It is said that Yunnan is the south of colorful clouds and a virgin land to be developed. Yunnan's abundant animal and plant resources and tourism resources provide a strong guarantee for Yunnan's sustainable development.

Dense virgin forests, mysterious wild elephants, bitter people who are still in the transition period from primitive society to slave society, Mosuo people who still keep the custom of walking marriage, etc. Xishuangbanna has added endless mystery to Yunnan. The eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan reflect the history, culture and customs of Yunnan to a certain extent, and further deepen the mystery of Yunnan. At present, some of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan are rare in all parts of Yunnan, but after deduction, "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan" and "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan diet" are derived, most of which reflect the real life in Yunnan. If you are interested in the customs of Yunnan, you can also discuss with us.

The first strange thing: falling in love behind the doll, which is the legacy of Yunnan minority marriage trial customs. Generally, a woman can only hold a wedding at a man's house when she has children.

The second monster: it rains in the east and basks in the sun in the west. As the saying goes, Yunnan has a plateau climate.

The third monster: the girl is called the old lady, and some ethnic minorities call the young aunt the old aunt, hence the name.

The fourth strange thing: eggs are sold tied up. Many ethnic groups in Yunnan live in remote areas with underdeveloped transportation. Goods are usually carried on the back. Eggs are fragile and inconvenient to buy and sell, so smart people wrap them in straw and tie them with ropes, which is convenient and safe.

The fifth strange thing: the train is not as fast as the car. First, the mountain is high and the road is steep. Secondly, the train in Yunnan is a small French meter-gauge train, which is not fast, so it is not as fast as a car.

The sixth monster: vegetables complain about vegetables only because of different customs.

The seventh monster: three mosquitoes and one dish, Yunnan is an animal kingdom. Although three mosquitoes and one dish are exaggerated, they are bigger than the average. When traveling to Yunnan, you must prepare medicines!

The eighth monster: Radish is sold as fruit, and the climate in Yunnan is dry. Radish can clear away heat and reduce fire, and eating more is good for health.

The ninth strange: the train has long been history without passing through China and foreign countries.

The tenth strange: straw rope as a belt is rare in remote mountainous areas of Yunnan.

The eleventh strange: use bamboo tubes as tobacco bags, hookah retains the smell of tobacco and mourns the oil content of tobacco. Fun and harmless, it is very popular among ethnic minorities in Yunnan.

The twelfth monster: grass is the pot cover. Ethnic minorities in Yunnan often use hay to make pot covers that look like hats. This pot cover has good thermal insulation, and the cooked food smells like grass, which is really convenient and affordable.

The thirteenth monster: the old lady climbs the mountain faster than the monkey, the ethnic minorities in Yunnan are kind and hardworking, and women are as hardworking as men at work.

The fourteenth monster: Baba is called bait block, which seems to be called only in Yunnan.

Stranger 15: Girls hold tobacco bags, and different nationalities have different customs and aesthetics.

The sixteenth monster: dolls go out with men, and there are many model husbands in Yunnan.

Strange 17: There is a village in the cave, and the natural cave is the best place to shelter from the rain.

Strange 18: Young monks can fall in love, and Dai teenagers are going to study in Buddhist temples, which is a school, not the concept of young monks in Mahayana Buddhism.

Description:

The eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan don't refer to the above. In fact, "eighteen" is an expression of "many", which is more catchy. There are many nationalities in Yunnan, and there are naturally many differences in customs and habits. It is because of differences that people are attracted, and it is because of strangeness that the mystery is increased, which is the reason why Yunnan tourism is enduring. As far as many different folk customs in Yunnan are concerned, different tourists naturally have different feelings. I think friends should treat the customs of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan and any ethnic minority with a normal heart. Only with a relatively correct understanding can we truly appreciate the charm of Yunnan.

The other one said:

The first monster in Yunnan:

Eggs are sold in the form of straw skewers: in order to facilitate buyers to carry the purchased eggs without being damaged, villagers weave bamboo or straw against the eggshells, each with ten skewers, which can be hung on the wall and eaten as much as they want.

The second monster in Yunnan:

Take off your hat as a pot cover: There are many bamboo forests in Yunnan, so many utensils are made of bamboo. The pot cover is similar to the hat in the mainland, but the top is slightly smaller, which is easy to grasp, breathable and warm, and the cooked rice is more fragrant.

The third monster in Yunnan:

Three mosquitoes and one dish: The weather in many areas of Yunnan is hot, and there are many mosquitoes and flies all year round, especially in the wild and livestock enclosure, so it is somewhat exaggerated to say that three mosquitoes and one dish.

The fourth monster in Yunnan:

The fire pipe can be used as a hookah: the smoke pipe used by local people is very similar to the fire pipe blown in the mainland, except that the fire pipe is blown out and sucked in. Tobacco can be filtered with water to reduce tar concentration, and the taste is more refreshing and mellow.

The fifth monster in Yunnan:

Ciba is called bait block: the rice produced in Yunnan is particularly fragrant and glutinous. After the rice is steamed and cooked, it is kneaded into a long semi-finished product, which can be fried, boiled and steamed. The color is as white as snow, like the white rice cake made in the mainland, which is called bait block locally.

The sixth monster in Yunnan:

Falling in love with dolls: ethnic minorities expect a large number of people, and their daughter-in-law will return to her hometown within a few days of marriage. When they have dolls, they will go back to their in-laws to meet their husbands and start a real love.

The seventh monster in Yunnan:

Wear clothes in four seasons: Yunnan's climate is changeable, neither hot in summer nor cold in winter, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which can be said to be a hot and cold transient. The clothes of the four seasons can be seen everywhere on the street, long and short, thick and thin, colorful and colorful.

The eighth monster in Yunnan:

Grasshoppers can be used as appetizers: people in many places in Yunnan have a hobby of eating insects, turning pests into delicacies and insects into delicacies. So grasshoppers and locusts become delicious appetizers because they are crispy and delicious after frying.

The ninth monster in Yunnan:

Girls are called old ladies: in some areas of Yunnan, there is no distinction between accents and nuns. Calling girls actually refers to aunts and nuns, while calling aunts and nuns old ladies, so you ask girls that they are called old ladies, which is what mainlanders call young aunts.

The tenth monster in Yunnan:

Monks can fall in love: Yunnan borders several Buddhist countries, and men in Buddhist countries all go to temples to become monks, just like going to school or doing military service in the mainland. Then they can get married and have children. Affected by this, the border people also wear monk clothes to fall in love.

The eleventh monster in Yunnan:

The old lady climbs the mountain faster than the monkey: Yunnan has many mountains and deep valleys, and the local women are extremely hardworking from childhood to old age. They are used to climbing mountains, ploughing fields and chopping wood, so they have developed strong physique and feet. Old people in their seventies and eighties often climb mountains like the ground.

The twelfth monster in Yunnan:

Make up a piece at the back of the new shoes: ethnic minority women make shoes with cloth at the back of embroidered shoes and embroider them carefully. It is not only beautiful, but also has practical value of retaining ash and mud.

The thirteenth monster in Yunnan:

Cars are faster than trains: due to many mountains and canyons, Yunnan's railways have large slopes and many bends, which makes the speed of trains extremely slow, forming a unique landscape that trains are not as fast as cars.

The fourteenth monster in Yunnan:

Toes are always outside: Yunnan is full of mountains and mountains, so it is not convenient to walk. Climbing more mountains, running more, sweating more feet, you can make shallow shoes to expose your toes and feel cooler.

The fifteenth monster in Yunnan:

Dolls are all brought by men: women in Yunnan have always been hardworking, so they do a lot of outside work, while men are relatively idle and mostly stay at home to take care of their children.

The sixteenth monster in Yunnan:

Selling peanuts and broad beans by the number: In the old days, Yunnan was virtuous, and liked to barter things, but was ashamed to talk about goods trading. So peanuts and broad beans are sold by quantity, and people's hearts are just a measure.

The seventeenth monster in Yunnan:

It rains here and basks there: this sentence is used to describe Yunnan's special geographical location and changeable climate in different days. Ten miles apart, there will be different weather scenes, and both sides of the same mountain are sunny and rainy.

The eighteenth monster in Yunnan:

Four bamboo rats in a sack: There are many bamboo forests in the mountainous area, and bamboo shoots are flourishing. Rats that eat bamboo shoots are fat and strong, which is very different from domestic mice. It's better to entertain guests with such delicacies than chickens and geese.

Say it again:

There are several versions of "three mosquitoes and one dish, four bamboo rats and one sack" among the people. Old milk climbs mountains faster than monkeys, and young monks can fall in love. Leftovers can be made into sauerkraut, and radishes can be sold as fruits. If you have something to say, don't say it. Pocket pony has the ability. Dolls go out with men and there are many old ladies who are good at farming. Flowers bloom in four seasons, and cow dung is all over the wall. Stones grow outside the sky, and it is even more strange that grass will bite people. "But the most widespread is:

Bamboo tubes are used to make tobacco bags, eggs are used to sell straw skewers, straw hats are used to make pot covers, tofu is used to sell long hair, vegetables are bitter, rice is called bait blocks, broad beans are piled up for sale, three grasshoppers have a dish, straw ropes are used to make belts, toes are exposed outside shoes, loose hair is twisted for sale, it rains here, and the girl is called an old lady, and she falls in love with dolls on her back, and there is an extra piece behind her shoes.

Today, it is not difficult to find their traces in Yunnan.

The first strange bamboo tube is a pipe.

Yunnan is known as the "plant kingdom", and bamboo resources are extremely rich. People use bamboo to build bamboo houses, weave bamboo hats and mats, and even use bamboo tubes to carry water, cook rice and cook vegetables, especially to make tobacco bags. The smoke filtered from the water in the bamboo chimney not only retains the mellow smell of dry tobacco, but also eliminates the anxiety in the smoke, moistens the throat and has the sound of purring. It can be said that smoking with it has sound, color and taste.

The second strange egg is strung with grass and sold.

The safety of goods in transit has always been a difficult problem because of the high mountain road insurance in Yunnan. Local people use straw to tie eggs into strings to sell, which not only solves the problem that eggs are easy to be damaged during transportation, but also facilitates the fair valuation of buyers and sellers, and is also very convenient for children to cheat.

The third strange straw hat is the lid.

There are lush vegetation all over Yunnan, and people use these raw materials to weave curtains, hats, pot covers, hemp fibers, grass piers and various unique handicrafts. Foreigners who come to Yunnan for the first time often mix straw hats with similar pot covers, mistakenly thinking that Yunnan people use straw hats as pot covers. The straw hat-shaped pot cover woven from grass absorbs moisture, so there is no steam and water falling, and it has good heat preservation and ventilation functions, which not only adds flavor to steamed food, but also makes it difficult to deteriorate in hot weather, so it is very practical.

The fourth strange tofu is sold by long hair.

It's hot in Yunnan, so it's difficult to keep food fresh. Many people in Yunnan also like to eat stinky tofu, so they simply cover the freshly made tofu with straw for a few days until the long hair turns into stinky tofu and then sell it on the street. It is said that Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty tasted the stinky tofu in Yunnan and was very happy. He named it "Fang Qing stinky tofu". As a result, tofu stalls in central Yunnan, southern Yunnan and western Yunnan spread all over urban and rural areas. Stinky tofu can also be fried, fried, steamed or pickled into fermented bean curd, which is a unique local food in Yunnan.

The fifth strange vegetable is complaining bitterly.

South-central Yunnan has a warm climate, abundant rainfall and evergreen seasons, and there are many kinds of green vegetables all year round. Therefore, the vegetables called green vegetables in the mainland do not have the characteristics of identification, but the taste is the identification standard. Therefore, slightly bitter vegetables are called bitter vegetables.

No.6 strange rice Baba is called Erkuai

Yunnan is rich in rice. In order to carry dry food out, Yunnan people knead steamed rice balls into cakes, which are called "bait blocks". Can be fried, boiled, fried and fried (see Yunnan snacks).

The seventh strange broad beans are sold in piles.

In the past, Yunnan's commodity economy was backward and there were not many market transactions. Rural markets all over the province are particularly popular with barter transactions. Seldom do buyers and sellers use scales. Agricultural products are sold in piles and bundles, and agricultural products such as peanuts and broad beans are no exception.

The eighth blame is three grasshoppers and a plate.

People in Yunnan are extremely rich in food sources. People not only eat the meat of different animals and all kinds of wild vegetables, but also eat moss, bamboo worms, bee pupae and many wild mushrooms. Crispy and delicious fried grasshoppers are common side dishes. Because Yunnan grasshoppers are big, a few can be piled into a plate, so there is a saying that "three grasshoppers make a plate".

Article 9 strange straw rope as a belt

In the past, Yunnan's economy was backward and people lived in poverty, so it was very common to use straw ropes as belts in rural areas. Now that the economy has developed and people's living standards have been greatly improved, straw rope as a belt has long been a historical relic.

The tenth strange toe is exposed outside the shoe.

The mountains in Yunnan are continuous, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the climate is warm. Climbing and running often leads to sweating. Therefore, open-toed sandals and cloth sandals were once popular shoes in Yunnan, because they were cool and convenient.

The eleventh strange pine wool is sold.

Among the many trees in Yunnan, Pinus yunnanensis is the most common, and the forest is covered with its fallen leaves. People twist these fallen leaves into messy hair, which is used to make a fire and cook rice, and also used to barbecue ducks, which has a unique flavor. Therefore, in the old town and township fairs in Yunnan, the scene of selling pine wool can be seen everywhere, and this kind of market scene still exists in some county and township fairs until now.

The twelfth strange thing is that it rains here and basks there.

In Yunnan's peculiar mountains and rivers, diverse and complex climate environment, "one mountain is divided into four seasons, and ten miles of days are different" and "heavy rain in front of the mountain, sunny behind the mountain" is a very common natural sight. Especially in autumn, when it rains here and the sun shines there, it becomes a natural landscape in the mountains.

The thirteenth strange girl is called the old lady.

Yunnan has many nationalities and different customs. Mainlanders call their wives and sisters aunts, and some places in Yunnan are called "aunts".

The fourteenth monster is carrying a doll to fall in love.

In the past, the marriage customs in Yunnan minority areas were colorful. In addition to remembering weddings and having an affair, some ethnic groups are popular with the custom of returning to their parents' homes after marriage and leaving their in-laws after having dolls. "Falling in love behind a doll" has become a common practice.

The fifteenth strange shoe has an extra piece at the back.

Women in Yunnan are good at embroidered shoes. In order to put on and take off shoes conveniently, they often make a "shoehorn" behind the cloth shoes, and carefully embroider a flower on the shoehorn, which Yunnan people call "shoehorn". Not only practical, but also decorative, making shoes more beautiful and unique.

Wear clothes together for the 16 th season.

There is no heat in summer and no cold in winter in many places in Yunnan, especially Kunming, which is known as the "Spring City". The annual average temperature is 15℃, and the monthly average maximum temperature and monthly average minimum temperature are 2 1℃ and 10℃ respectively. No matter which season is spring, summer, autumn and winter, men, women and children can be seen everywhere in the streets of Kunming wearing colorful four-season clothes.

The seventeenth strange train is not as fast as a car.

Before the quasi-gauge (gauge 1.435 m) trains appeared in Yunnan, the meter gauge (gauge 1 m) trains were opened as early as 10. However, due to the barriers of mountains, rivers, valleys and caves, the roads are rugged, and the train speed is only twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, which is incomparable with the train speed in the mainland. In addition, Yunnan once had a slower inch-gauge train (gauge 0.72 meters), and even people could not run uphill. In contrast, the speed of cars in Yunnan is faster than that of trains, and there are fewer detours on car roads than on train roads, so people are in a hurry to go out to work, and cars have become the preferred means of transportation.

Eighteen strange trains don't pass through China and foreign countries.

It is difficult to walk on the old roads in the deep mountains of Yunnan. Although Wuchi Road was built in the Qin Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway from Kunming to Haiphong in Vietnam was also built by the French in the late Qing Dynasty, until the 1950s, there was still no railway connection between Yunnan and the mainland, so we used to bypass Vietnam in and out of Yunnan. Even General Cai E, Commander-in-Chief of Yunnan Anti-Japanese War, had to sneak back to Yunnan 19 15 by train in order to oppose the restoration of Yuan Shikai. Therefore, the early trains did not pass through domestic and foreign countries, which was called a strange thing.
