In the 2001 New Year 3, with pairs of the legendary original Naxi Ren mysterious and fantasy, I and Hangzhou, Travelers Club, a group of backpackers come to Lijiang, Yunnan. This is our self-tour in Yunnan this third site has been Fengwan 6-day eolian dust along the lake we have just come back to that one, known as the "plateau Jiangnan" paused for rest of the city is already full of desire.
Wan Street, came to light the ancient city of the ancient city gate, known as "Oriental Venice", known as the Millennium city - Dayan Town, a mind open to gentle welcoming satisfied us.
I walked the long winding bluestone Naxi ancient road, which is an ancient city built in Song to the early Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, it had been a considerable scale, is an ancient cultural center in southwest business. Within the row upon row of ancient houses, magnificent. Street for the shop, according to River House, the cottage-floor, layer upon layer Diego Diego, ups and downs have caused. The alleys between the home to millions of households into each of openings is the proliferation of both the Han, Tibetan, Naxi-style white houses small courtyard. Its architectural style Tetraena five yards, 3 Square, a screen wall (we have today admitted the Naxi houses is a typical 3 Square, a screen wall type). Ancient buildings, narrow street, Chuanjie stream around the room, a "small bridge, flowing water, people" of the screen. All residential premises for civil engineering structures, white walls Daiwa, richly ornamented, bluestone paving, ancient mellow, elegant chic, still exist Tangsongyifeng. Lijiang in China's only one town was named "World Cultural Heritage."
City streets are paved with color flowers Lithographic, dry day dust, rain no mud, the mountain on the water, and tortuous nature, not as a big city streets of cultivation, flat and straight. Here, let it go up and do not have some momentum, with no half-points insist. Lijiang City, filled with drainage network, and everyone behind the murmuring stream atrial walk through, plus Zuozuo Ishibashi, "Oriental Venice" hence the name. Dayan have also used the gap between the level of the city west river, put down the gate on time, clean the dirt streets. Sanitation throughout the child an automatic cleaning system. This is in today's technologically advanced Gun Gun Asian countries, I am afraid that something mysterious is Xiangyemoxiang!
For each visitor to the Lijiang, the ancient city visiting the Square Street of non-essential. It is said that a long period of history, Tibetan and Bai has been a reseller of goods center is the most important commodities distribution center in the southwest. This thousand-year operating history, the taste is still very quaint commercial street on both sides, is full of colorful shops, all small Mulou two, which are selling batik, painted wood Dongba paper plates, a variety of beautifully crafted silver ornaments, Hemp expected to do all kinds of costumes, of course, is still up to some of the Yunnan-Guizhou-style old FIXED MACHINE, according to some rural stores that came from Aunt's Xiangdi purchase from. Pick some of your favorite embroidery style and patterns to go back, after mounting an exotic flavor is definitely a very positive guest in decoration. I picked some of the Naxi women used old-fashioned "daytime" shawls. White bottom, blue Xingyue Tiaoxiu, elegant Wan Er! A little whole mounted, just study can be used for decoration.
Authentic bar do not know who have been talking about Lijiang Old Town of Lijiang way to do so to the scattered people walking leisurely walk, or busy-looking travelers are not careful it will not slow down and slip. Intention should be to describe the smooth bluestone path, but I prefer the flavor of Lijiang, is understood to want you to put aside all the upset to savor, do not calm state of mind, you can not enjoy one of the Yau America. Look at thin-wan clear drains around the street, both sides of the light-tzu Man Wu's weeping willows, all over the town's elegant bar, anywhere to sit down to a cup of Yunnan arabica coffee, sitting in the afternoon sun and watch the river flow so leisurely manner go, watching leaves cast mottled shadows on the table, you will not wait forever so sat down.

The living fossil of Chinese music - Naxi Naxi ancient music generally believed in the "Dongba", "Dongba" is the Naxi language, meaning "wise men", (there are some areas will be called Daba) also is a shaman and priests, to the ancestors worship, spirits worship, the basic elements of nature worship. Dongba Culture and the Dongba religion are inseparable. Early Tang Naxi Dongba religion is taught in the original witch, based on the absorption of the Tibetan culture and the formation of this religion. Dongba versatile, set write, draw, sing, dance in one, and thus they become the ancient Naxi Dongba culture creators, disseminators, and successor.
Night we Dongba Palace in the ancient city to enjoy the living fossil of Chinese music, known as the "Naxi ancient music," in fact there are still several places in the ancient city performance "Naxi Laguna" in place. But the most pure, or take a few of the Dongba Palace. With colleagues we are still in an interview with Zhejiang Satellite TV reporter reveal their grades until the day before booked a three in the first three rows of seats.
Naxi ancient music is popular for a thousand years old Taoist hole through the ancient music, basically from the people. And, speaking in a variety of musical instruments, traditional Taoism stage costumes are a bunch of old seat people, farmers are also home-grown artists. With a bell chime, bell, gong since the turn of the secluded, however, the "Baisha Fine Music" as the opening, as if from nowhere, the kind of pure and flexible mix of unspeakable way into our Xintian Yau injury.
The most touching is the one to take an Italian folk legend ancient music, it sad melody of emotion Qisu son of a pre-invasion of the territory of the toast's daughter, giving Jon ran in tears to write the book with the blood Aiqie mood. Sound of music to be in a hair T? Dongba the elderly, the sum of a painting to use the lyrics draw the Dongba pictograph.
Port Shelter in the Dongba dance palace that is also vividly demonstrated the Naxi people's totem worship. A Naxi man赤裸着身体, she threw a animal skins, straw sandals foot, right hand rattle, left hand holding yak tail, imitating the elephants, eagles, monkeys, frogs, tiger stance, and even facial expressions are vivid imitation. It is said that the performer was a farmer, was found by chance, he is already the fifth-generation descendant of Port Shelter dance has. Song and dance from the Naxi can be strongly felt on the Naxi people, the value of life and worship.
Russian writer Gu Peter, in his book the "forgotten kingdom," affectionately eulogized the Naxi ancient music: "This music is classic. But it is the Macross, is the code language. Music seems to be also describes such a paradise: here how quiet and tranquil; have eternal peace, Pax. "
In fact, for the Naxi ancient music, I feel the most ancient music itself, not just the lofty ethereal, as well as it is through the notes, by a local farmer singers singing three sigh in, many examples of the phenomenon of life-perishable, Praise this world of beauty, pleasure, or happiness, Looking to the other side of the unknown was keenly aware of time not forgive, in the fate of the land described in a calm. In the song, the passionate outpourings of the presiding eulogy, I felt as if the life of Naxi Ren's unique sense of their love of nature on the totem worship, the belief of the soul is immortal, they reveal the Naxi people from the drought Man to civilization, and widely absorb, draw, and never self-styled course.
In my understanding, the Naxi people is an extremely intelligent people. They have a strong perceptive, in the after the long years of the millennium, in the new civilization and the approximation of foreign culture, still maintained the essence of ancient culture, and provide it with the sublimation and transcendence, cast the mysterious and the great "Chinese southwest of the ancient Naxi kingdom.
