It’s time to get to know Yibin again

The reputation of Yibin Noodles may be louder than "the first city along the Yangtze River". Many people come here to taste the snacks and the famous wine "Wuliangye", but ignore the charm of the river city where you can see the turbid and clear Minjiang River and the Jinsha River converging into the Yangtze River in the morning, and the neon lights on both sides of the river at night. There are also some historical sites to visit in the city, but more people choose to visit the relatively remote Yibin Bamboo Sea, Xingwen Stone Sea and Bo People's Hanging Coffins.

We arrived in Yibin in October and found a local who was born and raised in Yibin and has been engaged in the cultural tourism industry for many years. He told us about the customs and customs of his hometown, Xingwen, Yibin, including the current situation of the entire Yibin traditional scenic spot, and also recommended some very special After listening to the unpopular, niche, but interesting scenic spots and spots, you will feel: it’s time to get to know Yibin again.

· You Ruoruo, Fan Miaozi, Hejia Guayanzi

Who are the Bo people? More than 3,000 years ago, this ancient nation settled in Yibin City in southern Sichuan and Zhaotong City in northeastern Yunnan. When King Wu of Zhou conquered Zhou, they participated in the war with the Southwest Eight Barbarian Allied Forces. They made great military exploits and established the Bohou Kingdom around Yibin. Although historical records of subsequent development are unclear, it is known that its territory expanded to three major areas centered on Gongxian County in Sichuan, Hengjiang in Yunnan, and Nanpanjiang in Guizhou. However, in less than 200 years from Hongwu to Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the Bo people were brutally killed 11 times, causing the "Bo people" to disappear from the history books.

The prosperity of the Bo people has passed away, but the proverb "You Luoluo, Fan Miaozi, Hejia Guayanzi" is still circulated among the people in Luobiao. It describes that the Yi people often have the surname You, and the Miao people have the surname Fan. If the surname is He, they are descendants of the Bo people. In Shuanglongying Township, Qiubei County, Yunnan, there is also a group of people who claim to be descendants of the Bo people who crossed the river from "outside the river" and fled to Qiubei during the war. In addition to daily customs, the most important evidence they presented is that every household here has a hanging "ancestral coffin" placed in a mountain cave.

If you are interested in the Bo people, Bowang Mountain is located 20 kilometers west of Xingwen. From the top of Black Hat Peak, you can see the ruins of the large and small village gates built by the Bo people. There are also Bo roads running through the forest in Feiwu Valley on the mountainside. In addition, the dense bamboo forest here and the scenery of the cave looking up to the waterfall under one meter of sunshine are also quite unique.

· Bo people’s hanging coffin

The ancient cliff burial tombs before the Ming Dynasty were mainly concentrated in Matangba and Sumawan. It is characterized by placing the coffin of the deceased on the cliff. A total of 265 hanging coffins are preserved, which is the largest and most concentrated place in China. The height of the coffin is generally 10 to 50 meters from the ground, with the highest being up to 100 meters. The first way to place the coffin is the wooden pile type, which means drilling 2 to 3 holes in the cliff, and inserting wooden piles to support the coffin; the second is the hole-cutting type, which means digging horizontal holes or vertical holes in the rock wall to hold the coffin. coffins; the third is to use natural caves and cracks between rock walls to hold coffins. The coffins are mostly made of whole wood and are fixed with snap-on buckles and tenons. The body was buried with the body lying on its back, wrapped in linen, and the burial objects were placed on both sides of the feet. The quantity was variable, including ceramics, wooden and bamboo wares, iron wares and linen items, among which linen items were the most numerous, with a small amount of silk items. The clan members buried in hanging coffins are highly controversial in academic circles. The upper limit of its era is unknown, and the lower limit is the Ming Dynasty. Readers who are interested in hanging coffins can take a train from Yibin to Gongxian County, then transfer to a bus to visit places such as Matangba and Sumawan, where hanging coffins are most concentrated. Ticket price: 20 yuan for the scenic spot and 15 yuan for the website. Yuan.

Shunan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area was once a tourist card of Yibin. In the past two years, I realized that the scenic spot is mainly for viewing nature, and there are relatively few interactive experiences. Therefore, the scenic spot added the experience of Wia to let everyone feel the magic of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Shooting atmosphere. Parent-child interaction has been added. There is a panda and its friends restaurant, surrounded by giraffes and elephants. Adults can take their children there, and everyone has their own experiences. There are also the creation of some Internet celebrity attractions, such as the Cloud Observation Platform, which used to be a small platform. After the transformation, the visual experience is completely different. "Let tourists sink in, stay, and have an immersive experience in the scenic spot.
