I have already been heartbroken, and when I set off, a rainbow bridge was erected in the sky!
Climbing up the ridge and looking back, Shaxi Bazi is so beautiful and rich
And all of this seems to have nothing to do with Yuhua
Both belong to Changle Village, Shaxi. There seem to be two worlds up and down the mountain. Life on the mountain is very annoying.
The traffic basically depends on walking, and it takes nearly two hours to drive a street; the communication basically depends on roaring, and the telephone signal is just a cover; the transportation depends on people and horses, and the lighting depends on the sun
Before the Spring Festival this year, the dirt road was cleared, but when it rains, cars cannot go. Yuhua looked at the zigzag road like scars on the green hills in the distance for a long time, wondering what she was thinking.
Follow Yuhua over the mountains and ridges, through the dark and humid jungle, the sound of the gurgling water becomes louder and louder, until a crop field appears. Yuhua's house is the first family on the mountain road.
Solar installations are allocated by the government to each household, and can only solve lighting and watch TV. If it is cloudy for several consecutive days, it will be annoying, and the lights will not be lit.
Although it has been sunny for two days, the solar energy of Yuhua's house just broke down.
Yuhua and her husband, Mr. Lu, came to work on the farm recently. Because of the constant care of Uncle Zhang and Brother Feng, they were willing to take me here, fearing that I would not get used to it or that I would get sick.
Yuhua finished work early today and took me away, rested and played for an hour and a half. If they leave, a novel will be enough.
Hungry and looking forward to Teacher Lu's return, I don't have dinner until ten o'clock. Why don't you eat it? It's delicious! Potato eggs are better than the matsutake pheasant at the foot of the mountain!
When the fire went down, Teacher Lu’s face was hidden in the darkness, and he talked to me about primitiveness and civilization across the fire pond:
The Yi people are also a wandering people. Their ancestors traveled from Ninglang to Lijiang. At that time, they had to walk for two days to reach the barter place. They migrated here again in 1949, and opened up their homes by slash-and-burn farming in the 3,000-meter-high virgin forest. There are few insect pests on the high mountains and the land is fertile, so you don’t have to worry about planting crops. The potatoes and corn are fat and high-yielding. At that time, the Bai people at the bottom of the mountain would do long-term work for them and borrow food from them, because the land at the bottom of the mountain has been cultivated for generations, and the pests are fierce. Weeds are crazy and crops are hard to grow. In those turbulent years, the small village with high mountains and dangerous roads can keep the peace alone.
But times are changing. With the advent of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, Shaxi Bazi is beautiful and rich again. Roads, cars, electricity, communications, etc. continue to widen the gap between the mountains and the mountains.
The Yi people on the mountain have to walk five or six hours on the mountain road to go to the street, and their children go to school, which is annoying. So four or five years ago, I started to move down to Meiling (2300 meters above sea level). Meiling was developed by the Bai people. In the past, the mountain was full of plums, but later the plum trees were all cut down. Each Yi family spends 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to buy land from the Bai people, build a house and settle down, and grow crops for a living. However, the crops here are not as good as those on the mountains.
There is still a four-hour uphill journey from Meiling to their hometown. The horse roads on the mountain extend in all directions, leading to Shigu, Lanping, Yunlong and other places. It takes two hours to go downhill to Shilong Village in Shibao Mountain, and Shilong can walk to Mapingguan in four or five hours.
There are now 26 households in Meiling from the four families of Liu, Yang, Lu, and Su. One of them moved in later. The Changle Village Committee did not recognize them and did not give them a household registration. Later, their children got excellent grades in Jianchuan. The teacher fought for the child to get a registered permanent residence in Changle, but his family is still illegal.
Teacher Lu went to junior high school and worked as a teacher in Shanshang Primary School for six years. His salary rose from 110 yuan to 180 yuan. There are more than a dozen students in the school, from grades 1 to 3. Teacher Lu is in charge of teaching and living, because they live scattered , Xiaowa still lives in school, so Teacher Lu became the only man in the village who can cook. Until 2002, the pointer in Mr. Lu's hand was replaced by a sheep whip. The birth of two children forced him to find ways to earn more income. It didn't take long for the primary school to be withdrawn and merged, and the little baby in the first grade also went to Shaxi to go to school and board.
Teacher Lu and his wife went to Guangdong to work, but they came back soon. The Yi people are hard-working, and they alone can’t stand the heat in Guangdong jQuery1710030802254071686574_1530610021791
On the first starry night in Shaxi, the newly resigned social worker had no intention of sleeping. Social workers are a product of economic development to a certain extent, but this place with almost no economy needs him even more!
The same Changle villagers, singing and dancing at the foot of the mountain is a luxury, and there is no latrine on the mountain, so the solution is natural. They squat down when eating, and the food is placed on the ground. They are all used to it, even if they have a small table, they will not use it. . The disparity in the surrounding area stimulates the Yi people too much. They yearn for a better life. What they need is not sympathy and relief, but a way of life, so that hard work can be achieved.
pride.
In the morning, clear and moist, enjoy flowers, Tai Chi
Dawn entered the cottage.
The first thing to do when waking up is to feed the poultry and livestock. The pig food is boiled in the pot and then the human food is cooked. There is no thermos, and the boiling water cannot be turned on.
Filled with rice and corn, people don’t have to shout when they stand up. Before you let go, the big chicken and the little chicken have rushed over from all directions reflexively. That scene is very cute jQuery1710877767746796166_1530685290724
The road was just connected, and many families in the village bought motorcycles, but no one taught them, and the men thought about practicing by themselves.
The motor roared triumphantly in the silent valley, accompanied by people's laughter.
Because the land is sparsely populated, the applications for road construction and electricity supply for poverty alleviation have not been approved for many years, and it is only now that there is hope.
Teacher Lu stumbled a few times, and came down and said that he was too old to learn. I said that it would be enough to practice a little more. Isn't it just refueling and braking, it's very simple. He said that you come to teach me—— I... flash
Today is the 24th day of the sixth lunar month, the Torch Festival of the Yi people. Due to the small population, the people of Meiling live scattered and live in poverty, so they have no intention of celebrating festivals and only spend them in their own homes. Chickens are to be slaughtered at noon, and sheep are to be slaughtered in the evening.
Yuhua led the sheep to her third brother's house, where her father lived with her, and the three brothers spent the festival there together.
Slaughtering sheep is an important ceremony
Cut pine and willow branches and set them ablaze at the door of the house. The whole family squats down in the house, facing the door, invites relatives to help, hold the big live sheep around their heads for a few times, and then put the sheep on everyone's body. Rub it.
During the period, someone was chanting words, probably the eldest brother, who had a fixed mantra divided into several paragraphs.
Then put the grain on the plate and pass it to everyone according to their seniority, everyone takes some, and finally the person who chanted the mantra chanted a long mantra and sprinkled it outside the door.
The meaning of the whole ceremony is to throw away all the unlucky and bad things, and pray for a good coming year, a good harvest, and good health.
In the end, I slaughtered the sheep in the house, and I avoided it. Later, there was no blood on the ground.
It was past ten o'clock when the mutton was eaten. Everyone was eating and chatting, and they left after twelve o'clock. It's a bit like our New Year's watch.
This torch festival also encountered a rainy night, and I didn't even see the torches. There is no excitement here, only the warmth of home. Due to the small population and mixed living in the Bai area, cultural customs have penetrated each other.
The place where the cultural customs of the Yi people are most completely preserved is in the Daliang Mountains. It is said that in the Nanzhao Kingdom Chuxiong was dominated by Yi people, but they were defeated by the Bai people. The most powerful Yi people went to Daliang Mountain, the middle ones went to Guizhou, and the most incompetent Yi people stayed in Chuxiong.
Due to the inconvenience of labor and the high price, traditional clothing has become a formal dress, which is mostly only worn on grand occasions.
Yo! Which girl is this? jQuery17109380471983367082_1531916609920
Unlearnable heroism
Women are illiterate, and people over the age of thirty or forty have such tattoos on their arms (called man in Yi dialect).
za), the girl was stabbed by her mother when she was eleven or twelve years old. It is said that the situation was chaotic before, so let me make a note of it. Then why don't men have tattoos, no one explained to me. Is it because women are weak and bear the burden of reproduction?
The next morning the rain stopped, and after another meal of mutton, I politely thanked the Lu family for staying, and I insisted on going alone, returning to Sideng Street to participate in the Torch Festival of the Bai people.
Walking alone through the dark and dense forest, out of the mountains, over the mountain ridges, the beautiful and rich Shaxi Bazi is in front of you again.
