Who is more worthy of the name "Colorful Yunnan" or "Colorful Guizhou"?

As two major tourist provinces in China, both Yunnan and Guizhou have their own representative tourism publicity brands. The two neighboring windy provinces not only have some similarities in scenery, culture and diet, but also are strikingly similar in tourism promotion brands. Yunnan put forward "colorful Yunnan" and Guizhou put forward "colorful Guizhou", which made some netizens in the two provinces argue endlessly. The two provinces have their own characteristics, depending on which province's tourism brand is more worthy of the name.

"Colorful Yunnan" brand was registered in 1992 by Yunnan Nuoshida Group, and has since become the representative brand of Yunnan tourism. Yunnan tourism started in China the earliest (1978-1988), so Yunnan tourism has a wide popularity in China and even the world. 1992, Nuoshida Group put forward the brand of "Colorful Yunnan", which is more deeply rooted in people's hearts. The theory of "Colorful Yunnan" has the legend and historical origin of Meng Huo's seven captures in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which makes the tourism brand even more impressive.

"Colorful Guizhou" brand was put forward by Guizhou Province in 2005, and it is the first regional cultural brand in China. Before the past 20 12, the tourism popularity and popularity of Guizhou province were far behind the neighboring provinces. Many people think that this brand positioning is to adopt a brand following strategy. Before 20 12, the tourism industry did not improve for a long time, so they followed the example of Yunnan, which was the first to develop tourism next door. In the past, the brand "Colorful Guizhou" has not been given a good meaning for a long time. With the country's attention to the development of Guizhou after 20 12, this brand has a new meaning, referring to the colorful landscape and national culture of Guizhou. "Colorful Guizhou" is gradually known to outsiders with the improvement of Guizhou's popularity.

Yunnan is located on the warm wind side of Kunming quasi-static front (Yunnan-Guizhou quasi-static front), which is influenced by the surrounding mountains, Yunnan-Guizhou plateau, warm and humid airflow in the Indian Ocean and other factors. Here, the sun is shining, the seasons are like spring, and the clouds are changeable, such as Hat Cloud, Wang Miyun, Dai Liyun and rainbow cloud, which have been frequently screened in Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La in recent years. It is precisely because of these beautiful clouds and the transparent blue sky in Yunnan Plateau that "South of Colorful Clouds" and "Colorful Yunnan" are more worthy of the name, which also makes many articles describing Yunnan's sea of clouds from ancient times to the present, such as Wang Zengqi, Shen Congwen and other modern famous writers have written about Yunnan's Tianhe sea of clouds, and Lin is even more obsessed with Yunnan's days. The name Yunnan, together with colorful clouds and blue sky, makes the brand "Colorful Yunnan" more appropriate.

Colorful Yunnan is worthy of the name and province name, but it is not so worthy of the name in natural landscape, natural climate, national history and food culture. Yunnan's unique topography, climate and history have created a wide variety of natural landscapes, climate, nationalities, humanities and diets. Such diversity cannot be completely covered by Yunnan's simple "colorful".

In the west of Yunnan, Hengduan Mountain System, located at the junction of the first step of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the second step of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, can be called the world's mountains and rivers with high altitude, with Meili Snow Mountain, the first of the eight sacred mountains, and the alpine plateau topography consisting of the famous Yulong Snow Mountain, Haba Snow Mountain, Gaoligong Mountain and Cangshan Mountain. There are valley topography such as Tiger Leaping Gorge, Three Parallel Rivers and Dulongjiang Gorge, and plateau lakes such as Erhai Lake, Pudacuo Lake, Napahai Lake, Lugu Lake and Tingming Lake. There are large and small dams scattered in these alpine valleys, such as Dali Dam, Lijiang Dam and Baoshan Dam, which create conditions for the development of residents' lives. There are also alpine plateaus, canyons, dams and other landforms in the middle, south, north and east of Yunnan, with Wumeng Mountain, Ailao Mountain, Sedan Snow Mountain, Shilin, Tulin, Dianchi Lake and Fuxian Lake as typical examples.

Yunnan, with rich topography, unique natural landscape and diverse climate, has a cold zone, temperate zone, subtropical zone and tropical climate in one province. The diverse climate has brought good habitats for all kinds of creatures, making Gaoligong Mountain and other places become hot spots of global biodiversity, making Yunnan have tropical rain forests and all kinds of tropical creatures in Xishuangbanna, all kinds of subtropical animals and plants in Ailao Mountain, and all kinds of plateau and alpine creatures in Diqing Prefecture. The Botanical Garden of Chinese Academy of Sciences has a research institute in Yunnan, and the 1999 World Horticultural Exposition was held in Yunnan. Dounan, Kunming has become the largest base of fresh cut flowers in Asia. United Nations biodiversity conference held in Yunnan.

The diverse terrain also isolated the ancient tribes, and gathered to form 26 distinctive ethnic groups living in this land, forming a rich and diverse minority culture, foreign culture and the cultural history of the Central Plains. Typical examples are Dali Bai folk houses, Lijiang Naxi culture, Lijiang Dongba culture, Dulong tattoo, Ashima, Tengchong Huizhou architecture, Laomudeng Church, Dali Buddha Capital, Lijiang Shogunate, Dali Nanzhao State, Hani Terrace and so on. A variety of national cultures have produced many excellent national music, such as Running Water, butterfly spring Edge and Pteris in the Moonlight. Multi-ethnic cultures bring diverse diets, and the convergence of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural cultures in Yunnan produces unique diets such as Dai flavor, Tibetan diet, flower banquet and insect banquet.

It is really not enough to describe such a colorful Yunnan with "colorful Yunnan", so "colorful Yunnan" is not "worthy of the name".

Guizhou is located on the side of the quasi-static front and cold front in Kunming. The terrain on the edge of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is broken, rainy all the year round, lacking dams, flat land and many strange peaks and rocks. Therefore, there is a saying that "the sky is not clear for three days and the ground is not flat for three feet". Guizhou also belongs to the plateau, with an altitude of about1.500m, which is slightly lower than most parts of Yunnan. Although there are few sunny days, the sky in the central and western regions is relatively transparent when it is sunny. Blue sky and white clouds bring a disadvantage, that is, ultraviolet rays are as strong as those in Yunnan, and most people in the central and western regions have bad skin. It's foggy in rainy days, and the strange peaks and rocks shine like fairyland.

Guizhou's broken terrain, mountainous and tiankeng canyon. Guizhou is characterized by karst landforms, and karst rocks are developed. Although there are no wonders such as Yunnan Stone Forest and Puzhehei, Fan Jing, Huangguoshu Waterfall, Seven Arches, Shibing Yuntai Mountain, Nanjiang Grand Canyon, Monkey's Ear Tiankeng and Guilan Mountain are not lost to Yunnan's karst landforms, and they also have unique landforms such as Chishui Danxia. This kind of terrain brings a strange landscape and a sense of mystery to the outside world. The unique terrain has created conditions for biodiversity in Guizhou, which makes Guizhou rich in rare plants such as spinulosa spinulosa, and Fanjingshan is rich in animals and plants. Although it is not as diverse as hot spots, it is much richer than the central and eastern regions.

Guizhou is relatively isolated under the broken terrain, forming a minority culture dominated by Buyi, Dong and Miao. Influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang's period, Guizhou was deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, forming a situation of the integration and development of Han nationality and multi-nationalities. Therefore, there are rich and colorful national cultures here, such as Dong Liping folk songs, Xijiang Qianhu Miao village, Buyi embroidery, Anshun Tunpu culture, Zhenyuan ancient town, Hailongtun, Dejiang Nuo opera and other national cultures and history. Diversified national culture and geographical location close to Yun Chuan, Chongqing, Guixiang and other provinces and cities have created diverse diets, such as eating pickled vegetables in Guangxi, famous pickled fish in Dushan, Qiandongnan and Kaili, mala Tang in Sichuan and Chongqing, famous shrimp mutton powder in Zunyi, mutton powder in Shuicheng, all kinds of hot pot cooking, and unique delicacies such as Huaxi beef powder, Panxian ham and kung pao chicken, all of which constitute a diverse and delicious Guizhou diet. In addition, Guizhou's unique climate has formed a good brewing environment, producing world-famous Moutai and various domestic famous wines, and Chishui River has become a "wine river".

Guizhou's unique natural landscape, ethnic characteristics and rich food and wine deserve the word "colorful", and "colorful Guizhou" is worthy of its name.
