Stop in Kunming for about two hours and feel the Four Seasons Spring City through the scenery of the waiting room. People come and go in the waiting area, with shops next to them and aisles in the middle, but it is by no means an endless stream. Squeezed out from the noise of the imperial city, everything in front of me seems to be very slow, even the people talking and laughing next to it slow down. I also walked slowly, watched slowly, appreciated slowly, and strolled leisurely around the shopping malls in the terminal building. Perhaps this leisure is also because I have enough time to wait. Here, you can see some colorful Yunnan. In the long waiting hall, the shops along the road are mainly of these types: handicraft shops with ethnic characteristics, convenience stores with lattice shops, jade, jade, silverware shops, tea shops and fruits, and the rest are mainly catering and selling clothes.
I don't know where jade is produced in Yunnan, but I always think jade is more textured than gold and silver. I stopped in front of a shop whose exhibition attracted me, and decided to go and have a look to improve my aesthetics haha ~
PS: Photos are allowed, and the accessories are still licensed.
During my short stay, one word can accurately sum up my feelings here, and that is: comfortable. When I first arrived, the air was very comfortable. The temperature in spring city in early August is very comfortable. There are faint clouds in the sky, and the weather is very comfortable. On the other hand, the slow-paced exercise around you is particularly comfortable. Thanks to my little brother who didn't want to walk around and stayed to see the box. Haha, of course, I went shopping by myself. When I was looking at the box, my brother and the teacher went to the toilet, and the teacher turned around first, so I left my brother hahaha ~ ~
The time from Kunming to Lijiang passed quickly, but the plane meal I expected after a smooth flight did not appear. There are not so many free lunches (╯3╰) in this world.) An hour and a half flight may be due to the short time. When we arrived in Lijiang, the project partner arranged for someone to pick us up. The person who picked us up was the project manager named Tamia Liu Liu Jingli. We didn't have to worry about food and shelter behind us, which also made the ground behind us very flat. Thank you very much!
Have a nice trip! The blue sky, clouds and sea of clouds above the sky are so beautiful that some of them look sweeter than marshmallows. I really want to catch one. I didn't bring my camera. I wish my eyes had a shutter. Try to keep this beautiful luxury when you go back.
Follow the teacher and have the honor to be a distant guest. As the guest liked, he arranged for us to stay at the ancient city inn on the first night. It's almost four o'clock in the inn. When we settle down, we will rest by ourselves and have dinner with them at six o'clock in the evening. After a day's trip, plus sleeping for more than two hours last night, I dozed off all the way, and began to lose my mind after listening and speaking continuously. In desperation, the teacher called out to pad his stomach, and the first meal in Yunnan was crossing the bridge with rice noodles.
After dinner, there was about an hour's rest before dinner. I decided to go out to the inn and visit the ancient city with my brother. Out of the inn, it is still an inn. The inn is door to door, and in the distance, it is a shop. The ancient city is almost a commercial area, but it costs maintenance to enter the street during the day, which is quite dark for the development of tourism. Of course, we don't have to go shopping. To say that Lijiang is a place of literature and art, when you come to Old Town of Lijiang, whether you go to an inn or a shop at night or a Naxi family, you deeply feel that this culture is deeply rooted in Lijiang.
Look at other people's clothing culture. The proprietress from Changsha, wearing a casual nightgown and smoking a cigarette, is chatting with us that she is 40 years old and will enjoy life. The proprietress's husband has long hair, the chivalrous figure in Jin Yong's novels, long legs and sportswear tied in a bun in the street. This place is really a place that does not show off and does not disappear. Everything is so natural, so appropriate and so comfortable from the heart. People chatting, drinking tea, keeping a beautiful big dog, lying at the door or being slipped in the street are all very eye-catching. The cat is lazy at the window and can no longer be tolerant of literary decoration. Flowers and bonsai plants have become an indispensable part of architecture here: on the ground, on the roof, hanging on the wall, used as curtains, in the cracks in the wall and in the ditch. From the eaves where people live to the corners, from the tips of people's hair to their toes, this atmosphere can be seen everywhere. Women who specialize in tying the hair of tourists and passers-by certainly charge. The beautiful flower rope shuttles through the hair, which is very distinctive, but the most beautiful thing is that it flows over the lively little girl's head.
Standing in front of my house, take a picture of the left side of the inn where we live:
Visiting the ancient city and paying attention to the post office, literature and art can't find a post office that looks normal as expected here. Seeing that the mailbox of "China Post" is also on a wall surrounded by various artistic atmosphere, it is not very conspicuous, and it is even more literary to describe it with a postcard shop. It seems that the stamps I brought are really useless. The woman shopkeeper told me that I can only buy postcards with stamps on them to send, or I can buy another envelope without stamps but with stamps they sell. This is incomprehensible. Because of the time, I visited several postcard shops, and there was only one place to send it, which was also the style and design of this postcard to my liking. I bought a postcard to visit the ancient city, and I have to start over when I come back. /kloc-come back at 0/2 and stay up late to write postcards. I was tired all day, plus I only had two hours' rest last night. Dear friends, I am very sorry to receive it, but my mind is never careless. I just wrote it. I don't know when it will be stuffed into the mailbox. Buy postcards and forget most of your troubles.
Naxi culture
It happened that there was a torch festival in the surrounding cultural village tonight, so the host took us to see it.
Torch Festival is a celebration for Naxi men aged 36 and 49. Chatting with Naxi's eldest brother, I learned that it was to celebrate and pray that they could finish the year smoothly. In Naxi culture, 36 and 49 are ill-fated ages. I understand that it is similar to the animal year, more like the custom of every nine in our hometown. This celebration has been held, and they will all succeed next year. But only for men, and through the Naxi girls mentioned later, I feel that there is a potential phenomenon that men are superior to women, but they don't seem to have a subconscious preference for men. When Naxi girls get married, it turns out that the family wants to give money to the man. In the words of the mother of a three-year-old child, "Our Naxi girls are ugly and black. As long as we can marry someone we like, parents are willing to pay, and parents hope that we will live well in the future. " In fact, as far as this mother is concerned, the Naxi girl is not ugly, and the darkness is the same as the plateau of more than 2,000 meters ~ ~ The married Naxi girl has no meaning of "water spilled by the married girl". "We can come whenever we want, just like we are not married." We came to the village head's house, and we were received by a friend of Liu Jingli. The Naxi girl who is chatting is the married daughter of this family. She took her out to watch the program for a while, and then came in to chat with us. This place is full of simple people. Naxi people have a strong football culture, and many children have professional teams to participate in competitions. We went to the Naxi people's home with photos of their fifth-grade son's football team on the wall, which shows that China's football reserve force has great potential.
Torch Festival starts at 8: 30, and pop songs are playing on the front stereo. The meaning of hearing Korean songs here is different, and the feeling of hearing pop songs is different. I was even more impressed when I heard the theme song Pure Land of Mufu Fengyun sung by Sun Nan. Villagers and other villagers took stools to the stage early, and the scene was like singing a big drama in front of grandma's house. After the song was released, there was an activity related to Naxi culture, setting off fireworks. During this time, we all talked in the house, but we didn't go out, talking about them, talking about us, people and birds. When I heard the coming pure land, I talked about this song. Speaking of Arqiu, the original Naxi language is Alzy. The language difference, I didn't notice that it was Qi, which meant Naxi girl, so the Naxi girl mentioned above began to speak from this song. Aleqiu is the owner of the wooden house, as Naxi people call him. Through chatting, the "Mufu Fengyun" was added. Mufu was the ancestor of Muzeng and brought peace to Lijiang. Aleqiu, naturally Muzeng's wife, is synonymous with Naxi's smart and capable woman. The shogunate's natural surname is Mu, a samurai in the shogunate. Now the Naxi nationality surnamed Mu is still one of the main bodies here. The main surname of the people in our cultural village is He, and their ancestors were butlers in the shogunate, equivalent to civil servants. At present, Naxi people have three surnames, one of which is Zhao, who is in charge of internal affairs in the shogunate, which is popularly called the logistics department. Naxi culture is profound, just like Lijiang at the foot of this snow-capped mountain.
It must be said that Naxi culture is Dongba, the earliest Naxi script, which has been protected as a world intangible culture. They still speak their own Naxi language. However, due to the development of tourism in Lijiang, and even its world-famous introduction, most of them can speak Mandarin to some extent, especially children. As a mother, Naxi girl, her three-year-old son, is very smart and speaks fluent Mandarin to us. Xiaowa is very brave and asks us questions. She is very likable and polite. When there are enough bananas beside my teacher, she calls me "brother". Haha, it's just that my brother is wrong. My mother taught him to call him uncle.
We went to the village head and another friend's house in Liu Jingli, also a Naxi family. When we go to the inn, they always invite tea first, and then pine nuts, sunflower seeds, walnuts, all kinds of fruits, the hometown of tea and fruit, which naturally reminds you. Through their life and culture, we saw the optimism and open-mindedness in this beautiful land, and were deeply moved and infected by their enthusiasm. At the end of Torch Festival, there is a bonfire party. The stool was put away, and a fire was lit at the meeting place. Men, women and children held hands and danced Naxi dance around the bonfire. The dance steps are very rhythmic, and the Naxi people who dance enthusiastically look eighteen. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You can't understand what you are singing, but music has no national boundaries. Sometimes you really don't need to know what you are singing. My brother and I joined in and danced on drums together. The enthusiastic girl and boy guided me to dance correctly, but some lyrics hurt my brain. "Is that you ~ ~ Is that you ~?" Ha ha ha left a sequela, which still lingered after the end. This is probably the square dance of Naxi people ~ ~
In this season, the temperature in Lijiang must be thicker in the morning and evening, just like the late autumn in Inner Mongolia. I wore little on the first day, and it was really cold at night. But it's much warmer to lift your legs with everyone. Dance followed the music wave after wave, and we joined everyone and danced for a long time. After the bonfire, return to the inn 12.
There was no game on the first day, except for the half-day trip, the rest of the time was spent feeling literature and art. I really want to write down all the bits and pieces of this day.
I feel so! Thank you for everything!
