Impression Lijiang
In the territory of the motherland, there is a magnificent gem, set in northwest Yunnan. That is the Lijiang Naxi Autonomous Prefecture. Here not only magnificent natural scenery, unique culture and more. As early as two thousand years ago, the Naxi ancestors is here flourish. Their glorious pass so far. That year, we have long been charmed Meet came to Lijiang, only a few days run-length, so I still unforgettable.
Autonomous Prefecture, 600 km from Kunming, the Mainland Jiaoyangsihuo, here is rainy, and only sixteen or seventeen degrees Celsius. First arrived, the cool highland air Qinru pure hearts, our spiritual multiplication.
Autonomous Prefecture, Lijiang City is the capital of Dayan Lijiang's old town is the cultural center, while the Square Street is the city's soul. Square Street Xi shape of India, from the Square Street out the four main street, main street, has forked out a number of streets, forming a complex network of city buildings. Strangers all likelihood will be lost.
The ancient city built in the Southern Song, Ming and Qing dynasties has been quite busy when. She relies on the mountain, wearing the water into the city. Article slab, the rainy day without water, sunny weather is not dust. Streets built along the water, women's laundry in the water and vegetables. Water repair wooden bridge. Sub-arched wooden bridge, and flat, there are wooden fence. Water criss-cross, forming water every family, every household has Chueiyang a unique character. The street is lined on both sides of the Naxi houses. Its structure more than a "triple screen wall, the Quartet the day well," a bit like the courtyard house in Beijing. But here is booming, and the courtyard are welcome, whether towards the open street. Now local residents more than the house opened into a paved street. Naxi with strong characteristics of the sale of food, crafts, or opening restaurants, cafes and restaurants. The sign for their multi-purpose Chinese, Dongba Pictograph as well as English. Warm hospitality of the Naxi Ren has been to the world to the world open their mind. We are fortunate to see the ancient city of the night after the rain. The street lamps and moonlight faintly scattered in the stone road, reflecting little bit of lin light. The air was filled with the refreshing taste, and accompanied by gurgling sound of flowing water, coffee's candlelight occasional exotic couples in the whisper. If it were not hidden, at times when the ear came the Naxi ancient music, I really would think that living in Jiangnan, or in Venice.
Naxi primitive worship of many, can be divided into two broad categories. The first concerns the forces of nature and natural objects of direct worship. Second is the worship of ghosts and spirits. On this basis, the relevant text of the ceremony and mouth Chung words and hieroglyphics with pictures recorded on the rise Dongba. Derived from the Dongba Religion of Dongba culture has a long history, the ancient Dongba script is the world's only remaining symbol an ancient text, known as the living hieroglyphic. Naxi ancient music is a Naxi Ren to the tourist an important way to showcase the national culture. Usually chaired by the respected old Dongba. The use of centuries-old nation has been instrumental, as well as folk dancing and singing artists. Especially in the face of the old Dongba sculptural in that round after round of weathered wrinkles, so that the audience invariably feel a heavy ethnic customs and cultural heritage. Traditional foods are Lijiang Naxi Ren Baba, chicken bean jelly beans. They love to eat ham and rice. Where in the cooked rice to put a few slices of ham, thrown into the salt, pour a little water and oil, with an earthen pot of water consumption will be dry. This rice heat, very suitable for human consumption plateau. Tastes sweet-smelling, and the solution saturated.
Naxi women's clothing a bit like a Tibetan women. Probably with the exigencies of the plateau. Characterized by cross-chest belt, back Phi Zhuiyou beautiful Seven of the sheepskin shawls, and some even added a sun and moon patterns. A symbol of their daytime.
In Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain has 30 kilometers north of the city. Morning we went with the tour guides. As early as I heard he was a small reputation of the Alps, today finally got to see the real Yan. His north-south direction, from 13 peaks composed of ice crystals Yujie, like 13 sword straight horizon. Peak year-round snow, deep in the cloud instead of dew. According to tour guides speaking, and elegant that the snow-capped mountains smile. When we arrived, just clever smile revealing snow-capped mountains, peaks, such as washing, silver flashes, we have big beaming, have photographed record of this rare moment. Across the baishuihe, Song Da, cable car arrived at the hillside of the Yunshan Ping. A flat natural grassland, surrounded by tall, imposing spruce. Distance towering peaks to misty. A time when in July, fresh green grass, dark green trees, white clouds, blue sky. Fundus is so pure that spring color. Forget all the distracting thoughts, mind becomes pure. No wonder the people of the world called here as the "Eastern Switzerland."
Back to the snow-capped mountains at the foot, into the Yufeng Temple. In this lamasery there are a "Camellia King." 600-year history, its crown area of 56 square meters, from the beginning of spring to the beginning of summer, has opened 20 times, each time more than a thousand Duo, so called "10000 Camellia." Plateau is really wonderful work.
Come to Lijiang, the Yangtze River First Beach is somewhat less than sorry. So we drove 30 kilometers from the town of Lijiang Zhi Fu Shek Kwu. First Beach is here. Jinsha, Lancang and Nu River, after the Three Parallel Rivers, from north to south directly toward the coming encounter Shek Kwu town, Meng a U-turn, turns north, forming a huge v word, toward the central plains, the Yangtze River to form the famous First Beach. Fast-flowing, rapids a lot, is a natural flat barrier. I walked the river bank, the immediate emerged out of an armored cavalry lots of picture. Yes ah, the year Red Army was here to cross the river; Kublai Khan suddenly Bridges often had mishaps Dali was in this battle. Good a place full of Zheng Chen.
Speaking of Shek Kwu, it is worth mentioning. Then there are two inhabited by the Naxi, the largest research and Shek Kwu. Suddenly must first strike out southward Shek Kwu, Shek Ku tribe in order to protect their homeland to resist and eventually die because of who were outnumbered. Dayan then the sum of the tribe from killing, to preserve so far. However, people still extremely large Shigu vitality stood up. After several hundred years of interest, Shek Kwu were increasingly tenacious.
Our tour guides are two simple warm Naxi guy. Along the way they are gushing about his hometown. Also invited us into their homes to enable us to appreciate the natural scenery at the same time, appreciate the Naxi Ren's style, they are kind-hearted hospitality, diligence and bravery. I asked them about the Lijiang earthquake, the "tragic enough, a ruin," tour guide to answer, and pointing out the window rows of tall buildings, said: "The whole city of Lijiang is built up after the earthquake." This is no wonder that people touched by such a tenacious and resilient nation is hit does not span. They're the ones that truly beautiful highland landscape.
In addition, there are hair-raising tiger jumped Kip area, in order to matriarchal Mosuo people famous scenic spots such as the Lugu Lake. Beautiful Lijiang blow people away. This is a plateau Pure Land, paradise, scenery pleasant, and the people honest. You will come to this troubled city, threw a back seat, retrieve the true self.
