传说撒拉族族始率其部众,带着骆驼,驮着《古兰经》跋山涉水,辗转至青海循化地区。因途中走失了一匹心爱的骆驼而四处寻找,最后在一个叫“街子”的地方发现了骆驼,可是它已化成了一尊白色的石头,安详地卧在一眼清泉旁。众人见周围土地肥沃便定居下来,该地便是今天的循化撒拉族自治县。有着这样的传说,撒拉族人对白色的石头特别崇拜,并传下了在房顶四角安放白石的习俗。
Legend has it that the Salar tribe started its ministry, carrying camels and laden with the Qur’an and moving to the Xunhua area of Qinghai. Lost a beloved camel on his way and look around, and finally found a camel in a place called “Street”, but it has turned into a white stone, lying quietly beside the clear spring. When all the people see the fertile land around them, they settle in today’s Xunhua Salar Autonomous County. With such a legend, the Salars paid special admiration for the white stones and handed down the custom of setting Whiteheads at the four corners of the roof.
