Sacred stream fish eyes

Rumors about a fish streams are both sacred than " magic fish streams " found in Cam Thuy has inspired us to overcome nearly 200km by road to Ho Chi Minh trail to Van Nho , Ba Ruler ( Thanh Hoa ) . According to the National Highway 217 , through CPC Van Nho about 7km , we have to be the " penalty area " of the cave " magic fish " . Tell the penalty area , because the terrain here is quite troubled , out of concrete roads were , the most common exit paths are muddy , barren .

From the big fish hang just go into almost a kilometer long , but the road is too narrow so we had to send the car to walk . Hang magic fish at the foot of a mountain limestone , above, wild luxuriant vegetation , tranquil . Below , an underground stream that flows from the mountains , the people built dams to collect water to irrigate fields and this is also the individual streams of Van Nho .

Fortunately, the trip that day , we met Mr. Ha Van Body , Muong ethnic , rural living at Ban Chiang . He also was appointed custodian fish streams and the altar on Mt . Seeing that we seem to wonder , when looking into the water , his body as understand . "You want to see the fish , this must be done this " , said then he patted her hands and sprinkle a little flour into the water , like corn bran . Suddenly , a big fish , back to black workers , surrounded the water before our stunned .

From the cave , large shoals of small fish swimming together to connect , before the slight noises coming from the old man's hands . Wonder , we had water and patted her face , instantly , every time the fish fin to a shareholder . Among them , there are many fish with large , easy to weigh about ten pounds. " Where 's nothing , today it rained , water filled the shore , I caught a fish weighing up to 12kg the other stranded " - says his body .

According to his body , this fish has a long , from a child, he was listening to his grandfather and his father told since childhood that saw more fish here are so ... Mr Body said that the fish do not normally hang out as streams or fish in Cam Thuy district ; fish in Morocco is mainly fish , but also other kinds of less than ...

According to his body , many people believe that fish stream fish streams Van Nho is Tuesday at Thanh Hoa and newly discovered , however , he said that Van Nho stream fish were discovered much earlier , even before the other two individual streams .

" Unfortunately, the text does not record the occurrence of this fish streams , but otherwise it was recorded a long time ago " - he regrets Body accent . Then , as if to clarify what has just said , he led us to the body he Luc Van Drain , people in communal Design - veterans participated in two wars against the French and Americans , know very well about fish streams .

According Relieved , he himself had witnessed the source of stream fish . " This is an underground stream flowing through the mountain , starting from 8 in the 217 kilometers of the Chiang Ban " - he said Drain . Ban Chieng stream fish appeared to be two streams of fish in Cam Thuy , and still echoes to some countries in the region . Behind the mountains there is a cave of about 50m2 with high ceilings cave where the fish are concentrated with the largest number . Normally fish in it all, only to have to drop the food into several new dam fish . "If you want to dive into the cave through an underground cave about 25 meters long , the fish are encountered , then that by itself quietly , do not do anything " - he said Drain .

Previous reports that some fish in streams like fish in two fish streams in Cam Thuy , whether this individual streams to each other ?

The thrills of the most sacred cave fish of Thanh

Back to the journey of the individual streams , after a round nipper springs area , we have along a path halfway up the mountain . Seeing strange because no one on the mountain , but it is a church with statues am that merry still faintly smoky flavor , we reasoned that his Body , the Church is evidenced am for the sacred fish in streams .

According to his body , when the French colonial troops near streams and fish , do not know the reason that they are not fishing in stream fish , opposite the altar is set up in a cave located above the stream fish approximately 10m to worship them .

This time , he is in two areas and Ha Ha Van Nho is the leader of the Can Vuong movement , these two local military leader against the French and France were arrested , beheaded at the church " magic fish " .

After the success of the revolution , people do not break the house and get a place of worship where two local leaders the French had been killed , along with the fish god . Every day people take turns carrying the streams for fish food . According to Chairman Van Nho Pham Minh Xuan Commune , Van names the Grapes was taken from the name of one of the local chiefs who fell .

According to some older engines in Van Nho , it also handed down a legend well known. It is the legend of the Naga weaving girls do get married , though nuanced tale lore , but in his Body , the people inside and outside the region are very revered . In the rainy season , the flood waters have flooded in over the dam , but the fish is still strange not out of the dam . Around the spring fish tale is still difficult to explain , it is interwoven into the story with real history . " The fish here are things that happened or not . There have been cases of people fishing here has brought about such good food finds , in some cases , the insane , in some cases , the loss of life , this is the strange coincidence is not clear , make a sacred , the mysterious ... " - Mr Body said with a straight face .

Previously , while the French , the name of greed right , by eating fish in this cave then killed carpet . Around 1982 , with the name of the tower from Cam Thuy , across streams when fish were hitting mines to catch fish for food here is hit by lightning ... From there , many people see it as God showed respect for individuals . However, there are still cases of inadvertent or people do not know , should still fishing in streams . As a result, the outcome must be accepted or not .

Mr Body said , the rumors could unfounded , but it has helped to preserve the fish , creating attraction of Ban Chiang fish streams , creating a pristine tourist destination , ideal for future future . Chairman Van Nho Pham Minh Xuan Commune confirmed , ongoing social survey and will soon have a written request for authority to construct " magic fish streams " Ban Chiang is a regional tourist destination .
