"Let me be king, it is better to be a bell-striking monk"
When visiting the ancient city in Dali, I met an old stall owner who sold records, and at this time, the father of reggae, Xie Tian, laughed and said, "The ebb and flow of the tide is nothing."
He said that he had been in Dali for eleven years, set up stalls, sold music, written poetry, lived a life, and was naturally natural. He drank a beer in the sun. It seems that I don't want anything, but it seems that I have the whole world. He dared to say to the female tourist: "Don't fall in love with me, I am afraid of hurting you." "Just win.
In dali this place, quietly admiring, I smell the air is full of "inaction".
This reminds me of the male protagonist Duan Yu written by Mr. Jin Yong "a swing in the heart", it is not important for people to fight monsters and upgrade, and it is a serious thing to watch lively friends and chase fairy sisters. The real Duan Yu was actually the king of Dali, whose real name was Duan Zhengyan (Duan Heyu), who reigned the longest, and finally chose to say goodbye to the monk and the sound dog and horse.
The ordination of the emperor of the Dali kingdom has become a royal ceremony, which is generally inseparable from the social ideology of dali women who "build a country with Buddha" by virtue of fatness. In their bones, they are indifferent, and "22 emperors, 10 monks" are self-evident.
I think that if there really is a warrior in this world who holds a sword, then the first thing he will do when he comes to Dali must be to put down his sword.
He would find a courtyard full of flowers at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, guard the sunrise and moonset of the Erhai Sea, marry a gentle and virtuous Bai girl, and live a farmer's life full of fireworks and fire from then on. And this farmer who forgot about the jianghu and the lake must be happy, because he no longer has a reason to draw his sword against each other, because Dali has softened all his uneasiness.
Coming here is a kind of birth. A lot of interesting people, they all willingly stayed.
Folk singer - Zhou Yunpeng
Zhou Yunpeng, the most humanistic representative of Chinese folk music. He went blind at the age of 9, played guitar at the age of 15, went to college at the age of 19, wrote poetry at the age of 21, and began to drift around at the age of 24. Zhou Yunpeng's poem "Love That Can't Speak" won the Poetry Award of the 2011 People's Literature Award.
Zhou Yunpeng recorded his "Old State in April" in Dali, which has a completely different temperament from "Chinese Children" recorded in Beijing.
Zhou Yunpeng loves to travel, in the 90s often took a green-skinned train around, in the process of seeing a doctor as a child, he clearly realized that the world is far bigger than he thought, and later walked on foot on the Yunnan Tibet Road, and then stayed in Dali.
People are always curious about how Zhou Yunpeng travels, and the treatment he goes to should be the same darkness, but he is still wandering around stubbornly, how does he perceive the world?
Zhou Yunpeng was asked this question countless times, and he replied: "I just have bad eyes, but others are alive." ”
Today, Zhou Yunpeng has also brought his mother from his hometown to Yunnan, plus his guide dog Xiong Xiong, such a family, living quietly in Dali.
He also rarely goes out to meet people, even though many musicians are in Dali now. He would sometimes go to Guo Long's house in the Wild Children's Band, and when he went to Guo Long's house, he would often meet a bunch of people in the Wild Children's Band.
Once everyone was a musician in the North Drift, now they all settle in Dali and buy their own houses.
Writer - Noo
Yefu, a famous writer, is currently resident in Dali. Representative works include "Love in the 1980s", "Where is the Township Pass", "The Rivers and Lakes Around", etc.
In 2006, Yefu bid farewell to the worldly bustle of Beijing, divorced, and the company sent someone. Having made up his mind to leave the world and live in seclusion, the first stop was Dali. At first, he lived in the courtyard by Cangshan Mountain, with a monthly rent of five hundred yuan, full of bougainvillea, and from time to time gathered in Dali literary and artistic youth or middle-aged people. When you're short of money, write scripts for a living. Calmly, he began to write about his experience in the first half of his life.
Yefu said in an interview: Once in the past year, with Zhao Ye, Li Yawei, and Several Poets of Silence, Dali was very quiet at that time, and the landscape was good, from the perspective of superstition, the mountains and the sea, the aura was like a taiji, how long the Cangshan Mountains were, how long the Erhai Sea was, the benevolent Leshan, the wise leshui, here are all, enjoy the scenery between the mountains and the waters.
Second, the price here is also cheap, at that time there was no money on the body, tired of the city, and wanted to find a city that could afford to consume, Dali was much cheaper than Lijiang at that time. The third is that the overall feeling is that the Bai people are a very good people to deal with, and they are very advocating culture, and this nation is very literary and artistic.
Bai houses
"Every household here likes to write poetry, the countryside is like this, every household raises flowers and grass, clean, this is a civilization, the ancients said that the formation of education, this is the formation of thousands of years of indoctrination." Dali really has another feature, many people do not notice, it is almost the only living museum in China, which is the name and positioning I gave it, and I have always encouraged the use of this as his true uniqueness. ”
All the great religions of the world, Dali, and even a small ancient city are included. If you look at Buddhism, there are Mahayana and Hinayana and sutra tantra; the Famous Taoist Mountain Wei Baoshan; Islam, there are mosques in the village, there are more than one in the ancient city; Catholicism, there are also in the ancient city, which was built more than 80 years ago; Christ Church... And most importantly, the believers here have been adhering to religious activities, multiplying, and the incense is very strong. In addition to these, the primitive religion of nature worship is also thriving, and every village has its own worship...
From the bloody family history of the land reform, to the "mother on the river", to the jianghu people in prison, the hardships and hardships, free debauchery, the language is restored to the mother tongue. It is hard to imagine that these words were written in such a gentle and bright environment as Dali.
Living in Dali, Yefu carefully and meticulously wrote about the intercourse of the first half of his life and the story of the ancestors of Exi. Choosing to move, naturally there is no lack of difficulties because of the plight of the hometown in Lichuan, Hubei Province, and the disappointment after the struggle in Beijing. Chai Jing describes this kind of life as, "Lose courtesy, ask for the wilderness."
Director - Zhang Yang
In 1998, director Zhang Yang came to Dali from Beijing, first living there, and then staying for a long time. In the years that followed, he wrote scripts for several films here, including "Bathing", "Flying Over the Old People's Home", "Falling Leaves To the Roots", and "Sunflowers", as well as "Kailash" and "Soul on the Leather Rope", which were very well received. Dali became an important place of his creation.
When Zhang Yang first came to Dali, he was active in the ancient city area, and there were many interesting people gathered in the ancient city at that time. Ten years later, he moved to Shuanglang, where he discovered the relationship between the Erhai Sea and the sunset, and also discovered a complete Bai world. Now he returns to the ancient city, but when the ancient city is completely filled with tourists, his main scope of activity has been changed to the mountain, which is also the main scope of activity of the new immigrants in Dali.
In 2012, Zhang Yang was officially inaugurated in the "Guishu" of the Double Corridor in Dali, Yunnan Province, after four years. "Guishu" means "back to Yunnan" and was designed by a local architect in Dali, Octogenarian. Based on Bai materials, local stonemasons were hired to carry the stone up the mountain or take the waterway, and it was all hand-polished. There are both bai people's green brick and stone carvings, as well as modern steel structures and glass, Zhang Yang wants to make this house a building that can be used for a hundred years.
In 2012, Zhang Yang also made a documentary called "Living Elsewhere", which focused on Dali's natural scenery and cultural life, combined with local unique life elements for fusion creation, and told the life of 19 people who lived freely in the Cangshan Erhai Sea in a self-narrated way.
These include the famous contemporary artist Ye Yongqing, the dance artist Yang Liping, the famous Taiwanese painter Han Xiangning, etc., as well as rock climbing enthusiasts from the United States who have settled here because they discovered the unique charm of Dali rock climbing, football coaches from France who have become teachers in kindergartens; bar owners, vibrant Young People of Hong Kong, Wandering Poets...
Zhang Yang uses his lens to show Dali's idyllic natural scenery and unique and strong cultural life. The 18-minute film, no stunt rendering, no gorgeous performance, only a group of real people, a plain but extraordinary life in Dali, peaceful, tolerant, natural and relaxed attitude to life, let the audience see the encounter between these individual lives and Dali, and feel the desirable lifestyle of this soul and Dali.
Yunnan poet Lei Pingyang said: "Dali that place is open, the sky is open, the Erhai Sea is open, the Cangshan Mountains are open, all places are open, love to do what." Director Zhang Yang's "Living Elsewhere" allows us to see a romantic, warm and real Dali. ”
Not for worldly success, they are for music, for literature, for mountains and fields, for the wet market, for all good. When they arrive in Dali, everyone will immediately drop everything and become the teenager in their hearts.
The poet Mo Qi said, "We don't think of Dali as a utopia, we just live here."
This is Dali, a utopia that can share the endless twilight with lovers; a free city that can make people willing to drag their families and return to the hidden landscape; an ideal country that can make people live freely and happily.
Some people say that Dali "cattle people gather together, idle people paradise", it is loose and free, diverse and enlightened, and it contains many foreign wanderers who are tired of rolling red dust. They have found their ideal home here, living a calm but comfortable life.
In Dali, you can live by your own heart, you can sing fishing songs and neon, you can also enter the streets and alleys with delicacy and elegance, in short, Dali can make your life into poetry.
