There is a very beautiful and lovely place in Yunnan, with colorful clouds floating in the sky.
My brothers and sisters who are going to row dragon boats are beginning to get active.
Crazy water splashing festival
The second semester of my senior year was really a flying wave ~ ~ Besides instant noodles, beer and mahjong, I also got to know Xianghai and Dayang because of my trip to Banna, which laid a solid foundation for our future revolutionary friendship ~ ~
Going to Yunnan is just a whim. A person walked through Lijiang and Dali, and at the invitation of pigeons, he went to Xishuangbanna to celebrate the Dai New Year. Oh, thank you, pigeon. It was this trip that opened a new door for my future trips! I thought there was a generation gap with pigeons, but I didn't expect this party to get out of hand and reach a deep understanding (I don't know if my mentality is too old or her mentality is too young)
It takes about 20 hours from Lijiang to Xishuangbanna by car. I met several guys in the car (I was young at that time, too, with a wry smile), and all of them were eloquent. When I got off the bus, I was invited to join them. Unfortunately, I was too shy to turn them down (an "old driver" like me has already done it, but there may be conflicts).
Xishuangbanna is located at the junction of China, Laos and Myanmar, and the Mekong River winds through it. Secretly, jade, amber and drugs may be smuggled rampant, but the climate here is warm and comfortable, full of blue sky, white clouds and green waters, fresh virgin forests, rich wild interest and vigorous vitality, plus all kinds of delicious fruits, it can really be called a paradise on earth. There are many tourist attractions around Banna, including Wild Elephant Valley, National Forest Park, Giant Buddha Temple and Tropical Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences (also called Menglun Botanical Garden). Dai people mainly live here, so the buildings and costumes here are full of exotic customs.
Because pigeons study in tropical botanical garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the scope of this activity is mainly botanical garden. Menglun Botanical Garden is the largest botanical garden in China. There are all kinds of exotic flowers and herbs in it. Many plants are really unheard of, but I'm not very interested in plants. After reading it, I can only say: it's beautiful to catch grass! Holding the grass, what is this? Holding the grass, what a strange tree! ! ! What I envy and yearn for is the life here. At that time, I had completely given up the postgraduate entrance examination, but after seeing the pigeon's postgraduate entrance examination life, I actually regretted it. Of course, there must be heavy and hard work in school, but playing with friends makes the life of freedom and debauchery even more itchy (regret not studying hard). There are students from all over the world (Tucki and pigeons didn't seize the opportunity, otherwise I would have a mixed-race nephew), my favorite billiards room (otherwise my billiards skills wouldn't be so bad), and the most important thing is endless flowers and free fruits ~ ~ ~ (bananas and pineapples here are the cheapest and best I have ever eaten).
jackfruit
I forgot my name. There are so many plants in the botanical garden that I have never seen before.
Tap rubber
Every morning, I wake up naturally, listen to the birds chirping outside the window, and then ride my bike around the botanical garden to find out if there are ripe fruits and see if the peacock has opened its screen. Such a beautiful day ~ ~
The Songkran Festival in Xishuangbanna is a traditional festival of the Dai people, and it is also the New Year of the Dai calendar. The Botanical Garden organizes teams to participate in the Dragon Boat Race in Menglun every year. Although I can't swim, I also signed up with pigeons to join in the fun. The day before the game, our group went to practice several times. God, we are really tired. I don't know how to exert myself, I can't master the rhythm, the dragon boat doesn't walk in a straight line, and all kinds of problems, but we are still in high spirits and focus on participation, right? Ha ha ha ha ~ ~
Our dragon boat was launched.
The uniform is made in the botanical garden. It is bright red with an elephant on its chest. Later, this dress followed me to Tibet.
Although we are dressed in red, the momentum is also red, but the technology is too poor. The team compared with us gave us a little, but soon overtook us and left us far behind.
Drink yo, roar yo
It doesn't matter if you lose. Let's laugh together.
When rowing a dragon boat, the cooperation between the players is very important. Maybe we should practice more (:-D). Afterwards, we all said that we lost because we had several female generals, and we lost the initiative in strength (hum). We focus on participation, focusing on participation, hehe.
After rowing the dragon boat, make an appointment with the sea and hurry to join the rush. The food in Xishuangbanna is very interesting Before I came here, I always thought Banna only had fruit, but I didn't know there were countless delicious foods here. Pineapple rice, fried bamboo worms, citronella grilled fish, hot and sour lemon with chicken feet (Tucki's favorite) and so on. "Lantern Festival" is just like the market in our place during the Spring Festival. Everyone puts out special snacks, household appliances and special commodities for sale, and beautiful Dai girls will wear flower beads and Dai costumes to dress up beautifully.
Beautiful headdress of Dai girls
Beautiful Dai girl
Special Dai barbecue
Banna's barbecue is famous, delicious and distinctive. Especially the grilled fish, the small fish caught from Lancang River is put on the citronella, with the dipping sauce of Shangnat, which is sour, sweet and spicy and has a very unique taste.
roast fish
After attending the swing, concentrate on the next water splashing activity.
Splashing water is the highlight of this festival. We wrapped all the electronic appliances in plastic bags and rushed to the street to participate in the water-splashing festival (it seems that we didn't bring water-splashing weapons and cried). It's really crazy to splash water all over the city. The official will open tap water for everyone to use, and water can be taken everywhere in the street. Children are holding water guns and washbasins, girls and boys are holding buckets and water bottles modestly. Everyone is throwing water at each other. Some people even drive all the way in a truck full of water ~ ~ The more splashes, the more blessings ~ ~
I have a washbasin on my head and a water gun in my hand.
What are you hiding from?
The whole city is angry.
Time flies, time flies.
Since CCTV broadcast the TV series "karma" 20 years ago, the drama has touched the hearts of countless ordinary people, especially those who have experienced the ups and downs of educated youth in our generation! When I was an educated youth, I always wondered how the educated youth in Shanghai committed crimes there. How do you waste your time? There is a group of people whose common language is: I used to be an educated youth, and our generation is unforgettable for us. Now many of them have become well-known scholars and professors, and about 50% of provincial cadres have had this experience. When meeting these people, he won't say where he has made any achievements, but he will naturally tell me where he was an educated youth. These years are unforgettable for us.
What generation of wasted years?
Most of the children's shoes born in 1980s and early 1990s have seen 20 episodes of "karma" TV series shot by Shanghai TV, which was popular all over the country at that time, right? Anyone who hasn't seen karma has heard a song, right? The beautiful Xishuangbanna can't keep my father, my father has a home, and my mother also has a home ...?
What generation of wasted years?
When I have the chance, I must see everything there! (Because I am an educated youth's occupational disease, I also worked as an educated youth for several years. Fortunately, we didn't owe such a "debt".
)?
Beautiful Xishuangbanna?
From Kunming, Yunnan Flower City, I took a bus to Shilin, Dali, Lijiang and other cities. The emptiness and sacredness of Xishuangbanna and the ancient city culture of Dali and Lijiang left me unforgettable memories. ?
Today, I will fly from Lijiang to Xishuangbanna, a paradise in China! ?
I always thought that Xishuangbanna was a place where I must go to see the stories of educated youth, but today, I finally set foot on this red hot land. ?
According to the data, the ancient Dai language in Xishuangbanna is called "Mengbalanasi", which means "an ideal and magical paradise". The 44 nationalities born in this lush tropical rainforest are also pursuing a life ideal of "willing to eat, serve the United States, live and work in peace and contentment, and have a variety of customs". Xishuangbanna is not only a magical land, but also a region that has nurtured a unique national forest culture. The magic is that she is located in the distant frontier of our country, bordering Laos and Myanmar, and neighboring Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Vietnam. ?
The bus carried several of us through the urban areas, streets and stockades of Xishuangbanna. ?
I sat by the window. There are no tall buildings here. I see the endless green ocean, ups and downs. Hidden among the lush fruit trees are scattered Dai bamboo buildings, unique tropical scenery, rubber trees, fruit trees, banana forests and tea mountains, just like green fairy tale forests. The whole process is dizzying, and the mountains and Cui Wei are magnificent and beautiful. ?
Walking on the bluestone road, the air is a little damp, and you can smell the faint scent of earth. There are all kinds of flowers and plants around, and some birds sing softly. On both sides of the path, the green grass is sad, some towering trees are flourishing, and some Gu Teng is entangled, blocking the sunshine. ?
The botanical garden here must be visited. The subtropical jungle has beautiful scenery. Banana trees, banana forests, betel nut trees and palm trees can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. Some people wear Tang priest's clothes, others ride elephants and smile and relax. This scene, which I have only seen in the TV series The Journey to the West, seems to be the way for Tang Priest and his disciples to learn from the scriptures. ?
During the few days in Xishuangbanna, whether we went to the Dai stockade on the border between China and Myanmar in Mengla, the ancient tea mountain in Menghai, the wild elephant activities in Mengyang, or the ancient shellfish leaves in Olive Dam, we all walked through the rain forest that covered the sun. As Li, a local photographer, told us, it is difficult to find an angle to observe and take a panoramic view of the tropical rain forest, because there are dense plants under the forest and there is no "window".
We visited stockade in Xishuangbanna for a few days, but we seldom heard of young people going out to work. They are all willing to stay at home and do farm work, and try not to do business in nearby counties. Life in the stockade is slow, even idle, especially for three or four hours at noon. It's hard to see people walking outside. People drink with relatives and friends, or take a nap at home. Dai people also speak softly, and they don't argue with others easily. They are mostly content. This, of course, is related to the belief in Buddhism of Dai and Bulang nationalities, who account for the majority of Xishuangbanna's population, and also reflects Xishuangbanna's ideal of living in the southwest frontier as a "small country with few people". It is also the hometown of the golden peacock-Banna, which seems to be in a beautiful landscape painting: in the dense virgin forest, trees are lush, vines are entangled, wild elephants are leisurely strolling in the forest, and peacocks and pheasants fly freely; In the picturesque countryside, bamboo forests sway and palm trees are slender; fresh flower
There are more than 50 kinds of tropical fruits in Dai huts and bamboo buildings surrounded by green trees, which are as beautiful as dreams and make people linger. The multi-ethnic customs dominated by tropical rain forests and Dai people make Xishuangbanna, a magical and unique land located in the southwest border, attract millions of tourists at home and abroad. Xishuangbanna is a national-level tourist attraction which enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. ?
Some people say that Xishuangbanna is the place where dreams begin, so let my dreams start here! ?
In the theme song of TV series "karma": beautiful Xishuangbanna, I can't keep my father. Shanghai is so big, is there my home? Dad has a home, mom has a home, and I am left alone. Seems to be unnecessary?
These young intellectuals, full of passion and ambition, responded to the call of the motherland and went to Yunnan to support the frontier. So in this beautiful place, they left a fiery youth and shed loyal blood. In this section of soil between the Liusha River and the rubber forest, they fell in love, got married and had the crystallization of their love. ?
However, time flies, time flies, a dream ten years later, and the surging tide of returning home have pushed this group of people who were once young and now very realistic to the shore of big cities. They left this beautiful land, however, they gave up not only rubber forests and coconut trees, but also their love and their flesh and blood. ?
Later, five children in the 1990s got on the train, went to Shanghai to find and give birth to their own biological parents and abandoned them. However, their parents, after returning to the city, re-established their families and had new children. Undoubtedly, their arrival is nothing more than a time bomb for parents who already have a new home?
This is a sad story that reflects the real theme. Before I set foot on Xishuangbanna, I relived this song again. ?
The lyrics say, "Beautiful Xishuangbanna can't keep my father". Its beauty and magic are an invisible attraction to me, and the romantic love story in the beautiful Banna makes me want to witness Banna's intoxicating amorous feelings with my own eyes. ?
It is no longer the sadness of apricot blossom and misty rain; It is no longer a northland with strong winds, flying sand and stones, and white mountains and black water. It is a treasure house of nature, a green kingdom and a bright pearl in the south. It is a place where the popularity of Wulin is suddenly in wonderland, and it is the triumphant hometown where butterflies dance. This is a chaotic universe, and it is a feast that never ends in summer. ?
It is the lost water that the purity of the snowy plateau turns into the soup of the Lancang River, and it is the most pleasing silhouette of the ethnic customs of Fengzhu in the moonlight. ?
Here, everywhere is full of exotic customs! ?
It's nice here, a place where you can enjoy exotic customs without leaving home. ?
It's nice here, a place where one can put his soul. ?
Want to explore the virgin forest? Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest National Park is the best place. ?
There are mysterious, ancient and sentimental trees, thrilling "air corridors", negative oxygen ion breathing areas and paths running through Philip. There are rare wild animals, national first-class protected plants, endangered rare creatures and mysterious performances of ethnic minorities?
Being in a big forest with a strong primitive ecology really feels primitive and relaxed. ?
Stroll through the forest, smell the sound of the stream, take a look at the clear spring stone, and slowly feel the pleasant sound of the water. Listening to birds is the call of mountains and hearts. ?
Layers of forest, towering into the sky. The glittering and translucent green leaves are like wine, and the gorgeous green leaves are intoxicating and fragrant when brewing. Looking up, I can only see a small piece of sky. We occasionally shout "I'm coming" to the sky, and the echo echoes back and forth in the mountain stream. We occasionally close our eyes and feel a transcendence with our heart. ?
We also found many wonders here, such as strangulation of plants, flowers on old stems, roots of dragon trees, forests of single trees and so on. It turns out that nature is so mysterious and magical. Proud as a peacock, monkeys playing, people dancing like * *, and so on. Really feel the kindness and beauty of the animal kingdom. ?
Exploring here can stimulate our curious and sensitive nerves. ?
Come here to enjoy nature, this is a beautiful landscape painting. ?
We went to a hut and a farmhouse. ?
The customs here are very different from those of our ethnic minorities. The master of every family is a woman, the woman keeps the house, and the man watches the children cook. ?
Here, the honorific title for men is Maoduoli, and the honorific title for women is Saint Li Duo. We were greeted by a beautiful Saint Li Duo. ?
Their house is very special. They are all wooden attics. The first floor is generally for raising livestock and poultry or putting farm tools. The columns in the attic are all rectangular, not cylindrical. What's more strange is that these columns are only placed on a flat surface and are not buried in the soil. The owner said that this kind of building was summarized according to the local climate and natural conditions. There are two reasons: First, in the mountainous areas, snakes haunt at will. With round pillars, snakes can easily climb into the house, while with rectangular pillars, snakes can't climb up. Second, the mountains here are low. If it rains heavily, the water on the mountains may wash down, so floods may happen at any time. In this wooden attic, the columns are not buried underground. If there is a flood, the whole attic will float and automatically become a boat. We have to be impressed by the cleverness of a few private owners in Xishuangbanna. Go down the stairs to the second floor. Although the room is not very luxurious, it is very clean. Simple furniture, simple tables and chairs. ?
The hostess said that his family's conditions were among the best in the village. Here, they are all hired by men to women's homes. Prefer girls over boys. Whoever gives birth to a boy will say that he has given birth to a girl at a loss, and the whole village will hold a big banquet to celebrate for three days. When getting married, the man should have a dowry, usually a rubber tree. A woman inherits the property of her family after marriage. ?
What surprises me even more is the lifestyle here, or the custom of "living in groups". Three generations can live on a big kang. They are separated by mosquito nets. If you have two daughters, it is a mosquito net for your parents, a mosquito net for your eldest daughter and a mosquito net for your second daughter. We didn't consider the people around our city. Although we are curious and will not accept such a lifestyle, we can still respect the living habits and customs of our nation from the heart. This is their belief and civilization. ?
Maybe we have many differences, but I still love it, because I love the civilization of the Chinese nation. ?
? Dali, Lijiang and Xishuangbanna are two different flavors of food. ?
Dali and Lijiang, like a gorgeous and refined beauty, are pure and beautiful, and Leng Yan is superior! ?
However, Xishuangbanna is an absolutely beautiful woman. She is gentle and charming, and has a variety of amorous feelings! ?
Beautiful Xishuangbanna, enchanting blooming flowers, chirping birds, layered forests, back to the original attic! Everything is beautiful in your eyes and in your heart. ?
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not my hometown, and no matter how good the residence is, it is not my home. ?
Xishuangbanna, I'm going back. Your mystery, richness, beauty and magic remain in my heart. ?
Goodbye, Banna, you will always be the place I yearn for! ?
The rolling tropical rain forest, exotic flowers and herbs, towering old trees, refreshing green, passionate beauty and vigorous vitality, not to mention the delicious food that people can't give up ~ ~ Banna, Banna, these are all beautiful Xishuangbanna! .
