215. Touch history with inspiration

Early the next morning, before the sky was completely bright, Shandan and Gu Haiping got up to the cheerful singing of birds, washed up lightly, greeted Ah Xia, and told her that the child was still sleeping, and they were going out for a walk, and they would come back later, and asked Ah Xia to pay attention to the child's movements.

In the morning breeze, the twilight of the hazy sky two hand in hand to the ancient city, see the majestic figure of the gatehouse in the distance, this thousand-year-old city in the morning light presents a quiet, simple, thick sense of historical vicissitudes.

Walking in the neat and ancient streets of the ancient city, stepping on the glittering multicolored stones that countless people have walked through throughout the ages, rows of houses quietly waiting for the sun, waiting for modern people who come here to touch history, waiting for the passage of time at sunrise and sunset, they have been quietly waiting here for thousands of years, ushering in how many safe and restless souls have been sent? They soothe every living creature that passes by, they quietly look at the prosperity and desolation of the world, and every day they are surrounded by mountains and are admired by people all over the world.

On this cool autumn day, here they come. Their souls sunk in the mortal world are here, and they walk hand in hand, trying to find that long-lost peace in this thick historical stay.

Walk slowly, ten fingers intersect, silently walk, silently feel. Their minds are often clear to each other in a breath, a glance and a thought, and often without words, they already know each other.

There were no bystanders on the streets, and the crowd of people who had reveled were still asleep. Only the two of them strolled through it, as the sky gradually brightened, they had walked through half of the ancient city, to the hustle and bustle of the square street on weekdays, a small square, the surrounding shops were still sleeping, looking at the empty square, the solemn historical imprint in the silence was undoubtedly revealed in the morning light.

The square street is paved with colored stones, and the market only opens at noon, and the streets are washed with clean water in the evening: it is famous for its unique streetscape in the twilight washing field.

Being in it, it makes people feel as if they have stepped into the prosperous scene of "Qingming Riverside Map". In the ancient city, a large area still maintains the characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties, "three squares and one wall, four and five courtyards, and corner buildings" are lined up one after another, which not only highlights the structural layout, but also pursues carved and painted decoration, the exterior is clumsy and the interior is beautiful, exquisite and ingenious, and Chinese and foreign architectural experts praise it as "the folk house museum".

The square street is surrounded by green hills, the dam is as wild as satin, and the spring water lingers, which is like a jasper inkstone. The street was built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, according to legend, because the hereditary prefect of Lijiang is surnamed Mu, it is taboo to change the word "sleepy" after building the city wall, so the city wall is not repaired. The urban area is centered on Sifang Street, radiating four avenues, each of which is accompanied by alleys and alleys, which extend in all directions, and there is no dead end. Regardless of the size of the street, the pavement is paved with five-color stone slabs, after nearly a thousand years of grinding, the stone pattern is fully displayed, it is very chic and beautiful.

Most of the residential communities are close to the mountains and rivers, and the streets and trails follow the mountains. From the foot of the elephant mountain, the Yuquan mountain water flows to the city head under the double stone bridge, the diversion of 3 strands stretches to the southeast, forming countless small tributaries, passing through the streets and alleys, turning thousands of households, and there are countless small stone bridges on the water. Most of the residential houses are tiled houses, most of them are three squares and one wall, the patio is square, the corridor is spacious, the doors and windows are carved with flower and bird patterns, and the courtyard is planted with plants and flowers, which is elegant and open-minded.

Lijiang Folk Residence attaches great importance to the decoration of the house, and its focus is on the gatehouse, the wall, the verandah, the door and window partitions, the patio, the beam, etc.

There are three kinds of brick arch type, wooden lintel flat arch type and wooden frame type, and the brick arch gatehouse is mostly high in the middle and low on both sides of the three-drop water card style. The wooden lintel flat arch gatehouse is a three-drop water archway supported by wooden lintels and covered with bricks. The timber-framed gatehouse is mostly a double-slope roof, and the eaves are decorated with multi-layer flower boards and flower covers. There are generally three drops of water and two kinds of flat type on the wall of the dwelling, and the small wall of the inner verandah is mostly decorated with marble. The doors and windows of the house are decorated with wood carving patterns, such as black birds, flowers, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Bo stone utensils, etc., which are the products of the combination of function and art. In addition, wood, stone, and tile parts such as beams, heads, railings, column bases, legs, cornices, and ridges are also decorated. For example, the beam head of the large beam is carved into the head of a beast, commonly known as the "lion's head", and is also carved into a round drum shape, bottle shape, etc.

In the meantime, we can see the level of aesthetic appreciation and wisdom of the ancients, and all buildings are the presentation of natural beauty.

The two hugged each other tightly in the quiet morning light of no one on Sifang Street, hoping that time would freeze at this moment and no longer flow, so that love would stay and the world would be eternal. Their love has not been weakened by the passage of time, but has deepened day by day.

After ten years of marriage, slowly, they fell in love at first sight to later understanding, and the feelings and acquaintance index of the two were sublimated in embracing each other again and again. Their love has transitioned to spiritual and soul love.

As the sun slowly caressed every inch of the skin of the ancient city, the people in the shops began to move, and the streets and alleys began to be lively, and the two walked back hand in hand.

After Xiaoyu got up and had breakfast, the family slowly went to the ancient city.

Slowly wandering in the ancient city of the small bridge, flowing water, people's alleys and mo, arrived at the big stone bridge, next to a stone tablet, on the book "Lijiang big stone bridge" five big characters, weeping willows, big leaf banyan verdant and vigorous. Sitting by the bridge, blowing the breeze, watching people come and go, on the impetuous faces of the world, what I saw was a hurry, no one stopped to enjoy, just jumped on the bridge corridor one by one to take a commemorative photo.

At that time, Shandan and the unit went out to investigate, and often heard everyone say: get in the car to sleep, get out of the car to pee, and take care of it at the point. It seems that all Chinese are like this, neither will they understand the cultural history and characteristics of the destination before traveling, nor will they feel the beauty and difference with a little more heart when they arrive, just take a look, it seems that taking photos at the destination is a very important thing, so that they can show, show off and show off after returning. It seems that the vanity of the Chinese people has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

If you ask him about the customs and living environment, and a deeper cultural history, he will probably open his mouth and talk about him. He would only remember how many drinks they had in the bar, how many beautiful cuties they saw, what kind of petty things they had to add to the vinegar, and so on.

Gu Haiping took Shandan's hand and left this noisy environment. said: "Let's go to see the ancient commercial streets of Lijiang today and see the folk customs of Lijiang." ”

In the alley to the west, there is a Naxi (Mosuo people) family is cleaning up mulberry silk, a white silkworm cocoon soaked in the boiling water of a large porcelain urn, a Naxi grandmother scooped out the cocoons scalded by boiling water, and then peeled out one by one with a bow-shaped bamboo bow to support a net, a foot square thin curtain, layer by layer.

Another old woman wraps a slender silk around a polished bamboo skewer. The real scene of "peeling off the cocoon" alive, Xiaoyu can see it attentively.

It was also the first time that Shandan and Gu Haiping had met, and the family watched the daily life of several Naxi women with a few interested people around them.

The shop has all kinds of beautiful, silky finished products, scarves and clothes. There is no one to greet customers to buy anything, they just go about their lives step by step, and they have become accustomed to maintaining their primitive and natural way of life in the flashy eyes of modern people.

The Naxi ethnic group is the descendants of the ancient Qiang people, who migrated south from the Hehuang region in the northwest and merged with the indigenous people. After the twists and turns and development of the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, it flourished in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was the heyday of the Naxi people. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Naxi leader Ajia Ade "led the people to attach", and accompanied the Ming army to conquer the frontier, repeatedly made military exploits, and won the praise of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and personally gave the surname "Mu", allowing him to inherit the prefect of Lijiang Prefecture and actively support it. This kind of support policy of the Ming Dynasty has its profound historical background, when the Xizang power, which had been silent for more than a hundred years, became stronger and stronger, and often invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty vigorously supported the Mu clan and regarded the Mu clan as an important force in the "Jining border". The Mu clan Tusi coerced the prestige of the dynasty and raised troops, and since then the Mu clan has also become famous. The Naxi people have changed from a passive position in history to an active and enterprising character, leaving their own footprints in the course of history.

The Naxi people speak the Naxi language, and the script is Dongba: a hieroglyphic script that resembles the shape of an oracle bone inscription. The Naxi people are one of the three ethnic minorities in Yunnan Province who do not enjoy extra points in the college entrance examination. In recent years, the Naxi region has entered an era of rapid economic development; On the one hand, Naxi culture has gained an unprecedented reputation; But at the same time, the culture, traditions, and population of the Naxi people are fading at an unprecedented rate. According to the survey, less than 30% of the Naxi primary school students in the old town of Lijiang can speak the Naxi native language.

This is also a problem that many ethnic minorities have, the national character is gradually lost, the national culture and traditions preserved are becoming less and less, and the world is gradually converging and losing its identity.
