Sigangli is an ancient legend passed down among the Wa people. "Sigang" means cliff cave, and "li" means to come out. Sigangli refers to emerging from a rocky cave. The specific geographical location is near Bangaidai in Myanmar, across the Nanxi River in Yuensong Township, Menglian County. The general outline of the Sigangli historical legend is that in ancient times, humans were trapped inside a sealed mountain cliff cave and could not get out. The omnipotent deity Mowei sent a little bird to peck open the cave.
A mouse lured away the tiger that guarded the cave entrance and bit people, while a spider outwitted the large tree that prevented people from exiting the cave. Thus, humans were able to emerge from the cave and settle down to live and thrive in various places. This is the general meaning of Sigangli.
