Lijiang for me

I always feel that there is a rather mysterious color and aura

Perhaps this mystery comes from its own important position in the southwest border

Perhaps this mystery comes from some books I have read, such as "The Ghost Blows the Lamp in Yunnan Insect Valley" that I just reviewed before setting off

The first stop in Yunnan was Lijiang. Many people have read the guide online and have some understanding of Lijiang. But today I want to talk about Lijiang's niche gameplay, and ensure that we can avoid crowded crowds and restore the most comfortable experience.

The oldest ethnic group lives here, the Naxi people. The Naxi people have the largest number of people in Lijiang. The Naxi people have their own national writing-Dongba hieroglyphs, and it is the hieroglyphs that are still in use today.

When I came to Lijiang, the streets were full of handicrafts about Dongba culture. Dongba Papermaking Workshop, Dongba calligraphy and painting, Dongba wind chimes, and even shawls also had Dongba cultural elements.

However, in Lijiang, these commercialized ancient towns lack an original flavor. People always check out a card like a cursory look.

In the Dongba Valley, there is a strong ecological atmosphere. The ethnic minorities living here include not only the Naxi, but also the Lisu, Talliu, Mosuo, and Pumi.

When you come to Dongba Valley Ethnic Village, you can see elements about Dongba culture everywhere. There are statues on the walls and pillars, and there is a Dongba character wall in the square leading to Craftsman Street. We can guess this word through lifelike calligraphy and painting.

Dongba Courtyard-is the traditional Naxi people with three squares and one light wall, and four in five courtyards. Dongba tells the story of the Naxi people, teaches us to read, and also presents us with a blessing. You can visit their grandmother's room and main room. In terms of structure, the main room is generally higher, facing south and facing the Zhaobi. It is mainly used for the elderly; the east and west chambers are slightly lower and inhabited by the next generation; the patio is used for daily use. It is mostly paved with bricks and stones and is often beautified with flowers and plants. It is completely traditional folk houses of ethnic minorities.

The facilities in the courtyard are old and it can be seen that it has a long history. After decades of wind and frost, this kind of courtyard is not seen anywhere else in Lijiang.

After experiencing Dongba culture in Dongba Yuan, you can also visit Dongba Calligraphy and Painting Store, key chains, etc. The price is not expensive. It is very memorable to buy it and give it to relatives and friends.

The original stockade has not been commercialized. Tourists can experience ethnic minority life here. When we were passing by, we happened to meet a tie-dyeing person. The enthusiastic staff asked us to participate in it. We also followed suit and experienced tie-dyeing. After a lot of trouble, the color finally dyed was very beautiful!

This trip was simply an unexpected receipt!

Of course, in addition to the Dongba Courtyard, there are four other ethnic courtyards. They went to check in one after another to discover many novel ways to play, such as the performance in Lisu Shanzhai-going up a mountain of knives and down a sea of flames. I've heard it before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes in my lifetime. I saw a long knife slicing straight into the sky, and a Lisu red flag was flying in the air. When we walked into Lisu's homes, there were artists playing musical instruments to welcome us. The sunshine was just right, and there were also singing musical instruments. I couldn't help but sigh: It turns out that the ethnic minorities have something to say and sing without singing. Today we only realized it.

After performing the program, we will start to truly perform on Dao Mountain. Before going to the mountain of knives, wizards need to have swords before going up. Then we climbed to the top of the knife shaft while beating the gong. At this time, we, the people below us, would follow us three times and pray for blessings.

The next scene was even more thrilling. The wizard stepped on the fiery red iron plow with his bare feet and licked it with his tongue. It was so thrilling ~

In the ethnic village, you can see the architectural styles, living customs and weaving aunts of the five ethnic groups. They have their own lifestyles, passed down from generation to generation. They have been working on this fertile land for thousands of years. No matter how the world changes, they still face life calmly.

The prayer flags fly here, the prayer wheel rotates endlessly, and the people here are also endless.
