Excuse me: What are the eighteen eccentrics 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 is hot in Yunnan, so it is 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. So it's strange that the early trains didn't pass through China and abroad.
