A few days ago turned unwittingly reading a former "reader" above an essay called "Twenty to twenty-first century dream of a place." China has three places where the author desirable. In the second row is the Mount Everest, I was privileged to witness in the summer of 2000, I will never forget her elegant demeanor; third is the Jiuzhaigou, that fairy-tale world is also the summer of 2002, deeply imprinted in me mind; fourth is the Lugu Lake, is described in the article: The intoxicating blue lake the lake, sit in the lake of the goddess of mountains beautiful and intoxicating, Mosuo people take marriage customs are also very mysterious longing. See here, my thoughts can not help but fly thousands of kilometers away in Yunnan, Sichuan plateau at the junction of Pearl - Lugu Lake.
Time back to the summer of 1999 to see enough of decorated with flowers and expo, me and my two companions met in Kunming and Xiamen University, westbound girls together, gone through a "romantic" in the ancient city of Dali and Lijiang Naxi Finally, we wear over the mist-shrouded mountains, to a matriarchal society in China the last location - Lugu Lake.
Car to Lugu Lake is 20 o'clock, and then the black days has not been fully exhausted, and looked out the window, each hotel is a compound formed by a wooden structure, and flags flying, people find it very quiet. We live in the name of the hotel called "Inter-Shuiyun Mosuo people," it is a three-level Mu Lou. The main entrance of the compound on both sides of a souvenir shop, walked into the right side of the compound is a restaurant on the left is the wash place, while the central open space is a parking space. The first floor is a place to live attendant, second and third floor is a visitors room. We live in the middle of a three-tiered Triple-ri, which all things are made of wood, the house exudes waves of faint scent of wood. Windows open towards the lake, out there tree whose leaves are almost dazzling quickly out into the house, the lake in less than five meters away from the squatter areas. Listening to the voice of the lake shore beat, I think, if the existence of a paradise, where it wants to.
After dinner, followed by the boss Zou Hui - a 24-year-old, it seems only a beautiful 18-year-old girl - to participate in a hotel courtyard in another bonfire at the party. The village is also quietly began to become excited about. Mosuo dressed in costumes, big girl, boy, in the Flute accompaniment, cheerful foot jump around the bonfire dance, so the next visitors can not help but jumped up. Mosuo people's singing voice is also very talented, popular, national, previous, modern, coming out from their mouths are all people feel that it is listening to Sound Of Nature.
The evening returned to the hotel, we and the hotel manager, Ma Yu chat, perhaps not very far away from age, we quickly became good friends. Day he told us of the mysterious customs Mosuo: Mosuo who may be descendants of the Mongols, but some people say yes, or the Yi branch of the Naxi, since hundreds of years ago they came to this fairy-tale place, they would has lived until now. They are a matriarchal society still has a full customs, do not marry men and women do not marry and implement a system to go marriage. Kids grow up from childhood with his mother, but also with his mother surname, women are masters of power at home. Speaking of, where we understand why Zouhui is the boss, but cousins of the Ma Yu was her housekeeper and manager. Ma Yu went on to say: By the time the children mature, will hold a special rite of passage, announced that they can make, "Assia", that is, to pay for men and women can be friends. Since then, as long as agreed upon by both men and women, boys on the girls after dark quiet home, put shoes on the girls outside the boudoir in order to show some people already living, and then entered the house overnight. Next day does not shine, the boys and then quietly returned to their mother's home. During the day we all normal stem their work, others are basically impossible to know who and who is the male and female friends. If you have children, the man is basically a bit of responsibility are not. After listening to his presentation, we feel a special magic, and perhaps those of us in modern society with the vision to look at their lives, we will never know the meaning of simplicity and nature. But they are such quiet life for centuries, until today. "Oriental Women's Country", and indeed well-deserved reputation.
Lugu Lake to see the next day, with a sapphire to describe her is extreme. Zhu Caochuan sat on the waves in the lake, hand-touch lakes, mild and delicate, making people feel thoroughly refreshed heart. The lake's aquatic plants one finishes a swing of the duke wanted to jump off saw could not help but embrace them. Looking around, enchanting mountain goddess quietly watching us. Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, Hongshan camellia, blue water, like a flower Mosuo girl Mosuo handsome young man, listen to the refreshing of the folk songs, if the board can continue to lie, I would never want up.
I used to have a wonderful journey, I have been, but it left me hastily away. If God give me another opportunity to choose, I will say the lake --- I will see you again, be sure ... ... ...
