Story Introduction
Ancient Road Caravan
Ancient Tea Horse Road gives people a feeling of walking in the sky...
the Old Town of Lijiang has become an important town on the ancient tea horse road in western Yunnan because of the caravan. The caravan influences the lives of the Naxi people, and they take pride in being able to join the caravan and become the head of the horse pot. The saddle dance showcases the heroic colors of the men of the Big Horse Gang@According to the customs of the Naxi ethnic group, the eldest husband should not be burdened by household chores, and women should take care of household chores, work in the fields, have children, and take pride in being able to endure hardship. They are even ashamed to let men interfere in household chores. In the eyes of Naxi women, having knowledge, social skills, and achievements in a man is the glory of their wife and children. The basket dance showcases the great maternal spirit of Naxi women who work tirelessly and tirelessly
Horses in Yunnan are all short footed horses, which may not run very fast, but they are very good at walking on mountain roads. Only this kind of horse with good foot strength can carry heavy goods, walk through the long and arduous Tea Horse Ancient Road, and climb up the 12 layer, just over one foot wide caravan road. Therefore, the Naxi people highly admire horses, which are one of their objects of worship. The caravan ran on the red roof, as if it were a shocking reenactment of the "mountain bell ringing and the caravan coming" on the Tea Horse Ancient Road six hundred years ago
Drinking Snow Mountain
Friends are here, drink! My friend has left, drink
Ethnic minorities are born to drink, just as they are born to sing and dance. So their drinking habits are also singing and dancing, rich and colorful. Drinking when happy, drinking when unhappy@The group of passionate men at the foot of the snow capped mountains have wild passion and childlike happiness. The drinking customs and Naxi fast boards of various ethnic groups showcase the enthusiasm and optimism of ethnic minorities towards friends and life under the snow capped mountains
Heaven and Earth
This is a paradise for couples, and this is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain@Lijiang is known as the capital of martyrdom. The Dongba Sutra once recorded the touching legend of the third country of Jade Dragon. Legend has it that "Jiu Ming" was the first person to die for love. She was deeply in love with "Yu Pai", but was obstructed by her parents. Despite her efforts, "Jiu Ming" was in vain. In despair, she died in anger and was accepted by the love god "You Zhu" who lived in the "Jade Dragon Third Country", where she lived a happy and free life. Later on, "Yu Pai" also died for love, and they lived in a love kingdom full of flowers from then on
The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in front of you is the Twelve Joyful Mountains that Naxi people admire infinitely. It is the mountain where many devoted men and women choose to sacrifice themselves. Here, flowers bloom everywhere, without pain or sorrow. Here, "white deer as mounts, red tigers as plowing oxen, wild chickens as morning news, foxes as hunting dogs", lovers can freely combine, and the life of youth will never disappear. Couples will never have the sadness of the world
Dance group song
This is a nation that lives happily forever
Dancing is a popular entertainment activity among ethnic minorities in Lijiang, where people gather in circles and dance hand in hand with joy. Naxi people like to dance "Ali Li" and "Da Lao Li"; Pumi people love to dance "Hanbiao Dance", while Tibetans love to dance "Guozhuang"... They use dance and singing to bring joy to their body and mind, and also enable free communication between men and women through dance@Speaking is singing, walking is dancing for ethnic minorities. This authentic singing and dancing is a welcome to guests from afar, showcasing their unique passion and exuberance
Encouragement and Sacrifice to Heaven
Naxi people are the sons of heaven, and Naxi people are the brothers of nature@The worship of heaven and the affinity for nature have always been revered by the Naxi people from ancient times to the present day. This ethnic group with a population of less than 300000 was once recorded in the Dongba scriptures as follows: "I am the descendant of the Nine Heavenly Ancestors, the descendant of the Seven Earthly Ancestors, the descendant of those who cross ninety-nine mountains without exhaustion, the descendant of the mighty elephant, the descendant of the giant with infinite strength, the descendant of those who hold bamboo in their mouths without considering the weight of the chaotic egg mountain, the descendant of those who do not drink after the great river dries up, the descendant of those who swallow three bags of fried noodles without choking, the descendant of those who bite off their teeth with three leg bones without breaking, the descendant of those who have experienced hundreds of battles without dying..."
In the heart wrenching sound of drums, the old Dongba sings the scriptures with eloquence. In the sound, we seem to have already felt a thriving Naxi ethnic group
Prayer Ceremony
This is a magical place. Call Tian Tian to agree, call Di Di to agree...
Please cross your hands and place them on your forehead, let your gaze be far away. Towards the direction of the sky, fold your hands together, spread out your arms, raise your head high, and make the wish in your heart@Standing in front of this magical Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, we devoutly pray for you who come from all directions, praying that heaven will fulfill your wishes and bring you good fortune@We sincerely pray for you here, waiting for you to come again
Performance Characteristics
Daytime Performance
Under the night lights, some things can be concealed, hidden, and highlighted, while daytime performances cannot use these artistic means at all.
