What does the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan mean?

The so-called "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan" are some unique and even peculiar phenomena or lifestyles that describe Yunnan's unique geographical location and folk customs. There are many versions of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan, some phenomena have gradually disappeared, some still exist, and some terms are exaggerated. With the development of society, remarkable achievements have been made in Yunnan's economic construction, and the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan are also different from the original eighteen eccentrics in new Yunnan.

The analysis of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan is as follows:

The first strange thing is that eggs are strung with grass: in order to facilitate buyers to carry their eggs,

Eggs are strung with grass and will not be damaged, so they are woven with bamboo sticks or wheat straws attached to the eggshell, each of which is separated and strung in ten pieces. You can hang them on the wall and eat as much as you want.

The second strange thing is to take off the hat and use it as a pot cover: there are many bamboo forests in Yunnan, so many utensils are made of bamboo. The pot cover is similar to the hat in the mainland, but the top is slightly smaller, which is easy to grasp. When used as a pot cover, it is breathable and warm, and the cooked rice is more fragrant.

The third blame is "three mosquitoes and one dish": In many areas of Yunnan, the weather is hot, and there are many mosquitoes and flies all year round, especially in the wild and livestock pens, so it is exaggerated to say that "three mosquitoes and one dish".

Fourth, the fire pipe can be used as a hookah: the pipe used by local people to smoke is very similar to that used in the mainland, except that the fire pipe is blown out and sucked in. Flue gas can be filtered with water to reduce tar concentration and taste more refreshing and mellow.

The fifth monster, Baba, is called bait block: rice produced in Yunnan is very fragrant and glutinous. After the rice is steamed and cooked, it is kneaded into a long semi-finished product, which can be fried, boiled and steamed. The color is as white as snow, like the white rice cake made in the mainland, which is called bait block locally.

The sixth monster, carrying a doll to fall in love: the local ethnic minorities are looking forward to a prosperous population, and their daughter-in-law returns home within a few days of marriage. When they have a doll, they will return to their in-laws and start a real love.

The seventh freak, wearing clothes of the four seasons: Yunnan's climate is changeable, neither hot in summer nor cold in winter. The temperature difference between day and night is large, which can be said to be a hot and cold transient. The clothes of the four seasons can be seen everywhere in the street, long and short, thick and thin, colorful and colorful.

Eighth strange, grasshoppers can be used as appetizers: people in many places in Yunnan have a hobby of eating insects, turning pests into delicious food and insects into delicious food, so grasshoppers, locusts and so on. It is a delicious appetizer because it is crispy after frying.

The ninth monster, the girl is called the old lady: in some areas of Yunnan, the accent is different from that of the empress. Calling a girl actually refers to an aunt and an empress, but calling an aunt and an empress is an old lady, so you ask a girl that he is called an old lady, and calling an old lady means that mainlanders call an aunt. The Naxi nationality in Lijiang is headed by an old lady. They are responsible for housework and are very hardworking, so they are respected by everyone.

The tenth strange thing is that monks can fall in love: Yunnan borders several Southeast Asian countries that believe in Buddhism, and men in these Buddhist countries all go to temples to become monks, just like going to school or doing military service in the mainland. At that time, they could also get married and have children, and influenced by it, the border people also wore monk clothes to fall in love.

The eleventh strange thing is that the old lady climbs mountains faster than monkeys: Yunnan has many mountains and deep valleys, and local women have been hardworking since childhood. They are used to climbing mountains and chopping wood, so they have strong bodies and feet. Old people in their seventies and eighties often climb mountains like on the ground.

The twelfth strange thing is to make up a piece at the back of the new shoes: ethnic minority women make shoes with cloth behind embroidered shoes and embroider them carefully. It is not only beautiful, but also has practical value of retaining ash and mud.

The thirteenth blame is that cars are faster than trains: because there are many mountains and canyons, Yunnan's railways have large slopes and many bends, which makes the speed of trains extremely slow, forming a unique landscape that trains are not as fast as cars.

The fourteenth monster, toes are away all the year round: Yunnan is full of mountains and mountains, so it is not convenient to walk. Climbing more mountains, running more, sweating more feet, you can make shallow shoes to expose your toes and feel cooler.

The fifteenth monster, dolls are all brought by men: it is a fashion for men to love their wives and children here, and "model husbands and excellent fathers" are everywhere in the streets. [3]

The sixteenth monster, selling peanuts and broad beans in piles: In the old days, Yunnan was virtuous and liked to barter things, and was ashamed to talk about commodity trading. As a result, peanuts and broad beans are sold in piles, and people's hearts are like that.

Strange 17, it rains here and basks there: this sentence is used to describe Yunnan's special geographical location and changeable climate in different days. Ten miles apart, there will be different weather scenes, and both sides of the same mountain are sunny and rainy. Cold air from the east is blocked in Wumeng Mountain between Yunnan and Guizhou, and it is difficult for the front to enter Yunnan, making Yunnan "like spring all the year round".

The eighteenth monster, four bamboo rats and a sack: there are many bamboo forests and bamboo shoots in the mountainous area. Most mice that eat bamboo shoots are fat, and their appearance is very different from that of domestic mice. It's better to entertain guests with such delicacies than chickens and geese.
