elder sister adorned her hair with lilies, and her mother hung the family's heirloom glass beads. Her father loudly admonished, "Remember, our family has always been upright and sincere. Do not disgrace our ancestral teachings..." The father then placed Baleh's hand into the snake youth's. As dusk settled, gradually enveloping the land, Baleh's family escorted Baleh to the edge of the Ghost Lake deep in the mountains. Baleh bid farewell to her parents, "Dearest Father and Mother, I will protect this place. If you come here to hunt, you will surely find game. But if the game is cold, please do not take it home..." Baleh walked into the lake with the snake youth. Days later, lilies bloomed along the lake's shore. To this day, the Rukai people still love to adorn their hair with a lily, commemorating the unforgettable Baleh in their hearts. ◆ Material ◆ Contains Lycra elastic fiber for excellent elasticity.
