云南民族村英语讲解词

The Yunnan Nationalities Village (Yunnan Minzucun) is located on the northeastern shore of Dianchi Lake and is a good place to show visitors to Yunnan the culture and traditions of the numerous ethnic groups in the province.

In the Village compound, 25 different independent villages have been planned, but at present only about 20 have been constructed. In addition to these \"ethnic villages\performing White Elephants, the Dinosaur Island theme park area, a concert area for ethnic singing and dancing performances, as well as an Asian Elephant show in the Plaza of Ethnic Unity.

The climax of a visit to the Nationalities Park is a film shown on a fountain of water. The \"villagers\" are all chosen from the youth of the relevant nationalities to act as guides and performers for tourists. The three major villages represent the Dai, the Bai and the Yi nationalities.

The Bai Nationality Village:

The Bai Village is famous for its Butterfly Museum, which is the biggest of its kind in China. The museum is a typical Bai construction, which is comprised of rooms and residences on three sides and a wall on the southern side.

The southern wall is typically decorated quite beautifully with an ornate flower bed. Part of the reason for this architecture is that Dali (where a majority of Bais live) is a windy town, where the wind, while not very strong, blows all year round.

Also in the Village, there is a replicated temple dedicated to the God of Erhai Lake (modeled after a temple in Dali). The young warrior, enshrined in the temple, was known as Duan Chicheng.

He exterminated evil villains and spirits for the Bai people and has been worshipped as the safeguard of the Bai people around Dali ever since. If you burn several sticks of incense to him, you may also gain his protection, but we'd recommend trying it at the real temple in Dali.

Welcome to Yunnan. Now we are on the way to the Yunnan Nationalities Village. As we will be there in a few minutes, let me give you a brief introduction about Yunnan. Yunnan has a very long history and ancient civilization. The creators of this wonderful land are not any others but 26 nationalities who have been living on this land. There are altogether 56 nationalities in China, and 25 ethnic minorities are living in Yunnan Province. Yunnan is the only province in China where there are so many nationalities, and 15 of 26 nationalities can only be found in Yunnan. As Yunnan has so many nationalities, it has lots of different cultures. If you want to have a general idea of them, it is not practical to travel around all the areas. Then what

you can do is what we are doing now; let’s visit Yunnan Nationalities Village! That’s why we built the “Yunnan Nationalities Village”. We can say, “They kill several birds with one stone”.

The Yunnan Nationalities Village is now an

important resort in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan. It is located on the lakeshore

of Dianchi Lake, the bright Pearl on the Plateau in the south of Kunming and occupies 1340 mu.

In the Yunnan Nationalities Village 25 villages are meant to be built for each of the 25 ethnic minorities in Yunnna, now they are still under construction, only 13 villages have been finished, and we can visit them. In the village you can watch the song and dance

performance given by different nationalists. And you will enjoy the beautiful scenes made by the blue sky, green

trees, colourful flowers and so on. OK, now we are at the Yunnan Nationalities Village.

The main gate is just over there. See? There are some

white elephants wondering along the fields. They are singing to welcome you.

The first spot we will get to is the Dai Nationalities Village. This village is a miniature of the Dai area with

3 sides facing waters and beautiful scenery. The population of the Dai Nationality is more than 1 million, mainly living in the Xishuangbanna and Dehong prefecture.

“Dai” this word refers to “freedom” in the Dai language. So we often regard Dai nationality as a free nationality. The religion of the Dai Nationality is Hinayana, a section of Buddhism. The Dai people will feel proud if their boy can be a monk. It is a common practice to send 7~8 years old boys off to the temples to learn to read and write

and chant scriptures as a form of schooling. Some of

them become monks, while most of them return to

secular life at the age of 20, which they call “becoming a real man”. The Dai people mostly living on the plains,

near rivers of streams. They love waters and swimming. The Dais have a rich and colorful culture, their own

language, and some famous literary works as well. By

the way,peacocks and elephants are the auspicious animals for the Dai people. This is a typical Dai’s house with two storeys. The upper storey serves as the living room, while the lower storey, without walls, is used as a

storehouse and for keeping livestock. Let’s go upstairs. Here is the living room while that room is the bedroom.

Strangers are not allowed to get in or peer into it because they think their so

uls and family god live in the bedroom, too. If strangers come into the bedroom, they will disturb the family god and take away their souls. If a guest

is coming to stay overnight, he can only sleep in the living room with his feet facing the door to show his respect

to the host and at the same time indicate that he will leave the family very soon.

Now we are at a Burmese temple. When you go upstairs, you have to take off your shoes. This is a bronze statue of Sakyamuni, founder of Buddhism. As we said, The Dai people all believed in Himayana Buddhism, so Buddhist temples are found in every Dai village. A Buddhist temple is one of the most important places where the Dai people hold their religious activities. Out of the temple we can see a well and a pavilion which we call a water sprinkel gloriette. Both of them have something to do with the Dai’s Water Sprinkle Festival, also called the New Year’s Day by theDais. It is from June the 24th to the 26th on

the Dai calendar every year,

that is April the 13th to the 15th on the Gregorian calendar. As we mentioned that Dai people worship water, this festival is the most important for Dai people. On this grand occasion, the Dai people will get together, and sprinkle water onto each other for happiness. The one who splashes, muttering some words of good wish, dips on olive branch into a basin of clear water and lets off a few drops. The more water splashed, the greater blessings and the more happiness for the recipient. This festival comes from India. It was originally a religious ritual of Brahmanism

, then absorbed by Buddhism. At the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries it spread to the Dai areas in Yunnan, China. Until now it has a very long history of over 700yeas. This way, please.

Now we are at the white pagoda. This pagoda is the most grandiose building in the Dai village. Around it there are 40 small pagodas, in each of which there is a small Buddha. At the top of it there are 365 bells singing with the wind. The Dai people think that the sound of the bells will bring lucky to people who hear it. Then we are on the way to the next village, can you guess what it is?
