ZonghengHua Media International launched the "Huaxia Style" platform to integrate Chinese and foreign countries and showcase Chinese urban culture.
Mangy mountains, gushing rivers, Brown people have lived here for generations.
Tracing back to their origins, the Browns are a descendant of the Pu people, the indigenous people of southern China.
The Pu people, that is, the ethnic groups that flourished in the land of Baipu from ancient times to the Qin and Han dynasties,
That is, the area from present-day Yunnan and Guizhou, Sichuan to the west of the Jianghan River Basin.
In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties of ancient China, civilization was concentrated in the Yellow River Valley,
In the mountains, the ancestors of the Brown people have begun to develop their own culture.
The Brown people have a variety of self-designations, and the Brown people living in Xishuangbanna call themselves "Brown" or "Barang",
Lincang City and Baoshan City called themselves "Wu", Simao called themselves "Native", lancang County Wendong Township called themselves "Weng Gong" and so on.
In terms of faith, in addition to believing in Theravada Buddhism, the Brown people also retain the traditional beliefs of many primitive religions.
Their music is also colorful and melodious, and folk songs are indispensable spiritual food in the daily life of the Brown people.
Millennia of tea farmers
The Browns have only more than 100,000 people in China, belonging to a relatively small ethnic minority.
But their reputation is very loud - Chinese love tea, and the Browns have discovered tea.
Their ancestors, the Gupu people, were the first people in the world to discover and use wild tea leaves.
It is also the world's earliest ethnic minority in Yunnan to domesticate, cultivate and grow tea, and is known as "ancient tea farmers".
For thousands of years, the Brown people have maintained the traditional custom of growing tea and drinking tea.
Every time they migrate to a place, they usually plant tea trees there.
Large leaf tea
The Brown people are good at growing tea and making tea, and they also like to drink tea.
After the girls pick the spring tea, they make loose tea, also known as "big leaf tea".
They can also make a kind of "bamboo tube tea" with their own ethnic characteristics.
It is to first cut the thick bamboo into a bamboo tube, fry the newly picked tea leaves, and put them into the bamboo tube while it is hot.
Seal it with reed leaves, tie it tightly with rattan, and bake it by the fire, remove its moisture,
When the skin of the bamboo knot is burned, a bamboo tube tea is made, which will not change its taste after storing for several years.
The tea leaves are made of sour tea according to the sauerkraut method, and chewed in the mouth and swallowed, which can help digestion.
Ethnic costumes
The Browns, who live in the mountains and forests, dress themselves in their own unique way,
Focusing on highlighting personality, due to the preference for black, their clothing colors are often dominated by black and cyan.
Men wear collarless shorts and wide black trousers with black cloth covering their heads.
Women's dresses are similar to those of the Dai people, wearing tight short clothes, buns on the top of the head, wrapping their heads with turbans, and preferring to wear large earrings, silver bracelets and other decorations.
Dietary specialties
The diet of the Brown people is unique and is an important part of the material culture of the Brown people.
It is also a staple food of rice, supplemented by corn, wheat, soybeans, peas and other miscellaneous grains.
The diet is spicy and sour, and he is fond of tobacco and alcohol.
Women have the habit of chewing betel nuts and make it beautiful that their teeth are dyed black.
I like to use a gong pot or clay pot to simmer rice into rice.
Especially good at cooking bamboo tube rice, when cooking, choose a piece of fresh bamboo, fill the rice and the right amount of water, cook it with fire, cut open the bamboo tube and use it as a bowl.
The rice is dipped in bamboo, and the aroma of Hsinchu and charcoal roasting is delicious.
Meat is most commonly found in cattle, sheep, pigs, and chicken, and is also commonly used to prey on game and insects.
The cooking techniques of dishes are mostly boiled and cold mixed.
