Yunnan is known as the "plant kingdom", and bamboo resources are extremely rich. People use bamboo to build bamboo houses, weave bamboo hats and mats, and even use bamboo tubes to carry water, cook rice and cook vegetables, especially using bamboo as a tobacco pouch is amazing. The smoke filtered in the water of the bamboo chimney not only keeps the mellow smell of dry tobacco, but also eliminates the scorching in the smoke, moistens the throat, and has the sound of purring. It can be said that smoking with it has sound, color and taste.
The second strange egg is strung with grass.
The safety of goods in transit is always a difficult problem because of the high mountain road in Yunnan. Local people use straw to tie eggs into strings to sell, which not only solves the problem that eggs are easy to be damaged in transit, but also facilitates the fair valuation of buyers and sellers, and it is extremely convenient for children to cheat.
The third strange straw hat is used as the pot cover
There are lush vegetation all over Yunnan, so people use these raw materials to weave curtains, hats, pot covers, hemp fiber and grass piers, as well as various unique handicrafts. Foreigners who come to Yunnan for the first time often mix straw hats with pot covers with similar shapes, mistakenly thinking that Yunnan people use straw hats as pot covers. A straw hat-like pot cover woven from grass has good heat preservation and ventilation functions because it absorbs moisture and no steam and water falls, which not only adds fragrance to steamed food, but also makes the food difficult to deteriorate in hot weather, so it is very practical.
The fourth strange bean curd is sold because of its long hair
It's hot in Yunnan, so it's difficult to keep fresh food. Many people in Yunnan also like to eat stinky tofu, so they simply cover the freshly made tofu with straw for a few days until the long hair turns into stinky tofu before taking it to the street for sale. It is said that when Emperor Kangxi tasted the stinky tofu in Yunnan in the Qing Dynasty, he was very happy and named it "Qingfang stinky tofu". As a result, tofu stalls in central Yunnan, southern Yunnan and western Yunnan are spread all over urban and rural areas. Stinky tofu can also be fried, fried, steamed or pickled into fermented bean curd, which is a unique local delicacy in Yunnan.
The fifth strange green vegetable is bitter vegetable
The climate in central and southern Yunnan is warm, with abundant rainfall and evergreen seasons. The green vegetables are endless all year round, and there are many varieties. Therefore, the vegetables called green vegetables in the mainland do not have the identification characteristics, but the taste is the identification standard. Therefore, slightly bitter vegetables are called bitter vegetables.
The sixth strange rice Baba is called bait block
Yunnan is rich in rice. In order to carry dry food out, Yunnan people knead steamed rice balls into cakes, which are called "bait blocks". Can be fried, boiled, fried, fried (see Yunnan snacks).
The seventh strange broad beans are sold in piles
In the old days, Yunnan's commodity economy was backward, and there were not many market transactions. The rural markets scattered all over the province were especially popular with barter, and buyers and sellers rarely used scales. Agricultural products were sold in piles and bundles, and agricultural products such as peanuts and broad beans were no exception, and they were also sold in piles.
The eighth monster, three grasshoppers and one dish
People in Yunnan are extremely rich in food sources. People not only eat the meat of different animals and a wide variety of wild vegetables, but also eat moss, bamboo worms, bee pupae and many wild mushrooms. Crispy and delicious fried grasshoppers are common dishes to go with wine. Because Yunnan grasshoppers are big, a few can be piled into a plate, so it is said that "three grasshoppers make a plate".
The ninth strange straw rope is used as a belt
In the past, Yunnan's economy was backward and the people lived in poverty. It was a very common phenomenon that straw rope was used as a belt in rural areas. Now that the economy has developed and the people's living standards have been greatly improved, straw rope as a belt has long been a historical relic.
the tenth strange toe is exposed outside the shoes
Yunnan has continuous mountains, high mountains and dangerous roads, and the climate is warm, so it is often necessary to sweat when climbing and running. Therefore, sandals with toes exposed and sandals made of cloth were once popular shoes for Yunnan people because of their coolness and convenience.
The eleventh strange pine wool is twisted and sold
Among many trees in Yunnan, Yunnan pine is the most common, and the forest is covered with its fallen leaves. People twist these fallen leaves into loose hair, which is used to make a fire and cook rice, and also used to barbecue ducks, which has a unique flavor. Therefore, in the old urban and rural markets in Yunnan, the sight of pine wool twisted and sold can be seen everywhere, and this market scene still exists in individual county and township markets until now.
The 12th Monster is raining here and sunbathing there
In Yunnan's strange landscape, diverse and complex climate environment, "a mountain is divided into four seasons, and ten miles of different days" and "it rains heavily in front of the mountain and sunny days behind the mountain" are very common natural scenes. Especially in autumn, when it rains here and the sun shines there, it becomes a natural landscape in the mountains.
The thirteenth strange girl is called the old lady
Yunnan has many nationalities and different customs. The mainland people call their wives and sisters young aunts, and in some places in Yunnan they are called "aunts and grandmothers".
The 14th eccentric is carrying a doll to fall in love
In the past, the marriage customs in Yunnan ethnic minority areas were colorful. Except for the note marriage and stealing extramarital affairs, some ethnic groups prevailed the custom of returning to their parents' home after marriage, and then leaving their husbands' home after having a doll, so "carrying a doll to fall in love" became a common sight.
There is an extra piece behind the fifteenth strange shoe
Yunnan women are good at making shoes by embroidery. In order to put on and take off shoes conveniently, they often make a "shoehorn" behind the cloth shoes, and carefully embroider a flower on the shoehorn, which Yunnan people call "shoehorn". It is not only practical, but also decorative, making shoes more beautiful and unique.
The Sixteenth Weird Four Seasons Clothes Wear Together
In many places in Yunnan, there is no heat in summer and no cold in winter, especially in Kunming, which is known as the "Spring City", with an average annual temperature of 15℃, a monthly maximum temperature of 21℃ and a monthly minimum temperature of 1℃ respectively. No matter which season is spring, summer, autumn and winter, men, women and children can be seen everywhere wearing colorful four seasons clothes on the streets of Kunming, and the "Four Seasons Dressing Disorderly" belongs to Kunming.
The 17th strange train is not as fast as a car
Before the quasi-gauge (gauge 1.435m) train appeared in Yunnan, the meter-gauge (gauge 1m) train was opened as early as 191. However, due to the barriers of mountains, rivers, valleys and caves, the roads are rugged, and the train speed is only 2-3km/h, which can't be compared with that in the mainland. In addition, Yunnan once had a slower inch-gauge (gauge .72 meters) train, and even people couldn't run uphill. In contrast, the speed of cars in Yunnan is faster than that of trains, and there are fewer detours on car roads than on train roads, so people go out to work in a hurry, and cars have become the first choice of transportation.
The 18th Strange Train doesn't pass through China to foreign countries
It's difficult to travel along the high valley and deep road in Yunnan. Although the Wuchi Road was built in the Qin Dynasty more than 2, years ago, and the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway from Kunming to coastal defense in Vietnam was built by the French in Yunnan at the end of the Qing Dynasty, until the 195s, there was still no railway connecting Yunnan with the mainland, so in the past, Yunnan was mostly bypassed. Even General Cai E, the commander-in-chief of Yunnan, who was famous for a while, could only sneak back to Yunnan from Vietnam by train in 1915 in order to oppose the restoration of Yuan Shikai as emperor. Therefore, it is strange that the early trains did not pass through China and abroad.
