The night is another city under the view of some. Row upon row of small wooden huts on the street was the entrance hangs a lantern mapping was red-scarred. Walking on the stone-paved streets, like stroll, feeling particularly good.
On the streets of the ancient city, there are two cinemas, hanging are "Naxi ancient music," to turn programs have different emphases. With ancient music of one of the main performer is the hair of the old people seventies; another was opened in the near future, but mostly to young people, Naxi ancient music and dance a combination of its features, the business is pretty good. Heard not so good to buy a ticket, he went there early and dance of that one.
A long porch on both sides of the exhibition with a symbol of Naxi life items and photos, decorated, very little ethnic flavor. Right on a Po, is a small courtyard, the side wall is a large mural of colorful folk. Through the courtyard, is a hundred-seat theater. Written on both sides of the cylinder, is the world's only living pictograph, Dongba paper. Therefore, Naxi culture, also known as Dongba culture. Younger ones, also formerly known beheaded duck head called the text, it is pictographic.
Stage background is pictures of the performance of Naxi Ren life. Naxi men and women dressed in their national costumes on stage Chuiladanchang, in the middle is also interspersed a number of country dances, enable visitors to experience a deep sense of Naxi ethnic flavor. Girls are pretty, and is a moderate, neither fat nor thin. Though it is not simple village girl, but in their eyes, facial expressions, and a move a formula, but reveals tremendous self-confidence and a vision of a happy life.
Only one, makes me feel na stuffy. How almost all the girls, this waist are so strong, thoracolumbar with thick, such as barrels in general. Careful observation, it found no traces of man-made decoration. Although the clouds with the big city as compared with woven beauty who, it seems that the curve in the body does not seem very comfortable, but also have a special charm.
Who is still wearing a hat, wearing Naxi ethnic clothing, a smile and eyes of male host on Micheng slit opened my mind to mysteries. In the long river of history, the Naxi people of this land for generations, hunting, farming, weaving, interest-bearing with, for the beauty of a woman gradually have their own unique understanding. As the survival, production and living needs, health is the highest in the United States.
A large waist of the woman, Ti Zhuang, health, force, able to engage in heavy physical labor. Girl, 15, six years of age, if there is a thick waist, and then every night after dark, the situation in front of the window one after another singing must be crowded. In the boy's eyes, the beautiful is the waist!
Thinking about this, this naturally has its own aesthetic logic. We know that Moso tribe still retains a matriarchal society. Naxi and Moso tribe living in the same regions, have similar historical origins. In some places, still retains a number of walking marriage customs. Of course a woman is the home of the main labor force. Survival in harsh environments, a large waist of the woman, definitely the kind of slender slender waist than in the city have more chances of survival.
In the warm applause, the show ended, and my mind was a long time can not be quiet, still immersed in the legend of the Naxi people, and happy life. In the taste of a lot of Naxi style, after they came to the streets of town. There are no busy city life during the hustle and bustle. Through cities of Qingqing stream, merrily flowing, the vague shapes of tea, Jiusi the blazing lights. Old Bridge crevice, actually growing in a Wo Wo thick weeds, the breeze gently sway in the waves. How beautiful Lijiang yo!
The next day, I shot an old lady when the Naxi, quietly squatted distance, and so on for a long time, and finally succeeded in capturing my ideal picture. Bridge, trees, a Naxi woman sitting in a small stool, face quiet and peaceful. Years left of his face is a deep mark on feet is to wear a thin line up with the fragrant flower. Look at the old lady's waist, at least, there are several bar three feet. Perhaps, she is the most beautiful woman in the Old Town of Lijiang has.
