When I came to Yunnan, all I heard along the way was the subversion of ethnic minorities. Women are superior to men. Women marry men. Boys are called losers, who have to work as coolies in the woman's house for three years and get married with dowry. Girls are the queen, and they make their own decisions. Although this is a national custom, I still feel indignant for the oppressed men.
? When I arrived in Lijiang, God gave me life, and God gave me cattle and sheep. Under the snow-covered Yulong Snow Mountain, God complied with human nature. More than 200 Naxi, Yi, Dai and Lan people are holding bowls of water and wine and proudly shouting in their fluent Chinese: We are men, bloody men, and exchange our wildness and boldness for wine.
They are not drunkards, but brave the legendary swordsman chivalrous men like Columbus and Genghis Khan. Two thousand years ago, these wild Naxi men made an earth-shattering decision while drinking. They want to ride a white horse with two bells and take Pu 'er tea from their hometown, from Dali to Pu 'er, through Shangri-La to Lijiang, and go straight to Tibet, India and Nepal. They want to use their lives to walk out of an unprecedented dream road-the ancient tea-horse road.
A group of passionate caravans bid farewell to their dear wives, the beautiful Yulong Snow Mountain and the vast virgin forest. There is no road, and the road opened by Ma Guotou (the leader of the caravan) is their road. High mountains and deep streams, Gu Teng boulder, just listen to "Ah!" Once, a horse accidentally got mixed up in Gu Teng, and even people with horses and tea fell into the ravine. Ma Po stopped the cavalry behind him and asked them to build a new road to make a detour. Mosquitoes in the depths of the virgin forest are too small to see, but the big bags bitten out are very scary. A poisonous snake will drill out of the grass tree at any time. The horse was bitten, and so was the man. There were few herbs left, so the caravan had to stop and collect herbs for healing. The long road, the vast forest, the storm, hunger and cold, the surviving caravan walked slowly, and suddenly a group of masked robbers fell from the sky with broadswords. Ma Guotou rushed up to fight with several martial arts grooms and ordered others to take the opportunity to run. The horse pot was outnumbered and lay in a pool of blood. ...
After a long time, the caravan finally returned to Yulong Snow Mountain with the goods bought from the western regions. The wives of the caravan who lost their husbands were heartbroken at the goods they brought back. They can't wait for their people anymore, and their people have left the ancient tea-horse road forever. But Naxi men are all made of iron, and they must do what they want. Once or twice, between Yunnan and Tibet, they just walked out of a world-famous ancient tea-horse road with life, wisdom and courage.
Today, when we return to this ancient tea-horse road, the tea fragrance disappears, the caravan disappears, and the Belt and Road leads to all directions. However, when we came to Lijiang and saw Impression of Lijiang directed by Zhang Yimou, people could feel the pride of the caravan and the heroism of the caravan leaping over mountains and rivers, just like the chivalrous men in ancient the legendary swordsman.
? Naxi people believe in Dongba religion. They respect heaven, earth, mountains and water. In Yushui Village, which is as clean as a fairy, stands a 9.6-meter-high golden statue of a human snake, which is the god of nature in the hearts of Naxi people. In fact, Naxi caravan is not a god. They are the most fearless male gods under Yulong Snow Mountain!
