After beating the local tyrant, Liao Changyong waved his hand juicy, and threw down the sentence "Just arrange the teaching tasks that should be arranged before going to Yunnan", and then left in style.

Only Li Jinglin was left in a daze.

After being stunned for a long time, Li Jinglin finally shook his head and returned to the school office with a smile.

After sorting out the recent arrangements, Li Jinglin did not rush to southern Yunnan.

It is the same as Luo Shiyao's previous preparations.

Start with folk customs, and remember the folk culture of local ethnic minorities one by one according to the routes recorded in the investigation.

Entering the countryside and following the customs has been the etiquette of the Chinese nation from ancient times to the present.

The great unity of the nation is precisely based on mutual respect, learning with an open mind, and tolerance and acceptance.

Far apart.

Li Jinglin, who is from the northeast, naturally knows that after going to the southernmost place, the differences between cultures are extremely easy to offend if he is not humble and cautious.

Not to mention the difference between the customs of the north and the south of the same Han people.

The cultures of ethnic minorities are even more different.

Even if they belong to the same family, they all have their own culture under different branches.

In addition to respect, the rigor of academic records is also a quality that a scholar should have.

The first stop is the Red River in southern Yunnan.

Luo Shiyao and his entourage formed an expert group to study and record, and they have set off for Shiping, which is more than 2,000 kilometers away.

There is one of the many ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan, a branch of the Yi ethnic group.

Red Yi.

The altitude of Shiping County is outrageous.

260 meters or so.

to around 2500 meters.

The Red Yi people, a part of the original people, live in the mountains of more than 2,000 meters, belonging to the alpine zone.

In terms of economic status, it is classified as "particularly poor".

In the three levels of poverty, ordinary, average, and extraordinary

belongs to the most serious batch.

However, the development of poverty alleviation work has made the Hongyi here take off the hat of poverty and enter the food and clothing line.

And this incident happened just when Li Jinglin just returned to China.

Li Jinglin is really curious about the lives of the Shiping Hongyi who have just taken off the hat of poverty and developed in the past few years.

In the past 20 years of poverty alleviation, miracles have happened almost every year.

Poverty alleviation for ethnic minorities is very difficult.

In the process of escaping poverty, how to preserve the local customs and culture as much as possible has become the most fatal task.

The simplest, most trouble-free, and most cost-effective way is to directly move the Yi people away from the mountains.

But this kind of treatment is not something Huaxia will do.

The battle of poverty alleviation must be fought, and folk culture must be preserved.

None of the other can be put down.

Thereupon.

Roads, traffic, electricity, and networks.

In the process of gaining an in-depth understanding of the cultural customs of ethnic minorities in the border areas, Li Jinglin was deeply shocked by these miracles.

This is really a great use of collective power to help and support.

Perhaps, an inconspicuous mountain, a tribe of hundreds of people.

However, in order to retain the unique original ecology and cultural customs formed here, it can also allow people to be fed and clothed and modernized.

Just one "network" has gathered five groups such as China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom to send the network into the mountains.

Experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences went to the countryside in batches several times to personally inspect the local environment and crops, and while thoroughly spreading out more scientific and high-yield crops, they even retained hundreds or even thousands of local traditional crops.

Geologists come to explore mineral resources, water resources.

The traffic is through the 323 line, west to Yunnan Lincang, Xishuangbanna, provincial highway Gaohong Highway, south to the Red River, north to Yuxi to the sea, through the north and south of Shiping County.

One word, dry.

Even if you live in heaven, this road must be built for you today.

In 2005, the GDP was 1.4 billion.

In 2014, the GDP was 5 billion.

Since 2018, when the poverty hat was removed, to the present, the GDP here is.

14 billion.

And now.

Various experts in the field of culture and art have gradually penetrated into the folk along with the overall grand strategy.

It's called "running around the country to see if everyone can eat enough and have a good time".

After doing your homework.

Li Jinglin left for southern Yunnan.

All the way to Shiping.

After arriving at Shiping, he finally met with Luo Shiyao.

The expert group that came together included nearly 20 people from all walks of life in the field of culture and art.

After seeing Li Jinglin's arrival, the experts nodded to Li Jinglin with a smile, said hello, and continued the work at hand.

"That's what they are."

Luo Shiyao smiled.

"Research during the day, summarizing records at night, and discussing from time to time, it's all crazy."

"Of course I do."

Li Jinglin couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

If you don't have real experts buried in real work.

So how can there be room for the "brick family" to decorate their calves?

If you always go into the "public eye", how much time do you have to study what you do?

Most serious experts, that's just a last resort, occasionally go on TV.

In contrast, even the low-key self who often disappears is not a serious expert.

"You brought the piano with you?"

Luo Shiyao was a little shocked.

Help Li Jinglin pack up his things.

There is a piano case on the left, a satchel on the right, and one on the back.

"Oh, yes."

Li Jinglin sat down nearby.

"I brought a piano, some simple tools, scores, books, and two sets of underwear in my backpack."

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

“.”

Luo Shiyao couldn't help but start complaining.

"You can take care of your piano yourself, if something happens to that thing, we can't afford to add a piece."

"Haha, it's not a big problem, we have insurance."

“？”

Li Jinglin stood up and hurriedly urged.

"Hurry up, order the local food on the hour, and see what I can do."

"Some need you, I've been stuck in music recently, just waiting for you, the big expert, to come!"

Luo Shiyao pursed her lips and walked out with Li Jinglin.

Stop.

When I went up to the altitude, it really didn't feel right.

But after all, it's young, it's just a little bit, and it's not a big problem.

However, a few other experts and professors were a little offended.

"Did you record the Yi culture first?"

"That's right."

Luo Shiyao sighed.

"There are a lot of branches, Huayi Yi, Red Yi, Black Yi, even such a branch as Red Yi, the language and culture of different regions are slightly different, and the others are okay, but the people who are engaged in language research and music research are miserable."

"It's nothing miserable."

Li Jinglin smiled and shook his head.

"Quick, go take a look, I'm curious."

"Elbow!"

With Luo Shiyao's introduction, Li Jinglin also began to have some understanding of the local area.

In the evening, I was just about to start working.

I heard that there seems to be some activity tonight.

After running out with Luo Shiyao, I found that tonight's activity was dancing.

Sure enough.

I was able to sing and dance, and I belonged to it.

"Huh? Is this a skipping string? ”

Looking at the two cigarette cases in the hands of the uncle not far away, Li Jinglin asked curiously.

"Huh? You know a lot, and you're an expert. ”

Luo Shiyao patted Li Jinglin on the shoulder.

Dancing strings, this is a kind of mass folk dance of Hongyi, this dance, adults and children love to dance.

There's even a local saying about it.

"When I hear the sound of the four strings, my feet itch."

This kind of dance has existed since ancient times.

The primitive religion originated in the primitive society, and is closely connected with the Bimo culture of the Red Yi and the thirteen-month Yi calendar.

It was not until the Yuan Dynasty began to flourish that the Ming Dynasty was very mature, and the Qing Dynasty reached its peak later.

Later, it was discovered that the cigarette box could replace the wooden board to play the rhythm, so the use of the cigarette box to beat the rhythm became popular.

Therefore, this dance is also called the "cigarette box dance".

It is a very primitive, ancient, and very characteristic mass folk dance.

Cigarette box dance, that is, dancing strings.

The sine is the mother, the miscellaneous string is the child, and in the folk custom, the sine must be danced first, and then the miscellaneous string.

Li Jinglin couldn't help but be interested.

Don't say it, take a closer look.

The other experts also put down their work and came out to join in the fun.

It's not that I like to join in the fun.

It's really because the cigarette box dance is so distinctive.

The language of this dance shows the local people's view of history, morals, values, and way of thinking.

It has high research value in many fields such as folklore and society.

"Yo, Professor Li, are you here too?"

A thin old man with glasses walked up to Li Jinglin.

"Hello, I've heard Lao Pei talk about you many times, like thunder, the next research work may need to deal with you more."

"Don't dare, Professor Ma, hello."

Li Jinglin hurriedly shook hands with the little old man.

The little old man in front of him, of course, Li Jinglin had already understood it in advance.

This is an expert in folklore, Ma Jianwen.

He is always a good friend and old classmate of the archaeologist Pei.

After all, archaeology also needs to deal with folklore, and it is very common for the two to often meet in private.

"Hey, young man, be crazy, when I was your age, I was crazy, you are"

It was beyond Li Jinglin's expectations.

Professor Ma communicates with himself very politely and respectfully.

But his own reaction seemed to dislike Professor Ma.

Even muttered.

"Alas! Premature aging. ”

“.”

Li Jinglin was numb.

Know that experts may have some odd temperaments.

But I never expected Professor Ma to be like this.

How did this urinate with Pei Lao into a pot?

"Ahaha, the little old man muttered casually, Professor Li, don't be weird."

Professor Ma happily put his hands behind his back and looked at the men, women and children who began to dance not far away.

Especially when I saw a few professors who were not that old and fit in perfectly.

I couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and there was a sour feeling in my tone.

"Alas, if it weren't for the fact that my legs can't jump now, I'll have to let them know what a dancing king is."

“？”

Li Jinglin was numb.

This little old man was not tall, thin, wearing glasses, and looked polite.

When you say this, it doesn't match your painting style!

"You young man has a good waist and good legs, why don't you accompany your family to jump?"

"No, really not!"
