Jianshui Ancient City Play Tips:
Whatever To which city, no matter which countryside, I like to get up early. The morning is the kind mother, the sunrise is the mother's smile, want to see the mother smile, you have to get up early.
Jianshui is a quiet and charming thousand-year-old city. When I opened my eyes, I was y shocked and mesmerized by the morning of the ancient city of Jianshui. The first thing that caught my eye was the gorgeous morning sun in the east. The sea of red-orange clouds halfway across the sky was so beautiful that it made me shed tears.
Surrounded by the blue sky, the momentary change of the sunset interpreted the eternal beauty: the gray clouds gradually turned white, the white clouds gradually turned red and yellow, quickly spreading and spreading in all directions. That piece of orange and yellow colored clouds, like the eggs my grandmother fried for me when I was a child, was beautiful and delicious.
The piece of dark red clouds, like the face of my childhood grandfather, always with a pleasant smile in his busyness. But, grandparents, are there such beautiful colored clouds in heaven?
Such exquisite and ingenious color matching, also like our Jianshui Yi girl's clothing, dexterous Yi girls can also use colorful fabrics, sewing out beautiful clothes pants and ornaments. This kind of beauty, but also I aspire to life, even if there are a thousand hardships, the heart should also have such a sunset, beautifying every day!
Lujiang River is the mother river of Jianshui, meandering through the entire Jianshui dam, tirelessly feeding thousands of sons and daughters of Jianshui. Chaoxia is the sister of Lujiang River, see her sister shine, Lujiang River naturally can not resist their excitement.
She woke up her loyal maids with the soft music of "wah wah wah wah": the willow that follows her all the way. Immediately, the willows on both sides of the river flicked their hair and danced gracefully towards the river, whispering to each other and expressing their love for each other, and this warm companionship touched the magpies in the neighborhood.
The magpies called their friends and flew up to the treetops, and kept praising for the Lujiang River, "tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk", the magpies' praises tempted the white egrets, and a line of white egrets suddenly went up to the sky, and suddenly fell down to the Lujiang River, and couriered the wonderful story of the Lujiang River to the the four corners of the world!
Jianshui's winter does not snow, colorful family flowers and wildflowers instead of the northern snowstorm. The sunrise is the idol of flowers, see the magnificent performance of the sunrise, all the flower families compete for beauty, the constraints of the season to the clouds, and the provincial capital of Kunming to compete for the honor of "four seasons like spring".
The most outstanding are the reeds, a clump, a row, as if the mighty sentinels, standing on both sides of the countryside, they use simple white, over the eye-catching color. The sunrise is even more gorgeous, but also the momentary expression of white clouds.
Flowers are more beautiful, but also a blush of spring. The reed spreads the promise made by the white cloud warmly on the winter earth, making the earth pure and bright.
The sunrise building is the landmark building of Jianshui, which is the first messenger to greet the sun. The sun climbed up the hill, the clouds Royal down the heavy makeup, restored the original appearance.
The old grandpas with their beloved birdcages have gathered to the square of the sunrise building, the pleasant and melodious song of the eyebrow bird has become the main theme of this place, there are soloists, there is a chorus, you side sang me on the stage, the eyebrow bird to the crowd of people's thoughts quickly into the old forests of the deep mountains.
The bird of prey was in full swing when a group of grandmothers entered the scene and, without saying a word, raised their hands, twisted their waists, and danced the cheerful smoke box dance, which is a traditional dance in the Jianshui area that is suitable for young and old alike.
The grandmothers danced so beautifully that the paintbrush bird, ashamed of itself, stopped singing and watched quietly. Living in the moment, enjoying the moment, is the sunrise of the elderly, and this beauty is something else!
The morning is beautiful. The morning sun is beautiful. Jianshui is wonderful. Wherever you are, waking up early is to encounter beauty!
Jianshui is one of the most memorable stops on this Yunnan trip, I didn't realize it has such a rich history, and there are traces of the years flowing by everywhere. In addition to the great festivals, walking in the old city you will rarely see the bustle of tourists, there are only locals coming and going, busy. This is very different from Dali and Lijiang, which have a strong commercial flavor.
At the same time, compared to outsiders, Jianshui people are more urban and simple. You can feel their real life here.
Jianshui was once the political, economic, cultural, military center and transportation hub of South Yunnan. As a result of the deep influence of the Central Plains culture, it has formed a diversified and integrated culture in which the Han culture and the cultures of the border ethnic minorities are intermingled.
This ancient city with deep cultural heritage was approved by the State Council as early as 1994 as one of the third batch of national historical and cultural cities. After 12 centuries of construction, the ancient city still has more than 50 ancient buildings, known as the "Museum of Ancient Architecture" and "Museum of Folk Houses".
