The trip starts from Yongliang land and checks in

Chapter 164 Rafting on Lugu Lake

After a pause, he quickly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Mosuo people come of age at the age of 13, because of the cycle of the zodiac, starting from the coming-of-age ceremony on the first day of the first lunar month at the age of 13, the Mosuo people really began to undertake the work at home. responsibility.

They often hold bonfire parties at night, which is a great opportunity for them to meet elder brothers and younger sisters.Usually other tribes also participate, because walking marriages within a tribe carries the risk of inbreeding.Then at the bonfire party, everyone held hands and danced.If you meet a sister you like, you will hook your little finger with your sister and clasp your palms three times. Anyway, you have to go through a series of complicated steps to make love. "

"The Mosuo people have their own religious beliefs, so walking marriages are not random, and there will be no such situation that a sister does not know who the child in her belly is. Some elder brothers will marry several times, and it is also in a love affair. The next marriage will be left after the end. The married brother and sister don’t live together, and the brother can go to the sister’s house at night, but you don’t have to climb the wall, you can just take the stairs.”

"The Mosuo people belong to a matrilineal family. Children are raised by their mothers and uncles, and the father has no obligation to raise them. Therefore, the Mosuo people have a deeper relationship with their uncle than with their father."

"This is almost the walking marriage culture I know. Is it different from us Han people?"

"It's amazing!!! It's the 21st century, and this primitive walking marriage custom still exists in modern times?" The muscular man was surprised.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiao smiled: "It exists. But because of the Sinicization education, 30% of people started to get married, and 70% of them still got married."

"However, there are good and bad things about this kind of thing. For example, on the good side, Mosuo people don't need to think about the difficult relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they don't have to think about the man's family having a car and a house. The bad thing is that elder brothers and younger sisters can't Sticking together all the time, children lack fatherly love."

"As for foreign tourists, don't think about it, don't misunderstand, this is not a one-night affair, nor is it a yp"

……

Soon, everyone stopped the car, and a group of eight people found a place to live.

"To experience the beauty of Lugu Lake, hiking or cycling is the best way, so that we can have intimate contact with Lugu Lake from multiple angles at different times of the day, and experience the beauty of Lugu Lake in detail. Both Save money and exercise. On the way, we can also visit the grandmother’s house at the Mosuo people’s house at any time, drink tea, chat, or follow the locals to pick apples and pears everywhere.” Zhang Xiao said to a group of people.

"I heard that the scenery of Lugu Lake is very beautiful. Fortunately, brother Xiao has a drone, which can take panoramic aerial shots!!" Brother Muscle said with a smile.

"En." Zhang Xiao responded, and said with a smile: "The shape of Lugu Lake is like a half-moon. Only when you climb the Gemu Goddess Mountain can you get a glimpse of the whole picture of Lugu Lake, but I can take you to see a very mysterious and special scenery. !!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

"What scenery?" Everyone was curious.

"Don't worry, let's open the house first, we will live here tonight, and then I will take everyone to find the pig trough boat!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

The accommodation in Lugu Lake is generally about 150 yuan, and the conditions are very good. The per capita consumption of meals is generally 30-40 yuan per meal.For the transportation part, if you are not walking or cycling, the cost of chartering a car and taking a boat will be relatively expensive.

"The grassy sea of ​​Lugu Lake is ahead, everyone, sit still," Zhang Xiao shouted.

Lugu Lake can be said to have a cool breeze, the water is calm, and it is as quiet as if there are no ripples.

It is completely different from Erhai Lake in two styles. This is a lake that reflects the style of Yunan more than Erhai Lake.

The watery flowers here are almost clustered on the surface of the lake. It is conceivable that the water quality is cleaner and clearer.

"Brother, drive slowly, we want to take some photos in Caohai." Zhang Xiao shouted to Brother Mo Shu who was driving the pig trough boat.

"Okay!!!" The man who punted the boat for them was a Mosuo elder brother fifty years away, with dark skin and white teeth when he opened his mouth.He is approachable and although he is not good at words, he always answers their questions with a smile.

Everyone sat in the pig trough boat, looking at the grass sea stretching in the vast lake not far away.

This Caohai got its name because of the perennial silt deposits, shallow lake water and dense reeds.

It can be said that from a distance, the [-] mu of Caohai is a piece of emerald inlaid in the east of Lugu Lake. A large number of aquatic plants, exotic birds, and various fish, shrimp, crab, shell and frog constitute a rare biological grand view garden. .

The reeds in Caohai are like walls, and the waterways are intricate.

Zhang Xiao raised his mobile phone and was about to take a close-up shot. The drone live broadcaster in the sky was also recording all the time.

At this moment, another pig trough boat slowly rowed out from the sea of ​​grass.

On the pig trough boat, a Mosuo girl in a red and white dress is paddling the boat across the water.

The Mosuo girl sang local folk songs with ahaha, and the crisp voice echoed in the water plants.

Click.

Zhang Xiao quickly snapped this beautiful picture of a Mosuo girl rowing a boat.

In the dense grass sea, the Mosuo girl appeared in the camera as if holding a pipa half-hidden, with a sunny smile on her face.

It's really beautiful.

"In fact, the commercialization of Lugu Lake is not so serious now, so we come earlier, the more we can feel the best original folk customs, the degree of development in many places is relatively excessive, maybe the tourist experience will be better, but no more That kind of primitive and simple feeling." Zhang Xiao said to Chen Xi with emotion.

The scenery here is really intoxicating and beautiful.

When Zhang Xiao turned around, a strand of hair on the forehead of Chen Xi who was leaning on the pig trough boat fluttered with the breeze, and Chen Xi stretched out his hand to brush it, and this scene was also captured by Zhang Xiao in time.

With such a scene, Zhang Xiao suddenly had a creative idea in his mind.

At the same time, the drone had already flown into the sea of ​​grass.

Just now Zhang Xiao saw a small empty space in the sea of ​​grass, just enough for the drone to fly close to the lake without being blocked or entangled by the reeds.

He looked down at the screen from the drone in the live broadcast room.

Zhang Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, from the perspective of the drone, it seems that someone is secretly hiding in the grass sea in the distance, holding the camera directly to take pictures of the pig trough boat in the distance. The peaks are in a row, and above the peaks are white clouds.

Blue, white, cyan, three colors and three layers, with the lake in the middle as the line, the three colors are reflected on the lake.

In an instant, the scene seemed like a fairyland.

And from a distance, the poplar flowers on the lake surface are more clear, and the irregular blossoming flowers dotted on the lake surface seem to be the stars in the blue sky.

The blue sky is reflected on the surface of the lake. From this angle, the white flowers are really as beautiful as the petals scattered on the blue sky.

And at the bottom, the two sides are just exposed grass.

The close-ups of grass on the left and right make the whole picture full of vitality.

The most important thing is that at the dividing line of the lake in the middle, the small pig trough boat is horizontal in the center, as if breaking into this fairyland.

I have to say, this close-up photo is really amazing.

Zhang Xiao adjusted the angle and quickly saved this photo.

"Did you see it? There is the Walking Marriage Bridge. The origin of the name, as the name suggests, has something to do with the walking marriage custom that I talked about with you before. There is an old legend here: a man and a woman who love each other live on both sides of the Caohai. At night, the man So I rowed a pig trough boat to the other side to date my beloved woman. The next day after dawn, I rowed the boat back home, no matter it was windy or rainy, severe cold or hot summer, it never stopped. Seeing that her lover worked so hard every day, the woman was very distressed, and she was born They came up with the idea of ​​building a bridge in Caohai. Later, they worked together to build a wooden bridge connecting the two banks, later known as the "Walking Marriage Bridge."

"However, the wooden bridge was overwhelmed after hundreds of years of vicissitudes and was abandoned. Today's "Walking Marriage Bridge" is newly built."

Zhang Xiao sighed: "Maybe it was soaked in water for a long time and fell into disrepair. If you can still walk on this oldest walking marriage bridge, it will be a worthwhile trip."

"Brother Hey Xiao, what are the specific steps for dating when you get married? You summed it up in one sentence before, so tell us in detail? I'm quite curious~" Xiaosui laughed.

"Yeah Brother Xiao, you said you clasped your palms at the bonfire party, and then what? What's going on when you climb walls and stairs?"

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Alright, alright, then I will explain in detail."

Zhang Xiao said before that at the bonfire party, everyone held hands and danced armor rubbing.If you meet your favorite sister, brother will hook your little finger with sister and clasp your palms three times.If it is Lang Youqing's sister who is interested, Amei will kick back three times.But after confirming the wishful thinking, the elder brother will not take the younger sister directly.

After the bonfire party, Amei and her good sisters go home, and Age secretly follows behind until Amei goes to the attic and turns on the light in the boudoir, and Amy will not leave until she knows which room Amei is in.At night, elder brother brings a waist knife (for climbing walls), pork fat (for feeding dogs, to attract the attention of dogs, lest the barking of dogs will disturb the elders), hats, tokens of love (usually silver combs, which means comfort Clothes) Quietly, Mimi crawled into Amei's room, and hung her hat on the window to say goodbye to Brother, there were already people in Amei's room.

In a walking marriage, the man can only sneak into the woman's "flower building" (the woman's room) after nightfall (the Mosuo people call it "Mosuo"), and leave before dawn after sharing the bed with the woman ("Shuo out").This kind of walking marriage depends only on feelings, and has nothing to do with all external conditions such as the economy.

After Zhang Xiao finished his statement, Xiaosui joked: "It's amazing, two good friends have to climb the window to make an appointment in the middle of the night, and then they have to leave before dawn, God damn it, isn't this cheating, it's really exciting ..."

"It's called a secret marriage. My brother and my sister don't want others to know. When my sister is pregnant, there will be an open marriage to let the elders know who the child is. My brother will go to my sister's house with a gift and give it to my sister." My sister’s elders (usually silver bracelets) are called gratitude gifts. From then on, my sister can wear my elder brother’s token of love on her head.” Zhang Xiao explained.

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, the elder brother who rowed the boat couldn't help but nodded, thinking that Zhang Xiao was the tour guide of the group.

"Yes, the young man is right. Maybe many tourists will feel eager to try when they hear such a good thing. But in fact, the walking marriage of the Mosuo people is not disorderly, let alone random marriage or group marriage. In fact, there are certain principles and taboos to follow.”

After a pause, the eldest brother continued to laugh and said, "First of all, walking marriage is strictly prohibited for those who are related by blood. Secondly, you cannot make multiple lovers at the same time. In Mosuo culture, deception is taboo, and the informed consent of both parties in a relationship is very important. Yes. Moreover, as long as the man and the woman have a good impression, they can marry without any interference. If the woman has a child, the marriage relationship will be temporarily stabilized. If the relationship between the two breaks down, it will mark the end of the marriage relationship."

"Brother, are you also a Mosuo?" Xiaosui asked curiously.

He nodded with a happy smile on his face.

"Then tell us the story of your first tryst when you were young!" Xiaosui asked curiously.

The eldest brother smiled awkwardly, turned around and continued rowing without saying a word.

……

The world's first magpie bridge, walk the marriage bridge.

A 300-meter-long wooden bridge stretches out from the reeds in Caohai.

Of course, some of the wood of the old bridge with a history of nearly a hundred years has been rotted and destroyed, scattered in the sea of ​​grass. The new bridge is now adjacent to the old bridge, which was rebuilt later.

Here, men call their female lovers "Axia", and women call their male lovers "Azhu".

When the breeze blows, the flying tidbits are raised, like snow-white petals scattered by fairies.

The Walking Marriage Bridge crosses the Caohai Sea, passes through the reed bushes, and reaches the villages on both sides of the Strait.

When a group of people walk on this marriage bridge, they can still feel some mysterious stories from ancient times.

Saying goodbye to the Marriage Bridge, Zhang Xiao and others returned to the inn where they lived.

Big Stone Bridge Inn.

A family seems to be a small house hidden in the street.

There are five crooked words written on the big black wooden board beside the door, which looks very novel.

The vermilion old wooden door has lost its original bright color.

And the pair of door gods on the door are also very tasteful. This inn is also very famous, because it seems to be the filming inn of a TV series "Fate Under the Sky".

Although Zhang Xiao and others have never watched this TV series, they are still very curious.

"Wait, Brother Xiao, I suddenly really want to eat fruit. I just saw a lot of fruit sellers on the side of the road." Chen Xi said softly.

Zhang Xiao nodded.

Dozens of woven baskets are randomly placed on the roadside stone road, with all kinds of fresh fruits on them.

There are everything from apples, pears, mangosteens, peaches, lychees, grapes, mangoes, and peaches.

Chen Xi picked out a few favorites, and then bought them for a few hundred dollars.

"You sell so much, don't waste it!" Zhang Xiao said helplessly.

"There are so many people, I am going to treat guests, why can't I finish?" Chen Xi said with a smile.

Of course, after Chen Xi learned last night that these were the new friends he met in the bar, he was naturally very excited and was quite friendly to them.

It seems that after embarking on the journey with Zhang Xiao, Chen Xi has also changed a lot. From the beginning, she was a little resistant to strangers, but she met all kinds of people along the way, but it changed her view. After all, we all met by chance, and it is fate to be able to chat and have fun together! !
Just like that sentence, where in life do not meet each other, why should we have known each other before?
