I have been in love with the ancient city of Lijiang for a long time, but I just have no opportunity to get close to this small town. So this little dream has been brewing and fermenting in my heart. Finally, last summer, I embarked on a colorful journey to Yunnan. After arriving in Kunming, I went straight to Lijiang without stopping. This ancient town quietly interprets its ordinary story every day. I am just a passer-by in a hurry.

When I arrived in Lijiang, I hurriedly left my luggage in the inn and headed straight to the ancient city. Finally, I saw the ancient city of Dayan, which I dreamed of.

The ancient brick and wood houses were next to each other, and they were already tilting slightly, and the tilting was carefully passed on one after another. The streets paved with stone can't carry too much of the past and are a little sunken. The greasy five-flower stones have long lost their edges and corners. Stone paths pass through the streets and alleys with trickles of running water, so they are strung together. Streets and households are lined up.

Living in a courtyard house, whenever night falls, I sit in the courtyard of the courtyard house, looking at the dazzling stars in the sky, and the midsummer wind that seems to be a little exaggerated and chilly, quietly listen to the innkeeper's story about his travel experience and travel views. That feeling gives people who are used to living in the city a long-lost comfort. Living in the city, the night sky seems to no longer have the color of night. It is like an iron curtain and is as indifferent as the people of the city. However, in Lijiang, you can clearly see the bright shining stars!

In such a quiet town, I don't need to wear a mask to play on a night with stars and moons, nor do I need to indulge myself in the luxury of life and get lost in the noise of the day. Choosing to resist when being invaded is of course a difficult survival, because the heart is not a stone, it is easy to get injured and bleed easily. Fortunately, there is still a starry night, so I can face my wounds alone.

When the green vines recover and the music from heaven floats, they may heal as before. I remember Tagore saying: "You miss the stars at night, and you will miss the sun in the morning." In Lijiang, you will not only not miss the stars, but also the morning sun! In the morning, the diligent cock will definitely wake you up from your virtual dream!

Carrying a simple backpack, I walked through the mountains and rivers of Lijiang alone, but I could not describe them in detail and detail. The reason why I love and travel through it is not for the scenery that can be depicted, the strange peaks, strange rocks, and the beautiful mountains and rivers. Just, just looking for something close to my soul. They are like poems and picturesque, existing between mountains and rivers.

During the long journey, everything is like a song and a song of the past, drifting ethereal between the mountains and rivers. At such moments, I could feel the artistic conception of being far away from the humble and dusty mountains and rivers. It was actually a melancholy feeling, an epiphany after helplessness. It is closer to the essence of life.

Whether it is the everlasting snow-capped mountains, the boundless virgin forest, the blooming grassland, or the ancient city surrounded by clear canals, when I confirm them with my feet, they are abstracted into a simple and vast calligraphy in front of my eyes. That calligraphy is full of open-mindedness. It is the source of wisdom in the universe and the only way for our small lives to reach the spiritual paradise. As stubborn as me, I must always be in it to gain constant understanding.

Mountains and rivers can calm the secular state of mind. The so-called opening of the heart must be in the clear wind and bright moon, or when birds sing in the mountains and streams. Real temples are built in the mountains. Cloth clothes floated from the clouds. Mountains and rivers can wash away dust. Even the Jing Ke-style farewell was singing with the sword on the riverside where the wind was blowing and the water was cold. Therefore, the sages said that mountains and rivers are far away from the humble and dusty world.

I used to like mountains and rivers, but after arriving in Lijiang, I loved the food culture here even more! As a modern person, I always feel that I am in an awkward state of spiritual survival. In order to save, and perhaps to temporarily escape, I chose to indulge in the open-mindedness given to me by the mountains and rivers. For the time being, I regarded myself as an innocent and innocent child, regarded the mountains and rivers as a paradise on earth, put aside all the troubles in the world, and sang The ethereal folk songs like the mountain breeze, looking for the romantic songs of weeds among the mountains and rivers, feeling the colorful Naxi folk customs among the Naxi girls wearing stars and moons, and understanding the mysterious Dongba culture in the paradise.

I don't know if I will have the opportunity to come to Lijiang in the future, and I don't know if Lijiang will be so pure and beautiful after coming again. I only know that when we found Shangri-La, we were losing Shangri-La at the same time, because these beautiful things are in the face of human money goals, we can only face the fate of gradual disappearance.

I only hope that one day, I can still hold a glass of beer like this, sit leisurely under the willow shade by the small bridge in the ancient city, and share this peaceful and peaceful moment with people of different skin colors and languages around me. Appreciating the ancient small bridge, listening to the gurgling water, and accompanying ordinary people, I don't know if I will still be intoxicated at that time? Enchanted in Lijiang.
