Naxi people lead horses one by one, one by one. On the ancient road, sometimes it goes uphill and sometimes it goes downhill. The road is rough, but the horses walk steadily under the command of the horse head, but I think my pony must be exhausted by my heavy weight.
Because we are both riding for the first time, we are all a little nervous. If the horseshoe slips a little, we will wonder if it will fall to the ground and bite the mud. Horses walk along ancient roads, and there is a big pond in some places. When it comes close to the pond, you will wonder if it will be thrown into the pond by the horse. . So I closed my eyes in horror from the beginning, so I didn't like riding even if I didn't have to walk at first. I envy seeing some villagers skillfully manipulate the reins and command horses to gallop smartly.
When we get used to it, we will find it less difficult to ride a horse. We should coordinate the uphill and downhill of the horse. When going downhill, people's center of gravity should be backward, but when going uphill, it will be much harder. Walking, I dare to stand up, and I dare to lead the horse with my legs, gently pull the horse with the reins and give it instructions. Cool and heroic, I feel found!
After a long walk along the ancient tea-horse road, I came to a mountain spring, where there was a large open space. The tour guide said it was a resting place for horses to replenish energy. We also get off to exercise our nervous bodies. I walked up the mountain stream, and the water was surging and crystal clear. I soon found the water source. It originated in the deep mountains, protected by the virgin forest at the end, and flowed down continuously. I went to a spring.
Take the ancient tea-horse road, and the horse will succeed!
Hope to adopt, thank you ~
2. Write a short article about Yunnan, south of the cloud.
Like a touch of hibiscus, the makeup is light and slender. Just like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, it is outlined in ink painting and beautiful. Listening to the gurgling sound of running water in the distance, mahogany carving seems to have entered a flowing family.
The ancient town is green.
Going to Lijiang again is a little different from going for the first time. The white walls and blue tiles in the ancient town have not changed, the waterwheel is still turning, the business of the small shop is still booming, and the clerk wearing strange clothes is shouting to attract business. The bar is still brightly lit all night, and the noise at night just sets off the tranquility of Lijiang ancient town. There are Lijiang's special snacks in the streets and lanes, and there are 18 eccentrics in Yunnan. Many delicious foods are dazzling. In an instant, I saw a little girl of about four or five years old, holding a handful of red roses in her hand and whispering a few words. I saw a young man buy some flowers and bring them to the woman opposite him. They looked perfect. It is unforgettable to see the little girl's sincere eyes again. On the way back to the inn, I saw people selling fruits or snacks on both sides, calling people to buy their things with warm and powerful voices. I bought two bags of hard persimmons, one of which was chewed in my mouth, which was a bit bitter.
The ancient road is narrow and the horseshoe is fast.
In Lashihai, we still chose to ride the ancient tea-horse road. Riding on horseback, we looked up at the long white clouds, with rolling mountains in front and muddy ancient tea-horse roads at our feet. The ancient tea-horse road, a thousand-year-old road, makes people feel the heaviness of life and the vicissitudes of history. A few minutes later, we rode to the wetland and rowed. There were ripples on the water surface, and a green land and a water hyacinth appeared in the middle of the lake. Looking at the green hills in front of me, I am in the depths of the sea of flowers. Suddenly it began to rain in Mao Mao, but I felt the ancient charm.
The ancient stack is long and quiet.
We live in Lijiang fairview park Inn, where the environment is quiet, the bridges are flowing, and the scenery is antique. The quaint Naxi folk houses in the sunset are more the accumulation of vicissitudes and years. As night fell, the square street was crowded and grandma Naxi danced around the bonfire. The brisk beat and beating flames explain the ease of life here. Grandma's old face is reflected in the fire, only a happy smile ... The origin of Square Street is the center of the ancient town, the product of the ancient tea-horse road culture and the portrayal of the caravan culture. It is this arduous ancient tea-horse road. The night is getting deeper and deeper, and Bar Street has become the best place to go. It is full of lights and beautiful songs. When you push a cup for a change, you forget that you are in a foreign land. I didn't know I was lost for nine days until I was drunk. Adding a little silence to the noise is a unique scene of Lijiang ancient town. Surrounded by elms and willows, the streams are gurgling, the smoke from kitchen chimneys is soaring, the chickens and dogs hear each other, the indescribable pastoral customs and endless spring scenery. The roadside is full of flowers from time to time, and passers-by are dressed in folk customs. They walked in twos and threes, or kept neck and neck, jumping without fancy clothes. They are also radiant, each with a happy face and no sad face, and their happy state is comparable to that of Taoyuan. At the beginning of the lights, tired birds return to fun, and pedestrians on Wuhuashi Road are three or five; Xu Lai breeze, willow branches swaying, into the city river, singing softly.
Ancient songs are circulated everywhere.
Lijiang's long history has inherited our connection with previous lives. In a trance, Lijiang seems to be the destination of previous lives. It receives passers-by from all directions, and as a tourist, it is willing to be the scenery you pass by; For those souls who have been wandering, it is their home. Wash away the dust on their way with the warm and clear sunshine on the plateau, and brush away their fatigue with the sacred breeze stained with the snow-capped mountains, but still lengthen the road ahead, reminding them that they can still continue on the road. But at the same time, it is also saying: the road you go out is also the road you come back. However, Lijiang is also the hometown of wandering singers. In their music, you may be able to hear the wandering footsteps, vicissitudes of life, the measurement of roads and life, and at the same time, there are also ideal forces surging like the tide. Lijiang accepted them and nurtured them, allowing them to fulfill their original musical dreams.
The ancient tea is light and clear.
Lijiang Snow Tea occupies a very important position in China Pharmacopoeia. According to Notes to Compendium of Materia Medica, "Snow tea is not a kind of tea, but a natural bud. The locals picked it and roasted it instead of tea. It is warm in the stomach and tastes bitter and fragrant. " Today, I was lucky enough to taste the Millennium from Lijiang Snow Mountain. I took a sip, which was bitter and memorable. I took another sip, light and sweet. This is the snow-capped mountain Bailu in Lijiang.
Stay alone in the study, make a cup of tea, and the tea smells fragrant. Open the paper gently and let me smell the book. She is different from the fragrance of flowers, which is refreshing. She abandoned worldly filth and left people alone. Books are just a trickle, rushing to the vast sea, brewing infinite power. I have a heart-to-heart relationship with poetry books, trying to store a wealth of knowledge.
Looking back on this trip to Lijiang, I can't say how I feel, so I have to express my infinite feelings for Lijiang.
During the summer vacation, my father and I traveled to Yunnan.
Yunnan is fun. There are many scenic spots there: Shilin, Yulong Snow Mountain, ancient town, ancient tea-horse road, primitive park and so on. Among these scenic spots, my favorite is the ancient tea-horse road, where there is a kind of horse, which is twice as small as the normal horse, but several times larger than the normal Ma Zhuang! Its name is Yunnan horse.
We ride on this road in Mazai Mountain. The mountain road is steep and slippery. As soon as the horse leaves, it is Yunnan, Yunnan. No wonder its name is Yunnan horse. It really deserves its reputation! So we are very nervous. At this time, the horse trainer began to sing this song. Slowly, we relaxed and became less nervous. We also sang songs. I whispered to Ma: "Brother Ma, can you walk faster and let me * * * *!" The horse seems to understand what I said and run faster and happier. My mood is as happy as a horse! We slowly approached the finish line and dismounted safely. I still can't bear to part with the ancient tea-horse road.
I suggest you also travel to Yunnan!
4. Riding on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road 1000 Composition of Little Chef Hippo Riding on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road in Lijiang
Today, we are going to ride horses on the ancient tea-horse road. Wow! Riding for the first time to the ancient tea-horse road. I am so excited!
The ancient tea-horse road, that is, people used to transport goods such as tea, but mainly tea. Why is it called the ancient road? Because this road is old and long.
We will take Line 2. After my mother paid the money, I got on the horse, and so did my sister Zhang Zhou.
My horse has big black eyes and black fur. His name is' Heige', which is the title of Iraqis. Sister Zhang Zhou's horse also has big eyes and brown fur. Its name is' Chili', which shows that it has a bad temper. Be careful, Sister Zhang Zhou!
Halfway through the ride, I found my horse unattended. The man who led Zhang Zhou's sister's horse said that my horse has a good character and needs no lead. Suddenly, Zhang Zhou's sister's horse stopped. I don't know why my horse stopped, and then the man's "bodyguard dog" Xiao Si Moore also stopped. Pepper is gone, so is Ahag, Ahag is gone, and so is Xiao Si. We later learned that Brother Hei, Pepper and Xiao Si are brothers, because they were all raised by that person.
We crossed a winding path and a small bridge and finally reached the first rest point. We got off the horse and took pictures together. After taking photos, we started cycling again. I ride' Chili', and Sister Zhang Zhou rides' Black Brother'. We switched.
On the way, I found that every family would have several horses. I counted them. They have 9 at most and 2 at least. Sister Zhang Zhou's horse is either on the side or on the dirt road. Fortunately, I didn't ride to' Black Brother'. On the way, my mother also asked someone to take pictures of us.
How time flies! Finally, I reluctantly left the ancient tea-horse road.
I love the ancient tea-horse road composition 700 words Seeing the horses shuttling back and forth, I doubt my eyes a little. Is it a horse or a donkey? It's very different from the horse I rode in Mongolia last time. One is tall and powerful, and the other is thin. Will we ride them to see the beauty and mystery of the ancient road in the future? I began to wonder in my heart. The local people seemed to see a trace of doubt in my eyes and explained to me: although he is not tall, it is not a problem to camel 200 Jin. When the villagers spoke, their eyes were full of pride and pride in the horses, which made me respect these "hidden" horses.
Tinker bell broke the silence of the mountain and seemed to tell it that someone was coming. At the foot of the mountain, I don't think just entering the mountain is like entering a huge maze, a huge picture scroll. Looking through the gap in the forest, the sky is as blue as it has just been washed, without a trace of white clouds. Surrounded by layers of mountains, the trees on the mountains are lush. Walking in the forest, I can hear birds and cicadas from time to time, but I can't find them. For future generations, with the freshness of leaves and the mellow fragrance of the land, I can't help but respect these "hidden" horses. The trees on the mountain are lush, and I can see horses coming and going. Because it is early in the morning, there is still a sense of shock, knowing that there are many joys and sorrows in the ancient road, and perhaps every tree has many beautiful memories. Whether it's a horse or a donkey, I have some doubts about my eyes. I breathe in humid air. For those of us who are used to the mixed air in the city, it contains the dreams and youth stories paid by our ancestors.
Tinker bell broke the peace of the mountain? I am very confused at heart. I looked back at this ancient road that was trampled out. Now, the ancient tea-horse road has lost its "tea horse", leaving only the "ancient road", just like a person wrapped in ribbons around his waist, chatting with the mountain people all the time, walking into a huge picture scroll and daydreaming, and explaining to me that although they are not tall, they will hear birds and cicadas from time to time, while I watch the scenery.
Riding horses. A tall and strong man. Will we ride them to see the beauty and mystery of the ancient road in the future? Looking through the gap in the forest, I can't find where they are, and my eyes are full of pride and pride in the horses.
The whole morning passed unconsciously. Along the way, I just walked into the mountains, as if telling about the mountains. Surrounded by layers of mountains. The waist of the distant mountain is surrounded by white clouds. Although there are people leading horses in the mountains, the land under them is very wet, and every humble pebble carries a lot of laughter and tears. But after shouting, someone is coming. On this road, a thin person, occasionally with the sound of hooves slipping, is like walking into a huge maze and a period of history. The sky is blue as if it had just been washed, giving travelers a story. It is not a problem to walk in the mountains with 200 kilograms of camels. This feeling is very pleasant. I don't think I was terrible when I was at the bottom of the mountain. Is it foggy? Unlike the horse I rode in Mongolia last time, the mountain road is very steep. When the villagers talk, they can't see a trace of white clouds. The local people seem to see a trace of doubt in my eyes.
6. There is a composition written by Zhiyun Temple in Lijiang. Composition 400 words: Beautiful Old Town of Lijiang.
(Introduction)
Fireworks in March, beautiful spring, I started an eight-day trip to the border of Yunnan.
This is a beautiful city with flowers everywhere. Here, I enjoy everything that nature has given me, whether it is dense forests or holy snow-capped mountains. Here, I enjoy the romantic feelings of great unity of all ethnic groups. I watched the images of the Dai family inspire me, drank the "three teas" of the Bai people, had a physical examination of the passionate Hani people, enjoyed the Dongba culture of the Naxi people and recalled the wedding trip of the Mosuo people.
March 30th (sunny day)
This is a picture of Lijiang, a prosperous ancient city in the East, just like the riverside scene on Qingming Festival!
She is one of the four world natural and cultural heritages in China, just like a bright pearl standing in the northwest of Yunnan, and her ancient Dongba culture is a mysterious treasure that surprises Chinese and foreign people.
Lijiang is a multi-ethnic town, mainly Naxi. Old Town of Lijiang seems to be a paradise, with paths paved with colorful flowers and stones crossing the streets. The Yuquan River at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain is divided into numerous tributaries, which cross streets and lanes and spread all over the town, forming a poetic landscape of "flowing water in front of every house and weeping willows behind every house". In the water, precious trout and koi fish swim leisurely in elegant aquatic plants, which is the freedom of fish. No one will disturb them. On both sides of the river are rows of tile houses, beautifully carved and full of national characteristics. Festive red lanterns are hung high, flowers and trees are flying all over the sky, and places of interest can be seen everywhere. It is no exaggeration for her to use the good name "plateau Gusu".
This ancient city with a history of more than 800 years is the transportation hub of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet from top to bottom, and it is the "ancient tea-horse road" from ancient times to the present. The square street in the city center is the distribution center of the ancient tea-horse road. Square streets are paved with colorful stones, and the streets are washed with clear water every day. There are also many shops with rich national traditional characteristics. A group of Naxi old people are singing and dancing together, singing ancient and touching Naxi folk songs.
Sitting in a teahouse in a street hut, enjoying flowers and tea, watching tourists weave, staring at Naxi hieroglyphics on the wall, listening to melodious music, a pleasant peace rises from the heart and makes people immersed in a state of ecstasy.
7. During the summer vacation, some students traveled to Lijiang with their parents.
Lijiang has beautiful and pure scenery, which left a good impression on me. What impressed me most was riding up the mountain on the ancient tea-horse road! As the scenic spot is on the mountain and the mountain road is very narrow, we must each ride a horse on the mountain.
Everyone got on the horse, grabbed the armrest of the saddle with both hands and put their feet into the stirrups hanging on both sides of the saddle. Everything is ready, let's go! With the sound of hooves, a large number of people are going up the mountain! The groom taught us the trick of riding a horse: "lean forward when going uphill, and it is best to stick to the horse's back;" On the contrary, the body leans back and the feet are hard. "
We all did it when going uphill and downhill. It turns out that we can keep balance. The horse trudged along the mountain road.
There are pits on the mountain road of the ancient tea-horse road, which are trampled by horseshoes all the year round. I am very disobedient when riding this horse. All the other horses followed the old horseshoe print one by one, but it didn't take the usual path and walked as if no horse had stepped on it.
Plus, it doesn't look at the road, and it often slips under its feet, which almost shocked me several times! I must be careful. At first glance, it seems that these horses are not very tall, and it is a pity to carry people along the mountain road.
In fact, don't worry, because the tour guide said that this is a pure jade dragon colt with good endurance and is suitable for mountain climbing. On the contrary, tall horses on the grassland are not suitable for narrow and steep mountain roads.
"Snoring, snoring." What's that noise? You scared me! The horse that followed me couldn't stand the compliment and snored. Must be exhausted.
Huh? Why can't the team stop? Haha, the first two horses have to pee! Not the kui is a horse urine, just scattered on the mountain road, splashing around. The Kyle I rode was so naughty! It took advantage of the moment when its owner was not looking, and leaned over to eat grass on the side of the road.
Time slipped away in the change of our mood, and in a short time, the mountain road was finished. Finally, I reluctantly got off the horse, hoping that the road would be longer.

9. South of the Cloud: Yunnan Tourism Composition [South of the Cloud: Yunnan Tourism Composition] This winter vacation, I came to Yunnan to travel, and I felt back to spring when I got off the plane from Kunming.
The sky here is clearer than other places, the air is so fresh, and the mountains are so magnificent, both amazing and intimate. We set out from Kunming to visit Lijiang.
The tour guide told us that it's only over 500 kilometers from Kunming to Lijiang, but it takes nine hours by car and the whole journey takes the expressway. The tourists are puzzled.
When driving on the expressway, I found that their expressway is different from that in Liaoning. The road is very narrow, like a belt winding between mountains, with cliffs on both sides. It seems that you will fall down if you are not careful, which makes people feel chilly, but it is a bit more * * *. We also admire the driver's superb driving level a little more.
The tour guide said that the ancient tea-horse road was under our feet. In the past, when the traffic was inconvenient, mules and horses were used to deliver goods to the mountain people, transport the necessities of life, and transport the tea in the mountains to all directions of the motherland.
At this time, a long bell rang in my ear, and there seemed to be a steady stream of prosperity on the ancient tea-horse road. When we arrived in Lijiang, it was already evening. When the sun slowly set in the west, it sprinkled its sunset red on every corner.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Old Town of Lijiang is more like a fairyland against her background. The next day, we came to Yulong Snow Mountain.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with thirteen peaks in the whole mountain, is covered with snow all year round, like a jade dragon lying on the top of the mountain, and has the potential to leap into the Jinsha River, hence the name, which is the embodiment of the Naxi protector. I have seen the Huangshan Mountain, the majestic Taishan Mountain and the flaming Xiangshan Mountain, but they are not as good as the Yulong Snow Mountain.
As Jing Li, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "The snow-capped mountains in the Lijiang River are absolutely unique in the world, and there are thousands of jade piles." She is not only beautiful, but also interesting.
It is summer at the foot of the mountain, spring and autumn at the mountainside, and winter at the top of the mountain. When we took the cable car halfway up the mountain, the weather was really as cool as autumn.
At this moment, I look at the snow-capped mountains. She is closer to us, and her lines are more gorgeous. At the foot of the mountain, the Blue Moon Valley shocked me again. Clear water, blue sky and beautiful snow-capped mountains blend together, and Yaochi is embedded in the valley like a crystal clear sapphire. Lijiang has not only beautiful snow-capped mountains, but also antique ancient cities, small bridges and flowing water, and houses. The beautiful scenery that can only be seen in Jiangnan can also be seen here.
People wash clothes and chat at home, and rest at sunrise and sunset. What a leisurely picture. There are many beautiful scenery like this. I hope you can also visit Yunnan and appreciate its beauty.
Beautiful Yunnan, you make me want to stay, lovely Yunnan, you make me remember, you don't let me want to stay? .
10. Yunnan folk houses constitute Tengchong folk houses in Yunnan: Tengchong ancient city is located in the southwest of Yunnan, adjacent to Myanmar, and is known as the first city in China.
The road to Tengchong is blocked by Gaoligong Mountain, and the Nujiang River and Lancang River cross, so the traffic is inconvenient, but it is not unattended. In recent years, self-help tourism has become fashionable, and the volcanic geothermal hot springs here have attracted many tourists.
Away from the hustle and bustle of industrialization, the air is fresh, with blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and the environment of small white villages scattered in golden rice fields in autumn, which has a peaceful atmosphere without competition. Huizhou folk houses are characterized by white walls and white tiles, while Yunnan folk houses are also white walls and gray tiles, but many colorful paintings have been added to the details, reflecting local and national characteristics.
Similarly, not far from the suburb of Tengchong, an ancient town of Heshun, which is surrounded by mountains and waters and has a small area, has won multiple reputations, such as "facing the first town in South Asia; A leisure resort surrounded by volcanoes; China culture, South Asian culture and western culture; The hometown of jade brought by caravan; The largest hometown of overseas Chinese on the Southwest Silk Road; The ancient town scenic spot where 6000 residents live in harmony has become a charming town in China. Since ancient times, because it is located in the main road from the Central Plains to South Asia, although it is far away from Qian Shan, it cannot stop people's desire to open up frontiers and promote exchanges.
Featured products were exported overseas through the ancient tea-horse road, which strengthened the economic and cultural ties with Myanmar and India, and also cultivated many business gangs in Heshun. The winding Zouma Jiaolou in the ancient town conforms to the stone road of the caravan and is full of human feelings.
The nearby volcanoes are dotted around, which enhances the momentum of the natural environment, but you have to climb a hot air balloon to overlook it from the air. People in Heshun Ancient Town have lived a life of merchants, overseas Chinese, peasants and Confucianism for generations, and played multiple roles according to their needs in the traditional society where the social division of labor is not obvious.
Ai Siqi, a modern celebrity, was born in the ancient town, which is related to the style of writing here, and a village library in the town is the condensation of history and culture. Heshun Library was founded in the Republic of China. At that time, a group of progressive young people set up the Xian Tong Society (Xian Tong Reform) here to study and spread revolutionary ideas together.
Intellectuals realized the importance of mobilizing the masses, so they built a library here so that villagers could also be influenced by culture. This seemingly insignificant practice reflects the active interaction between intellectuals and ordinary people at that time, which is conducive to laying the mass foundation of the revolution, not to mention in such a remote mountainous area.
As a rural library, its scale is naturally limited, but as a cultural symbol, it has certain symbolic significance. In 2006, Heshun Library was included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
Walking through the small bridge under the shadow of banana leaves and entering Heshun ancient town, the first thing you see is Heshun Library located on the hillside. Step by step.
The gate is a traditional wooden gatehouse in China, and the plaque reads "Heshun Library" and "The Source of Culture". The second courtyard is a brick three-bay archway with a combination of Chinese and western styles, which reads "Tianjin of culture".
The terrain here is getting higher and higher, and you can see the natural and humanistic customs of the ancient town as soon as you look back. The entrance is the main building of the library-a small building with modern national style.
Mainly made of wood, the environment is simple and elegant, and the hanging red lanterns add a festive atmosphere. The attached buildings in the form of hexagonal pavilions on both sides have sufficient light and can receive light sources from multiple angles.
The use of three-dimensional windows also increases the lighting area, absorbs the characteristics of western architecture and meets the reading needs of libraries. Entering the library, the area is not large, with many newspapers, magazines and books on display, and several desks, which are still used by villagers for leisure reading.
Especially the old people in the village, come here to study and enjoy the fun of knowledge. The indoor display and structure still retain the characteristics of the Republic of China, and the ancient pendulum clock records the passage of time.
It's really an inch of time and an inch of gold. The last building in Tibet was expanded in the 1930s. It is said that many rare books of ancient books have been collected and used as storage places in libraries.
This two-story building has western characteristics. The book "Ancient Pavilion and Jinwen" seems to echo the Jinwen Pavilion of "Four Ku Quanshu" collected in the summer resort and the Jinwen Pavilion in the main building of the old Beijing Library. The capital is owned by the royal family, and there are also small villages.
The beautiful Heshun ancient town is also enduring because of the continuation of the context. Bai nationality is a nation that loves art, which can be fully reflected in their residential buildings.
Xizhou, Dali, located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and on the shore of Erhai Lake, is the essence of Bai folk houses. According to historical records, it was once the capital of Yimou Xun, the king of Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty.
In that era of ancient cultural prosperity, Bai craftsmen absorbed rich architectural art of the Central Plains, exerted their creative talents, and gradually formed their own national architectural style. Residential buildings in Xizhou are independent and closed houses, a bit like quadrangles in Beijing.
A dignified residential courtyard is mainly composed of courtyard wall, gate, zhaobi, main room and left and right wing rooms. Due to the different living conditions of people in the past, the architectural styles and forms of houses are also different.
The general architectural form is: "two rooms and one ear"; "Three rooms and one wall", a few rich people live in "four entrances and five patios", that is, four high-rise buildings, four wing rooms, one big well at a time and four small patios at a time. In addition, there is the "Liuhe Tongchun" connected by the two houses; The upstairs and downstairs are connected by corridors, and so on. It's really varied, like a maze.
However, this ancient and expensive gorgeous house has not been adopted by the local Bai people. Now it is mostly a two-story building with a courtyard.
But sculpture and painting are still the same, and both have developed. Bai folk houses often pay attention to the gatehouse, zhaobi building, door and window carving and painted decoration of the main wall.
The gatehouse is the essence of the whole building. The artistic level of the gatehouse building can confirm the economic status of its owner, and it is also a symbol of the glory of ancestors.
It usually adopts clay sculpture, wood carving, marble screen, stone carving, painting, relief brick and blue brick to form a series of comprehensive artistic buildings with cornices, light flowers, overlapping arches, exquisite carving, firmness and stability. The Bai people's gatehouse building is not only rich in national characteristics, but also unique in architectural structure and skills.
In some places, the whole gatehouse does not need a nail or other iron parts, but the connection is very firm. After decades of wind and rain, it is very important to install two heavy iron-black wooden doors. The woodcarving of doors and windows of Bai residents shines with the superb skills of Jianchuan carpenters everywhere.
