We all know the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan, for example, a dish with three mosquitoes, which is sold with eggs strung with grass, the train is not as fast as a car, the grasshopper is a snack, and the bamboo tube is a hookah ... Very interesting, which sums up the natural mountains, rivers and customs well. Later, we went to Tengchong to travel, and the local saying of the eighteen eccentrics in Tengchong was also popular, which was quite interesting. Let's take a look:

It tells the story that there are many Tengchong volcanoes, with craters at the top, such as Dakong Mountain and Kongxiaoshan, so it is called "ten mountains and nine headless" with no top.

Tengchong boasts ninety-nine volcanoes and eighty-eight hot springs, and it is also the famous hometown of hot springs in China, so the second strange thing is that hot springs are really heroic and understandable.

Tengchong is a famous jade distribution center in China, with the reputation of "jade leaping out". Because Tengchong is located on the border between China and Myanmar, it used to be the distribution center of jadeite in Southeast Asia. These jadeites were brought from Myanmar by Tengchong people, carved into craft ornaments by skilled craftsmen and sold to the mainland and all over the world, so there are many time-honored jade shops here for hundreds of years.

Tengchong has many volcanoes, so there are many volcanic rocks. The pumice and eggs formed by these volcanic eruptions have many pores. They are put in water and can float on the water. They have many uses, not only for building houses, but also for paving roads and bridges. You can also buy it and rub your feet when you wash your feet at home.

Rescue is a story and a famous dish in Tengchong. According to legend, at the end of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang of Li Yong, Emperor of Nanming Dynasty, was forced by Wu Sangui to leave Kunming and fled to Tengchong. He was hungry and cold. When he met a family, there was nothing to eat at home, so he fried a bowl of local bait. This was a life-saving grace for Emperor Li Yong, so he sighed: "It really saved my hand!" In this way, fried fish bait blocks, also known as "big rescue", became a famous snack in Tengchong.

Gambling stone is a very common way of trading rough stones in Tengchong, that is, before the original jade is untied, the process of evaluation, trading or bidding is gambling stone, because before the stone is untied, you don't know what's inside, so gambling depends on luck. "One knife is poor, one knife is rich, and one knife is hemp." Tengchong folk songs tell the cruelty and good luck of betting on stones.

The largest, most famous and oldest library in Tengchong is not in the urban area, but in Heshun ancient town with a history of more than 600 years, Heshun Library is located on the bank of Heshun Shuanghong Bridge. It was founded in 1928 by overseas Chinese living in Heshun, with a collection of more than100000 volumes. It is the largest rural library in China.

Tengchong is an outstanding place. Not only have many celebrities traveled here, but Tengchong has also walked out of many celebrities. For example, Ai Siqi, a famous great philosopher, is a native of Heshun Ancient Town, and Li Genyuan, the acting prime minister, and Cunshusheng, an educator, are all from Tengchong. These people don't live in the city, most of them live in old streets like Heshun ancient town, and they still keep their former residences.

Men in Tengchong are away from home all the year round, doing business outside to make money, and the burden at home falls on women, but men are afraid that their wives and daughters will get caught in the rain and bask in the sun when washing clothes, so they have returned to their hometowns to build laundry kiosks by the stream, which shows that Tengchong men are very considerate and caring for their wives.

I have never seen this kind of fish, but I have heard of it. It is a small fish that lives in the betel nut river in Tengchong. It's called Shangshuyu. Every rainy season, they climb to the trunk of the river with suckers in their bellies, and then come down from the tree after laying eggs. It's amazing. It's really weird.

This was before liberation. It is said that newspapers and periodicals in Shanghai were going to Yangon, Myanmar via Guangzhou and Bibi Port. However, the time required to enter the mainland from Tengchong is half that by land. Because of this, Tengchong people naturally read newspapers and periodicals much earlier than the provincial capital Kunming.

According to local friends, there are more than 220 kinds of azaleas growing on Gaoligong Mountain in Tengchong, which is the real azaleas kingdom in the world. Some authoritative scientists assert that there are only azaleas in Datang of Gaoligong Mountain in the world. Rhododendron is produced in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, and is the largest tree in the world. It is more than 30 meters high, with a base diameter of more than 3 meters and a base circumference of 10 meters, and is known as the "king of Rhododendron".

In people's impression, waterfalls should all be in the valley of mountains, but Tengchong is different. There is a big waterfall in Tengchong-Dieshui River Waterfall, so it is also a very interesting strange.

The fourteenth monster of Tengchong: powder rubbing is delicious and good to sell.

Rubbing powder is a famous local snack in Tengchong. This is bean jelly made of buckwheat noodles. There are many ways to eat and many seasonings, but you must use local plum vinegar. Tengchong powder is delicious, but it is not exclusive. They are all sold along the street, with little burden. Actually, I think it's normal. Why is it strange?

Tengchong bait silk, like powder rubbing and rescue, is a famous food in Tengchong. It is said that it was invented by people in Wancun, Dongshan, and it is generally made of rice paste, a local specialty, which has a history of more than 400 years. Tengchong bait silk is characterized by smooth and tender entrance, rich taste and not easy to break. It is the top grade of Yunnan bait silk. Why is it strange? I really don't understand.

This is a way for local people to barbecue with volcanic rocks. Tengchong volcanic rocks are famous for their pure nature, no pollution, no radiation, high temperature resistance and fast heat transfer. Barbecue on volcanic rocks is fresh and delicious, and the smoke is small when barbecuing.

This is also a way of catering in Tengchong. The pottery pots used look like Tengchong's volcanoes and hot seas. Burning charcoal in a clay pot is called "volcano", and cook the meat cuisine around it is called "sea of fire". The form is novel, but I really don't know what's strange.

It is understood that three drops of water is a banquet with a long history and high grade in Tengchong. A drop of water is actually a good dish. The first drop of water is snacks and appetizers. The second drop of water is a local specialty-eight bowls; The third drop is dessert and fruit. Why is it called three drops of water? Actually, I don't understand. Do you know that?/You know what?
