Chapter 343 I'll be happy when I talk about flirting with you

In the dry season, the Nanla River meanders in the lush rainforest. It is green, quiet, beautiful and gentle, and it is very refreshing.

He Huan said: "This is the Nanla River. The last tributary of the Lancang River in our country. After the Nanla River flows into the Lancang River, it is called the Mekong River."

"Oh!"

"Nanla River is the mother river of Mengla. Legend has it that the Buddha traveled along the Lancang River to Banna. People offered tea as he passed by. When the Buddha drank enough, he poured the rest of the tea and became this river. So the Nanla River also It's called Tea River.

Mengla is a famous tea producing area with five famous mountains.The most famous one is Yi Wu.Today we are not talking about tea, but about rivers.In addition to Nanla River, Mengla also has Nanxing River, Nanrun River, Nanbeng River, Pumpkin River..."

"Hahaha……"

"When we talked about the Lancang River, we said that the word "South" is different from "South" in the southeast, northwest, and south. So don't see a river that starts with "South" and think it's on the south side. It's called "South" in all directions here.

"Hahaha……"

"What does the word Nan mean in Dai language?" He Huan looked at the tourists.

"river!"

"That's right! South refers to water, and it also refers to rivers. In fact, the rivers and rivers we are talking about today are already Sinicized place names. Because Nan already means rivers. When it is translated seriously, Nanla River, how can it be? Isn't it the Hela River?"

The tourists laughed.

"Including Mannasan Village, Manjiang Village, Manpa Village, and Manfen Village along the river. When translated, it means Village Nasan Village, Village Village, Village Pa Village..."

The boat is about to capsize.

The rhythm of the boatman's paddles is out of order.Yujia also can't laugh or cry.

He Huan was serious, "Yes, this is the magical place name of Banna!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

He Huan looked at Yu Jia, "Let's ask Director Yu to introduce you, which village are you from?"

"Cunlong village." Yujia said.

The tourists laughed.

He Huan smiled and looked at Director Yu, "Director Yu's home is in Manlong. This dragon, write this!" He Huan wrote on his mobile phone, "It is also a variant of dragon, derived from the very ancient seal script of dragon. You Those who like Two-dimensional culture should see this word more often in Japanese comics."

A group of Two-dimensional youths nodded.

"In fact, it is also a word passed down from our country and then retained by the island country."

"Wow!"

Everyone has learned a lot!
"In other places, the current dragon characters are written, but in Yunzhou, the characters have been preserved in large quantities as place names."

Director Yu nodded with a smile, Xiao Bailong is really rich in knowledge!

After speaking the word dragon, He Huan continued: "Manlong, it should be the village group of Longlin, right?"

Director Yu smiled and said, "Little Bailong, I really wonder if you have stepped on it a little bit?"

He Huan guessed that she almost said that he is a road idiot, why is he so familiar with place names!Smiling, "Dragon forest, it's not just a place name. In fact, in Banna, every village has a dragon forest."

Director Yu nodded with a smile.

"Speaking of which, we have to talk about the water culture of the Dai people." He Huan said, "When we came on the road, we said that Meng culture is based on water culture, which is the initial culture of the Dai people."

Everyone nodded.

"The epics of the Dai people record that water gave birth to all things, and their ancestors created human beings with water. A Dai proverb says: Without a river, a country cannot be built. Without forests and the foothills of mountains, a village cannot be built.

Therefore, the valleys along the river basin form small dams one by one, which are the Man of the Dai nationality and Meng of the Dai nationality.There is Zhailong Forest in Jianzhai, and Menglong Forest in Jianmeng.

The Bayeux Sutra, which records the history and culture of the Dai people, says: Only when there are forests can there be water, only when there is water can there be fields, only when there are fields can there be grain, and only when there is grain can there be people.

The Dai people have known for a long time that the forest guards the water source, and guarding the forest is protecting the water source and themselves.Therefore, their temples enshrine the god of water, and there are water officials who specialize in managing water sources.

There are village rules and regulations on how to use water.No trees in the Dragon Forest can be cut down, no fruits can be picked, and there is no hunting or grazing.Longlin is the sacred forest of the Dai people.

This set of water culture has successfully maintained the ecological environment of Banna. Before the 50s, it could fully satisfy the life and production of the local people.There is no need to build a reservoir, and all the water comes from nature.

The forest coverage rate of Banna has also been maintained at more than 70.00%, and then it developed and produced a lot, and a large number of people moved in, which is called Zhibian.

But with more people, more desires and greater goals, people are no longer satisfied with the long process of conservation and circulation of nature, and begin to destroy trees and forests.

People who move in don't have this kind of awareness of water culture.Moreover, there are also production targets, so a large number of forests are cut down and commercial crops are planted.The new culture has impacted the water culture, and the local farmers saw it and began to cut down forests and plant cash crops.

The rubber in Banna is basically planted by educated youths, and Banna has become the second largest rubber producing area in the country after Hainan.At the same time of economic development, in the 80s, the forest coverage rate of Banna dropped rapidly to 30.00%. "

"Ah!" Everyone looked at the two banks, "I see that there are quite a lot of trees!"

"That's right!" He Huan said, "This is what you see now. In the past 20 years, these flat dams along the river had no forests, and they were all cut down and replaced with cash crops.

The water is not enough, what should I do?A large number of reservoirs have been repaired!Pump the groundwater!But this is an act of killing the chicken and taking the eggs, leading to increasingly scarce water resources.

Everyone has gradually realized the environmental problems, and planted a large number of trees and forests are not allowed. Now, the forest coverage rate has finally returned to 60.00%. "

Everyone looked at the lush rainforest on both sides of the Nanla River. Fortunately, it slowly recovered.

The Nanla River, which reflects the green forests on both sides, is quiet and quiet, and tourists bend over to swim in the cool water.

He Huan looked at them, "You might as well jump down and take a shower."

Everyone poured water on him.

He Huan raised his arm to block it, "I'm serious! Because of their love and worship of water, the Dai people are also called Shui Dai. Compared with other ethnic minorities, the Dai people especially love to take a bath.

After a day's work, I took a bath in a river, chatting while washing, you tease me, I tease you, tease me together. "

"Hahaha……"

"As soon as I tease you, I will be happy."

"Hahaha……"

"After washing both of them, we will walk towards the green mist together."

"Hahaha……"

"I see if you laugh again, you will fall into the green water together!"

The tourists sat down and became quieter.

"In addition to taking care of important events such as Dai people's life, festivals, weddings and funerals, sacrifices, etc., rivers also play a role in social communication. The social place in the north is the bathhouse, and the social place for the Dai people is Zahezi!"

The tourists laughed again.

"It's not like now, when everyone has access to tap water and bathes at home, chatting can only rely on mobile phones, and love can only rely on blind dates."

"Hahaha……"

"That's right! Now all kinds of chat software, dating, marriage, you can send notifications to Moments. Now, if you lose a person's contact information, you lose that person, and you don't know what he is doing at all!
Before, could you resist not taking a shower?cannot!The Dai people like to take a bath the most!At least once a day!Sometimes several times a day!Go take a bath in the river if you have nothing to do!You just have to come out and take a shower and I can catch you! "

The tourists were already laughing so hard that the boat capsized.

Yujia couldn't stop laughing too.

The boatman wanted to jump into the river to take a bath, but luckily he had landed.

"Go ashore!" He Huan stood up.
