These over-hot tourist destinations always
let the senior travelers frown. The flourishing business and the waves of
tourists let people produce the distance. Lijiang Ancient Town is a typical
example, more people cherish the memory of its original features in 10 years
ago compared with its reputation.
In the various discussions of people, it is
easy to find two Lijiang City, the one is old and the other is new, and the old
one belongs to locals and the new one belongs to tourists. In fact, the Naxi
people who had lived in old city but moved to the new city still keep the
inherent life idea and rhythm, and the Black Dragon Pond, Elephant Hill and
Zhongyi Market are the places they most often to go, and the Sanyan Spring with
long history of hundred years is still used, and the young people as their
elders like art, flowers, parties, etc.
Everything likes the clean water flowing in
everywhere of the city, moving all the time, like one day in several years. At
same time, the leisurely and casual life styles of Naxi People never disappear
in the old city. No matter the tourists occupying the old city or the strangers
living in here all keep the entertainment-life-style, they use most time to
enjoy tea, talking, sunshine and music even be in a daze, inherit and continue
some kind of living tradition unconsciously.
Lijiang Ancient Town, nowadays, the
different to the old one is in nature. Something still in there, like the
bottom piece of paint in the old city, never changed.
A Naxi man we encountered in Lijiang likes
to art, play music, singing, write poems and plant flowers and plants, calligraphy
and painting. After dinner, he kills the night time with his friends, someone
plays music, someone write and someone play cheese. Consciously, it is the
second half of the night.
The love to art of Lijiang people has no
relate to the development of tourism. Art likes one of the must-element of
their lives as well as the daily necessities. Arrival in Beijing, I quickly
find I am packaged in this artistic atmosphere. Such as the music, I have no
chance to miss it, when eating, shopping, walking, etc, even sleeping. The wall
painting, grave, calligraphy and pot culture can be seen everywhere. Night
falls, people dance in the square around the bonfire, hand in hand, it is
quickly cannot distinguish the tourists and locals. Art here instincts the bounds
of elegance and vulgarity, more reveal the attitude to life, no more than that.
During the staying time in Lijiang Town, I
am enjoyable about the omnipresent artistic atmosphere, no matter the popular
African Drum or the tradition music, do not to bother about their origins,
culture and national boundaries, and learn to regard it as the part of daily
life as the locals of Lijiang Town.
