The eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan are the embodiment of local natural culture in folk customs.
1, hat on backwards
This monster is talking about Huayao Dai, a nation that "opposes wearing hats". "Huayao Dai" is the common name of Dai people living in Yuanjiang and Xinping. Because the most striking purpose of every Dai woman's clothing is an embroidered colorful waist seal, it is named "Huayao Dai".
It is not an exaggeration to describe the clothes of young people living in Yuanjiang and Xinping counties with beauty. There are two sets of black tube skirts with hemming: inside and outside, waist hoop several times, colored ribbon around the waist, black coat with long sleeves, red cuffs, silver bubbles around the neckline, red scarf tied on the head, and finally "wearing a hat backwards".
2, flowers as vegetables
For an edible plant, people generally only consider eating its roots, stems, leaves, fruits, seeds and so on. But they don't consider eating its flowers. Therefore, it is very strange that people in Yunnan eat flowers as vegetables and are serious. The custom of Yunnan people eating flowers has a long history and has continued to this day. According to a survey conducted by the National Plant Research Office of Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan often eat more than 160 kinds of flowers. Most people in Kunming have eaten a cake made of yellow flowers mixed with flour and eggs and fried in oil, commonly known as "HuanghuaBaba".
3. Eggs are purchased in bundles.
"Eggs tied to grass" sounds curious, but it is not practical. If you go to the mountainous areas of Yuanyang, Lvchun and Jingping, the phenomenon of "selling eggs and tying grass" can be seen everywhere.
First, tie one end of some hay together to make sokcho look like a radial claw. Putting an egg in a "paw" and tying it horizontally with grass is equivalent to letting several "fingers" hold the egg tightly. In this way, they are tied up one by one until they become a string. After being tied up, some are strip-shaped and some look like candied haws. At first glance, they thought it was some kind of folk handicraft.
Girls wear flowers all the year round.
Flowers in Yunnan cannot be counted by flowers, plants and pots, nor can they be measured by pieces, blocks and gardens. Flowers in Yunnan, once crazy, needed a kilometer, and the number of mountains was really all over the mountain. Flowers in Yunnan don't care about people's appreciation and admiration. For 365 days, they can open whenever they want, and once they open, they will never stop.
5. Three grasshoppers and a dish
It is a dispensable snack for Yunnan people to eat grasshoppers, but for a kind of food and need, grasshoppers are big.
Gather the captured grasshoppers, then pour them into boiling water, close the lid and increase the fire. After the grasshopper turns from green to brown, it is taken out and dried, and its wings and feet are removed. When eating, it is generally fried with vegetable oil, which is crispy and delicious. It is a delicious dish to accompany wine and entertain guests.
6, straw hat as a pot cover
The south eighteen eccentrics use straw hats as pot covers. "At first glance, on second thought, the straw hat is a shelter from the wind and rain. How can it be used as a pot cover? This means it is thick.
7. There is another piece at the back of the shoe.
The rural women who go to the suburbs of Kunming wear a kind of big flowered cloth shoes, which looks like a boat with the faucet upturned, commonly known as "dragon boat shoes". Different from ordinary shoes, dragon boat shoes have a piece of cloth on the heel. There is this cloth at the back of the shoe for the convenience of wearing shoes, which is similar to a shoehorn with shoelaces at any time. Grab the cloth by hand, lift it conveniently, and put on the shoes. But also for decoration and beauty.
8, bamboo tube as a tobacco pouch
It is not surprising that the bamboo tube is a pipe. Bamboo is lush and smoky, and bamboo and smoke are together.
9. Worship of fire and water before God
From ancient times to the present, the ancient heritage of water and fire worship has been preserved in Yunnan minority areas. Water is the source of life. Water can kill the living, but it can also destroy people in a roar. Perhaps it is the coexistence of water cultivation and destruction that makes childhood human beings feel both love and fear about aquatic products. Through myths and legends, this kind of water with great temperament is endowed with the spirit of God, praying for water to bring peace, prosperity and happiness to mankind. Therefore, it is inevitable that there are myths and legends about water worship all over the world. There are also many Wang Long temples in Yunnan that offer sacrifices to water gods, including Raytheon and Shining God. The water gods of Black Dragon Pool in Lijiang River offer sacrifices to Wang Long, Raytheon and Shining God.
10, worn in the same season.
For people who come to Kunming for the first time, the first strange feeling this city gives them is probably all kinds of clothes on the street. During the day, some people wear thin shirts and skirts, some people wear sweaters and windbreakers, and some even wear cotton-padded clothes or cotton vests, which are varied and hot and cold, making people dizzying.
1 1, ceiling of the house
The four seasons in Kunming are warm and sunny, and people can't tell spring, summer, autumn and winter.
12, don't say songs if you have something to say.
Among the ethnic minorities in Yunnan, there are countless people who use songs to express their feelings and decide lifelong events.
13, Baba calls it bait block.
"bait block" is a special term for food made of rice, and the explanation in Shuo Wen Jie Zi is "bait and powder cake". "The words of the bait are as firm as jade." When making, the rice is steamed first and then mashed to keep the original gluten of the rice, and the food made is the "bait".
14, the train is not as fast as the car.
Because Guizhou, Yunnan is mountainous, the train has to climb mountains and cross many tunnels, and the curve is not fast, so I feel that the train is not as fast as the car.
15, stones grow beyond the sky.
The stone forest seems to be nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon, with bamboo shoots jointing and bamboo growing. The general trend and bearing of the stone forest, the peak of the stone, the halberd, and the blade of the sword stab the cloud, one by one, and the cloud breaks without residue. Why did the stone grow into a forest? This area is located in the center of karst landform in the eastern Yunnan Plateau, which belongs to typical karst landform and is called "karst landform". 62% of the land in Shilin County is covered by limestone, which is a typical karst area. In other words, the "growth" of Shilin County is mainly due to the role of water. Surface water and groundwater are like unremitting meat cutters. For 270 million years, soluble limestone has been carved into forests one by one. Therefore, it is not the stone that rises from the water and then slowly grows into the clouds to grow into a forest, but the forest is formed due to the dissolution and erosion of water over the years.
16, buy tofu on fire
The ancestor of tofu was in China, and China people first invented tofu. But looking through the recipes, the word "burning tofu" is "nothing in the canon, nothing in the spectrum", and it can be said at the earliest that "there is no other place in the canon". To be exact, the tofu that can be "sold" is mainly "South Yunnan tofu" because of its unique production technology, because it uses well water to order tofu instead of brine.
17, the rope is faster than the boat.
The rivers in Yunnan are fast-flowing, so it is dangerous and time-consuming to go down the slope by boat, and the zip line is done in one go.
18. How high is the mountain and how long is the water?
In short, the geographical features of Yunnan are profound, inclusive and accurate, and the pictures of Yunnan Jueling, the trickle map of springs and streams, "There are terraced dams in the mountains and red river springs in the valleys" have all been taken care of. The unique geographical phenomenon of "how high the mountain is, how high the water is" refers to Hani terraces. Ailao Mountain is rich in water resources with gurgling springs and flowing water.
There are many strange phenomena that cannot be explained.
China has a vast territory and many nationalities, so there are many "eighteen eccentrics" in the country, such as:

Men dye their hair and dress up as "foreigners", while women talk anxiously like a game with their belly buttons outside their clothes. The more they talked, the more they wanted to sell "mala Tang", and they felt uncomfortable without eating small noodles, so they climbed the hill.
