Afternoon, fell into the water to reach the village of Lugu Lake Crescent, we are roaming the land in the village, which is a quiet village, the villagers live a leisurely contentment, with the city people a completely different life. They are very friendly to tourists. Inadvertently pushed a lake called Lake Civic teahouse doors, outside the humble tea inside is decorated very personal. Shop owner in Sichuan to the Tang Bin, Yang Zhu couple, they are cosmopolitan, and every time a favorite scenic spot will be occupied for a few years, three years ago they came to the lake, fell in love with the beautiful natural scenery here, and pristine common social practice, so to live down, and opened only for tourist lake side chats, discussion of this tea in the teahouse on the second floor, we met many like-minded self-help travel enthusiasts: a journey from Shanghai You have just made from the Tiger Leaping Gorge to Lugu Lake of hiking, are here to rest in preparation for Return; a Hangzhou to university graduates through a friend introduced post-graduate prepared to test the three months before the time to stay here, is preparing the next day with a girl to ring in Chongqing to Lugu Lake Hiking; a Kunming to take advantage of university graduates in the margins of the orphanage came here to volunteer travel. The brigade anywhere in the Friends of the teahouse as a meeting place, we are here to talk about feelings, exchange information, quickly became friends.
Lugu Lake attracts many domestic and overseas tourists, in addition to its beautiful natural scenery, as well as the humanities mysterious color. Mosuo people living in the Lake still retains complete by the female-headed and female members of the heir of the matriarchal family, Mosuo people do not marry men and women do not marry, marriage and a lifetime living in two parent home, the implementation of walking marriage system, where has also been known as the "daughter of the country," a lot of tourists come here is directed at such a mysterious past. Of course, we would also like to explore what "daughter" secret.
To reach the lake the next morning, we are boarding the A Qing home for breakfast. One into the kitchen, the master on one of our bowl-brewed Duanshang Yi Ma Su-mile wine. Mosuo hospitable love wine, to eat barbecue at the Alan home, I was very surprised to see her family more than two years of a child due to a drunk while walking YY Lie Lie. Lugu Lake River Mosuo people who converted the house are new, but all retain the original kitchen, where her grandmother called rooms, which year-round health with firewood, you can get warm, a person who usually eat around the fireplace, fire next to a bed, is the highest seniority at home where his grandmother to sleep. We sat on Huo Tangbian tasting butter tea, listening to A Qing's uncle Mosuo people customs. The kitchen impressed me most was the side door of a dozen wooden layers, each layer have stood a rack of pork. Mosuo people focus on the end of each slaughtered pig, the pig bones, meat removed and then dried, Zhu Biaorou made available for use in peacetime to eat slowly, and some have already put the meat germanium than ten years, listen to them is put time longer tasty, but I beg to differ. I think that this age-old eating habits much to do with the backwardness of the previous standard of living. But now because of lake of the Mosuo people
Tourism income, living much improved, modern ever stronger, with the former have been quite different. In addition to very busy periods, usually Gejia turns rowing and the bonfire party sent to participate in performances, people live with a leisurely and relaxed. Conversation with the young people here, they said nothing to do in the village, young people expect to go all out sprint bare. Although the lake Mosuo people's lives are changing, but their unique culture and the simplicity of folk customs are still preserved, and many went out to go Mosuo people to adapt to city life can not go back again. Because it is low season for tourism that night we have to find a hard-won meals are sold, the Mosuo people, which there are several live guests in the dinner, we just sit down, there are a few tourists come to eat here , but the owners are saying that they are too many people busy themselves to, and introduce them to think of tea dinner lake, which is a modern commercial city where things will not happen. Some spend more time living in the lake visitors with the local simplicity of Mosuo people became good friends with, bear to leave. However, the open lake are receiving external challenges of modern civilization, ancient, unique Moso culture also kept it?
In the lake the second night, I went to Lake think of tea to go. Tang Bin was here, in the vicinity and found that most places is still very poor, many children out of school, then himself advocated the establishment of an education foundation to help children out of school to return to school and the local schools to improve educational facilities. Contributions are mostly tourists coming here. That night I went to inquire about student matters, listen to Tang Bin chat, then tea has been sitting in the corner of the two women travel from Shanghai also ran for the Friends want to listen to talk with us, everyone talked into the night. Many live in tea room guests cook their own food, Bin Tang has also been invited me to do the next night in the past few hometown dishes, I hesitated for a night, due to the time the next morning was gone.
