Poems describing the scenery of Xishuangbanna

Thousands of lotus flowers bloom together.

Thousands of clouds fall from the sky.

The walking moon also crept into the bamboo house.

Listen to me sing the touching Langasi River.

The story is like a trickle of spring water.

I want it to flow into the hearts of Dai people.

This story is like sweet-scented osmanthus.

I want it to incense Dai's bamboo house.

My story is like a raging river.

My story is like a vast ocean.

Please listen carefully.

The inspiring Langasi River has a long history.

Dai poetry and stories and legends. Poetry and stories and legends occupy an extremely important position in Dai literature and art. Dai poetry includes three main parts: ancient ballads, love songs and long narrative poems. Ancient ballads can be roughly divided into labor songs, production songs, ritual songs, blessing song, folk songs and children's songs.

Love songs can be divided into "courtship poems" and "lovelorn poems" according to their main contents. Its characteristics have mixed meanings of "love sound", "love story" and "love letter".

Dai people have 550 narrative poems, including creation epic, myth epic, hero epic and tragedy narrative poem. The mythical epic Bird Chabalot, Jamba Xidun, Langasi River, the creation epic Batamaga Pengshangluo and the heroic epic Zhanxiang are also called "the five great poets".

Among these long poems, there are six famous tragic narrative poems, namely, Walking Show, Ava and Three Falls, Ye Hanzuo and Mao Nongyang, Gourd Heart, South and Wan Na and Paley.

Most of Dai folk stories are oral, and a few are manuscripts. Story types include China, historical legends, romantic legends, life stories, character stories, animal and plant stories, fairy tales and fables.

Extended data:

Xishuangbanna, a collective name of Xishuangbanna Autonomous Prefecture, is a minority autonomous prefecture with Dai as the main body, with a total area of 19000 square kilometers, bordering Laos and Myanmar on three sides. The Lancang River, known as the "Oriental Danube", left the country and was renamed Mekong River, connecting Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Xishuangbanna is a beautiful, magical and rich paradise on earth, which is characterized by the staggered influence of continental climate and maritime climate. The annual average temperature is between (18-22) degrees, with no severe cold in winter and no intense heat in summer, making it an ideal summer resort.

This is an oasis on the tropic of cancer, with the best tropical rain forest and colorful primitive ethnic customs in the world. In this mysterious land, there are more than 4 million mu of national nature reserves, and there are nearly 900,000 people living in Dai, Hani, Jino and other 13 ethnic minorities, which is one of the regions with the richest and most diverse biological species on earth.

Xishuangbanna, with its well-preserved ecological environment, gorgeous and charming ethnic customs and unique geographical advantages, has not only become an ecological home where human beings live in harmony with nature, but also a transportation hub between China and Southeast Asian countries. Known as the "animal kingdom", "plant kingdom" and species gene bank.

Walking into the small building of the Dai family deep in the bamboo forest, Xiao Bu will greet you with her graceful posture, taste Dai tea and listen to the special living habits and beautiful stories of the Dai family, which will inevitably bring you into a mysterious desire to explore.

Dai nationality is a nationality without surname and has its own writing. Young people call it "Maoduoli" and girls call it "Saint Li Duo". For older men, it means "old peach", it means uncle, for older women, it means "old peach" and it means aunt.

No matter how many people in the whole family live together, we should pay attention to taking off (shoes), touching (pillars) and not looking (bedroom) when entering the Dai bamboo building. When you come to the Dai bamboo house, you must first take off your shoes, enter the attic, and touch the pillar called "happiness leaning" in the hall, and happiness and good luck will come.

Of course, you can't look at the bedroom, and you dare not. If you look at the bedroom, you have to serve three years of hard labor. Three years later, if the master takes a fancy to you, he will recruit you as a door-to-door son-in-law, so that you can reach for clothes to make a living. Of course, if you are a cultured person with glasses, you will enjoy special preferential treatment and only need to be a coolie for half a year. But according to people who know the inside story, coolie for half a year is also an act.

Only educated intellectuals of the Dai people really can't bear to suffer hardships. They just need to teach in the stockade.

Dai people don't have a monk position, so there are more than 500 temples in Xishuangbanna. Dai family members only believe in Buddhism. The boy became a monk when he was a child, got enlightenment education in the temple, became secular when he grew up, and got married and had children. He is one of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan.

Dai people have three main festivals: Closing Festival, Opening Festival and Water-splashing Festival.

The closing festival is on July 15, and the opening festival is on July 10/5. The Songkran Festival is equivalent to the Spring Festival of Han nationality. Dai people take June as the first year, usually from June 13th to 15th, also called "June New Year". The month sequence of the Dai calendar is three months later than the Gregorian calendar, and June of the Dai calendar is equivalent to April of the Gregorian calendar, so the Water-splashing Festival is in the middle of April of the Gregorian calendar.

Every time we go to the Songkran Festival, Dai girls dressed in colorful flowers can be seen everywhere, forming a beautiful and charming landscape, like colorful flowers blooming in the crowd.

Usually, as a tourist project, a large-scale water-splashing festival performance is held at four o'clock every afternoon. When it arrives, there is still a little time before the performance. I can only see the jumping crowd and the crowded crowd on the field. Sao and Mao, wearing bright Dai costumes, are performing Dai dances.

Every movement, every gesture and every smile reveals the bold and free-spirited character of the Dai family, showing strong national characteristics and romantic customs. When splashing water, people will splash on everyone, whether they know it or not, gently holding sincere wishes and showering people with excitement;

Happy Water-splashing Festival, simple ethnic customs, affectionate and kind Dai girls, accompanied by warm and melodious cucurbit silk, all tourists are intoxicated by the charming wind-tailed bamboo.

Walking on the mountain road beside the Lancang River, because the river is not very big yet, all the rivers are red and yellow. This is because the soil contains a lot of iron. After years of rain erosion, rust turns yellow soil into red. The reason why Lancang River water shows such a color is because it contains such red soil, and red soil has become another unique geographical feature of Yunnan.

Arriving at Olive Dam is also a morning market for Dai people. Yellow and red colorful fruits are piled up like mountains, and the fragrance is ten miles. Tropical fruits such as coconut, banana, egg fruit and jackfruit are so bright that people are drooling. The sound of bitter gourd shreds came from their ears, and they were tasting famous and unknown fresh fruits.

Looking at the beautiful image of the Dai family "Sao", I feel the fresh breath of the tropical rain forest, as if I had entered the fairy house, which is wonderful and natural.

Walking on the strange winding path in the forest, there are trees in full of green all over the mountains. The trees with low weight and high height are lush, grow freely, and almost fill the whole space. Only the sun occasionally shines through the cracks, making people feel the size of heaven and earth, but they feel the depth of the trees.

Facing the forest, let you truly realize what is mysterious and profound, deeply feel your own smallness and the beauty of life: the strange "three trees" grow together, bite and wind into the sky;

The strangulation tree is a parasitic tree. A tree species germinates and grows on another tree. As time goes on, the tree grows bigger and bigger, and the trunk is covered with green fruits. However, the tree as a mother died because of long-term lack of nutrition and water. It can be seen that "natural selection, survival of the fittest" refers not only to the animal kingdom, but also to the plant kingdom of the biological world.

As the saying goes, "it takes ten years to plant trees, but it takes a hundred years to cultivate people", and the "birch" here is a hundred years to cultivate people. It can be seen that it is not easy for trees to become talents like people; There is also a "poison arrow tree" that seals the throat with blood. The ancients took its juice and dipped it in arrows, often called poisonous arrows;

Never touch the branches and leaves of "hemp tree", otherwise your hands will be as painful and numb as scalds, and there is no medicine to solve them. Only time is the best medicine;

A kind of redwood called "looking up to the sky tree" is tens of feet long and towering into the sky, and the top of the tree can't be seen by the naked eye. The most valuable thing is the "spinulosa spinulosa". The tree is not very big, like the three-year-old poplar in the plain area, but it has grown for thousands of years and is the favorite food of dinosaurs in ancient centuries.

It is said that only four bamboo buildings have been preserved. Although similar, the stories in Dai bamboo houses have left many illusions for people. The colors in the forest are called living fossils in plants; A big tree was blown by the wind just across the mountain stream, across the ditch to form a single-plank bridge, and slowly walked on it, with little worries and deep sighs; The small "dancing grass" is slightly domineering, and the "cycad king" has its own characteristics;

Rows of bamboos form a sea of bamboo dancing with the wind, like a beautiful and affectionate Dai girl, calling for distant guests, with different shapes and endless charm. How can one revel in this thick brown bamboo style? Bamboo and Banna have inseparable love. Bamboo rafts, bamboo bowls, bamboo rice, bamboo wine, especially bamboo houses, people live upstairs, livestock live downstairs, birds are singing cheerful songs, and they are free and carefree.

At this time, how I wish I could become a bird, sleep quietly in the depths of the forest in the evening and blend into the mountains and the green sea. In this beautiful morning, let my dreams grow with the beautiful scenery and let my tired body and mind fly completely. Being in this green ocean, there is a vast forest overhead;

At the foot are layers of bamboo seas, all kinds of plants are dazzling, the atmosphere is unique, and the spectacular scenery makes people linger.

At night, walking into Xishuangbanna National Customs Garden seems to be like walking into a green ocean, with slim betel nuts, swaying coconut trees, lush grasslands, wonderful songs and dances and intoxicating scenery, welcoming guests and friends from all directions.

Tall trees stand in the sky, exotic plants can be seen everywhere, unknown trees are covered with all kinds of fresh fruits that can't be named, the air is filled with rich floral fragrance, and the fresh breath surrounds you tightly; Eat Dai barbecue, drink Dai wine, watch the song and dance bonfire party of "Night of Lancang Meigong River", and the wonderful rhyme of cucurbit silk turns to the ear, and endless happy programs are panoramic;

Taste the national customs dance, and the rough and unrestrained Dai boys show it incisively and vividly. The colorful skirts of Dai girls are spinning proudly like peacocks, and the infinite charm makes you dream again and again, and the atmosphere is beautiful.

Light red candles, sing and dance around the bonfire, then walk to the river with a long stream of people, put the burning candle boat on the water, make a wish, and let the dream drift and sail with the fire boat. This is all the happiness and beauty of life.

In Xishuangbanna, a green land, you can appreciate the mystery of the tropical rain forest and the charm of nature, feel the novelty of returning to nature and the harmony with nature, and experience the ease and comfort of life.
