The Legend of Liu Yi

Khmer Maidens - Volume 1

Historically, there was Poundsom Port (Westport-Yundam), then Siem Reap (Ancient City of Angkor), and then Phnom Penh City (Palace New City). Poundsun Port (West Port) existed more than 5,000 years ago. At that time, the most famous area was called "Yundang". In the "Yundang" tribe, cities such as Siem Reap and Phnom Penh did not exist at that time, and people were in the stage of primitive life.


The ancestors of the Yun Rang Tribe drifted from the Malaysian archipelago in the South Pacific. In order to avoid typhoons and tsunamis, they temporarily lived here, had children, and enjoyed the blessings of nature. Avoiding the cold, no typhoons, tsunamis, and earthquakes, and living a happy life. Later, the queen of this family had many children. Among them was a young daughter named Liu Yi, who was born beautiful, intelligent, kind, and good at singing and dancing. She was very popular with everyone. She is very smart and can often solve problems for everyone, caring for the elderly and children in the tribe. Everyone calls her Princess Liu Yi, and later she became the young leader of the tribe. At this time, there was also a kingdom (Xihai Kingdom) in the Indian Sea area (now called the Indian Ocean). The king had a son named Kundu, who was resolute, brave, creative, and dared to expand the territory.


Once, he led his brothers to sail towards the place where the sun rose, crossed the Tanintharyi Mountains, and the Grand Canyon of Kratie, and finally arrived and found a quiet sea area, where there are no storms, typhoons, and tsunamis. He named it the Gulf of Siam because it passed through the Siamese (Thailand). On the north side of the Gulf of Siam, they found a small green island. They rested on this small island, and Prince Kunttan named this small island Prince Island. They looked at the open, fertile, and rich virgin rainforest in front of them on Prince Island. Prince Kundan thought this is an excellent place to build the capital. Afterward, Prince Kundan organized his troops, came down from Prince Island, and led his men to go upstream along a river surrounded by mangroves called Liuyexi by the locals, passing through a large area of ​​birch aquatic forest (called by the locals) "Thousand white layers") covered wetlands crossed Shuanglong Mountain, and crossed the Yinsha River. They fought a fierce battle with the Yunyang tribe near the Yinshan Mountain. The King of the Sea of ​​India also helped his son in the battle. He came here to overwhelm the river and flood the city and finally forced the Yunran tribe to retreat to the top of the surrounding ocean. Princess Liu Yi, the leader of the Yunyang tribe, led the tribe to continue to fight bravely with the Kuntian troops.






The Legend of Liu Yi

Khmer Maidens - Volume 2

Prince Kuntian found the heroic and beautiful Princess Liuyi during the battle and fell in love with her at first sight, so he couldn't bear to use the tactics of massacring the city to wipe out the Yunran tribe. He stopped declaring war, released the wounded, and ordered his men to wait at the foot of the mountain. Whenever the silver moon hangs high in the evening, Prince Kundu misses Princess Liu Yi on the mountain and sings love songs to the princess on the mountain. The young and beautiful princess is also moved by the prince's bravery and integrity. I can't help but show love to the prince every night. I hope that the two tribes will no longer have wars and deaths, and hope to get along with each other in friendship. Therefore, after a period of communication, the two young people who were reconciled by war gathered together, and love conquered everything. Happiness dispelled the curse, soldiers from both sides cheered for peace and laughed for happiness. The Indian prince and Princess Yunran had intimate intercourse on the acacia platform of Linjiafeng. Seeing this scene, the King of the Sea of ​​India was also happy for his son. In order to bless the love of the two young people, he sucked up the sea water here, exposing the fertile soil. With Yunran Mountain as the center, there are hundreds of square kilometers of land around Since then, it has become an oasis, and Neptune gave this piece of soil to the happy young people as a wedding gift, wishing them to live happily here forever.


After thousands of years of living and multiplying from generation to generation, the descendants of Prince Kuntian and Princess Liu Yi began to grow stronger and continued to expand their territories, looking for more suitable territories for survival. They went all the way north, invincible, until they went deep into a place called Siem Reap, and found hundreds of square kilometers of freshwater sea area (Tonle Sap Lake), a piece of land with sweet coconut milk, full of fish and shrimp, and the edge can't be seen at a glance. Freshwater sea, later they discovered that this is not a sea, but a huge lake, and named it Tonle Sap Lake. They began to choose to settle on the north bank of the lake, breed offspring, reclaim farmland, build water conservancy, and build farmland. The tribe built huge palaces and dynasties with stones on the north shore of Tonle Sap Lake and bred a wise and friendly Khmer nation with a population of hundreds of thousands. This Khmer nation absorbed Indian Buddhism as the state religion and derived Khmer Man's own Theravada Buddhist culture. Since then, people have lived happily here.


After the eleventh century, a brilliant leader appeared in the country, Javarman VII. He was a very wise young king. After he defeated the Champa people (Vietnam), he organized his people to build palaces, Rectified the capital, dredged the river, established transportation, stabilized the territory, reorganized the tenants, popularized medical care, reformed the religion, and drastically rebuilt the city, becoming the most prosperous country in the entire southeastern peninsula, the golden dynasty, and named Angkor. Angkor Thom became the richest dynasty in Southeast Asia at that time, and the surrounding tribes and ethnic groups called it the Funan Dynasty. Later, due to war and plague, a prosperous dynasty quickly declined. In order to avoid bloodshed and plague, people had to abandon the ancient city of Angkor and move their capital to Phnom Penh along the Mekong River, which is today's capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh.
