The governor was already shaking hands warmly with the experts, and walked up to He Huan again, "Xiao Bailong, welcome! You have brought so many experts to our place!"
The tourism director also came over, as if looking at the God of Wealth. Little Bailong is always popular wherever he goes! They all know that this route was decided by Xiaobailong.
He Huan shook hands with them with a smile on his face, "Thank you, thank you. I haven't slept for two nights. I will take them to take a bath in the afternoon. The leaders don't need to accompany them. They can just busy themselves."
"Okay, okay, then we'll wait for you to have dinner."
"OK."
After walking into the hotel and collecting everyone's ID cards, the governor accompanied the experts and the director led him to the front desk.
The room had already been arranged, and the room card was put aside. After registration, it was handed to him immediately.
He Huan came over and looked at the photography team, "There are also tourists coming to the Nu River now, and the bathhouse party is also very famous. There are many tourists and photographers taking photos of them with their mobile phones and cameras.
Everyone is not as natural as before. It turns out that although they bathe naked and share baths, the people bathing are very natural and do not stare at them, let alone take pictures.
Nowadays, tourists and photographers from outside not only like to take pictures but also like to post them online. So now men and women are divided into different pools. Except for some old people and children, they basically wear underwear."
"I don't want to divide the pool!" Liang Ange said.
Qin Kong looked at her.
"What do you think I'm doing? Is it okay if I wear a long down jacket and take a shower?"
Everyone laughed.
"They say don't stare, it's not serious!"
Everyone laughed.
Qin Kong smiled, shook his head and turned away, saying he couldn't care less, he couldn't care less.
He Huan said: "The ethnic minorities in Yunzhou are open and honest, and everyone lived in peace and harmony before. However, the impact of foreign culture has indeed had a great impact on them and made them feel uncomfortable.
They used to be unwatched and unphotographed, but now they are surrounded and photographed, which is a kind of curiosity-seeking mentality. And then if it is spread out, then they will become the objects of scrutiny and criticism, which is not very respectful.
No one likes to be watched when taking a bath, and they are pointed at each other with spears and cannons.
So, everyone is not going to take pictures today, just relax and take a good bath. After all, I haven’t taken a bath in the past two days..."
A group of people laughed.
"I didn't sleep much either. I just took a shower and then everyone has a good rest today, okay?"
"good!"
Chen Ying looked at Xiao Bailong and said, "Is it okay if I take the scene?"
"Yes, it's also very lively outside the pool. The formal bathhouse will be held during the Spring Festival, which is the Lisu people's seven-day New Year fun. There are climbing mountains and seas of fire, archery, wrestling, swings, singing competitions, and many, many activities.
Taking a bath is quite pure, it’s just a pure bath. So everyone should be more pure. Photographers are tired after so many days, so just put it down and take a good bath!"
"Okay!" The photography guy was very happy, and Xiao Bailong was considerate!
Who enjoys carrying such a big guy and staring at them?
He Huan then gave them the room cards, and everyone ran to the elevator.
I arrived in the poorest place but stayed in the best hotel. I was on the bank of the Nu River, watching the sunrise, sunset, mountains and rivers, surrounded by beautiful scenery.
But everyone was more looking forward to the bathhouse party, so they all put on their swimsuits. Before departure, He Huan also reminded them that they would be soaking in hot springs this time, so everyone brought them with them.
He Huan was the quickest and went downstairs first to wait. He saw Master Li happily wearing shorts instead of swimming trunks, standing so naked in the lobby. He took off his pants and came down!
He Huan couldn't help laughing, "Brother Li, can you be more reserved? We haven't even reached the bathhouse yet!"
"Ah?" Master Li looked at himself and the little girls at the front desk who were all snickering, "Then let me go up and put on my pants! Wait for me!"
Several experts who walked out of the elevator carrying swimming trunks laughed when they saw him.
It seemed that except for Master Li, who was more willful, everyone still didn't take off their clothes right now. They all carried swimsuits, towels and slippers. Some even brought hotel bathrobes.
He Huan greeted them to get on the bus, but Master Li drove it. He Huan didn't know what he was thinking and got off in shorts.
"The hot spring is very close, twelve kilometers away, so I'll just give you a brief introduction.
Lisu first appeared in the records of the Tang Dynasty and were called Luoluo tribe, which is also a branch of the Yi ethnic group.
It is also recorded in the Naxi Dongba Sutra and is called Meisu or Lisu. In short, it is closely related to the Yi and Naxi people.
The name Lisu has been used for thousands of years, but what it means is still unclear. Understanding it from Chinese or Naxi is not accurate. Some foreign discussions, including some, are somewhat subjective.
Our current fifty-five ethnic minorities, especially those in Yunzhou, were identified after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The identification method is based on the national will, that is, what they call themselves.
So if we can only explain it subjectively, we also base it on their own subjectivity. Lisu, they themselves interpret it as people who like to have fun together. Then let’s go with this meaning.
The Lisu people really like to be lively. They have many festivals with rich content. Each festival is a carnival of literature, art and sports.
We are just going to join in the fun now."
The elf who loved to join in the fun couldn't wait to hold her swimsuit.
"So we respected their wishes and took off their clothes to experience it for ourselves. It would be impolite to watch others bathing and photograph others bathing while wearing clothes. Everyone must be honest with each other."
The experts laughed.
"The origin of the Nujiang Lisu bathhouse party is said to be that fairies came down to earth together to bathe in a lake in the Biluo Snow Mountain.
Fairies really like to come down to earth to take a bath. I wonder if all the rain from the sky has fallen to the ground, and there is a lack of water in the sky."
Everyone laughed.
"How many clothes were stolen from them for this!"
A group of people raised their heads and laughed.
"But this time, it was not the young man who peeked at the fairy taking a bath, but two Lisu girls. When the girls saw it, they thought, hey, it's so romantic and fun, let's take a bath too.
So after the fairies flew away, they also found a piece of water at the foot of the mountain, and invited their friends to take a bath, and more and more people came.
They like to be lively, and they even sing when taking a bath. It alarms the gods, so it’s strange that mere mortals deserve to take a bath?"
Everyone covered their faces.
"The gods want you not to take a bath, but you actually dare to take a bath?" He Huan said amidst the laughter of a car, "The gods were offended by their inexplicable sense of superiority, so they turned the two leading girls into two mountains.
It's the Spring Festival, the spring thunder rang, and the two sister mountains spurted out two streams of scalding spring water at the same time. If you don't let us take a bath, we will become bath water."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"At this time, a hunter who was bitten by a poisonous snake and a fisherman who was dying of miasma walked here, fainted by the hot spring, fell in, and miraculously woke up, and the poison was gone.
If we live and die together and soak in the same pool of water, we might as well drink the bathing water from the same pool."
"Hahaha……"
"The two of them drank it together, and after drinking it, they became strong and energetic. They became brothers and spread the news everywhere, so this place became the holy water of the Lisu people.
They believe that this hot spring is the hot blood of the two sisters, which can wash away fatigue and bad luck, eliminate disasters and diseases in the new year, and bring good fortune.
Since then, in the first month of every year, a unique folk culture has been formed in which Lisu people from all over the country come here to bathe."
A group of experts looked serious. As expected, they were not experts in scientific research, but experts in literature and art.
"This is a legend. The earliest record of the Bathhouse Club in history was in the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty strengthened its rule over Yunzhou. So it might be earlier.
Anyway, after the rainy season every year, the water level of the Nu River drops, and large and small springs will be exposed along the Nu River. This is where Liuku comes from.
But that doesn’t mean that everyone comes here just to soak. They usually go hunting and farming, but in the first month of the year, when the Lisu people have worked hard for a year, they come down from the mountains with their families and luggage to go to the hot springs to wash away the fatigue of the year.
They call it holy water, which can bring health and good luck. Moreover, it is also the New Year, so everyone does not need to visit relatives and friends. It is really not easy to visit relatives in these high mountains and valleys.
Everyone comes together to take a bath, and relatives and friends meet. Young men and women can also fall in love.
In the holy water, men and women bathe together and see each other honestly.
But now, except for the elderly mothers who have been used to doing this all their lives and don't care about the curiosity and scrutiny of outsiders, young girls are rarely naked.
This is like the Zuni Village in Nannuo Mountain. The wood carvings at the entrance are all dressed in clothes. The unified worship of the Yunzhou ethnic minorities is nature worship, primitive worship."
Everyone nodded, "Well, I feel like the foreign cultural impact is quite big."
"Foreign culture is not just the culture of the Central Plains. Many people in the canyons as deep as the Nu River believe in Catholicism and Christianity. After the establishment of the new era, we advocate freedom of belief and respect the beliefs of ethnic minorities.
But it is indeed because the environment at that time was not good and survival was difficult, so people needed faith and mysterious power to explain all this and tell them the way to escape. Regardless of whether it was efficacious or not, this was a sustenance."
"Compared with the complete and strict rules and regulations of other sects, our local religion is not aloof and was born among the people.
The people's beliefs are also very simple and simple. The relationship with God is not as obvious as other religions. Our believers and the objects of belief are in an equal or even friends relationship.
Before the introduction of Catholicism and Christianity, the Nujiang Lisu people, like other ethnic minorities, believed in animistic nature worship.
They believe that everything is controlled by gods and elves, so wizards play an important role. For example, during droughts, they sacrifice to the dragon god, and the main ritual is like this.
Because they are good at bows and crossbows, and their archery is very accurate, the wizard shoots an arrow into the dragon pool. They think this can touch the dragon god. When the signal comes, it is time for you to rain."
"It's so miserable!" Liang Ange said.
“Then, after a while, it still didn’t rain, they held a ceremony to curse the dragon:
You! You! You! You broken dragon! Why doesn’t it rain? Didn’t you receive my signal? Do you have any real ability? Can you make it rain? If you can’t make it rain, do you still deserve to be a dragon?
"
"Hahaha..." Liang Ange laughed like crazy, "It's so miserable! How can there be such a miserable dragon?"
He Huan couldn't help laughing, "For example, if someone is sick, they pray to the elves to relieve their pain. After a while..."
Everyone had started laughing, and Liang Ange was already laughing.
He Huan could still hold back, "The disease is still not good, but they scold the elves. I offer sacrifices to you, and please also beg you. How come you, the elves, don't work well?"
Liang Ange laughed and fell into Qin Kong's arms, and the people in the car also laughed crazily.
He Huante could bear it, "If it doesn't work, why do you have the nerve to call it an elf?"
Liang Ange laughed until he lost his voice.
Qin Kong looked at He Huan speechlessly. This Polong made his wife look like a stupid wife!
Chen Ying was glad that he brought a camera. Wouldn’t it be a lot less fun if he didn’t record this episode?
Those pig teammates, now that they are tourists, know how to have fun.
"Then the wizard drove the elf again and said that you were ineffective. Are you afraid of scolding you now? Please cure him quickly!"
"Elves can only cure Qin Kong's illness." Chen Ying suddenly said.
Everyone laughed again.
Liang Ange laughed so hard that he slapped Qin Kong's thigh, making everyone feel pain. Is this really a cure?
Qin Kong looked at her helplessly and tenderly, enjoying himself very much! After all, she only patted his thigh!
The people in the car looked at the elf who couldn't stop laughing, and they all started laughing too.
I found out that there is one person who can tell jokes, and there is another person who is less funny, it is really amazing!
Laughing all the way to the hot spring, the roadside was already full of cars parked, and there were shacks under the hillside. Yes, the kind of simple shacks made of striped plastic sheets.
Everyone was so excited that they picked up their swimsuits and trunks and stood up.
He Huan looked at them, "Do you know where to change clothes?"
"I don't know!" Everyone looked around, as if...
"No locker room?"
"This is a wild hot spring! They don't charge money, and they also have changing rooms!"
"Ah! What should we do?"
"Why don't you just come in your swimsuits?"
Master Li said loudly: "I just wear swimming trunks!" He stood up and took off his pants.
Everyone laughed, but He Huan couldn't help laughing: "Brother Li, those are called shorts!"
"That's not the same! No one wears swimsuits when bathing in the hot springs here. They all just take off their pants and put on their underpants before entering the water." Master Li went down first.
Everyone looked at the car, and Liang Ange said: "The women change in the car first, and then the men change together?"
"Why bother? There are so many tents down there, wouldn't you borrow one? This is a task assigned to you!"
"Wow!" Liang Ange ran down first, she was not afraid. Qin Kong also ran down.
Chen Ying looked at He Huan, she really felt like a variety show! This is the first task of this variety show!
I quickly carried my camera to take pictures of everyone borrowing tents to change clothes.
The photography guys also swarmed down to borrow a tent to change into swimming trunks.
Director Chen was so angry! Why was he the only one filming such an interesting scene? His camera crew was also filming it? It was terrible!
He turned back and glared at He Huan.
After they all got off, He Huan bent down and took off his clothes and pants, revealing the swimming trunks underneath, and Shi Shiran got out of the car.
You are still the smartest!
"Hahaha..." He Huan laughed proudly.
A group of people were doing a task for Director He, and when they turned around, they saw him getting out of the car wearing swimming trunks.
"Shameless!" everyone shouted.
Chen Ying quickly turned around with the camera on his shoulder. He was alone and in a hurry, yelling: "You guys go back and get me a camera! You don't take pictures of others, just follow Little White Dragon! Take pictures of him to death!"
Hearing that Director Chen was going to shoot him to death, He Huan ran towards the hot spring. Anyway, he had already put on his swimming trunks! Xiao Bailongtuan was dumped by him.
Qin Huai was also speechless. Children are so playful! He had no choice but to take on the role of tour guide.
