The right hand is Erhai Lake, lapis lazuli blue, and the right farmland or villa is dotted with Bai villages. After traveling today, I will take you into Xizhou, Yunnan, and into the Bai nationality!

Go all the way to the west from Dali Road, and walk about 17 kilometers to see the signs of Xizhou Ancient Town. Then continue to drive along the road, and you will see a door of Xizhou Ancient Town. If you really don't see it, you can ask while walking. There are some places in Xizhou ancient town that charge fees, mainly the family homes of four families. Personally, I suggest that there is no need to spend that money to look at other people's houses, just look at them for free.

Xizhou is located 18km north of Dali ancient city, with Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west. It is one of the typical commercial market towns of Bai people, and it is less bustling and noisy in Dali ancient city and more quiet and leisurely in a rural town. Get up early in the morning, walk on the country road, fresh air, pleasant scenery, good pastoral scenery. I saw the rising sun, the rays of the sun, the sky dyed red and the fields green. It can be said that the scenery is not intoxicating: the sun shines on the path, and a carriage passes by; In the field against the sunrise, several tourists took pictures.

While watching the Bai cultural performances, we also drank three tea, a well-known Bai nationality at home and abroad. Although his best friend is Han nationality, he warmly entertained our party by drinking tea as a way for Bai people to entertain distinguished guests. In three tea of Bai people, the first course is roasted tea, which tastes bitter; The second tea is sweet with walnut meat, milk fan powder and honey. Three tea has the taste of ginger and pepper, which is called aftertaste tea. This is unique? Bitter head, sweet taste and aftertaste? Does the tea ceremony mean that life, like this three tea, is bitter before sweet and then aftertaste?

stroll through the alleys of the ancient town, visit the century-old house, carefully taste and deeply feel the historical and cultural heritage of the Bai people in Dali. Xizhou ancient town, known as the museum of Bai folk houses, not only absorbs the characteristics of Jiangnan folk houses in the architectural pattern, but also has its unique architectural artistic style, which is amazing. There are carved beams and painted buildings, portal arches, upturned cornices and gables in residential buildings. The decorative art of colored paintings is gorgeous and colorful, and its workmanship is simple and exquisite, which fully embodies the architectural talent and artistic creativity of the Bai people.

The Bai nationality's unique white wall with blue tiles on the zhaobi is quite elegant and rich in connotation. What are some of them? Purple gas from the east? 、? Canger Yuxiu? And other auspicious terms, more inscriptions with the owner's surname and family style, such as the title of Yang? Innocent family heirloom? ; Sifang Street is the center of Xizhou. There are many shops along the street, and the goods are dazzling. Even I, who don't like shopping, bought a little yellow chicken as a souvenir. There are many archways and gatehouses in the ancient town, such as the inscription square, Dexinfang, Kuige, Hanlin, Zhengyimen, etc., while there are many deep and quaint courtyards such as Yanjia Courtyard, Houjia Courtyard, Zhaojia Courtyard and Yinjia Courtyard. I can't talk about the past and present of the ancient town, but the houses that have been in disrepair for those years, and the wires on the street like cobwebs are a little regrettable.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that ancient buildings are traditional Bai folk houses, which can still be seen everywhere in Dali, a Bai autonomous prefecture. Bai nationality is recognized as the most important nationality in Yunnan, a multi-ethnic province, and this cultural tradition is also fully reflected in Bai folk houses. Besides craft, there are many traditional handicrafts such as wood carving (railings, stairs, windows, etc.) and painting (looking at the wall, etc.) in Bai folk houses. Every family's paintings, especially the couplets at the door and the inscriptions at the door, can show the family inheritance, such as whether there are old people and whether anyone is successful in school. Because the folk houses are still in use, even the new ones retain the tradition, so they have the feeling of seeing a living culture.

Xizhou Town is a very quaint town. When I went there, I was building a road, and there was a muddy road. The local people lived quietly, unlike Dali Ancient Town, which was commercialized by foreign countries. They kept the life of ploughing at sunrise and resting at sunset. At night, everyone had a rest on the board just after dark. A visit to Xizhou Ancient Town was really glad you came. As the saying goes, drinking three tea tasted life, and it was bitter and sweet to have a long aftertaste; Taking the square street and looking at history, we can feel more about the past than the present. Xizhou, a place that needs quiet experience. Spend half a day, walk slowly, see the Bai people's houses, tie-dye, understand the culture of Zhaobi, eat a little Xizhou Baba, and you will feel like you will blend in with this place, a desirable place, and I will come again.
