I envy the freedom and open-mindedness of ethnic minorities, and hope that one day I can live like them in the misty mountains, work from sunrise to sunset, and no longer worry about others' criticism and misunderstanding.

The land of ancient Yunnan, with high mountains and dangerous waters, is mysterious and mysterious. It has been a fascinating but daunting secret since ancient times. And Yuanyang in Yunnan is an unexpected treasure in that secret realm.

In September and October 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed cooperation initiatives to build the "New Silk Road Economic Belt" and the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" respectively. As a scenic spot that must be passed along the Belt and Road, "GoFashion Road Shang" came to Yuanyang, Yunnan Province at the first stop, and invited actor Bao Wenjing to walk into Yuanyang, which has the "World Cultural Heritage - Hani Terraced Fields".

Belt and Road

"The Belt and Road" (The Belt and Road, abbreviated as B&R) is the abbreviation of "Silk Road Economic Belt" and "21st Century Maritime Silk Road". The Belt and Road Initiative aims to borrow the historical symbols of the ancient Silk Road, hold high the banner of peaceful development, actively develop economic partnerships with countries along the route, and jointly create a community of interests, destiny, and responsibility featuring political mutual trust, economic integration, and cultural tolerance.

Auspicious place - Azheke

Many people were attracted by this simple and beautiful small village when they watched the movie "Wu Wen Xi Dong".

"Azheke" means "a prosperous and auspicious small place" in Hani language. This mushroom house is a traditional dwelling of the Hani people in Azheke Village.

The color of Azheke is rich. Blue sky, white clouds, red soil, green trees, yellow walls, brown roofs, dark buffaloes and dark faces of villagers, all the pictures as far as the eye can see are like bright colors with the saturation of the camera turned up. People, livestock, houses, crops, the most basic factors of production for farmers, are so harmoniously combined here.

Hometown of Red Rice

As the hometown of red rice, the red rice produced in Azheke Yuanyang Terraced Fields is called "red agate", which is a treasure that came from the sky to the earth.

For more than 1300 years, red rice has grown here continuously, and the skill of intensive cultivation of red rice has also been passed down and developed through terraced fields.

Red rice, also known as "red rice" and "monascus", is a kind of coarse grain with high nutritional value in the south.

Red rice is planted at an altitude of 1400-1800 meters, using the original farming methods of mountain spring water irrigation, farm manure application, and artificial plowing and weeding. It is rich in calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and other trace elements that are two or three times that of ordinary rice. . Among the 8 kinds of amino acids that the human body needs and cannot be synthesized, terraced red rice contains 7 kinds. Modern people are increasingly pursuing ecology and health in food, and the agricultural products of terraced fields fully meet their needs.

Yuanyang Rice Terraces

As a province that must pass through the Belt and Road Initiative, Yunnan is also a tourist attraction in my country. Among them, the "Red River Yuanyang Terraced Fields" are criss-crossed and well-arranged, and the paddy fields have a special charm under the rays of the morning sun and the afterglow of the setting sun.

In Yuanyang, due to the long-term erosion and cutting of the two main streams of the Honghe River and the Tengtiao River, the geographical landforms have formed a deep-cut Zhongshan landform type with deep canyons, overlapping mountains, criss-cross ravines, and turbulent streams.

The Hani people have sung such a song from generation to generation: "If there are good trees, there will be good water; if there is good water, there will be good fields; if there are good fields, there will be good children and grandchildren." It is this sober ecological environment and The understanding of the relationship between the sources of life, after several generations of careful carving, created the world-famous terraced fields.

The altitude difference and mountain monsoon have created a rainy and foggy three-dimensional climate in Yuanyang. Every year, 180 days a year, the sea of ​​clouds fills the valley. The terraced fields are like a ladder to heaven, a fairyland on earth and a wonder of the world. Its scenery and scenery are unique in the world, so it has the reputation of "Yuanyang terraced fields are the best in the world".

There are many terraced fields in southern China, but Yunnan has the most terraced fields. For thousands of years, the mountain people have continuously diverted water from the mountains to build fields, forming today's majestic terraced field landscape. The entire terraced fields are like a giant white flower blooming in the deep valley, and the terraced fields in various poses are like long dragons lying quietly in the stamens. Standing on the cliff of "Tiger's Mouth" and looking down, the terraced fields are like the sea and the tide, and the sheds are like boats on the sea, dotted among them; if you look carefully, the terraced fields at the bottom of the valley are like galloping horses.

Here, with the change of time and space, the first season, every day, every minute and every second, you will see the ever-changing scenery. Sometimes it is filled with white mist and veil, and various terraced fields loom in it, which is wonderful and magical, like a fairyland on earth; sometimes it is colorful and dazzling, and sometimes it is like mirrors of different sizes and shapes embedded in All over the hillside, the mountains are shimmering, like an endless three-dimensional ocean under the sun.

Tiger Mouth Terraced Fields is the terraced field scenic spot with the steepest mountain, the most magnificent momentum and the most spectacular layout among the terraced field scenic spots in Yuanyang. There are layers of terraced fields, green hills, long white clouds, clear water and blue sky, and scattered cottages. Humans and nature form this wonderful landscape. A poet said: "Fish swim in the clouds, and clouds float in the water."

Music Nation - Hani and Yi

Yuanyang belongs to the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. It is a frontier ethnic minority autonomous prefecture inhabited by many ethnic groups. There are 10 traditional ethnic groups and a minority population of 2.41 million, of which the Hani and Yi ethnic groups are the main population.

It is said that ethnic minorities are good at singing and dancing. The Hani and Yi people have their own music and dances with their own national characteristics. Bao Wenjing, who has learned dance since childhood, has also developed a very strong interest in the dance here.

The Hani nationality has a long history and originated from the ancient Qiang tribes together with the Yi and Lahu. The classic dances include Mang Drum Dance and Lezuo Dance of the Hani Nationality, Axi Moon Dance and Cigarette Box Dance of the Yi Nationality, and Lusheng Dance of the Miao Nationality.

The classic music includes Haicai tune of Shiping Yi nationality. "Hani Four Seasons Production Tune", Hani polyphonic music, Yi cigarette box dance, and Yi Haicai tune were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

Not only that, there are also a variety of ethnic musical instruments here, such as the Bawu and Kouxian of the Yi nationality, the Lusheng of the Miao nationality, and the cucurbit silk of the Dai nationality.

Recently, in the hit show "Wife's Romantic Travel 2", Bao Wenjing, who is cheerful and generous, also sang and danced with several actors during the trip. With the experience of this trip to Yunnan, I believe I will come to play again next time , Wenjing Bao can participate in the dance and national culture of the Hani and Yi ethnic groups with her friends.
