Chapter 40: The Naxi "Artist"
"Auntie, I didn't come with my grandfather today, I came with Teacher Tang. Saying that, He Xueyue turned his head and smiled at Tang Bo who was beside him.
Tang Bo stood in place with a confused face, looking at the two daughters in front of him, and he didn't know what the two aunts and nephews in front of him were talking about?
"Teacher Tang?" He Minjuan glanced at Tang Silk next to He Xueyue, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a slightly strange expression: "Foreigner?"
"Hmm!" and Xue Yue nodded her head.
"Your grandfather, she ......" He Minjuan knew that the Tang Silk foreigners couldn't help but understand a little, and said softly.
"No, no, no......" He Minjuan didn't speak, and was quickly interrupted by He Xueyue. "No, Auntie. Mr. Tang is a very powerful person. And he's married. There was something wrong with him, and Grandpa agreed. Don't think too much about it......"
"Oh!" He Minjuan understood, and after answering, he turned his head and said politely to Tang Bo: "Teacher Tang, hello! I am Xueyue's aunt. Just call me Minjuan. ”
"Hello, hello. Sister Minjuan, hello!" Tang Bo heard that it was He Xueyue's aunt, and hurriedly nodded politely towards He Minjuan.
The long and narrow Dongba Valley stretches the entire village into a long and narrow street. The streets are lined with dwellings one after another. Although Dongba Valley is a sacred place for the Naxi people. However, there are not only Naxi but also Susu, Taliu, Pumi, Mosuo, and Tibetan ethnic groups in Dongba Valley. Houses of different nationalities and different architectural styles are mixed together, and there is a different meaning in it.
In the past, when the Ancient Tea Horse Road was prosperous, the streets were not only lined with houses, but also shops. The exquisite handicrafts of the Naxi people, the furs of the Tibetan people, the medicinal materials of the Lili people, etc., are all exchanged here.
And the decline of the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the decline of Lijiang are also doomed to the end of Dongba Valley.
"Shuming, who do you see coming?" He Minjuan pushed open the door and shouted to a middle-aged man sitting on a desk by the window, holding a pen.
I saw that the middle-aged man in the Naxi linen shirt turned his head slightly, and saw Tang Bo and He Xue Yue in front of him and hooked the corners of his mouth with a chuckle, "Xiaoxue, you are here! Who is this ......person?
Before Mu Shuming could finish speaking, he was interrupted by He Xueyue, who was blushing, "Ah, no, uncle, what are you talking about? This is my teacher......
Tang Bo, who didn't know Dongba language, didn't know what the group of them were talking about, but secretly looked at the environment in Aunt Hexueyue's house.
If you want to say that the Naxi people in Lijiang, who have declined because of the ancient tea horse road, are a little poor. Then, this can be regarded as miserable as Uncle Xueyue's house! It is simply a family with four walls, except for the stack of books, those pieces of furniture, and those scattered handicrafts, there is no other decent furniture.
"Hehe, young man, it's a foreigner!" the elegant Mu Shuming slowly stood up and smiled at Tang Bo in front of him with a smile in Mandarin.
"Yes......" Tang Bo nodded his head.
"What, dislike our family's poverty?" Mu Shuming's mouth gently hooked, a pair of wise eyes, staring closely at Tang Silk in front of him, and said lightly. There was not the slightest hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Ahh Brother Shuming, you misunderstood. ”
Tang Bo didn't think about it. He just secretly looked at it, and he found out.
"Actually. Our family is poor, and it doesn't matter if you dislike it. The facts are there, you should be from the big city!" Mu Shuming glanced at Tang Bo again.
Tang Bo nodded his head lightly, not knowing what to say, for fear that he would talk too much and offend this artist of the Naxi tribe.
That's right, Tang Bo thinks that the Naxi men in Dongba Valley are the artists in the Naxi people.
In his previous life, he had heard of Dongba Valley. This is a place where the Naxi people study and inherit the Dongba culture. The Naxi women of the valley went out to work to support their families. The men in the valley study Dongba script, study Dongba culture, carve, write, sing, dance, study philosophy, fine arts, and so on. Some Naxi families have not even reached the state of subsistence and clothing materially, so they study these spiritual things. Say they're not "artists" or what?
………………
Because he was mistaken for discrimination, Tang Bo was a little embarrassed to get along with Aunt Xueyue's family. After resting at her house for a while, she took He Xueyue back on the road.
It was still the Ancient Tea Horse Road, and Xue Yue looked at Tang Bo, who was a little lacking in interest, and then rushed to Tang Bo's side, as if he had made a mistake, lowered his head, and said softly to Tang Bo next to him: "Teacher Tang, I'm sorry." My uncle didn't mean that......"
At the end of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Tang Bo glanced at He Xueyue next to him, and then chuckled, "Silly girl, do you think I will take what happened just now to heart?
"Then Teacher Tang, ...... you" He Xueyue heard that Tang Bo was not angry, and suddenly became a little happy, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said to Tang Bo in front of her.
"I was just thinking about how to get Dongba Valley out of poverty and become rich!" Tang Bo, who was sitting on horseback, turned his body slightly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said contemplatively.
"Get rich ......" and Xue Yue's eyes lit up slightly, and she was even more happy when she was originally happy, staring closely at Tang Bo in front of her.
"Teacher Tang, are you saying that you can also make Dongba Valley the same as the ancient city?" He Xueyue's happy expression filled his face, looking at Tang Silk in front of him.
"No......" Tang Bo immediately refused. Looking at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that was getting closer and closer, he chuckled and said, "Lijiang Old Town has the living method of Lijiang Old Town. And Dongba Valley also has the living method of Dongba Valley. Two completely different places? Of course, the methods are different. ”
"Teacher Tang...... What are you going to do?" He Xueyue was like a curious baby, and asked Tang Bo in front of him.
She had seen Tang Bo turn decay into magical power. In the past, who would come to Lijiang, and who would develop what kind of tourism? Since Tang Bo told her grandfather that he would develop Lijiang tourism. One after another, a group of tourists came to the old town of Lijiang. It's not a lot of tourists, but it's a good start.
Now he is saying that he will help Dongba Valley get rid of poverty and become rich. And a different approach.
"When the time comes, you'll know......" Tang Bo confidently hooked the corners of his mouth and said mysteriously: "It's not all places." Lijiang has such unique conditions. Yes, tourism can also be developed there, but it is a satellite village of Lijiang after all. Another bigger industry is much more promising than the development of tourism. This can be considered one of the tourism industries, and it is not considered a tourism industry. ”
