While walking to see the day-Joy in Lijiang
"Preface"
It is at 21 o'clock on the December 13, 2001 or so.
I was eating dinner, in a called dadawa's Pub (dadawa in the Tibetan language is the meaning of the moon).
The contents of a dinner Yangzhou fried rice, a bowl of tomato soup, a Baba.
Baba is a snack, is the Yunnan Naxi a very common snacks.
From my dinner last one, it can be inferred reluctantly I am now in Lijiang conclusions.
Amin an hour ago, I received a phone call because yesterday was his birthday, I sent him a short message wishing him a happy birthday by the way tell him that I am now in the Lijiang ancient city, and he asked me Xinxin Ran the length and admonished Beware of my own to give him the same time do not forget to bring good bits - must be the cultural flavor of Lijiang. (Amin, when the University becomes very culture and taste, and now is the mainstay of academic, by the way congratulations to newly promoted Amin to become a major post-graduate).
- In fact, today, I described the difference to a number of individuals I am now Taoyuan life until the last degree of excitement until the diminishing marginal benefit, but it became a reason: I walked to see the landscape to you to see.
- Secondly, when I come back from Xinjiang had film clips ever recorded segment to walk the landscape, including the Night of the Taklimakan Desert, as well as in the border town of Hotan, a small bar, but when the work began, these fragments on the The increasingly fragmented, and then later, even the records of the feelings of all pan-faded, but this all of a sudden a small bar in the ancient city of Lijiang Chung sky where the wind, so I opened the computer, right, that is - "Save" the file.
To "escape"
"Bailing", Sylvia Chang previously sang the song, Ever since, I have fled from Kunming to Lijiang, because if Huangbuzelu to find the right one, "Life is Elsewhere", here is the latest choice.
The airport into the customs of the time, the radio has heard the familiar names, it is the reminder of my show over the aircraft were again waiting for me, but I do have an old and old to eat! This time, late because I do what I customor service at the last stop - bought for my flowers sent to a client station. Then, the airplane roar, and finally, everything can be like the scenery out the window quickly backwards, without leaving any trace!
"Taoyuan"
Lijiang is a good place, this is a magazine I get the concept, but it is not the hills and picturesque, it is an ancient city photo: slanting afternoon sunlight, the stone on the road with small hidden bar, 3322's people sitting in the street, wooden table reading, backpackers gigantic luggage leaning against the feet, as if had just come home had a chance to clean up the look, next to a basket carried on the back of the Naxi old woman's face Chongrubujing aspect of terraced rice paddies, the two In this way the harmonious coexistence of the.
So I was around two in the afternoon hours of sitting in the photograph, the mini-bar than in the photographs is even more gratifying, narrow facade, the old old wooden structure, the left is a row of open CD rack, from the Joans faction to the Seal to Eric Yi Ren Zhi Zao everything; yards right of the thick thin shelves of books, with Wang Xiaobo's "Bronze Age", but also the newly established "Family Guardian forest", the wall on the full to the brim of the photo, is the owner traversal of the records, but a box inlaid pieces of big photos, is a possession of the mist-shrouded fields, the young and the young Cangseng do not worship the creeping like curse; only a CD cover on the wall: That was Dadawa The "Sister Drum."
I was the only one person, but fortunately, I was the only one, and I picked a seal of the record, because like the song "Kiss from the Rose", has always felt seal is the play basketball or something, not a waste of a good body of the embryo , but this song of the soul-stirring, tenderness million species! The wine shop is also very complete, it can add lime vodka, the boss is also free of charge to help me clean for a fresh bowl of fresh strawberries!
So, I was not thinking of a winter afternoon, sitting in the sunlight of Montreal, I called the moon the left is a small bar, my right is the crossbar in the whole city of Lijiang river, the river clear bottomed out, my front is ancient layers of eaves, through the roof, that is, refraction of the crystal in the sunshine of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Write here when I feel into a trap, because I find these words familiar, "New Weekly" In a few years ago, a continuous period of themes are: "Petty era"; "I show, therefore I am"; "all of a sudden middle class" , any look at the "New Weekly" people who have habit of self-control, is often an inattentive became the object being ridiculed, so I fear up, I found all this suspicion of a small bourgeois, show the suspect, but fortunately, the middle class from being ridiculed far. However, ask ourselves, I LOVE IT! Me and truly like to see, I was into another trap, that is, unconsciously living standards, if I like it, so naturally it is like, you do not want on the posture, on a show If I have such a fuss, then I lost sense of escape, then I would pointless in any one place, still tied its own hands!
"Naxi"
Naxi is a history of cultured nation in the world, one of few remaining Pictograph - Dongba script here, and world-famous Naxi ancient music is also from this, the Naxi customs are a woman not only the Lord: homemaker is also the main things: farming tillage; then the Naxi men doing? - Literature,! So you may want to but shall, of course, no shortage Road immersed in this, so the ancient city where even small shops in the free market is the cornices corridors, white walls as the wall, everywhere are both antique poetry Wen Fu. This place is also Canglongwohu, and I have four or five exciting for open-visiting the original map to follow the instructions and soon gave up, staggered a small town of terraced rice paddies, Bridge Road, extending in all directions, with a total office actually took a dramatic turn in the road, if the direction of the overall thinking they must not miss the surrounding landscape. Well-preserved ancient city of original, rare is the development of water after Yourenruzhi or Tao-ching, favorite walking in the alley, the neighborhood kids playing badminton there, squatting door homework there, see you into the the shop, then called a few Cuisheng habitat, door, "Zhi Ya" to your voice to door open courtyard, the older mother has taken to do business. Of course, every family is not always the case, the trunk road has been very strong commercial flavor, and is mainly selling the local characteristics of the wood carvings, silverware, batik, weaving shows, one after another of the cries have been no different from any of a tourist destination;, but wood was pretty dazzling, on-site workshop to tell you the hand of his original value, and surprising is that these exquisite crafts in terms of creative or artistic crafts are strong, the owners clearly are well-trained professional education, a trace of engaging in the arts people unique temperament, natural, but like most of the studio shop, you went in, but also a simple question and answer, there is no cramped atmosphere, and you have to see him more and more valuable of. I said there are grounds for Canglongwohu:
A small art shop, the owner may be the protagonist of CCTV dossier;
Between the blocks in that window dressing to buy Dongba paper T-shirt, the shop boy called Q Tsai, help me carry a large box to the residence and asked them is talented Dongba Culture Research Institute;
Even so every day I go to a small bar-owner, is also implicit in the here, one day, someone came from outside, and only knew his network of websites in different places of the illustrious company.
"Dialogue"
"Can you speak with your boss, I would like to do part-time service, I can not wage a! Do not believe that ah, I have the hotel experience, but English is not bad!"
"I'm the boss."
"Ao!? But you have not local."
"I was in Sichuan, and came here a year."
"I guess, is not it also a play here, wanted to stay down!"
"Yes ah, and a bunch of friends over to play, then I said, I want to shop here, and then resigned over, they do not believe so fast"
"I really envy you, so just make a decision."
"Those who want to do Well, it will very soon!"
"But it seems not everyone is so easy to decide what you want life, I would also like to live here, but I can not so simply."
"Stay here a long time, you will still go back."
"I think not, I like to die here, and such beautiful scenery, such a life of leisure, I think this is the lifestyle I want?"
"In fact, where lives are the same, I am here to open bars, if there is a business, taxes, profit and loss problem,"
"I want to... Is, unless I have enough money, not relied on to make a living of dollars."
"And, do you think is the same place where there is life Taoyuan side depends on where the residents have become tourist attractions in after the younger generation than we impetuous, they simply accept what can not be so much information, so they in terms of making money has become the first major event, but also Guzhuo enjoy life? "
"But, at least simple and sincere."
"Why say simple and sincere, sometimes I feel that this is not a compliment of the words, you advanced, and then you come here lamented their ignorance behind is called simple and sincere, and hope that they will always be so ignorant and backward, that is, save the simple and sincere, who is more than anyone else foolish! want to know, Lijiang is one of the most civil disputes, like door of that old married couple, the family still in litigation in order to house it! "
"That's not right here will make people want to have dreams do very disappointed"
"So be fair to think, to live in where are the same, and, if we really let you settle down here, you will have the other does not, another depression, you will find you and you are all familiar from the original , was by far better than the original circle of life, you will have another pain! "
"So I want the ideal home, or does not exist."
"So the swap can be used as living, living for some time, you will still go back to your life!"
There are many times I have in different places at different times run into a number of different people, always in a dialogue such as these is the determining factor, reminding always thinks highly of they will be facing such a dialogue would look pale and feel of speech and ideas blunt clumsy, the original of your distress are, for depression, and the original home that you never forget the ideals and spirit of heaven seems such a gesture, the original all your heavy but a feather of light, like a river of floating grass, and that yes you do not have the weight of the impetuous.
The next day, I booked a return ticket.
"Boxer Rebellion to live in peace"
In fact, to the Li Jiang Xiaojie is to help I booked a four-star hotel, in the Metro;
Jill told me care of in every possible way:
With Jack-Jack, that gave me all the way thoroughfare, escort drum;
With Jill, let me aimless roaming With a plan, and from time to time someone informed me the trip to the Ho;
With Jill, I live lines worry, worry-free food and clothing;
With Jill, I am in Yunnan and acts recklessly, pocket broke dared to walk arena.
- So here I want to sincerely more Xie Xiaojie connived in Yunnan, I do whatever they like! ! !
I went to see Old Town Inn, immediately after the withdrawal of the Park Hotel, set-aside of the luggage moved into the old city youth hostel.
And the ancient city, like most of the Inn, the hotel is a two-story courtyard, climb the stairs, pushed open the door to two out ended in failure on the courtyard, front is a small reception station, the only decoration is the Chang dog pencil sketch. Side of the wall was once covered with photographs of past residents, business cards and message, there are some useful maps, notes, short run-length, and the day's menu, all of the content at least three languages: Chinese, English, and Japanese; tell you here, members of the heroes do not ask source. I smoked in the warmth of the afternoon, carrying luggage ran into the yard, the yard littered with small groups of black hair, gold hair and red hair: Yes, holding the pillow reading, and some whispered gestures to proceed in the manuscript, on the second floor window, two blue eyes and quietly through the Internet; Yang in the wicker chair on the steps of the talk is big and descendants. The shadow of a domesticated hen group Cuanxiang me, the future of A-Mei's Heliaoyisheng: "A Mao!" I saw familiar, that is, the master of the sketch goes on! So the people will carry the courtyard at the outset of the friendly greeting to me 11, I will do 11 to "Hello" "Ha according to the" up; my cottage is located on the second floor of the corner, up a narrow wooden ladder less than 10 square meters have only a small bed and a TV, but is a six-side are the wide wooden structure, warm look. (Imagine the warmth of the oven room bar 3), the bed is also a small platform with wooden Dachu put things, the whole room is extremely simple, extremely reasonable! I pulled curtains, VI and lattice window lattice is not even glass, lying on the bed, Yang Toukan roof, will be the light penetration into the vague past!
My first night at the inn fall asleep soundly, soft quilt full of sweet sun of Lijiang.
Called the early morning bell rang, I was still misty, the Wuran neck in soft feel, and then to have a narrow face, warm and humid, but also accompanied by the baby whimpering Di Ming, this is my lovely Amauri to me early morning greetings!
The Inn is definitely an early morning landscape, because it is common toilet and bathroom, water room, silhouette shuttle, waiting for the wash, waiting for the bath, waiting for the toilet, everyone met are very polite greetings, even though some disheveled, some blurred vision, English is quite common, whether Americans or Europeans, but the Japanese on the difficult point, when I lingered in the bathroom door three times, after which sounded Guaijiao, then do not How often sprang a little man in yellow Jiliwala shouted a pass, see my silly face, then flee into the dancing of some of the very hard to made with one syllable: "cool, cool!" It turned out he kindly to told me that the water too cold, not suitable for a bath! So I also told him with a smile: "I just want to get hot water to wash my cloth, I won't take bath, that's OK". Then go see the silly little man's face, then I tried to turn to him "Arria more race in particular that pull" up!
Compound in a peaceful atmosphere but also from Amauri in the absolute unity of love, this charming glamorous his best in everyone and feared among the best of both worlds, thousands of pet in a lifetime, showing his Shushutantan to curl up in the another one individual who demonstrated willing to contribute in my breakfast only two ham to him, I will be glad to show cooking porridge mixed with water for Amauri. Of course, Amauri also showed me even more of the loyalty.
Of course, Amauri he is a small male dog.
"Shopaholics"
I have previously said, the loss of Jill, I have to be 30 in Yunnan, Tai Yuen walk the world, as Jill said, can be just about anywhere and someone sends money to come.
In fact, as I set foot in Lijiang, we began shopping trip, vulgar bar, no way, Who I am a woman, but was happy again like to buy things, not happy also like to buy things of the standard woman, could be forgiven for the Bar!
I have bones of color, and texture (wood, cloth, linen, silver) The best I do not really understand the love object has a persistent, I have a big bazaar in Xinjiang, bought piles of wooden bowls on the Spoon and Rolling pin, once for a small number of printed Persian copper containers bear a grudge; Therefore, the ancient city of dense spider's web of small shops on my destruction can be desired but the!
Hotel-to-door is the antique shops, shop lady carrying a "daytime" look of kindness, I am going to eat dinner when they were greeted into, and I look for antiques ignorance and lack of enthusiasm, Mrs. Li, sharp vision, spread out at the end of a gold embroidered pleated skirt, skirt reveals a shiny gold foil placed at the end of Crimping thick embroidered edges, is said to be purely a hand, I hesitated a moment in the lady Doukai skirt clear up, carried out 100 fold to form a plump round, when I rotate when the skirt will be rolling up the window reflection, full of exotic atmosphere, the original heart like a skirt will allow a laissez-faire up, the original, you can do to become a gypsy girl !
I mentioned earlier, Q-earners who later became my friend - I know him free after the project will be more up.
I was accidentally passing through the Dongba Palace Q Tsai shop, because it is unobtrusive, hung on the door of the Dongba T-shirt and no Ken Tan has taste, but a roomful of Dongba Pictograph let me in step, and soon I found a roomful of delight: Dongba suite has a beautiful notebook cover page, paper, thick texture, each page is handwritten motto - Dongba script and the Chinese language of psychology, but in plain words thought-provoking, can not blame Dongba as great wisdom of the saints, have insight into the Su Chen of the gods; colorful bookmarks, like fine, so I have shouted to a bunch of yards out, his mind just calculating the gift Shuishui Unfortunately, confusion may increasingly up, this is Hupenggouyou many benefits, quite proud of that, respectively, Ren, Wu, Xu Dan-three pairs of Xiankang Li chose the three groups of Dongba couple loaded T-shirt, Oh, girl, I always remember Bar! Another fun than shopping bargain, all the way to kill would be over, when I was high-spirited, large eyes, such as Mo Shaocong Shi Q-earners, whether I try out all the stops, as always, good humor: "Oh, I really cost a呀! "(listen to, so elementary business sense), I went to pains to educate him:" business is not a bar to do so ... bar la la! "several rounds of battle, I beat Q Tsai Tai Chi, lost the next array come! Q earners could not bear I've lost too hard, take the initiative for free home delivery!
The old saying that good, blessing in disguise, how can you know the non-fu!
Q Tsai tricks, but they are poor little girl in mathematics, 23 × 4 = 71! (However, after the little girl was conscious to her door the night).
Q-earners have become my friend, took me to ride on the ancient city, and proudly told me that he is equivalent to a ticket!
I am particularly obsessed with the trim, and I said, Naxi men seem to spring from a woman who's connivance, devote themselves to start a scholarship, think also, looking at those black flushed Chuanjiezouxiang woman carrying a basket carried on the , how many men have confessed to climate but also into the point is, so Naxi men in 10 of the 78 are to navigate, especially for colors, patterns seem to have innate sensitivity. In fact, Xinhua street That little shop than on the several known as "Square" what "room" seems too much, the roof was short, the house is just around the piece with hemp cloth will, and the owner seems to ignore my existence , to uphold the hands of the carving buried secret agents, I immediately found that the hut trim are separate pieces, rather than the other shops are often at a glance the unity of style, or else the text is to Dongba mainly, or else is the realism of the watermark prints, or else an alternative abstraction to the extreme. In addition, the signs on the calm of the figures for me to master a good impression with the inexplicable. When I went into the inner finally looked up when the owner, apart from the unique delicate and sensitive artist, the owner looked mad too thick, his face a beard hard to imagine a wall full of imaginative works from his hand; My eyes have been on the wall a bright color screen to attract enthusiastic, it is based on "love" as its theme, this might be one of the few I know one of the Dongba paper, a man and a woman the middle of a child, multi - pictographic more straightforward! But let me not think this has been touched by the proliferation of a whole street of the "love" word, but the color used by the owner, it is an extremely warm orange, in the dim little room especially eye-catching, while the wood surface has also been special treatment, ranging between the wood and gypsum board has a rough texture.
To see my eyes wandering master refers to the next one painting: "Color is very special is not it? In fact, the color of the site is more extensive."
I saw the owner's finger along the side called "sun" large wood painting: "It should be the sun, and the surrounding ... These are the Dongba script!" With a modest level of Dongba language learning, I guess the: "This is the word cow, which is Soji, which is the growth of stone words ... basically all things, God shine under the sun should be to express everything from the sun has vigor and vitality and meaning."
May be to see me actually know the number of Dongba characters, the owner of a modest appreciation in the eyes, emotions are obviously rising up: "they should be, but we are not respected Naxi sun god, and painting the most important point is that he color, in fact, that the sun is divided into five color layer, was shown out of the flame radiation vigorous, in fact, where the sun is a man implies the Naxi, and as a masculine appearance, you must have rigidity, there is such a sense of power The!
I did Yaran own ignorance, because at first glance up, I thought the sun's light color after the grinding wheel is made, look closely I realized that really the layers of color, devoting manual!
This is one evening, I did not hit the ancient city of the sunset, but encountered a fascination with color, infatuated with the sun's Naxi guy, of course, I loaded the luggage!
"Black Dragon"
It should be said Heilongtan is not a worthwhile place to go, because it is classified to the "attractions" within, can be desired but the, and others such as the White Dragon River, Yellow Dragon Cave and the like will not be much difference.
In fact Heilongtan also did not give me a lot of surprise, because the door was only later I found him more beautiful scenery of the park, Beishanmianshui, Feng Shui Jia You!
Surprise to me is the Black Dragon - the fish!
Tandi is the home to the legendary Dragon King Black Dragon, so the Dragon was a jade belt to take Lijiang ancient north-south, and Tan Li fish are descendants of the Dragon King, many children and grandchildren, joy Ching, since it is sub-Dragon, Sun Dragon, then Natural killing can not be arbitrary, so the city's residents over the centuries have laws guarding this day of, so (this is key) Tan Li fish in such a paradise whim reproduce them.
"Clear water had no fish", as if Heilongtan met with complete denial of water Heilongtan clarify that it is impossible to accurately expressed in words can only cite the fact that, as a circumstantial evidence: that the water can be Tan Li directly to drink useful.
Sheng Heilongtan of fish it is difficult to describe with words, nor can the facts with a Road case: that the fish in the past the Department had to see the fish can not see the body of water;
Fish Zhuang fern fertilizer, water Bishan blue, so I think that is perhaps the poets had painted of peace and prosperity.
I remember when the University of philosophy in the history of an allusion: (classmate brothers and sisters will remember as good as new) "fish in the water free, and happy to live!"; "You're not fish, how do you know the fish happy?" ; "you are not me, how do you know that I do not know if the fish are happy?"; "You are not me ... ... .." (inferior race, and so on)
Non-classmate's will find familiar: "You you had any brains, you do not say how could I know?" (Hehe)
Yes ah, how do I know the fish happy? ?
