Chapter 378 The Dragon Who Is Probably Extinct
The next day at eight o'clock, He Huan started to explain: "The place we are going to today is Chuxiong. Chuxiong is close to Chuncheng.

From Chuncheng to Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La, and our trip to Baoshan, Tengchong, Mangshi, and Ruili this time, we must pass through Chuxiong.Therefore, Chuxiong is also called the Central Yunnan Corridor.

But it is on the golden tourist route, such a key position, but it is not a famous tourist city.Many people just pass by, make a living in Chuxiong, and stay in a shop. "

The tourists laughed.

"Then why do people go to Chuxiong repeatedly? Then we have to talk about the geography and landforms of Chuxiong itself.

Chuxiong is mountainous and belongs to the Ailao Mountains, which is the dividing line between the Hengduan Mountains and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.There are many mountains and rivers in the territory, and there are nine parts of mountains and rivers and one part of dams.

It is not like Spring City or Dali, Lijiang, or Banna, where there is a Haizi or a Bazi in the environmental protection of the mountains.It is formed a lot of small basins between mountains.

Whether you are a resident or a tourist, you always like to stay in a place where a mountain surrounds a piece of water and a dam, right? "

Tourists nod.

"Such dams with mountains and water can easily form human settlements, and easily generate culture and civilization. Therefore, many famous historical and cultural cities were born on such dams.

But Chuxiong's settlements are very scattered.In addition to Chuxiong, my country also has a Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Daliangshan.Why are the two Yi autonomous prefectures located in mountainous areas?Why do the Yi people live on the mountain? "

He Huan recounted the history of the Yi nationality that he led the group to talk about in Xiaoliangshan.

Only then did the tourists realize that it turns out that the Yi people do not like to live on the mountain, but have historical reasons.

After talking about the history of the migration of the Yi people, He Huan continued: "Although Chuxiong is also a Yi autonomous prefecture, in the Ming Dynasty, in order to strengthen the rule of Yunzhou, a large number of people from the Central Plains moved in, and Chuxiong was the most immigrated place.

Because after crossing Ailao Mountain, it is Hengduan Mountain, and the environment there is even more difficult and dangerous for the Han people.As a result, the Han nationality gradually became the most populous nation in Chuxiong.

The Han people live in Pingba and the main traffic roads, and the Yi people live in the mountains, which are numerous and scattered, so it does not form a historical and cultural city with one ethnic group as the main body like Dali Bai, Lijiang Naxi, and Banna Dai.

This also led to the fact that different tribes in different areas of the Yi nationality called themselves differently, and they were not unified as the Yi nationality until later.

Aside from the history of the Yi people moving up the mountain, in fact, the history of Chuxiong can be traced back even earlier.Yuanmou people, anyone who has studied history knows this, right? "

Everyone nodded.

"A part of human ancestors lived here 170 million years ago, from the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age. Therefore, Chuxiong is the birthplace of human beings.

In the pre-Qin period, the three major ethnic groups of Diqiang, Baiyue and Baipu were active in the Chuxiong area.In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a mysterious country appeared in the historical records—Dianyue Chengxiang Country, which is also the Ailao Country in the history of the Dai people.

Ailao Kingdom, like the ancient Dian Kingdom I told you yesterday, is a mysterious ancient country in the southwest that was established during the Warring States Period and disappeared in the long river of history. "

The tourists who heard the story of the ancient Dian Kingdom looked at him curiously yesterday.

He Huan looked at them, "The center of Ailao Kingdom is in Baoshan, this is where we will go later, we will talk about it later."

Tourists have to be patient.

"Generally speaking, the territory of Ailao Kingdom is bordered by the ancient Dian Kingdom. It is the Ailao Mountain as the boundary, the Chuxiong area. Therefore, Chuxiong is the earliest, and it is likely to belong to the Ailao Kingdom and the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Due to its mountainous terrain and numerous ethnic minorities, Yunzhou has always had a tradition of self-government.Therefore, its country is not like a centralized country like the Central Plains, but a large tribe rules many small tribes, and each tribe has its own leader.

By the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were 37 tribes in Nanzhao, and Chuxiong was a tribe dominated by the ancestors of the Yi nationality, ruled by the Nanzhao Kingdom.

There are many place names in Chuxiong's history, and they always belong to different regions.Its geographical location is east of the Yunnan Plateau and west of the Hengduan Mountains.

So when it was in the territory of the Central Plains dynasty, it mostly belonged to Spring City.During the minority regime period, it belonged to Dali.

During the period of Dali Kingdom, Chuxiong was called Wei Chu.The Chuxiong Mansion was set up in the Ming Dynasty, hence the name Chuxiong. "

Talking about the history of Chuxiong all the way, I saw the continuous green hills.

"Today we are going to Yulong Gorge, there are really dragons there!"

The tourists got excited and looked at the white dragon flag in the window of the tour guide seat.

"It's just that this dragon is a dinosaur. Let me ask you a question, why is a dinosaur called a dinosaur?"

"Dreadful dragon!" said a visitor.

"Yes!" He Huan said.

Just as he was about to continue, another tourist said, "I'm afraid the dragon will become extinct!"

He Huan was speechless.

All the tourists in the car laughed.

He Huan laughed and said: "It's great, it's great, if you travel through the Jurassic, you can tell the dinosaurs, I'm afraid they will go extinct!"

"Hahaha……"

"I'm afraid I will be extinct first." The tourist said again.

Another car full of laughter.Master Zhou also laughed, always meeting some tourists who are particularly able to catch up.

He Huan suppressed a smile, "I'm afraid you think this is a cross talk club." Amidst the laughter of the tourists, he continued: "Actually, dinosaurs come from their English names, originally called scary lizards."

The tourists laughed again.

"Hmm." He Huan said, "In the past, the Greeks discovered dinosaur fossils, which were huge and terrifying, very similar to lizards, so they called them terrifying lizards.

So language is a magical thing.When we translated, we also added our language habits.Can't it be called a dinosaur?How ugly that is!Don't be domineering!
This big and mighty guy should be called a dragon!So it's called a dinosaur!Dinosaurs don't know that they are called dinosaurs, and they may become extinct. "

Amidst the laughter of the tourists, He Huan said solemnly, "But it does not prevent it from being the overlord on this planet. As for Yunzhou, before the activities of Yuanmou people, there were already dinosaur activities.

During the Mesozoic Era, Yunzhou Dianzhong Basin was a large inland water system, with lush plants, warm climate, crisscross rivers and dotted lakes, it was a paradise for reptiles to thrive.

From the banks of the Jinsha River to the banks of Yunchi, Chuxiong, Chuncheng, and Yuxi are the hometowns of dinosaurs.How did you find out?

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Burma Highway was built through Lufeng.As soon as a migrant worker went down with a hoe, his hand was numb from the shock. It was obvious that he had touched a rock, and he went around the rock and continued digging, only to find a big and terrifying thing that might become extinct! "

This stalk couldn't be passed, and the whole car burst into laughter again.

"The migrant workers were terrified, threw away their hoes and shouted: "It's terrible! Come and see! What is this thing? The migrant workers all ran over to see: Wow! It's a keel! It's a dragon vein! It can't be dug!"
Out of awe of the dragon, everyone did not destroy it.At that time, during the Anti-Japanese War, the Central Plains fell, many universities moved to Yunzhou, and experts, professors and scientists also came to Yunzhou.

We also want to do research when we come to Yunzhou. We two paleontologists have just returned from investigating ancient humans in Yuanmou. We passed by Lufeng and heard that migrant workers were talking about dragons.

The experts listened carefully, our belief is science!Do dragons, which are probably legendary creatures, really exist? "

Everyone laughed again.

"The experts felt something was wrong, so they asked the migrant workers to lead the way, and went to see it for themselves. When they saw it, hey, hey! Is this a dinosaur? I quickly called a bunch of experts, dug lightly, slowly, and dug out a complete dinosaur!

Name it Lufeng Dragon!Also known as my country's first dragon!Also the first dragon to be stamped!Because it is the first dragon that our country independently discovers and excavates and completely restores the assembled structure!It is of great significance in the world of archaeology!
Later, the experts continued to dig, and found the world's largest group of dinosaur fossils in this place.That is the Yulong Gorge we are going to today. "

"Why is it called Yulong Gorge instead of Dinosaur Gorge?" asked King Jijie.

"It was originally called Dinosaur Gorge. I'm afraid you won't be too scared to go there, so wouldn't it be scary to make Yulong Gorge look as gentle and handsome as me?"

The tourists laughed.

"Why it's called Yulong Gorge, you'll know when you get inside." He Huan said seriously again.

Having said that, the car has turned from the highway intersection towards a green hill.

In the square at the gate of Yulong Gorge, a group of people dressed in brightly colored Yi ethnic costumes stood.There is a big red banner hanging at the door: welcome the little white dragon group to Yulong Gorge!

Seeing the white dragon flag flying in, the singing sounded, and a group of people started dancing.

"Wow wow wow!" The tourists looked out of the window excitedly, "Is the little white dragon group such a high standard?"

He Huan said calmly: "Little Bailong came to the scenic spot, that's how it is."

Master Zhou smiled and drove the car into the parking lot.

Several people walked to the car.

He Huan said: "I'm going to play something exciting later, so don't bring too many things."

"Wow!" Everyone looked out the window and couldn't wait to be stimulated.Just leave your stuff in the car and only have your phone with you.

Let the tourists get off the car one by one, He Huan picked up the white dragon flag and got off the car.

A middle-aged man walked up to him, smiling like a chrysanthemum, holding his hand and shaking it again and again, "Little Bailong! Welcome! Welcome! It's finally your turn!"

He Huan also smiled.Before doing ground pick-up, I wanted to come to Yulong Gorge to step on it, but I was scared away by their enthusiasm.Now they are more enthusiastic, and He Huan has a thicker skin.

"Do you remember me?" the man asked.

"President Yan."

"Hahaha..." Boss Yan was very happy that Xiaobailong still remembered him, so he took his hand and walked forward.

Tourists follow.

Looking at the white dragon soaring on the white dragon flag, and then at the jade dragon soaring at the gate, King Jiejie asked again: "Little Bailong, do you have any relationship with Yulong Gorge?"

Mr. Yan turned back, "No, no, this is the first time Xiaobailong has come to us, and he was never invited before, so we are happy."

He Huan looked at him, there is no silver 300 taels here!
Walking to the square, the welcome team greeted them, singing and dancing around them.

He Huan looked at the tourists, "The hometown of singing and dancing, the Yi people dance, let's dance together!"

"what!"

He Huan joined the team first and jumped up with them.Seeing Xiaobailong do as the Romans do, the welcome team sang louder and danced more happily.It feels like Chinese New Year!Even the Chinese New Year is not so lively.

What a lively square dance!
As soon as you arrive at the entrance of the scenic spot, you dance first, which is something you have never experienced before.But with this cheerful atmosphere and rhythm, everyone couldn't help but move their hands and feet, twist their waists, and shake their heads.

This square dance is magical!
Although I can't understand it at all, I can't stop at all.

Tourists also joined in the procession.

After dancing heartily, He Huan bowed with a smile on his face, "Thank you everyone!"

The welcome team looked at him with blushing faces, and sure enough it was the most correct way to welcome Xiao Bailong with singing and dancing!

He Huan passed through the welcome line and walked towards the ticket window. Mr. Yan hurriedly grabbed him, "Little Bailong, there is no need to buy a ticket. It is the glory of our scenic spot that the little Bailong group comes to our scenic spot!"

He Huan said: "Then how can I do it? How can the scenic spot not charge tickets? If I don't charge, I will leave."

Hearing that he was going to leave, Boss Yan quickly let go.

The tourists watched the fun with a smile. Anyway, they paid the tour fee, and it was Xiao Bailong's business whether to accept the tickets.It was said on the Internet that Yunzhou scenic spot was opened by Xiaobailong, which may be correct.

"Little White Dragon! This is not the hometown of dinosaurs, but this is your hometown?" Jiejie Wang said again.

He Huan glanced at him, "Yes! This is also my birthplace!"

President Yan looked at him, very embarrassed.

Asking tourists to wait outside, He Huan went into the visitor center to buy tickets.Boss Yan accompanied him in, "I'll accompany you on a tour later."

He Huan said with a smile: "Then thank you, Mr. Yan, otherwise I would have to hire a tour guide."

Mr. Yan smiled all over his face, "Don't worry, don't worry."

After buying team tickets, He Huan walked in with the little white dragon group.

The jumping just now made a group of tourists excited and followed the little white dragon, ready to play exciting.

President Yan leads the way.

Passing through the water park and entering the Dinosaur Pavilion, the dark environment inside and the huge dinosaur skeletons made the enthusiastic tourists calm down.

Shocked by the overlord of this land [-] million years ago, He Huan explained the legend of each dragon to them.

Come out of the Dinosaur Hall and walk towards the green hill.Entering between the two mountains, suddenly the green hills change their colors, the maple leaves on both sides are red, and a green water winds out.

"Ah!" The tourists yelled, like entering a dream, like entering a fairyland.

"What kind of green is green? Emerald green!" He Huan looked at the green water between the two mountains, "The emerald-like stream meanders, does it look like a jade dragon?"

"picture!"

"Do you know why it's called Yulong Gorge?"

"understood!"

The bright red maple leaves on both sides of the river sandwich the clear green water, and the sunlight just hits the canyon, making the maple leaves and green water glisten.

"Half emerald, half emerald, priceless, should it be like this?" said a tourist.

"Yes!" He Huan nodded.

Mr. Yan looked at him with a smile. I don’t know what he told the tourists, but the description of Yulong Gorge as half emerald and half emerald is really priceless!
Walk through the burning maple forest on the bank until a green hill blocks the way.He Huan turned around, "Let's drift down from here to the exit."

"Good!"

Put on life jackets one by one, get on a kayak, and drift down the Yulong Gorge.

The water flow is sometimes slow and sometimes fast, when it is slow, the maple leaves on the bank slowly fall to the water, and when it is fast, a red cloud passes by.

The tourists were addicted to it and screamed loudly.

Anyway, there were staff members, He Huan didn't row the boat, and sat in the middle of the first kayak, taking pictures with a camera.

Mr. Yan escorted the team on the last kayak, smiling all over his face, feeling that Yulong Gorge was going to be on fire!
