In the language of the Yi people, Adidi is a good place with mountains and water. "In 2005, according to the will of the villagers, Shilin County resumed the traditional name of Adidi Village, and as the Yi culture attracted more and more people's attention, the name of the village became more and more famous.
The movie "Ashima" sings: "Adi Di yo, is a good place, tall green pine trees grow all over the mountain. The water of Changhu yo is clear and cool, the green green bamboo show and long ......"
Adi Di village is a natural village in Shilin Changhu Town, located in the south of Changhu Lake, more than 10 kilometers away from Shilin County.
It can be said that every village around the Changhu Lake is "Adidi". These villages are full of rainfall, avoiding the temperature difference and wind erosion, because of the year-round sunshine, but also because of the Yi traditional customs of the objective protection of the ecological system, the mountain streams, plants, evergreen, Yi Sani people here and the mountains and the earth are in harmony with the earth.
Here is a point where the great humanities, the great landscapes and the great geomorphology converge, and where people are often amazed by the beauty of the rugged alternatives, and are at a loss for words.
It happened to catch a bullfight, followed by wrestling.
In Shilin, these two long-established competitive sports are now well known and attract many outsiders every year.
The bullfighting arena is in a large flat area in the mountains. When we went, the bullfighting ring on the big three small three circles surrounded by people, the bullfighting ring periphery, stalls and vendors shouting.
Bullfighting is not only the cattle, the spell is the owner's eyes and financial strength, a bullfighting price from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars ranging, therefore, relative to the ordinary cattle, bullfighting bulls are able to enjoy a lot of cattle family never thought of delicious, eggs, noodles, brown sugar, vegetable oil, a lot of cattle monthly food costs are in the two thousand dollars or so, and the fortunate to be the king of the bulls, in addition to supreme honor, but also will bring a lot of money to the owner. More will bring the owner a generous bonus, therefore, now the bullfighting has become a new industry.
However, looking at the bloody fighting scene, the heart can not help but fear, every time for the fate of the cattle sad, so, soon after the start of the race I left the field early.
Wrestling in the village of the small square, the Yi people martial arts, worship heroes, wrestling on the shoulders of Hercules have to be hung on more than ten feet of red cloth, in order to show the honor. I have to admit, this is a place where vision and mind can reach the extreme.
After the wrestling, at night, by the bonfire, the hot and passionate big three strings will inevitably ring. Yi people sing and dance about love, venting the passion and power of the jet. The clear voice has a natural flavor.
In the firelight of the bonfire, a group of Sani girls wearing embroidered neon dresses, dancing around the Hercules wrestling in the daytime, wheat-colored skin by the bonfire gilded with a layer of good-looking halo.
Their beauty is nourished by the spring water, healthy, strong and natural.
The dresses of the Yi girls in Adi are extremely colorful, and they have an amazing sense of beauty, embroidery skills, and meticulous thought, which is completely focused on the belts and headdresses. The head with colorful cloth woven, rainbow general, above the nail full of silver bubbles, glittering, hat inserted on both sides of the triangular embroidery piece, known as the "butterfly", full of wild playfulness and charm.
The group of girls in front of us, blue cotton cloth embroidered with living flowers, as if the field hand-picked to sprinkle on the general, a black trailing skirt, hand-woven linen, with a kind of indescribable splendor flavor.
The production of hemp cloth is quite complex, stripping hemp, washing hemp, performance hemp, and then only to spin, and then after pouring the line, line and other time-consuming process, in order to start weaving. Thinking about their efforts to thread the needle day in and day out, I can't help but feel a sense of solemnity in my heart.
The Sani people have a strong regional color, flowers and clouds, trees and grass, cattle and sheep, bees and streams, crops, flirting, the content of the vastness and abundance of the so far can not be clear, singing and dancing for the Yi people is completely natural instincts, so they can start for no reason, but also can be sung aimlessly, who knows.
The Yi have preserved a complete set of ancient songs, most of which are traced back from their own habitat to the birthplace of their ancestors - a vast area that includes the Gan-Qing Highlands and the Hengduan Mountains. Through these ancient songs, they have maintained a flesh-and-blood connection with their ancestors and their homeland. It can be seen from them that most of them had to start their long and difficult migration with their old and young because of the harsh natural environment, tribal wars, hunger and diseases.
Through the ancient songs, the Yi people have kept the feeling of being connected to their ancestors and homeland in flesh and blood.
The Sani people's big three-stringed song is a complete reproduction of the ancient life, and the joyful beating and jumping, tumbling and turning are not the products of slash-and-burn cultivation. The Sani people have been infused with song and dance since ancient times, and any imagery in their lives can be transformed into song and dance. Or colorful, or rough, not original, there is a kind of thriving power.
