When we reached the lake in western Yunnan is dusk. Car along the winding mountain road, turned a bend, the vehicle of the people are cheering, Wang mysterious lake which suddenly has been cross-eyes now. Although the afterglow of sunset on the lake planted the orange chiffon, we still see at a glance out of the Lugu Lake's water is dark blue.
Tour guide took us into a doorway hung with "Mosuo House" brand of wood house hotel, in the corner of the courtyard, there is a black, low huts, it is the kitchen and the owner's house. I am on the third floor of a room facing the lake settled on the stepping on pound, down the stairs to eat. The plethora of dishes than I ever imagined, a little girl Mosuo face red tape of the dishes will be brought steady stream. People here on the hillside vegetables, from the lake fishing, but also raise the pigs, these pigs and horses ran together in the grassy meadow, those who run a small black pig on the ground looks like the same as a small black dog. Finished the fried potato cakes, and they do finish all the famous Yunnan, crucian carp shell fish (in fact the carp, but lower than in Shanghai carp tasty) soup, we went to half a kilometer away from the daughter of country hotels participate in bonfire party.
Already had a bunch of the courtyard is the busy bonfire, fire Yinghong everyone's face, visitors and locals Phi Hung Gualv hand in hand surrounded by a large circle, while there is a siren accompanied by a strong sense of accompaniment. We danced to the rhythm of the Guozhuang dance, this dance is simple, but it can bring tremendous happiness. Take two steps, jump jump, longer follow the step, we will follow the Mosuo girl blasted to stamp one foot, while shouting out "yo ho", again and again. Everyone began to euphoria, even if the jump the wrong beat, and will be happy going to Heaven and laugh. Position opposite to me, there is a long-haired girl sandwiched between two Guangzhou dance Mosuo collar guy, the jump in high spirits Feng Yang, the long hair swinging gracefully.
The next morning, we rode to the lake Zhu Caochuan wander, this canoe will only take five or six individuals at the helm sat a stern draw the main paddle, sitting in the bow of the visitors may be fortunate to get to another root paddle. Our boat slowly to the lake of the Serpent fled, the sky is blue tile, white duo as I was feeling free and light, the water is transparent blue-green. For us at the helm of the rudder po wearing a bright red headscarf, she was only 34 years old, while her daughter is 18 years old. She said she was most happy thing is that his daughter has grown up, you can take the marriage of. Lugu Lake's A marriage is a matriarchal society note the remains, they are the only basis for marriage is sexual gratification, men only at night to his beloved woman there. Child is living with his mother in the family, the uncle of the functions of the equivalent of his father. Mosuo big sister said: "You kind of marriage is not good, always want to quarrel, we are never here." Then she told us that after the end of last night's show, that Guangzhou girl and her dance around a collar Mosuo marriage of the young man away, suddenly feeling ran high, sitting in front of me "four eyes" is very greedy Tianzhuo Lian Po inquiries to the helm, he could not find a Moso girl walking marriage. Sister says Mosuo as long as she likes you, you can. Several men on board then began to attack him for "dung Grass Guide" (Kunming, then the "fecal grass" refers to the meaning poor), such an important program that actually does not describe to you, resulting in wasted Ge Jige finish off the night.
At the helm of the Mosuo Sister sang loud song to:
Qingqing of Lugu Lake,
Is surrounded by mountains,
Mountains above the clouds Shou
Daughter sing hey daughter sing,
Her daughter's voice who will listen,
Who will listen to Oh, mada honey.
We all revel in the songs, the Yaotoubaiwei to singing along, "mada honey." Then came a distant man, and song, that is another one on board Shaogong singing, and he is zoned to us here, obviously, he was a special trip to tell her that he wanted to hear her singing. Later, from the very close, and he sang another song, to the effect that his little sister affectionate brother, sister against brother, I do not know whether they intend to. Generous slightly hoarse voice sound good sung in his last sentence, second paragraph of Mosuo eldest sister and then began to sing, and love in the quiet prevailed. We are quietly enjoying everything.
Arrival at Snake Island, I clearly see the long grass at the bottom, Mosuo brother told me that before we can see something under water 10 meters deep, now than it once was. I am extremely devout to prayer and I hope the lake to escape the tourist crowd were eventually destroyed fate.
