Beautiful scenery of Lancang River

From the northern foot of Tanggula in Qinghai, the milk and sweat of Daxueshan gave birth to a surging river, which ran all the way through eastern Tibet and then re-entered Yunnan. Do you know there is a beautiful place in front of the Lancang River, where a woman is waiting for you?

In the process of containing the water of all rivers in southwest Yunnan, the Lancang River is exposed by the valley where wild elephants haunt, filtered by the vast virgin dense forest, and influenced by the subtropical breeze with the scent of jackfruit and mango. The original wild appearance has finally turned into a docile appearance, filled with Dai's gentle temperament.

In Xishuangbanna, you are surrounded by green water and blue waves, and the great beauty of weaving structures with mountains, rivers, dams, forests, plants, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and kind people has fascinated and continues to fascinate many people with dark hair and yellow hair, and you have not traveled far to Wan Li to explore your secrets. Poets say you are poetic, artists say you are picturesque, and essayists say you are extremely artistic. How many travelers have unique and fresh observation, knowledge and understanding of you?

In the endless primitive dense forest of ancient trees and vines in Xishuangbanna, life is like a flowing mountain stream, showing mystery and vitality in its ever-changing form. Seasons change subtly in the branches, and time flows gently among the leaves. All kinds of leaves, when landing, give birth to new leaves, and unconsciously complete its old and new alternation and regeneration. It is new and eternal, it is always changing and developing, but it adheres to the original spirit; It is never satisfied with the status quo, there are no trees in the north, maybe there is time difference and generation gap between us. A leaf is a milestone in the future, and a leaf is a chronicle of the past and the future; It is always creating, so it is always full of vitality. As for travelers, standing in front of such a wonderful nature, even the most ordinary mind will sprout new ideas, at least the mind will always be much clearer than before.

The sky, mountains, rivers, trees, flowers, plants and animals, with their respective outlines, colors, movements and smells, have always maintained spiritual communication with the Dai, Hani, Bulang, Jino, Ayu and Lahu nationalities in this green land, and man and nature are in a harmonious atmosphere. These people who live in bamboo buildings are influenced by beautiful mountains, green forests, fragrant flowers and grass, and thousands of years of Buddhist culture. They are open-minded and have a leisurely spirit, and their manners and manners have a leisurely look. In their blood, it is a kind nature that breeds and flows. Hard-working, brave, helpful, hospitable, respecting the old and loving the young are their ways to repay nature. Men don't steal, don't cheat, women don't steal, don't go whoring, don't be fierce, men and women are equal, marriage is fair, don't cheat and don't commit adultery. The social atmosphere is really gratifying. Paying attention to business, not abandoning work, not abandoning agriculture and not learning shows the inner stability and maturity of Xishuangbanna people.

I once came to Xishuangbanna in a dry season and witnessed the customs of Dai village at dawn: the sun is still immersed in the mysterious dawn, and the figures in the village have been swaying. In the hazy morning light, men go up the mountain to cut gum, or farm in the fields, or go fishing in the river; Women are selling purple rice, grilled fish, sour fish, fragrant bamboo tubes, and perhaps bamboo baskets with freshly picked bananas in the market a few miles away. Several Dai girls in bright tube skirts, with light and full steps, carry buckets to carry water from a spring on the edge of the bamboo forest in Fenghuangling. The old man opened the cowshed and drove the cows out of the stockade. The bronze bell on the neck of the first cow swayed and trembled in the morning breeze. The beautiful melody calls for the future and hope.

At this time, a bright red sun jumped out of the clouds on the hill. A touch of gorgeous brilliance fell from the sky and dressed the Lancang River in front of the stockade like a bride. The colorful Lancang River flows slowly, and it will flow to the blue ocean! Yanla, my Dai landlord, said that the feather cloud blown by the Pacific monsoon is a greeting from the flowing Lancang River to Xishuangbanna's hometown.
