蜜蜂的起源與蜂蜜確切飲用時(shí)間，至今仍是一個(gè)懸而未決的問(wèn)題。公園前2000-3000年，《圣經(jīng)》多次提到蜂蜜，“讓每一陣風(fēng)都吹來(lái)蜂蜜，讓黎明和黑夜都充滿蜂蜜，讓所有黑暗的東西都被蜂蜜覆蓋”。當(dāng)蜂蜜與人類的健康成為真正的密切伴侶，君慕云鳳齋的蜂蜜開始揭序——

很早以前，一個(gè)無(wú)惡不作的魔王霸占了美麗富饒的西雙版納，并搶來(lái)七位美麗的姑娘做他的妻子。姑娘們滿懷仇恨，合計(jì)著如何殺死魔王。

Long ago there lived an evil Demon King, who took by force the beautiful and prosperous Xishuangbanna and forced seven pretty maidens to be his wives. The young wives however hated their husband and plotted to kill him.

一天夜里，年紀(jì)最小的姑娘儂香用最好的酒肉，把魔王灌得酩酊大醉，使他吐露自己致命的弱點(diǎn)。原來(lái)這個(gè)天不怕，地不怕的魔王，就怕用他的頭發(fā)勒住自己的脖子.

One night the youngest of the Demon King''s wives, whose name was Nongxiang, entertained the Demon King with the best food and finest wine. He ate and drank, and while he was eating and drinking, he didn''t notice how the excellent wine went to his head and he became drunk, whereupon he told his one fatal weakness. The Demon King, who feared nothing, could be defeated if he were strangled with his own hair.

機(jī)警的小姑娘小心翼翼地拔下魔王一根紅頭發(fā)，勒住他的脖子。果然，魔王的頭就掉了下來(lái)，變成一團(tuán)火球，滾到哪里，邪火就蔓延到哪里。竹樓被燒毀，莊稼被燒焦。

The girl, while being watchful and vigilant, carefully pulled out one red hair from the King''s head. She quickly wrapped it around his neck and tightened it, strangling him. Suddenly, the Demon King''s head fell from his neck and became a fireball, burning with an evil fire. The fireball kept rolling, the fire destroying everything it touched – the bamboo buildings were razed to the ground and the crops were burnt to nothing.

為了撲滅邪火，小姑娘揪住了魔王的頭，其他六位姑娘輪流不停地向上面潑水，終于在傣歷的六月把邪火撲滅了。鄉(xiāng)親們開始了安居樂(lè)業(yè)的生活。從此，便有了逢年潑水的習(xí)俗�，F(xiàn)在，潑水的習(xí)俗實(shí)際上已成為人們相互祝福的一種形式。

Desperate to extinguish the terrible fire, Nongxiang seized the head and poured water onto it; she and the other six girls took it in turns to do this and the fire was finally extinguished in June in the Dai calendar.

Freed from the tyranny of the Demon King, the local people began to live happy, peaceful lives, but continued to keep the custom of sprinkling water every year. Nowadays, this water-sprinkling custom has become a ceremony to send blessings to others.

然而千百年來(lái)，人們一直疑惑“天上一天，地上一年”，那七位善良美貌的姑娘，一動(dòng)不動(dòng)抱著頭顱如何度過(guò)一年又一年?人類為什么把蜜蜂和蜂巢畫在自己居住的山洞和廟宇的墻上，寫進(jìn)草紙的卷軸里，用詩(shī)和藝術(shù)贊揚(yáng)小蜜蜂，甚至視其為一種神靈，對(duì)它頂禮膜拜?

It is said that “a day in heaven is a year in the world of the living”. For thousands of years, people have wondered how those kind, beautiful, girls could have endured spending year after year holding the head of the Demon King. But there is another mystery. The local people used to draw bees and beehives on the walls of the temples or the caves they lived in, or on scrolls of paper; songs have sung high praise for bees in artistic forms, and bees have even been worshipped as deities.

原來(lái)，這七位美貌的姑娘不僅僅善良美麗，而且極其聰慧。當(dāng)其中一人抱著頭顱，另外的六位姑娘便采集千百種花朵，巧手編制成美麗的花環(huán)，千百種非凡之花日夜輪回盛開，與無(wú)以計(jì)數(shù)的繁星璀璨耀目輝映。從而引來(lái)了無(wú)數(shù)的蜜蜂采蜜，抱頭顱的姑娘便得以飲食這瓊漿玉液，從而保證了人間的安居樂(lè)業(yè)。這樣安順的度過(guò)幾百年，有一天突然雷電如火，天庭里云霧繚繞，不時(shí)閃耀變幻出神秘莫測(cè)的彩色光芒，原來(lái)是在云中休憩的鳳凰知曉了此事，為感念這七位善良姑娘的心地，特意引來(lái)百鳥為這七位姑娘獻(xiàn)唱。于是百鳥朝鳳，花好月圓，人間安樂(lè)。據(jù)說(shuō)，那一天觀到此天景的人們?cè)��?jīng)聞過(guò)沁人的花香，從而學(xué)會(huì)了編織美麗的花環(huán)，當(dāng)他們驚呼云鳳云鳳之時(shí)，亦徒手接到過(guò)帶著蜂巢的蜂蜜，從而學(xué)會(huì)了釀制蜂蜜。

It turns out that the seven wives of the Demon King were not only beautiful but clever. While one of them was holding the head, the other six collected flowers and make garlands. Bees were attracted to the flowers and the girl who was holding the head at the time was given nectar provided by the bees.

With the death of the Demon King, the local people could finally live in peace again, and continued to do so for hundreds of years. But one day there was a great storm; lightning flashed and thunder rolled. The heavens were shrouded with mist and then, suddenly, with colourful rays of light; the Phoenix high up in the clouds had learned of the good deed done by the seven girls. To honour the goodness of the girls, had invited a hundred birds to sing for them; all the birds came. This all happened while the flowers were in full bloom and when the moon waxed full; the world was full of perfect happiness.

The people who saw the events of that day also smelled the scent of the flowers and learned how to make garlands to attract bees. Thus the people did not only see the magnificent Phoenix, but also tasted the sweet honey, and since then they started keeping their own beehives.

云鳳齋由此在世間傳播開來(lái)，因?yàn)槊恳豢朔涿厶N(yùn)含著幾十只蜜蜂辛勤耕耘無(wú)私付出，飲食后讓人身心清凈溫暖，充滿能量，從而成為蜂蜜中的翹楚。云鳳齋祝福朋友們：健康萬(wàn)福，吉祥如意，美滿幸福。

The honey from Phoenix House stands out because it refreshes both body and mind, supplying warmth with its positive energy. Phoenix House wishes all our friends a healthy, lucky and content life.
