The source of Kunming women is more complex, the most primitive when the local ethnic minorities. From the Warring States period Zhuangrua into Yunnan, the motherland of the woman from the mainland, followed by the official, the military, the husband of the exile to come here, in this place to take root, and flourish. In the process of integrating with the ethnic minorities, on the one hand, they are adapting, and on the other hand, they are influencing and transforming the local culture. During the Anti-Japanese War, a large number of generals, soldiers, scholars and their wives and daughters from the mainland followed them southward, which once again touched the cultural genes of Kunming. After the war of liberation, a large number of military and political personnel settled in the spring city; during the reform and opening up, businessmen from all over the country, such as the flood of people once again into this place, so that this not very big city all of a sudden increased a few times, so that the original complexity of the genes once again reorganized and improved.
In short, Kunming women from all corners of the world, the most bizarre is that the women were also influenced by the outside world. France in the early nineteenth century, in order to dig China's mineral resources, built a meter track railroad in Yunnan. For our country is shameful, really unbearable, but the French European-style life, more or less influenced some women. Anti-Japanese War, the U.S. Flying Tigers came to China to support, when the girls in the Air Force Guest House wore American-style clothing, foreign flavor. These foreign cultures also quietly immersed in the lives of Kunming women, so that their original complex culture has become more confusing.
Although Kunming women are very mixed blood, but after three years and five years, after the warmth of the sun, the rain wash, they will follow the customs of the country, into a real Kunming women. They can never get together without the topic of "food", most of them like to eat rice noodles. In this kind of place, snack bar opened all over the streets of Kunming, no matter where you go, you will see women in the patronage of rice noodle store. Yunnan's rice noodle practice on the general three kinds, cold, hot pot, small pot boiled. From the ingredients on the points on the more, such as chicken soup rice noodles, bean flower rice noodles, intestines Wang rice noodles, stewed meat rice noodles, mixed sauce rice noodles, as well as a variety of flavors from the ground on the state into the city of spring, countless. The highest level when the bridge rice noodles, foreign tourists to Kunming, do not eat a bowl of bridge rice noodles, it is considered a regrettable thing!
At the dinner table, the Spring City women do not refuse meat and meat, but prefer the mountain wild vegetables, a plate of wild vegetables on the table, both eyes will shine. Especially in the rainy season, colorful wild mushrooms a debut, that is called beauty! Porcini mushrooms, yellow lazy head, green head mushrooms, matsutake mushrooms, chicken fir ...... These mountain treasures are so mouth-watering. Especially the kind of inconspicuous dried mushrooms, can fry a plate to eat is really cool to home!
Kunming women's attire for the four seasons, summer does not refuse to sweater, winter does not refuse to skirt, long clothes and short skirts, coats and jackets, windbreaker shawl flying all over the street. The color is strong and flowery, some of them are beautiful, some of them are simple. One summer, I traveled to Suzhou, see Suzhou women are dressed in light color dress. Clearly colorful face, delicate body, such as hibiscus out of the water, all beautiful. Then look at the northern cities in the fall, a street wearing a colorful sweater set of women, feel a different style, that tall, red face, through the northern women's health of the beauty. In Kunming, is not to see such a uniform clothing style.
This is because the climate of Kunming is "four seasons like spring, a rain into winter", completely like a naughty child, say cry, say laugh, a moment of cloudy a moment of sunshine, a moment of cold a moment of heat. A few minutes ago the sun was shining brightly, as long as a few white clouds dancing in the sky, "swish, swish" on the rain. Women's dress plans are often disrupted and caught off guard. Mixed wear is a local specialty, with no sense of collection, it's all up to personal preference, like a wide array of items in a small grocery store. It may seem out of place, but on closer inspection it's not out of fashion.
