Travel notes of Lugu Lake

I went to Lugu Lake at the end of July. After I came back, I was busy with trivial matters of life and never had time to write. Some time ago, my son wrote a simple travel note about Lugu Lake, which reminded me of the mark of Lugu Lake in my heart. If I don't write it down, I'm afraid I'll feel sad about my attachment, so I squeeze out a little leisure every day in my busy schedule and write the following words intermittently.

We started from Chengdu by train, started at eight o'clock in the morning and arrived in Xichang around seven o'clock in the evening. It takes a whole day to go to Xichang by train from Chengdu, but the natural scenery of southern Sichuan along the way is beautiful. It is a beautiful thing to sit by the window, make a cup of tea, take a book, sit quietly in front of lush forests, winding rivers, undulating mountains and poetic bamboo rain, and occasionally teach your son to recite a poem.

Xichang to Lugu Lake is about 24 kilometers. If it is an expressway, three hours is enough. However, these 24 kilometers are all winding roads over the mountains, and the map is marked with provincial highway 37. However, on the spot, it seems that there is barely the standard of secondary roads. There is also a section of maintenance pavement of about 5 kilometers at the foot of Mopan Mountain, which is unilateral. If you are unlucky, it may be normal to be blocked for an hour or two. In the rainy season (July-August), it may be even worse, and landslides, landslides and mudslides are often prone to occur, which makes driving difficult. But we were lucky enough to get through the worst road without any delay. Although Panshan Road is high and low and turns left and right along the way, there are always rivers, green hills, white clouds and blue sky domes. At the bottom of the ravine, I look up at the mountains, and at the top of the mountain, I can see the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.. On the way, there are two mountains with an altitude of more than 3, meters, namely Mopan Mountain and Xiaoshan Mountain. When I climb over, I can fully enjoy the natural picture scroll and the scenic scenery of Liangshan Prefecture in southwest Sichuan, although the traffic is bumpy and I don't know it.

? Lugu Lake is located in the mountains at the junction of southwest Yanyuan County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province and ninglang county, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, and two thirds of it belongs to Sichuan, which is the boundary lake between Sichuan and Yunnan. Lugu Lake is about 2 kilometers away from Old Town of Lijiang. We arrived at Lugu Lake Town via Yanyuan County. At about 5 pm, we entered Lugu Lake Scenic Area and went straight to Fuyun Inn by the lake, and made a brief turn around.

Lugu Lake is owned by Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. The shoreline of Sichuan is longer than that of Yunnan, accounting for about 2/3. Lugu Lake covers an area of more than 5 square kilometers, with an altitude of 2,69 meters, an average water depth of 45 meters, a deepest depth of 93 meters, a transparency of 11 meters and a maximum visibility of 12 meters. It is the largest freshwater lake in Sichuan, the highest in Yunnan and one of the second deepest freshwater lakes in Yunnan.

The next day, although it was raining, the driver who had arranged in advance still arrived at the inn on time to take us around the lake. The driver said that July has entered the rainy season in Lugu Lake. In the rainy season, the weather in Lugu Lake is changeable. When the clouds come, it rains, and when the clouds go, it dries. The sky is often rainy, and it is rare to see a perfect clear sky. Only in autumn, Lugu Lake is crisp, blue and sunny. But we still feel the beauty of Lugu Lake.

the first scenic spot around the lake-Zouhun Bridge. Zouhun Bridge is located in the Caohai area in the southeast waters of Lugu Lake. It is the only wooden trestle bridge on Lugu Lake, about 3 meters long. Under the bridge is a shallow wetland mixed with aquatic plants and reeds, which is a branch of Lugu Lake. If it is not rainy season, you can wade through it. Now, due to years of sediment deposition, the lake is shallow, with dense reeds, which looks like a sea of grass from a distance, so the locals call it "grass sea" Walking Wedding Bridge is the place where Mosuo men and women used to date. The Mosuo people along Lugu Lake pursued the custom of "walking wedding" that "men don't marry and women don't marry". This bridge connects the shortest distance between the two sides of the strait and greatly facilitates the men and women who got married that year. "Going to get married" means visiting marriage, which is a kind of marriage custom based on feelings and leaving at night in the morning. Men maintain the relationship between men and women by leaving marriage and realize the continuation of race. Men call their female lover "Axia" and women call their male lover "A Note". During the day, adult Mosuo men and women express their feelings to the right person in the workplace or at parties by dancing and singing. If both parties like it, they will make an appointment during the day, and the man will go to the woman's "flower house" for the night in the middle of the night, which is the room of Mosuo adult women. Emotion is the first factor in Mosuo people's marriage, but there are also strict restrictions, that is, men and women of the village are not allowed to marry. This is the same as the current marriage law in China, which stipulates that "lineal blood relatives and collateral blood relatives within three generations are not allowed to get married". Their folk customs also determine that men and women must go to different villages to get married. The distance between villages here is very far, and the wedding must be held at night. In order to save the distance, this wooden bridge across the grass sea was built between the two largest villages for wedding, so this bridge is called the wedding bridge. The old bridge in the past has a history of a hundred years, and it has decayed and collapsed. Now the wedding bridge is built on the original site. ?

Walking on the wedding bridge, we imagine such a scene: whenever night falls, there are "A Zhu" coming and going on the wedding bridge. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the breeze is slow. The young Mosuo people who are married are striding happily on the bridge, accompanied by the bridge, the grass and the water, leading to the lover's flower house to enjoy the happy time. It's a beautiful scene, but I hate spring night's short life! Therefore, this bridge is known as "the first love magpie bridge in the world". Today, the wedding bridge is not only used for wedding, but also the traffic artery between villages on both sides of Caohai, and it is also the best place for tourists to enjoy the scenery of Caohai. The mood comes from nature, and the environment influences the mood. In this beautiful scenery, it is not easy to think about it.

It was raining harder and harder, so we made a cursory tour around Lugu Lake. Although it is a cursory tour, the biggest feeling that Lugu Lake gives me is silence. ?

The beauty of Lugu Lake is not as magnificent as the sea, which shocks the viewer, but a kind of peace that can soothe and soothe people's hearts. Like the Mosuo people here, they are not good at words, but simple and true. "Beauty of mountains, water and people" is the most appropriate comment on Lugu Lake.

The outline of Lugu Lake and the statue of the Goddess of Gem in the distance are recreated by artists. The green islands in the lake are the finishing touch, and there are all kinds of blooming flowers, which add a lot of color and vitality to the quiet Lugu Lake. Here, everything is so quiet, pure and harmonious, which is shocking. Sit quietly on the shore, and you'd better not say anything. Listen quietly to your own heartbeat, breathing and the sound of blood flowing. Listen quietly to the chirping of waterfowl in the distance, and listen quietly to the surging sound of a torrent coming from the deep lake bottom ... A kind of primitive natural beauty that is difficult to express in words, giving people infinite reverie ...?

tranquility is a beautiful realm. Peace and tranquility, like autumn water, reflect the bright moon. As the old saying goes, "Quiet as a virgin", the word "quiet" shows that a girl is beautiful, pure and lovely. Quiet is not dull, not mediocre, but a kind of seclusion full of connotation. Tranquility is not disappearing and dying. "Listening to thunder in a silent place" and "told even more in silence than they had told in sound" show the momentum and strength of tranquility. Zhuangzi said: "Regular quietness means clear, clear means empty, empty means inaction." No matter what you face and encounter in life, if you can take it as it is, you will be more self-restrained and rational, and you will have more opportunities and wisdom to deal with everything you face. Once people can't calm down, they will lose their backbone and accomplish nothing. Quiet is far away, and Zhuge Liang wrote in the book of precepts: "You must be quiet before you can learn." If you don't learn, you can't be versatile, and if you don't be quiet, you can't learn. " Only by getting rid of distractions, concentrating on one's intelligence and inspiration can one create something and achieve something. The respected Mr. Tu Youyou, who won the Nobel Prize for extracting artemisinin, could have achieved remarkable achievements if there had been a quiet world where "build house is in a human environment and there are no cars and horses" for decades? Therefore, tranquility will make it extraordinary.

tranquility can also make people's minds clear, wise and enlightened, and make them full of spirits to cope with all kinds of changes. Taoism says: "Nothing is self-absorbed, quiet and comfortable". Faced with the rolling world of mortals, fierce competition and chores, people often feel stressed and out of balance. In a busy and tense life, if you don't know how to take time off from work and relax yourself, you will feel exhausted and confused. Therefore, it is better to calm yourself down than to worry about it. Quiet can precipitate many miscellaneous impulsiveness, shallowness, rudeness and other human impurities in life, and can avoid many rash, reckless, boring and absurd things. Static energy for health, enlightenment, wisdom, Ming Dow, wisdom and understanding. If you want to achieve great wisdom, you must start with static energy, which is a kind of temperament, a kind of accomplishment and a kind of realm. The sages said that "keeping healthy by moving, keeping healthy by quietness" and the so-called "thinking behind closed doors" all mean punishment. In a quiet environment, people can abandon common concerns and distractions and eliminate external interference. Reflect and realize the true meaning, so as to achieve the purpose of cultivating temperament, conserving virtue and purifying the soul. Peace is also a pure land, which can not only bring you feelings of the soul, but also let you enjoy the peace and freedom of life.

once upon a time, people were afraid of inner silence and didn't take it seriously, but now silence has become a "luxury" that is hard to buy. Some people not only feel lost, but also can't find it back. What occupies my heart is impetuous, nervous, stressful, fast-paced, at a loss, helpless and other flashy and luxurious garbage. The sky of Lugu Lake is quiet, the mountain peaks and the lake water are quiet, and people should be quiet, quiet is balance, balance is harmony, and harmony can coexist and be happy. However, the influence of society, the pressure of life, the drive of profit, the attraction of fame, all kinds of temptations and comparisons, especially the self-guidance of ideology, make people involuntarily fall into a noisy situation and cannot extricate themselves. At this time, if you can still realize that your mind needs quiet rest and conditioning, then come to Lugu Lake. Lugu Lake of Mosuo people is as beautiful and quiet as Walden Lake of Thoreau, which can cleanse and heal your mind.
