In Yunnan, I found such a legendary and mysterious ancient Dulong River.

When we were infatuated with various tourism cultures, I suddenly saw a mysterious ancient country like Yunnan. When I look through these photos and these cultures, I feel that life is worth visiting, such a mysterious place. He is a hero today.

Dulongjiang Grand Canyon is located in the north of Nujiang Wa Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province and the west of Gongshan Dulong Nu Autonomous County. It is a remote and mysterious canyon, located at the junction of northwest Yunnan and Myanmar, with the highest elevation of 4963 meters and the lowest elevation of 1000 meters. There are continuous snow-capped mountains and steep canyons here. Gaoligong Mountain on the east bank blocks the access to the outside world, and Delika Mountain on the west bank is a natural barrier on the border.

Dulongjiang Gorge preserves a complete original ecological environment and is rich in natural resources. Dulong River is recognized by experts as a "natural museum of wild plants", and it is one of the areas with the most intact original ecology in China.

Dulongjiang Grand Canyon is inhabited by a little-known people, who "don't connect roads and don't close their doors at night". This nation is Dulong, and Dulong is called "the people of ancient times". Before liberation, they lived a primitive life of slash and burn, and still retain many primitive, simple and unique social forms and national customs. The ethnic development history of Dulong is a living social development history and a living fossil of geoscience, biology and ethnology research. Dulong is one of the ethnic minorities with the smallest population in China, and its total population is currently less than 1 10,000.

The production and life of Dulong people are mainly concentrated in river valleys and foothills. Dulong villages are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and most wooden houses are built on steep slopes. In order to let the mountain torrents flow down from the house, one side of the river is suspended. The walls of industrious Dulong people's houses are just surrounded by bamboo poles and covered with thatch. The whole building is simple in structure, and some even pile the whole log on a stone foundation to build a solid cabin.

Before the founding of New China, the costumes of Dulong people were very simple. Both men and women are wrapped in linen-a single dragon blanket. Dulong carpet is generally about 1 meter wide and 2 meters long. Behind the sloping shawl, from the right shoulder to the left armpit to the chest, tied at the right shoulder, exposing the left shoulder and right arm. Dulong carpets are durable and easy to use. They can be used as clothes during the day and quilts at night, so they have always been loved by Dulong people. After the founding of New China, from 195 1 to the early 1960s, the state allocated a large number of cotton-padded clothes and trousers to the Dulong people every year. Later, with the rapid development of economy, culture, transportation and other undertakings in Dulong area, various fashions were imported into Dulong area. Nowadays, Dulong people rarely wear Dulong blankets in their daily lives. This kind of national costume, which best represents Dulong, is only available in Dulong area.

Such a mysterious and legendary ancient country, since ancient times, because I like tomb-robbing culture, has infinite yearning for such a legendary place, just as people yearn for Tibet, feel the greatness of China, feel the greatness of the people before, and the population is gradually decreasing. Such a place is really worth exploring and experiencing.
