Chapter 209 Twelve Happy Slopes, Journey to Cui Pavilion on the Fog Road

"In the Naxi language, Yunshanping is called Youwu Pavilion. Listening to the name, you should have a feeling that it is a place where the wandering souls of men and women who love each other haunt."

"what!"

"Before the 50s, the proportion of Naxi men and women who died for love was the highest in the world. Lijiang is known as the capital of love for love in the world."

"what!"

"Why is this so?"

"According to the legend of Dongba Jing, men and women who cannot be together in this world, if they die in love, they can go to the third country of Yulong after being saved.

There, food and clothing are abundant, people who love each other can stay together forever, and young men and women will never grow old.

On one side is the temptation of freedom, youth and love, on the other side is the opposition of the family and the oppression of feudal ethics.Many couples who cannot be together meet to die in love.

Carrying a few days of dry food on their backs, Shuangshuang went to a place where the beautiful family could not find. This place is Yunshanping, known as the entrance of Yulong's third country.

After the couple lived happily for a few days, they ate grass crows from the snow-capped mountains and both committed suicide.Or choose a beautiful spruce, also known as the love death tree, and hang them both on the same tree. "

"Ah!" The girls covered their hearts, tears flickering.

"In this way, their wandering souls will be led by the God of Love into the third country of Jade Dragon, and they will live happily together forever in this country of love."

Feeling moved, they have already arrived at Yunshanping. The tourists are full of respect and get out of the car to pay their respects to the Youwu Pavilion.

Go to the ropeway station.

It is closer to the tourist center, and the place of love and death is famous, so there are obviously more tourists than Maoniuping.

But when they got on the cableway, most tourists also started to get off the cableway.

Because I went out late, the scenic spot was closed.

The little white dragon group didn't care about the closing of the scenic spot. They took the cableway to the side of Yulong Snow Mountain, and there was a wooden plank road winding among the original spruce forest.

The tall and straight spruces are inserted into the blue sky, and the green branches and leaves are slightly yellowed. The clear blue sky and the cotton candy-like white clouds are divided into pieces of blue crystal by the treetops, torn into cotton wool, and cast mottled light and shadow in the forest.

Cows and sheep appear in the forest, squirrels jump on the branches, and black and white snow mountains appear and disappear behind the forest.

Everyone couldn't help but slowed down, even breathing became lighter, as if they had come to the land of fairy tales.

He Huan said: "Spruce is very common in Yunzhou, so it is often included in the folk songs of ethnic minorities. It has many symbolic meanings. It often represents loyalty and beauty in love, so it has become the love death of Naxi men and women. Tree."

After walking on the plank road for more than ten minutes, a large green and yellow lawn appeared in front of me.Cattle, sheep and horses paced inside, occasionally lowered their heads to eat a mouthful of grass, and wandered leisurely.

"Wow!" Everyone sighed softly, approaching the fence beside the lawn.

Compared with the ups and downs of Yak Lawn, this lawn is very flat.

Hidden in the embrace of the main peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the spruce forest, it is like a virgin who has never been in the world.

Tranquil and beautiful.

"No wonder this is called the entrance to the third kingdom of Jade Dragon! It's so beautiful!"

He Huan said: "Spring and summer are more beautiful, the green lawn is full of flowers, and the snow on the snow mountain has not yet melted, just like a watercolor painting."

"Ah!" everyone said, "Little Bailong! You're tempting us again!"

"Yes! Come to Yunshanping again in spring and summer!"

"what!"

"I have said long ago that the beauty of Yunzhou varies from season to season, so don't be greedy for everything at once. In summer, there is a lot of rain and clouds and mist, making it difficult to see snow-capped mountains. But in April and May, the bright watercolor paintings I just mentioned should be able to appear. Yes Bar?"

He Huan turned to look at the team leader, who nodded with a smile, "Yes!"

"Ah! Next year's May Day, I will come again!" The tourists shouted one after another.

"Yes! Next year's May [-]st, Cangshan Alpine Rhododendrons and Yunshanping flowers, I have booked first!"

He Huan is funny, and the team leader is also smiling, Xiao Bailong is so influential!
"Why do you want to die in such a beautiful place?" a girl asked.

"The Third Country of Jade Dragon is also called Twelve Happy Slopes."

"Wow! This name is even more beautiful!"

"The full name in Naxi language is Wulu Youcui Pavilion. Wulu is very similar to the hotel Oulu where we stayed, and they are all transliterations.

As the entrance of the Twelve Happy Slopes, there used to be many songs and laughter of the Naxi people here.Before the Qing Dynasty, the Naxi people did not have the tendency to die for love. "

While admiring Yunshanping, everyone listened to He Huan's explanation.

"The Naxi people respect martial arts and bravery. They are not afraid of death, and their customs are strong. They have always had conflicts with the surrounding tribes. During the Ming Dynasty, they fought frequently with the Kangba area, but they also died in battle. There is no custom of dying in love.

Since when did love death become popular?It was the Qing Dynasty, the first year of Yongzheng, that is, in 1723, after Lijiang implemented the land reform. "

Everyone looked at He Huan curiously.And the team leader also looked at him.

"Previously, Yunzhou had maintained ties with the Central Plains in the form of an independent state or a dependent state, and the local customs and customs have not been changed.

After the Yuan Dynasty incorporated Yunzhou into its territory, it also let it go. The various countries and tribes in Yunzhou still fought on their own.The Ming Dynasty began to strengthen its rule over Yunzhou, which did a lot of damage to the culture of Yunzhou's ethnic minorities.

I told you this in Dali.However, in order to facilitate the rule, the Ming Dynasty implemented the native official system.For example, the chieftain of Lijiang is in charge of the people of Lijiang.

Then in the Qing Dynasty, the early warlords separatist rule, the most famous is the San Francisco Rebellion!The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is about to become independent and rebel.

Later rulers learned their lessons and changed the local official system to a stream official system, and did not give the opportunity to let the local government grow, which is called reforming the land and returning to the stream. "

Xiaobailongtuan nodded, from Paomashan talking about the San Francisco Rebellion to Dali talking about Nanzhao Dali, and now finally talking about Lijiang!
It's so complete!

"In the Ming Dynasty, the Mufu was a hereditary magistrate. In the Qing Dynasty, the chieftain was abolished, and like other places, the imperial court appointed officials to Yunzhou to serve as parent officials.

These parental officials are the patriarchs, and the new officials took office with three fires, using the Xia to control the barbarians, and forcibly carried out custom reforms.Otherwise, how can they appear to be powerful? "

"Of course, this is also to rule the hearts of the people. It must start with culture. From then on, marriage must obey the parents, and marry with cattle, sheep, pigs and wine. The order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker have become a rigid standard. Free communication between men and women is considered inappropriate ,rude."

"Before this, according to the historical records of the Yuan Dynasty, the people of Yunzhou sang harmony in the mountains, found their own spouses, fell in love and married freely.

Such a nation, which advocates freedom, yearns for love and is not afraid of death, has a fierce conflict after encountering the forced feudal ethics system. "

Everyone sighed and were shocked.

"But no matter how powerful an individual is, how can it compare to the power of the ruling class? And this feudal ethics maintains the interests of some people.

For example, the right family, that is, a strong marriage.There is also the order of his parents, he can make a family stronger through marriage.

As for the parents, they also discovered that they could gain access to the strong by selling their children's freedom of marriage.Or the aunt-uncle marriage system that ensures that all men in the family can marry wives and have children without the fat and water flowing into the fields of outsiders.

Therefore, this part of the vested interests agrees with this feudal marriage system.As a result, they also turned into accomplices, forcing their children to accept this kind of parents' order and matchmaker's words.

But after all, they are ethnic minorities. They often fall in love freely and arrange marriages.This is the same marriage system as the Dulong tribe I told you about earlier. "

Everyone listened carefully, and suddenly a young man asked suspiciously: "Have you talked about the Dulong tribe before?"

"Ah!" He Huan recalled, "I told the group of tourists who visited Sleeping Beauty on Qixi Festival."

The tourists all laughed.He and the group leader also looked at him with a smile, did he talk too much, did he confuse himself?
"I don't care, then you take us to the Dulong tribe in the future!"

"The Dulong tribe is in Gaoligong Mountain!"

"Then Jade Dragon Snow Mountain this time, Gaoligong Mountain next time!"

He Huan was confused for a while, and pretended to be angry: "Can you stop interrupting me? Where did I go?"

Everyone laughed and quickly reminded him: "Love is free, marriage is arranged."

"Yes!" He Huan continued, "Freedom of love, what are the disadvantages of arranged marriages? For example, you are like the Han nationality. Girls are raised in deep boudoirs, and they never leave the court before marriage.

Then, whoever you marry her to, her husband and wife will follow suit, and there will be no great emotional changes.But the ethnic minorities are not raised in deep boudoirs!

Many girls of ethnic minorities have been grazing outside since they were young!Work!Same as men.Then I met the person I liked, Shan Ge sang and the two were together, and I did everything I needed to do.

There was no such ethics in Yunzhou before, as we still have some concept of chastity.But Yunzhou had no such rules before.Premarital sex, and even illegitimate children, are secularly acceptable. "

"The two of you have a deep relationship, no one cares about you. When it's time to get married, the parents suddenly say that they want to marry her to another person!

At this time, obeying the father at home and obeying the husband after marriage appeared with a straight face!As long as this person is favored by your parents and given the dowry, even if it is an old man or a blind man, you will marry him. "

"what!"

"You think, I already have someone I like, we are so happy, and now you want me to marry someone else. I fell from the free and beautiful paradise to the dark and bottomless abyss! Who can accept this?

Especially for Naxi women, getting married is a heavy burden.This kind of situation is common in Yunzhou. After marriage, the man is idle, and the woman is in charge of the home and outside, and is oppressed by her husband and in-laws.

You said, if you are marrying the one you love, it’s fine to bear the burden of the family for him.People who love themselves will also give themselves more love and help.

How can you be willing to live such a hard life when you marry someone you don't love?
So there is a huge gap between the free and beautiful youth and the painful and taboo marriage!Marriage has really become the tomb of youth and love!As a result, violent conflict broke out. "

Tourists nod.

"Then the girl finds the man she loves and makes an appointment to die. A married man, who has enjoyed the happiness of a man and has become a vested interest, will not die."

Everyone laughed.

"But these young men in their teens and twenties, they haven't tried the joy of idleness, they still love first. Some of them will answer the girl's appointment.

The love death of the Naxi people is generally proposed by women and dominated by women.Because women are the direct victims.And the vested interests are those men.

For example, an old and ugly man cannot marry a wife in a free love environment.Then when the wind of feudal ethics blows, he only needs to ask his parents to find a wife for him, find a matchmaker to talk about matchmaking, and give the dowry.

The woman, at this time the vested interests are on the stage.Usually it is the woman's father, who will marry off his daughter for the dowry gift or the man's status. "

He Huan sighed, and everyone sighed too.
