This morning we were woken up by the cattle coming out to look for food. Brother Chen, who couldn't wait to get off the car to see the cattle, pulled me and rushed outside without even putting on his shoes. "This is the cow daddy. Does he have a bad smell?" It stinks, it stinks!”
"Dad, let me help you!"
"Mom, look, this is our RV!"
We set off from Gengma at around 11 o'clock, and encountered an auto repair station on the way, where we happened to add some air to the Xiaowo tires, which cost 2 yuan.
Not long after I came out of the auto repair station, I saw a family holding a banquet on the roadside. The breeder said: "Let's go over and see if we can have a meal, haha!"
After getting closer, I found out that the owner of this small building was hosting a banquet for friends to celebrate their new housewarming. Everyone was having a simple lunch, and after the meal, they were preparing for tonight's banquet. All the people attending the banquet were Wa people.
Several elder sisters enthusiastically invited the breeders to have dinner with them. The breeder who had just been saying he wanted to have a meal was embarrassed to accept the invitation after being invited, hahaha!
Brother Chen can always find sugar wherever he goes.
There is also a car
Sitting next to the breeder was the owner of this small building. The talkative and humorous elder brother talked to us about the customs of the Wa people.
When talking about whether the Wa people have writing, the eldest brother said, "The ancestors of the Dai people all wrote the writing on bamboo, which can be passed down to this day. Our ancestors wrote the writing on rice cakes and ate them when they were so hungry. As a result, we Now there are no words anymore, they have all been eaten..."
Hahaha, eat it! This is the first time I heard that the reason why words have not been handed down is because they were eaten!
As long as someone in the village encounters a wedding or wedding, the whole village will come to help.
Women attended in costumes and sang and danced around the long table to express their best wishes to the host.
Tables and chairs are waiting for the upcoming feast and laughter...
The Wa people, like the Han people, also have an ancient crowdfunding tradition of "suili".
Here’s another video to feel their excitement.
Worried about walking at night, we had no choice but to decline the host’s invitation, return to the car to make quick pasta, and set off before taking a lunch break.
Ten minutes later, we passed the "Shifodong Neolithic Site" and the ticket price was 15 yuan. The Shifo Cave ruins are direct evidence that the ancestors of the Chinese nation created a developed prehistoric civilization in the Lancang River Basin 3,000 years ago. Although the ruins are relatively simple, the construction of houses in the caves is unique in China and rare in the world.
The management told us that the entire tour would take nearly two hours. Since we could not find a suitable parking location nearby, we had to give up.
In the afternoon, I passed a vegetable wholesale market and happened to buy a batch.
It was such picturesque blue, white and green all the way.
At seven o'clock, we arrived at the Shangyun Town Government in Lancang County and stayed in the government compound tonight! See you all tomorrow!
