Four bamboo rats, broad beans and peanuts in sacks are for sale;

Pocket pony can fall in love with the doll on his back again;

Wearing clothes in the same season can produce good melons and vegetables all year round;

Take off the straw hat as the pot cover, and three mosquitoes have a dish;

Stones grow outside the sky, where it rains and where it basks;

Eggs are sold on the grass, and trains are not as fast as cars;

Young monks can fall in love, but don't talk about singing and dancing.

Grasshoppers are snacks and bamboo tubes are hookahs;

Flowers bloom all year round, and toes are exposed all year round.

The first strange thing: eggs are strung together with grass for sale: in order to make it easier for buyers to carry the eggs they bought without being damaged, local villagers weave bamboo sticks or straw against the eggshells, each of which is separated. Ten of them can be strung together and hung on the wall, and they can take as many as they want.

The second monster: take off your hat 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 monster: three mosquitoes and one dish: the weather in many areas of Yunnan is hot, and mosquitoes and flies are everywhere all year round, especially in the wild and livestock pens, so it is exaggerated to say that three mosquitoes and one dish.

The fourth monster: the fire pipe can be used as a hookah: the smoke pipe used by local people is very similar to the fire pipe blown 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: Ciba is called bait block: the 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 expect a prosperous population, and their daughter-in-law will return home within a few days of marriage. When they have a doll, they will go back to their in-laws and start a real love.

The seventh strange: four seasons clothes are worn together: Yunnan's climate is changeable, neither hot in summer nor cold in winter, and 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.

The eighth monster: 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 of the empress is not divided. Calling a girl actually refers to her aunt and mother, but calling her aunt and empress is an old lady, so you ask her if she is called an old lady, which is what mainlanders call her 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: monks can fall in love: Yunnan borders several Southeast Asian countries that believe in Buddhism. Men in these Buddhist countries all go to temples to become monks, just like going to school or doing military service in the mainland. Then they can get married and have children. Affected by this, the border people also wear monk clothes to fall in love.

The eleventh monster: the old lady climbs the mountain faster than the monkey: 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 flat ground.

The twelfth monster: a piece is added to the back of the new shoes: ethnic minority women make shoes with clever 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 monster: the car is faster than the train: because there are many mountains and canyons, the railway in Yunnan has a large slope and many bends, which makes the speed of the train extremely slow, forming a unique landscape that the train is not as fast as the car.

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 here to love their wives and children, and "model husbands and excellent fathers" abound in the streets.

The sixteenth strange thing: selling peanuts and broad beans in piles: In the old days, Yunnan was virtuous in folk customs, preferring to barter things, but ashamed to barter goods. So peanuts and broad beans are sold in piles, which makes people feel very similar.

Strange 17: It rains here and basks there: This sentence is used to describe the special geographical location of Yunnan and the 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.

Due to its unique geographical features, special climatic conditions, colorful ethnic customs and peculiar customs, Yunnan has produced many strange phenomena different from other places. After tourists and passers-by from afar left this magical land for a short time, the anecdotes they heard and witnessed gradually spread, and they were often labeled as' strange', which led to the spread of' 18 eccentrics in Yunnan' and' 28 eccentrics in Yunnan'

The so-called "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan" refers to some unique and even peculiar phenomena or lifestyles arising from the description of 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.
