Cloud House, Son of the Mountain (2)

The sky is still gray, there are a few clouds lit by the rays of the sun in the distance, the fire is overflowing, like a fairy wearing a Xia Yi.

Around six o'clock, the sun rises, and the yolk-like sun hangs low in the air, spreading warm light around it, warm and dazzling.

The train took me across the Hengduan Mountains, so the tunnel was numerous and long. After I had known how long it took, the white light finally defeated the darkness, and the horizon suddenly became bright. A jade belt surrounded the mountains, and the nine songs continued to extend to the distance. Finally rushed out of sight.

When I got off the train, I went to the hotel by car. I heard local customs on the way. I would like to elaborate on this:

In Yunnan, we can't call the driver a "driver". It is called a "master" because the word "driver" is a derogatory term in the local area. Only a person with a low status will be called a "driver". of.

Yunnan is a land of many ethnic minorities. There are many branches under each family. For example, the old trees are rooted and intertwined, so they cannot be divided into groups. They can only be said to be the people of the system, such as the Shan people. In the Yi nationality, we want to call the male "Ah Black" and the female "Ashima". The Sani people admire the tiger. In the Sani language, "倮" means "tiger". In the old days, it was called "倮男" and "prostitute". There is also a joke here. A director who does not understand Sani culture, I heard this. The name is misunderstood as "naked man" and "naked woman", so he went to a movie, the content is that the People's Liberation Army wants to liberate the southwest, and the Tusi King disagrees, ordering men and women to undress and block the PLA. It’s a pity that it’s ridiculous.

The wedding customs of the Sani people are also very interesting. On the day of the marriage, the woman has to fill the courtyard with a dowry. The man has to invite relatives and friends to come to the woman’s house to move the dowry. If the manpower is not enough, I am sorry, this dowry does not belong to you. It is. The woman and her sisters must prepare a kind of ash. After the man's person enters the door, it must be applied to the man's face. The darker the better, this is called "touching you black."

The third day: a dream of a thousand years
