Description:Translation (Rita Seng Mai) This is about "Nat Jawng" in Nloi Yang. It is a Shan nat. The Shan people worship it. This is how it happened. Zau Sam Ta is the son of a Munggaw Shan chief who previously lived in Putao. Zau Sam Ta had three moles on his forehead. The middle mole was the largest of the three moles. Therefore, he looked like he had three eyes when people looked at him from a distance. That was why people believed he was powerful. The Shan and Burmese people said that he was as powerful as a nat spirit. He was said to be so powerful that he could even move mountains with his words. He was really brave. He was the youngest son of Munggaw Zau Hpa (chief). The eldest brother became Munggaw Zau Hpa, and the second brother became Lauhput Zau Hpa. The youngest son, Zau Sam Ta, was ordered by his father to look for land near Putao. He was the first chief to arrive in Putao and expand the territory of the Shan people. The Shan people trusted and believed in him. He took three Shan sub-ethnic groups with him when he went to Putao: the Lang Dau Shan, the Lang Nau Shan, and the Mamze Shan. At that time, Putao was invaded, and the people living there were mostly abused by Tibetan soldiers, so he killed many of them. There was only one path by which the Tibetan soldiers could come to Putao. That path could be seen on a clear day. From Putao, Hpung Gat Mountain could be seen. At the foot of the mountain, there was a mountain pass. Zau Sam Ta thought of blocking the way with rocks. He used his power and commanded the mountain to fall. Then the rocks blocked the way. Since then, the Tibetan soldiers couldn't come to Putao anymore. There was no other path for them to come here. The Tibetan soldiers always came to Putao when that path was still passable. But they didn't live here because they came from a cold region, and Putao was much hotter than their home, so they couldn't live here. They bullied and abused the people of Putao. They extorted money. They forced Putao town to become their subordinate territory. The Shan people who already lived in Putao at that time also became subordinate to the Tibetans. Chief Zau Sam Ta fought and took this place from the Tibetans. He then assigned seven chiefs from seven Shan sub-ethnic groups and returned to his place. When he arrived at his eldest brother's place, Munggaw, his eldest brother and sister-in-law said to each other, "He lived in Putao for a long time, but he is still very strong and healthy. He might challenge our throne one day." Then they plotted to assassinate him. However, he knew what they were planning. He thought to himself, "I'm going to die soon. My eldest brother and sister-in-law will definitely kill me one day." He knew his sister-in-law had poisoned his food to kill him. Thinking he might be killed soon, he fed his horse first, then ate the poisoned food. Then both he and his horse died. He later became a nat spirit. The Shan people made offerings to him, Zau Sam Ta Nat, in Nloi Yang. The Kachin people called him the Gindu nat spirit and offered sacrifices as well. The place where Gindu nat was worshipped was on a large rock in the middle of a river near Nloi Yang, and it looked like a cave. Because it was where the Kachin people made offerings to Gindu nat, it was called "Nat Jawng." In fact, it was a place where people worshipped nat. Some people think it is a school, so it is named "Nat Jawng." (Jawng means school.) Many people visit that place.
