Chapter 341: The Specifications of the Little White Dragon Regiment
Chapter 341 Specifications of the Little White Dragon Group
Raising and manipulating tigers has become a huge problem. He Huan feels sorry for Cheng Ju, who has not slept all night, and has to continue to clean up their mess. But his current task is to lead the group.
The more times like this, the more important it is to lead a good group!
Facing the bright red rising sun on the Lancang River, the White Dragon Flag flutters and is dyed with a touch of red.
He Huan began to explain: "We are going to look at the Sky Tree today."
The tourists also turned around and focused their attention on the little white dragon and the flag flying behind him. Many years later, they will remember this trip to Banna! They will all remember that they participated in an epoch-making event!
"The Tropical Botanical Garden I went to yesterday, as I told you, was founded by Professor Cai Xitao in the 1950s. The Sky-Watching Tree is a real virgin forest. The oldest Sky-Winning Tree is over a thousand years old.
It is precisely because of the existence of the sky tree that our country's rainforests are recognized by the international community. The sky tree is the iconic tree species of the tropical rainforest, so this scenic spot is named after this iconic tree species.
Wangtianshu is in Mengla County, and it takes about two hours. There are one city and two counties in Banna, Jinghong City, Menghai County, and Mengla County. Do you know why there are so many Meng in the place names of Banna?"
He Huan looked at the tourists and everyone shook their heads.
"There are 32 towns in Banna, half of which are named after Meng. Meng is composed of several Man. Therefore, the place name Man is also very common in Banna.
Man is a village. In Dai language, there is a saying, 'Sang Heng Bin Man, Ha Man Bin Meng', which means that more than three households form a village, and more than five villages form a Meng."
"So few?"
"Yes, this is an autonomous region with a small country and few people. The geographical space is generally a dam. Because here there are mountains and rivers, numerous valleys, and each dam is very small. It is not like a large plain or a large basin.
Also because of the barrier of mountains and rivers, in ancient times, each tribe was relatively independent and had its own leader or leader, who was equivalent to the village chief and represented the highest authority, forming a stable social structure."
The tourists nodded.
"But Meng doesn't just mean towns, it also means kingdoms. Such kingdoms are usually composed of multiple Meng. For example, Banna was called Menglu in ancient times. The surrounding Lancang Kingdom, also known as ancient Laos, was called Mengnanzhang. The ancient kingdom in northern Thailand
The Lanna Kingdom is called Mengyong."
The tourists looked at him and listened attentively.
“In addition to referring to villages and kingdoms, Meng also has cultural forms and national concepts. For example, the Dai language calls the Chinese-speaking area Menghua, the Dai area is called Mengdai, and the Burmese area is called Mengji.
They call the capital city Mengwang, Nanjing Mengnandai, and Chuncheng Mengze. We call their Nanmi Lanzhang Lancangjiang River, and they also call our area Mengsha, Mengsha.
For example, after a while, the Dai people in Mengla saw our waving little white dragon flag and said: Hey! Everyone, come and see! Some of these little white dragons are coming to our Mengla with the Meng Chinese!"
A bunch of people were stunned! The tourists were stunned for a while and laughed.
Master Chen also looked at Xiao Bailong with a smile. He is really a man who is not afraid of trouble and can hold his own!
"This is the charm of different languages. From place names to language forms, a kind of Meng culture has been formed, just like the culture of the Central Plains. Meng culture is composed of water culture, rice planting, ancestor worship, folk customs, etc.
Before the 1950s, almost all place names in Banna were Meng. As educated youth went to the countryside, many place names had been changed to Chinese names.
When we talk about educated youth going to the countryside, we have to sing a song: The beautiful XSBN cannot keep my father. Shanghai is so big, does it have my home..."
Everyone sang along and smiled.
"Don't laugh. At that time, many educated youths did come to remote Banna. They met local girls and boys and had children. Then after the educated youths returned to the city, they got married again.
When these children grow up and learn about their life experiences, they go to Shanghai to find their father and mother. But they will not admit it. This is a mark left by an era.
You are here to travel today, but they were here to work originally. The conditions are different. Nowadays, water, land and air transportation are developed. In the past, it was very difficult to come or go back.
There are only rainforests here, and the huge mosquitoes, venomous snakes and beasts in the rainforest are not acceptable to young people in the city. After these long and hard years, the only good thing is that the locals are open and free in their feelings.
Unlike the Han people who need the orders of their parents and the advice of a matchmaker, the Dai people can be together as long as they like. Then they will naturally be together and have children. But it is understandable that they want to return to the city."
He Huan talked about the years when educated youth went to the countryside and returned to the city.
A group of modern young people were shocked when they heard this.
"In order to have a bright future and escape from the backward and difficult Yunzhou, the great return to the city movement was launched in the 1970s. In 1979, 90% of the educated youth left Yunzhou, leaving many wives and children behind.
There are only about 3,000 people. They can't bear to leave their families, so they stay and become locals. This is understandable. Nowadays, many parents like to control their children and keep them by their side. They talk a lot of big principles, and they are all for you.
In fact, most of the young people of every generation put their own freedom and future first. There are only a few who can choose their lover and children and would rather give up their future and freedom for them."
Everyone nodded. It felt like it was difficult for someone like Xiao Bailong to be restrained because he knew too much!
"Didn't I sing that song at the Botanical Garden yesterday? The last original line was to walk to the marriage registration office together."
"Ah!" Everyone was surprised.
"This is really not very beautiful! Everyone thinks it's too straightforward and too tacky! I'm used to singing "Let's walk together towards the green mist. We won't tell you what we do when we walk deep into the bamboo forest!"
The tourists all laughed.
"This is indeed very beautiful, but it has a sequelae, which is to move towards the green fog, which is a cloud of fog. After all, there is no clear matchmaker to marry, no family constraints like the Han people, no responsibilities and no obligations.
So when they abandon such a lover and their children, they don't feel too guilty and there is no cost. They return to the city, get their marriage certificate, and live a normal life.
This song is not a Dai folk song, its original purpose is to promote the marriage law to these young Dai people who love and combine freely."
"Ah!" The tourists were very surprised.
"Marriage is the grave of love, but it is also the guarantee of love. That's right. Falling in love without the purpose of getting married is just a hooligan!"
"Hahaha……"
"Now that there are various protective measures, it is still much better. In the past, if there were basically not so many methods, it would be easy to have a child, and you would have to give birth. And if you are not responsible, it will cause a lot of harm to the woman and the child.
of."
Everyone nodded.
"Fortunately, as a nation that is free and open to emotions, there is no resistance to marrying with children. So many girls remarry with children.
How open are they? Even if a young man falls in love with a girl, the girl won't object, so the young man will climb up the bamboo building, wrap her up in a bamboo mat, and carry the girl away."
Everyone laughed.
"It's very romantic." He Huan said, "But you took her away, and then you had a better future. You found the right girl. You went on a blind date and got married. You didn't hesitate to take the girl you took away.
, including your children, throw it away."
"ah!"
"So, if you don't plan to take care of your children and each other, don't do this." He Huan said, "It's hard to condemn them now. Because of the policy at the time, they could only return to the city by themselves, and the lover and children could not register for residence when they returned.
.Or stay.
It is human nature to love freedom and embrace love. At that time, I wrote about going to the marriage registration office, but in the end, everyone still loves freedom and unrestrained, and still wants to go to the green fog."
"Hahaha……"
"Those girls and children who were left behind are so pitiful!"
Master Chen also listened very seriously and suddenly said: "My biological father is an educated youth. But he is not from Shanghai, but from Beijing."
He Huan turned to look at him. There was no emotion on his face. The tourists also looked at him sympathetically.
"I took the whole family here for a trip when I was old." Master Chen said lightly, "But we just met and exchanged a few words, nothing else. I remarried with my mother.
My father is also from the Dai ethnic group, but my mother did not change my surname."
Everyone was speechless. The master looked to be forty or fifty years old. His father was probably about seventy years old. Who could say anything except the person involved?
However, it is still possible to judge his emotional tendencies by calling his father a Dai nationality and his biological father a Han nationality.
"I went to serve as a soldier, but he still made some efforts." Master Chen added.
There was silence in the car.
You can laugh when you listen to a story. But if this story happens to people around you, you can’t laugh.
However, we also arrived at Wangtianshu Scenic Area.
A long red banner was hung at the entrance of the scenic spot, which read: Warmly welcome the Little White Dragon Group to Wangtianshu!
"Wow!" the tourists were excited in the car.
He Huan also looked at this banner. Is this an agreed upon decision?
The car stopped directly in the square, and a group of people couldn't wait to get out of the car.
A melodious song sounded, and a group of girls wearing tube skirts and flowers in their hair turned their backs to them and twisted their soft waists. As the music melodized, the girls turned their heads and danced to them with smiles on their faces.
The tourists were so moved that they held their faces in their hands and quickly picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.
Many individual tourists also gathered nearby to take pictures, taking pictures of dancing girls and little white dragons.
They are the only one on the team.
After the dance, a woman next to him walked up to He Huan, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Bailong, I am Yu Jia, director of the Wangtianshu Publicity Department. Welcome to the Xiao Bailong Group!"
He Huan was really moved and held her hand.
Yujia shook hands with him and nodded to his tourists with a smile. The tourists were all smiling. The standards of the Little White Dragon Group are a bit high!
The individual tourists next to me were very envious and took part in a song and dance performance.
Yujia led them up the stairs painted with a whole green peacock.
The girls and boys standing on both sides of the steps were holding water bowls and splashing water drops on them with smiles. The tourists were so excited that they felt like they were participating in the Water Splashing Festival.
At the ticket office, Yujia took He Huan's group order, bought tickets for them, and led them in.
"Director Yu, why is the team so small?" He Huan asked.
"Wangtianshu is far away from Jinghong, and if a tour group wants to go to Wangtianshu, the fare they charge is very high, so many groups don't come."
He Huan understood. No wonder he welcomed the Little White Dragon Group so grandly! The Little White Dragon Group can bring traffic to the scenic spot!
"Besides, the Banna passenger service is on strike today, and all group tours in Banna have been suspended." Yujia approached him again and said softly, "The drivers are all at the tourism bureau."
"Ah!" He Huan kept explaining in the car, but he didn't know that they just stopped.
I'm going to Stone City tomorrow and asking for leave.
