South of the colorful clouds, don't live up to this trip (3)

When you look at thousands of scenery in the world with a sincere heart, even a passing scenery is considered to be the most beautiful in the world.

? Wanting to go to a city is like talking about an online love that I have never met before. I was full of longing and expectation for each other before, but the love of the city and the love of my lover are different. Whenever I arrive and meet her, she will greet me with different gestures, because I am in a good mood when I arrive, and it will be more embellished when I arrive.

Take the bus from Lijiang to go to dali at 6: 40 in the morning. Dali, in my previous impression, was surrounded by Cangshan Lake and Erhai Lake. The people here are surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is a good place from the terrain.

Dali, located in the west of Yunnan Province, China, is the capital of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. Dali is located in Erhai Plain of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and on the shore of Erhai Lake. It is the capital of Nanzhao and Dali in ancient times, and has been the political, economic and cultural center of ancient Yunnan for more than 500 years.

Dali has a long history and is one of the earliest cultural birthplaces in Yunnan. According to documents, as early as 4,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Bai nationality thrived here, which is a minority area dominated by the Bai nationality. From 65438 to 0982, Dali was listed as one of the first 24 national historical and cultural cities by China Municipal Government.

? On the way to go to dali, after passing through butterfly spring, the guide took our group to the scenic spot. The advantage of signing up for a tour group is that you don't have to worry about queuing in the scenic spot, and then someone stands in front to buy tickets. The tour guide has bought tickets for us and sent them to us one by one.

The tour guide who explained to us is an out-and-out Dali Bai elder sister, about 30 years old, not tall, but very capable. Later, she told us that there was a beautifully carved stone wall at the entrance of butterfly spring. According to Jinhua, a Bai tour guide, the man's name is Peng and the woman's name is Jinhua. Lijiang is not like Lijiang, where men are called fat brothers and women are called fat sisters. ) said: The appearance of the Bai folk houses here has always been neat, solemn and generous, with white walls and blue tiles, simple and generous. The house is made of a lot of stones, and the wall base, door head, window head and beam are all made of stones. The roof is slate tile, and the pipe tile is the top. There are many exquisite courtyards in folk houses, which are often different according to the wealth of the family. Generally speaking, there are four forms: one is "two rooms and one ear", that is, two buildings are perpendicular to each other and there is an ear room at the intersection; The second is "three rooms and one zhaobi", that is, three buildings, with zhaobi opposite the main room; The third type is "four entrances and five patios", that is, there are four buildings, and each intersection has a wing; The fourth is "Liuhe Tongchun", that is, the third floor of each courtyard, and the cloisters of all parties are connected, which is called "Zouma Jiaolou". The zhaobi in Bai folk houses can best reflect the characteristics of folk houses. Zhaobi is a decorative building, which symbolizes auspiciousness, prosperity and well-being. All kinds of zhaobi also reflect the owner's wishes and expectations, which can be called exquisite works of art of Bai folk houses. Zhaobi is a stone wall that every household in Dali must build. This is closely related to the topography of Dali. In Dali, Cangshan and Erhai just occupy things. People in China pay attention to houses facing south, but Dali is just the opposite. Dali's buildings are east-west, with Cangshan Mountain in front and Erhai Lake in the back, which undoubtedly provides a natural barrier for their houses.

? The function of this white stone wall is not only to shelter from the wind and rain, but also to reflect the light to the homes of Dali residents when the sun shines. Her function can also drive away evil spirits.

There is a folk saying: monsters will only go straight and will not turn. Come in along this wall. The white stone wall has wiped them out. Bai people are also very clever.

There is spring in butterfly spring. Legend has it that a pair of Bai boys and girls love each other deeply, but their parents don't agree. So they all died in butterfly spring. Later, when the family went to look for bones, they didn't find them, but they saw two butterflies flying by the spring. Probably their love touched God, and when they died, they became butterfly flies with me. In the world of Han children, freedom of marriage is respected. If parents don't agree, young men and women may choose to elope. But in the world of Bai people, elopement is the greatest selfishness. So they will choose double suicide, but it seems that double suicide is not the wisest choice.

? There is another situation: people who love each other can't be together, but they can marry people who don't love each other. After marriage, they have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family and do their duty. The customs of the Bai nationality are also humanized and romantic enough. It is said that men and women who love each other but are not together will give three days a year. In these three days, an unhappy woman after marriage can find a man who loved before marriage and cry bitterly, telling him that his thoughts are endless. Enjoy the joys and sorrows of meeting each other. After marriage, both men and women can enjoy this opportunity to complain and enjoy themselves. But after three days, after three days, men and women in marriage should return to their original living conditions and assume their own responsibilities. So there is almost no divorce rate in Bai villages. Because they will not abandon their children, nor will they make their parents suffer because of unhappy marriage. So I came up with this three-day date. I can't help sighing the Bai people's views on marriage and life.

Besides beautiful legends, butterfly spring is also praised for her scenery. The lake in butterfly spring is also unusually clear. At the exit of butterfly spring, there are several streams. The tour guide told us: This is Jiulong Spring. After washing water in Jiulongquan, the first one brings wealth, the second one brings official luck and the third one brings peach blossom luck. We will be skeptical, but we still don't want to miss the water that touches Jiulong Spring. There is magic in calmness. At this thought, I forgot to count, and I was distracted. I washed three handfuls and thought: Where is the peach blossom luck?

Butterfly spring is named after a butterfly. There are geographical factors, and the formation of butterfly spring is related to the environmental conditions in this area. The spring water faces Cangshan Mountain in the west and Erhai Lake in the east. Cangshan is tall and straight, towering like a screen, with snow on the top and crystal clear in summer. Clouds gather and rain grows, and there is plenty of precipitation. Erhai Lake, with its vast area, beautiful scenery and inexhaustible flowers, has brought butterfly spring a good season with four seasons like spring.

Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake not only provide the beautiful scenery of "Silver Cang Yu Er" for human beings, but also constitute the natural environment for large-scale reproduction and growth of insects such as butterflies. Butterfly spring is located in the northeast plate of Erhai fault. Many sinkholes and karst caves have been formed under the action of groundwater dissolution, and karst aquifers have been formed by atmospheric precipitation and surface water recharge. The groundwater in the aquifer flows along the corroded pipeline, and is intercepted by fine loose objects at the contact part with alluvial deposits, and overflows the surface to form butterfly springs. The water inflow of this spring is about 18.77 liters/second. The salinity of spring water is less than 0.5 g/L, which belongs to heavy calcium carbonate magnesium water, odorless and tasteless, and the water quality is light and beautiful. The beauty of spring and the acacia beside it make butterflies naturally enjoy it. It can be seen that Liang Shanbo and Liang Shanbo died not because of Liang Shanbo and Liang Shanbo's death, but because of the special environmental conditions there.

Butterfly spring has also attracted many famous scholars to pay their respects. Guo Moruo 196 1 came to butterfly spring and wrote the three characters "butterfly spring". I don't know if he can watch butterflies dancing and phoenix dancing, but Mr. Guo's praise for butterfly spring has jumped to the page.

Coming to the center of butterfly spring, a group of Bai performers performed in the middle of the water and danced Bai dances, which formed a beautiful picture in the water.

Dali has not only butterfly spring, but also Erhai Lake, a national nature reserve and one of the seven freshwater lakes in China. It is 40 5 km long from north to south, 3 ~ 9 km wide from east to west, with a maximum water depth of 20 .7 meters and an average water depth of 65,438 00. 2 meters, and has water storage capacity.

I have admired you for a long time. How could I miss Erhai Lake? Riding a bicycle around Erhai Lake, I saw the villages inhabited by Bai people in Dali, which were distributed in strips at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. The ground floor is residential buildings, the second floor is mountains, and the third floor is clouds in the sky. A girl of the same age in Shanxi said: This cloud is so close. If we climb to the top of the mountain, will we touch it? It's really shocking visually. I have never seen a cloud so close to the sky. How spectacular. The village I saw along the way was quiet and serene.

When I boarded the cruise ship, I looked up and saw a row of Bai Apeng and Jinhua standing at the top of the cruise ship, beating gongs and drums and blowing locks to welcome tourists aboard. Sitting on a cruise ship, drifting with the wind, it was my first time to take a boat. I learned that the smell on the boat is the same as that on the car, and it is very heavy diesel. I got rid of this monster. Sitting on it, looking at the sea in the distance, the sea and mountains meet. It's beautiful.

The sea breeze is blowing head-on, so we don't care about it, just enjoy the feast of the sea. I remember that it didn't take long to swim to a place called Nanzhao Fengqing Island.

Nanzhao Fengqing Island is one of the three islands in Erhai Lake, which is located in Shuanglang Township, the northeast end of Dali City, and the golden section of Canger National Scenic Area. The island is surrounded by water, with Jizu Mountain in the east, Shi Baoshan in the north, Dali in the south and Cangshan Erhai Lake in the west. Because of its unique tourism resources, it is known as "Dali scenery in Canger, Canger scenery in Shuanglang".

The cruise broadcast allows tourists to disembark and watch the island for 30 minutes. Tourists from all walks of life want to witness the elegance of this island. I am no exception. Crowded among tourists and bought sightseeing tickets. Drive around the island.

The first sculpture visited was a group of bronze sculptures of "Daughters of Erhai Lake" on the rocks near the island. This is the image of two fishermen sharing a bed, vigorous and elegant, echoing the natural rock "Drunken Eight Immortals" on the island.

There is also an envelope Guanyin statue of the Bai people.

This is carved according to the statue of Ayiye Guanyin (or thin waist Guanyin) preserved in Nanzhao Dali Kingdom. It is 17.56 meters high, and it is the highest white marble Guanyin statue in the world. "Yunnan Renaissance" is an American scholar Helen's praise for the exquisite Dali Guanyin statue in her book "Yunnan Guanyin Statue".

After visiting these two scenic spots, time passes slowly like the water in Erhai Lake. It was almost time to return to the cruise ship, so I went back by car. On the way back, the driver didn't forget to introduce us. Look, not far away is the villa of Yang li Ping, a famous dancer in Yunnan.

The cruise ship stopped in Shuanglang ancient town for a short time, so we simply lay in bed and waited for the time to run out. Set sail again. This is the return trip. On the way back, I will re-examine the scenery that I neglected because of excitement, so as to enrich my experience. Sure enough, on the way back, I found a cloud hovering above my head. No matter what angle I change, I can look at her at close range and hold my head high. She seems to be smiling at me, making faces at me and applauding my trip to Yunnan repeatedly. Like long-lost friends, we really want to spend good time with her in the warm sunshine.

I found that the sea water changed from light blue to dark blue, probably because the direct angle of the sun was different. Sitting on a cruise ship, I felt the sea breeze coming from head to back and watched the clouds gradually leave me. She is getting smaller and smaller, but she is still waving to me and saying goodbye to me with her white and transparent gesture.

The boat slowly sailed back to the origin, docked at the shore when it came, and the trip to Erhai Lake ended. Leisurely sea breeze, sea view at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, residents. It seems that the blue sky, white clouds, Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake and Dali's houses set each other off. No wonder Dali people like white.

The beauty of Dali is not only Erhai Lake, but also the folk customs and natural beauty of the ancient city. It's just morning when we walk to the ancient city of Dali.

The weather is really great, blue sky and white clouds. When I walked to the door, the word Dali Ancient City was hung on the door. Don't go in, just look out. You think you are approaching a distant city. Approaching the inside, there are shops and shops everywhere.

The snow on Cangshan Mountain does not melt all the year round. Under the influence of nature, people at the foot of Cangshan Mountain can also extract what they need from nature. The silver they make is pure snowflake silver. It is said that this kind of silver has many benefits, so when we entered the ancient city, many merchants were selling silverware. Of course, in addition to snowflake silver, Dali also has delicious rice noodles, bait shreds and bait slices.

Ear fan, speaking of ear fan, according to the tour guide, the famous ear fan in Dali is Yangji ear fan. Walking on the main road, I saw many shops selling ear fans, and Yankee's ear fans were also overwhelmed. I didn't know which one the tour guide was talking about, so I bought a delicious ear fan that Dali people like to eat at the eclectic one. Just taste it. Putting the prepared ear fan into your mouth has a sweet and sour feeling, mixed with the unique milk taste in Inner Mongolia. It tastes bad, but it can be finished.

Foreigner Street is the end of Dali ancient city. Go further and you will reach the residential area of Dali people. In an alley in the ancient city of Dali, we walked forward and approached the farmers' market area of the ancient city. There are old farmers selling vegetables and businessmen selling wine. I heard that the rose wine in Dali is delicious and I can't bear to miss it. I hit a catty, waiting to enjoy the wine.

In Old Town of Lijiang, the ancient city of Dali is the most tasteless place. Old Town of Lijiang is already a commercial city, and you can still see the smoke curling up from the kitchen.

Although the word "foreigner" is used in Foreigner Street, I think it is mostly a paradise for China people how many people wander in it after nightfall.

When I came to Dali, I had a strong Buddhist atmosphere. People are respected and trusted.

The most desirable thing is to go to the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple.

Chongsheng Temple, bordering Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west, is located one kilometer north of the ancient city of Dali, Yunnan, at the foot of Diancang Mountain and on the shore of Erhai Lake. In history, nine Dali emperors became monks in Chongsheng Temple, which was called "Tianlong Temple" in Jin Yong's martial arts novel Tianlong Babu. The Dream of Broken Monks, which was built in Nanzhao period, records: "The original Chongsheng Temple was built at the beginning of Zhao Chu, and Luo Feng formed an alliance with Tibetan Buddhists to serve as the resident of Tibetan envoys." Dali's domestic history "Dali monks are divided into five categories" contains: "Mongols worship Taoism and respect Buddhism, and there are eight temples and four Taoist temples in the west of the city. One of the most spectacular is Chongsheng Temple, where Buddhist teachers live.

In Dali after Nanzhao, Buddhism is more developed than Nanzhao, and it is known as "Buddha Country" and "Miao Township". After the completion of Chongsheng Temple, it became the center of Buddhist activities in Nanzhao and Dali periods. The "sage" worshipped by Chongsheng Temple is Guanyin. At that time, Guanyin worship in Dali was extremely successful. Nine of the twenty-two emperors in Dali were monks in Chongsheng Temple.
