human geography

character

Wa Ren Bo and his Lisu syllables and characters -- it is an important content to visit Ye Zhi's former residence and understand his Lisu syllables and characters. In xinluomierba village, 8 kilometers north of Yezhi town government, WA Renbo was born in 1900 into a peasant family in this Lisu mountain village. Since he was a child, he had a poor family and often worked with his mother or went out to live in famine. When he was 10 to 12 years old, he studied Dongba and Niba with witches, and mastered some knowledge of chanting sutras and praying, divination and sacrifice to ghosts and gods. When his father died at the age of 13, the family had to pawn a piece of dry land to manage the funeral. As a pawn contract, it was a wooden board with three turns and three marks, meaning to redeem it with three silver dollars in the future. Later, when the Wa family went to redeem the land, the other side tried to explain the woodcut symbols according to their own intention. As a result, the Wa family lost a sum of money in vain, which greatly touched wa Ninbo. Later, with the increase of age and experience, he came up with the idea of creating a set of national characters by himself.

Wang's Chieftain

——Yezhi is located in the core hinterland of "Three Parallel Rivers". Since ancient times, it has been the main distribution center of commodities on the "tea horse ancient road" in Yunnan and Tibet. It is an important part of national scenic spots. It not only has profound historical and cultural accumulation, but also contains legendary "Wang chieftain". in the long history of Yezhi Town, there were some prominent feudal lords' families such as Wang, Li, Qi and he, and many ancient dwellings are still left. Among them, the Wang family is the most famous. Wang belongs to the Naxi nationality, whose ancestor is "papaya" appointed by Mutu Prefecture in Lijiang, which is the military leader of Naxi. In 1938, Wang Jialu, the ninth generation successor of Wang's Chieftain, formally inherited his position. He was successively appointed by the national government as "Jiangfang brigade", "deputy commander of border defense", "commander of Sanjiang", and so on. Because of his outstanding achievements, Long Yun, governor of Yunnan Province, once presented a plaque of "guarantee high achievement". Wang's chieftain is the most powerful chieftain in Northwest Yunnan Province. Among its people are Naxi, Lisu, Tibet, anger, and Dulong and many other ethnic groups, including the Lancang River, Nu River and Longjiang basin, which are now under the jurisdiction of Diqing Prefecture and Nu River state, far from Tibet, Gao Li Gong Shan, India and Burma Myitkyina area. Wang's chieftain is the main organizer and protective force of the trade of "ancient tea horse road" since Ming and Qing Dynasties, and is the main transnational chieftain in the junction of Tibetan and Han. It is worth mentioning that Wang's chieftain was able to set up an anti Japanese team to defend the Sino Burmese border when the country was in danger and the people were in trouble. In the 27th year of the Republic of China, a batch of iron boundary tablets were specially cast with the words "North Road chieftain boundary" on them. They were secretly sent to Wang's jurisdiction border along the Dulong River for burial, which became the only basis for the Sino Indian War and the Sino Burmese border survey in 1960 He made a great contribution.

The roof is covered with wooden boards, and every courtyard is covered with wooden bars Around, houses generally open on the side, and goat heads are hung on the door. We can see the close relationship between Lisu People and goats. The whole village is distributed in a ladder like manner, one layer at a time, with complete forms and distinct colors. Standing across from Tongle village, it looks like a perfect picture, showing the rough, solid and natural beauty of the nation .

Clothes & Accessories

——The clothing of Lisu People in Tongle primitive ecological cultural village is handmade of cotton or hemp. Men wear "shell palahu" (felt hat), the brim of which is surrounded by red silk thread. The left earrings of married people are large silver or lead earrings. They wear a big white linen or cotton sweater with black shoulder, a woolen belt around the waist, a long knife on the left hip, a crossbow, arrow bag and trousers on the right back The trousers are big crotch and wide mouth trousers with knee length, and are made of wool or linen leggings.

Speaking of these costumes, they were all made by the industrious and intelligent Lisu women, who began to learn the skills of weaving linen and wool when they were 11 or 12 years old. The tool for weaving hemp is very simple. The frame is made of four wooden sticks with two horizontal and two straight sides to make a "textile machine". This simple tool has been used since ancient times. After the hemp thread is spun, one end is tied to a wooden frame, and the other end is tied to the waist to form a warp. Some use their hands to transport weft back and forth, while others use a wooden shuttle to shuttle back and forth. A skillful woman can weave five inches of linen six feet a day. Generally speaking, every family only makes enough linen for their own use every year, and few sell it.
