After a day of car Britain rather, to Lijiang is 18:00. Irrepressible yearning for the ancient city, used the dinner rush, I set foot on the ancient city of stone road was smooth.
Night under the old city is quiet and busy, the shop front of the red lanterns hanging from a nostalgic old issue of the warm light, Zhayi entered, the suspect is back in ancient times the Yangtze River Delta. There are no hawkers, no loudspeakers the clamor, there is no roar of motor vehicles. Only bustling tourists leisurely stroll softly light gas bargain with the shopkeepers.
The ancient city of Bagua map was like, Square Street is the old city center, large and small shops built around the Square Street. A steady stream of stream cling to each city, each household one opened the window, you can see the creek and that the willows Graceful, hardworking Naxi women in this stream laundry, vegetables and the ancient city extending in all directions, but as long as you retrograde along the creek, you can out of the blocks. Clear creek bottom, not like the city garbage floating in the river, is always junk, living in this remote town so the people as much environmental awareness, believe it will make people ashamed of each city.
Ancient customs are simple, where merchants sell their goods in no hurry to just leisurely guarding a livelihood, to transcend taste of life. A wood products shop furnishings attracted me, the owner told me to say "hello" on the self-serving busy to go to his family on, and no large urban mall overly enthusiastic waiter service, felt very relaxed. I said to him, I do not shop, but very interested in his craft. He motioned me Banguo stool, to sit beside him. People here is such a gentle and considerate. Audio-visual products in a store, I have a box of fancy high price of the CD, require the owner to me Lyrics. Owner showing difficulty with color, saying that this cassette sub price is too high, sell less, the dissolution of the seal, if I do not want to lose money by. I told her that if Lyrics satisfied, I'll buy. Unfortunately, audition after that I decided not to buy, and when I handed her sorry to the band, is prepared to bear the supercilious look of her, she was still chatting with me gently, his face the color is not the slightest displeasure. This is the Lijiang people do, so simple, so virtuous. I think, in recent years become the world's millions of tourists flock Lijiang and to the land, with its simplicity and morals are inextricably linked.
Speaking of the ancient city, those located on a small stream, weeping willows, under a wide variety of bars to be the most attractive. A few days in Lijiang, my program apart from clubbing or a night clubbing. Here, "Mama Fu", "97", "up to Lydia," "Tibet House" were each longing for love with people in Lijiang. Back in 1998 I had a foreign magazine, read the full page description "Mama Fu" text. Rows of rattan or wood colored tables and chairs, covered with wax-dyed blue and white checked tablecloths, appear to be so elegant, simple. Come here do not forget to double the magazine racks for several volumes visitor guestbook Oh, That's a master of the treasure. Visitors from around the world have left footprints here. Travel diaries are left behind, there are left on the Lijiang praise, and some even dare to write made it clear that the hearts of love, of course, I do not understand a foreign language. I have seen a British boy of his travel notes written on the message book. He first written on paper that comes with the draft, and then copied in earnest in the guestbook, the copy finished check again, and finally smiled, like to see his masterpiece published in the journal like.
Bar owner said, came to Lijiang, do not listen to an ancient music playing, is a big regret. Of course, I can not let this trip regret. Dozen or so called "living fossils of ancient music," the old folk sit on the stage Chuichuidada artists, audiences enthusiastic response, unfortunately I do not know to appreciate. Commenting on Lugu Lake River host the Mosuo people to retain the present day "walking marriage" custom is "backward" when she introduced a revealing words: "modern stuff is not necessarily the best." Won the audience agreed with . Lijiang Naxi traditional men recite poetry Fu Zhi Zuo whisper good thing, but Shimoda crafts, housework and other menial jobs are reserved for his wife to do, so the men all of them have a trace of Lijiang, a "cultural air" and said the words out Sentences resounding.
Each came to Old Town of Lijiang, I have been passer-by, I really hope that we can stop, and makes a strange feeling of Lijiang's rhyme style. The next years, I opened the window to select a child can be beheld the inn to live down the Yulong Snow Mountain, taste Inn hostess personally do Naxi dishes, quality product with a stream of snow bubble tea, or in the warm sunshine under the trance.
