Sequence is necessary to leave the Old Town of Lijiang, and unconsciously I have been here for 17 days mixed. The reason why mixed, because on the days I listened to a completely acoustic clouds, smell the flowers looked at the time slipped away. These days I have not rushed to the so-called scenic areas, did not go to bustle in the dazzling array of craft shops, just to sit quietly quiet city youth hostel bar, take a look at books, chat, do cooking, a leisurely day, whole day. However, arbor, though good, non-Kurumi place, stay for too long, the heart began to panic up. It is time left, and tomorrow I will start to Tengchong, and then planned to go to Ruili, Myanmar, Laos. Always wanted to write these words, however, is too ancient a life of leisure made me half-way each time and waste. Finally, before leaving the occasion, put together bit by bit torrent, so I had to write.
Buddhist monks will not be chanting monks, a monk less Chizhai. He likes to eat ribs, I do like fish and meat. Monk was raised in a city youth hostel dog, yellow and black Soke, drooping ears, short legs, and body fat, eyes large and Shui Ling, forefoot toe, running way to a jolt from a jolt. I like the monk, to the point of endless sympathy and affection.
Monk's name is allusions. Initially raised here, had a pig, a cat and a dog. Han Han's pig, named Zhu Ba-jie, cats Lingyalichi, and called the Monkey King, only clumsy puppy, nature called Sha Hushang of. Later, lost cats, pigs too noisy, give as gifts of. Only timid and well-behaved dogs, simply remove the prefix, you become a monk.
I am seeing a person or animal, the first note are eyes. At first glance see the monk Yuyuehuanxiu, Shui Ling's eyes mist let me Dunsheng love. Did not get along for some time, he remembered me, and one to the front of me, they Huan potential to swing-up a small tail swing is too low P stocks have a flash a flash, the joy was palpable.
Often said that Gounahaozai more meddling. Preference for multi-tube a monk that other people's business. Ancient city's houses are wooden structures, a number of mice Road, rodent without a break. And there is no teacher, from mice to arrest. By the time the dead of night, the monk patiently Shouhou haunted places in mice, tummy motionless. While always returning empty-handed, but the spirit is commendable.
Monk timid, if not a strong backing in the next, it will be very modest and humble, gentle. Took him out and head-Xian Zhao of other dog, he would very carefully Coushang go slowly Shenguo the nose, gently tap each other's nose, and then quite gracious leave, look for well-trained the owner feels very face. However, if accompanied by large black dog Tashi, and that is another picture of the Fan. Almost every look at a person or a dog, we must bravely rushed forward, bravado, loud barking, Jiyu arrogance, the arrogance of snobbish Hujiahuwei performance vividly, really good and gas and amusement.
Sometimes mood bleak corner alone. Monk seems to understand other people think like, I often ran Britain fart Britain, using fertilizer in body rub my feet, with a small head arch me, tease me happy. Spicy monks do not eat before, because the owner is of Hangzhou. Ever since I arrived here, I have done no matter how spicy the dish, he would happily eat it. It made me no regrets to feed him dinner, even breakfast, have changed the tradition, I bought waffles into a.
Is very reluctant monk, he became my partner happy here may be the world fades away, life is always full of parting clutch, since can not change, the only openly accepted. I will always miss the lovely monk.
(Departure time, just walked in the courtyard, the monk to see me back a big bag, it seems that I want to leave. Tatema flew at his master in front, half-crawl on the ground, issued urgent sobbing, desperately shaking of the small tail, to turn around and look at me, as in the begged the owner to leave. the presence of people are surprised, even the owners are issued with emotion that have never seen him this way for others. because the travel time to, and I refused to take a lot and went straight to out walking, the monk actually washed out along with his own safety, has been catch up fast out of the ancient city of fork in the road. I have a few around the bend, shake off his rush to taxis, along the way, could not help but burst into tears.)
Yibin snack bar to read the book before the introduction of the Lijiang snacks: chicken bean jelly beans, Erkuai, Lijiang Baba, to put it hype, thinking how wonderful this experience. After tasted know, writing the charm is boundless. Lijiang appetite for eating out is hard, almost all famous I can look for opportunities to widest range of ethnic restaurants, and cooking has always been far from satisfactory. Until one day, I found this Yibin snack bar. Square near the ancient city of a hundred, two small stores, only ten to twenty square meters, the same one. Simple tables and chairs, snacks no more than 10 kinds of varieties. However, this Sichuan style snack bar has been opened for nearly a decade, has been hotbed of activity. Here Chicken Noodle, delicious overflowing; spicy ravioli stew, taste unique. So that food preference of my treasured patronize several days there, eating a public folks look at me go, ranging from orders began for me, cooking spicy ravioli stew. Shop owner is a Sichuanese, physiognomy correct, no more than 35 years. Listen to my accent is Beijing, the boss came approached. Boss want to go to Beijing to see the development of proposed projects. Would like it to taste the unique eateries, and certainly has a strong vitality, but I am worried that if they go to Beijing, will he or she and the many restaurants, like before, and slowly converging, finally become utterly normal. Health and southern Orange is orange, the Health and north of trifoliate orange. However, Sichuan cuisine in the hard-working Sichuanese of sowing, it has been around the world has. Hope that one day I can taste so authentic in Beijing, spicy and delicious ravioli stew.
Yunnan Travels (4 ancient chronicle 2)
October 29, 2001 Weather: sunny mood:. . .
Moso culture, those who come to Lijiang, few people do not know the lake, do not know Mosuo people. Not long ago, also at home and watched Sun TV broadcast a documentary about the United States, Mosuo married woman Young 2 car Ram biography. For their unique customs and habits, are more hazy impression to Lijiang, all of them the impression that it has become alive. In the ancient city near the large stone bridge, one can often see young girls dressed in garments Moso promotion of local wine Sullivan Ma. Mosuo clothing is very beautiful, with ornate baroque style, the upper body is the color of bright rimmed partial breasted long-sleeved T-shirt. The following is long and the foot of the white pleated skirt, a red edge embedded in the middle of the waist, softened like peacock, a great format. The waist line with two inches wide bars flower belt, hat purely exquisite silk and woven yak tail, yak tail hanging on the left, such as the black braids and hats decorated with silk flower beads positive. Wearing full set of clothing, customs million species, Chuchudongren.
I have lived in youth hostels, there are four lovely girls working here, two of which are Mosuo girls, they are hearty personality, singing and dancing. Almost every day I wake up, are accompanied by their beautiful singing. Mosuo girl working the counter, also known as two cars Ram, this is a very common Mosuo girl's name. We usually called her two cars, loud, but strange, gives the impression of deep.
However, to truly understand the Mosuo culture, but it is traveling through an aunt has a fanatical interest. Aunt from Hangzhou, is a cultural reporter, from more than 20-year-old began to indulge in travel, to a now almost 50, is still Chixinbugai. Alone, traveled in China, has a single, which requires much perseverance and determination of ah. Aunt now is not very good physical condition, have severe neuritis, two knees is also a long with bone spurs, but still insist on foot, and take the opportunity to go to Tiger Leaping Gorge has completed a small Zhongdian. After returning from the Tiger Leaping Gorge, tired, they are also sitting in the bar all day. Live for a long time to know nature. Aunt planning forward to going to Lugu Lake, chat among the learned Moso culture, actually has such a unique singularity.
Mosuo people belong to the Naxi, marriage customs are still kept away, continuing the tradition of a matriarchal society. Men do not marry and women do not marry, the couple did not live together in one room a long time. After the birth of a child by the mother, an upbringing, the father only to his sister's child custody and obligations of their own personal rights of the child does not care, but can only visit.
There is all the more unique is that Mosuo people's life and death are in the same place. In the middle of the back of HOS flats have a small airless rooms, only the birth of a child or a family member's death will stay here. A child to be born, the mother will be sent here until the child was born. When the family after the death, the body will be bondage into a squat appearance, hold hands in the chest, where the place for some time, re-buried. So frankly face the unique conception of death in the world I am afraid that is unique.
Unfortunately, the lake has been developed into a tourist area of the proliferation of both rich, so I do not want to stay, they have not yet personally aware of this unusual community of.
Playing jump only from the face of it, in any event could not guess, this was a collective dance meaning. In the ancient city Jiannanchun every night on the square in front of 7 am to 9 pm both Naxi ethnic dance party. Square Street and the Jade Dragon Garden is to be held the next day.
At first I was Qucourenao, we saw men and women, young and old surrounded by a good few times, hand in hand, and the melody, jumping neat steps, truly beautiful. He then went to jump several times and found the crowd there were a lot of the old lady, wearing Seven Beidou shawls, earnestness, affectionately dedicated to jumping, would the dedication impressive.
Naxi music, the melody is very unique, because I did not go listening to Lost Horizon, the Naxi ancient music can not compare. However, when the Naxi dance music, there are a lot of irregular chords, there are a lot of 4 and 7, Vicarious significantly different from the Han Palace, by temperament a corner only feathers pentameter. And there are 4 / 4 rhythm and 3 / 4 rhythm, genre and for lively and rich dynamic and refreshing.
Nash also has a variety of dance steps, and the same song as the melody changes, the steps are different. Essential to the pace of transformation of the main semi-often holding hands of others, with an occasional clap and walk away. All surrounded by a circle, a dance began, many young people have to strive to Wai pushed into a new inner circle, do not know if this is not betting the first meaning. Jian-Nan Chun at the front of most of the locals are warm and friendly and you To join, just to find a fracture, homeopathic pull the end of idle hands on the team, then immediately into the Wu Qun. Do not jump does not matter, pay attention to see Naxi grandma's steps, which is the most standard and most accurate movements, I believe, but while one can learn Qi Cheng. If you jump carefully from start to finish, but also jump Chuyishenhan really exercise ah.
The fight allegedly Square Street Naxi elderly people to participate in a lot of jumping, they are very willing to join the foreign tourists. In fact, I can understand, a group of music simply can not understand the essence of the cursory visitor to the middle-doped, the joke slapstick, it is the destruction of the atmosphere.
96 years of Lijiang earthquake, hand, blessing in disguise as a world-renowned tourist city. Ran Fu Xi Xi bad? In such a numerous and Wuza under the impact of foreign culture, ancient Naxi civilization, colorful ethnic customs, but also to keep how long? Our next generation, but also blessed to enjoy such a honest and moving picture of Yao?
