likes cultural journeys and hopes to pass Chinese characteristics culture to the world. Dear The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau culture has the beauty of dancing souls. Xiaomei reminded me to find a suitable topic and try again ~
If the first article is a shock of thousands of years of cultural power, the second article will serve the nation with warmth and touching enthusiasm. Spiritual portrait.
"June Meeting" presents tranquility and beauty in a fierce atmosphere! Show humor! Presenting a competition between positive and negative energies from ancient times! Showing family love and emotional warmth! These displays of national spirit are what I want to tell the future!
(8) Ladies
The ladies team is a permanent program in the "June Meeting" prayer activities in more than 400 villages. Tibetan women are very virtuous, and girls have accumulated a ladylike character from childhood.
Being there is like breaking into a magical kingdom!
There were beeswax ornaments hanging on both sides of the girl's cheeks, which represented wealth. The mother suddenly ran out from the crowd and touched the girl's beeswax.
The highlights of the girls are not only facial wax but also silver jewelry draped on the back. I really feel that people here have found a gold mine of wealth.
The youngest in the team is about 3 years old.
(9) Femininity
I have always believed that femininity is an acquired practice and the accumulation of quality. The "June Meeting" made me realize that femininity has an innate inheritance. The girl in the photo is less than 5 years old. She cannot pretend to have a temperament or train her temperament. It is the smell that comes with her mother's womb, which is very unique.
The photos I uploaded in this chapter are all of young girls, the youngest is about 1 year old and the oldest is about 13 years old. The female consciousness has not been activated, and the smell of womanhood has been fragranced...
In the three photos, is wearing The girl in the brown Tibetan robe is about 7 years old. Her skin is dark and not pretty, and she is obviously different from the girls in the greenhouse next to her. She is already able to express herself at such a young age, and she can tell stories with every smile. I chose this girl for the first photo in the next episode, and her aura stuck in my heart.
I was shocked when I first saw this girl under ten years old., She is not pretty but has her own aura, and is very eye-catching among a group of girls.
The area of Tongren County is relatively affluent, and girls who grow up in families with good conditions are weak. Girls who are free range in nature have a bit of game. In the impression, Tibetan girls should be like this.
To be honest, I had my eye on her. She deliberately avoided my camera. I chased her to her lounge and we played hide and seek.
When she appeared again, I followed her and photographed her. I said, "You can't escape this time." She smiled, and she smiled brightly.
When the girls appeared, their eyes were lowered and their expressions were dignified. She broke the rules for me. I really like her intelligence and authenticity! She makes me feel a different kind of taste...
These younger girls cannot be taught to be dignified, so they bite their lips. The youngest one in the middle has the best accent, looks decent and has a good taste. This is the loveliness flowing from the bones, the beauty of nature!
This little star has a pacifier attached to her breasts. When she was about 1 year old, she imitated her sisters and bit her lips. She is very cool! Not all young children have that Tibetan attribute!
Before a girl is carved by time, her pure temperament and different tastes lay the foundation for her future femininity!
I want to tell the future; women do not rely on their appearance and gorgeous clothes to package exquisiteness. The popularity of women depends on your high-quality taste. In this "June Meeting" I saw the virtuous taste of Tibetan women, This is a healthy ladder for children to grow up, and the future of the nation will be full of sunshine!
"Twin Sisters"
(10) The beauty of men
In my dictionary, men must be highlighted by their connotations. This "June Meeting" refreshed my understanding. I can't help but focus on the beauty of men.
They are tall, well-proportioned, strong, sunny, and handsome... Their facial features are correct and they look ideal. Their inner beauty is as shown in the film. I really can't explain how strong the magnetic field of male beauty is.
"Tibetan Artist"
This male god, who is over 2 meters tall, is both powerful and honest. He is attractive to people of any age and gender, and has the beauty of popular shoulders!
"The Beauty of Vitality"
"The Beauty of Strength"
"Softness"
"The Beauty of Chinese Characters"
"Beauty of a foreign land"
"Beauty of simplicity"
No matter which type of man's beauty, it attracts attention. This is the first time that the topic of man's beauty has attracted attention. encountered, This is also my first time to record the different masculinity, strength, grace, and saturation of men. Although I don’t know them well, this beauty is infectious very quickly.
(11) The Rhythm of the Divine Drum
This is the first time I saw a sheepskin drum. It is both graceful and agile in wind and rain. In the photo, the two dance to each other with their feet off the ground.
"Silhouette"
"Return to the Qing Dynasty"
The sheepskin drum held by the second Rawa is an antique. The locals made it by themselves. The pattern above is hand-painted, and the sheepskin The sound of the drum is loud, which can be held and danced with, which is also a special feature landscape.
The boy has become mature by playing the sheepskin drum
The cutest drummer
Playing drums is the collective memory of the festival for Chinese people. Playing sheepskin drums is a rare local cultural specialty. I want to tell the future; Culture is a mirror of the nation. Sheepskin drums You should live an even more brilliant life in a hundred thousand years!
(12) The charm of stilts and stick dances
Stilt walking is a popular festival repertoire in northern China. It appears as a dance in the "June Festival". The stilt walkers will jump with their feet off the ground, which is very exciting. !
There was water on the ground and it was very slippery. The butcher fell down and was helped up by everyone.
The stick dance performed by the boys is beautiful!
made all the children envious!
These pictures are wonderful! It is also a manifestation of strength and spiritual outlook!
(Thirteen) The Fun of Play
At the "June Meeting", he came to add to the comic performance. He was very exaggerated when he appeared. Although he could not understand the Tibetan language, he could understand the meaning.
All the actors are male, and their roles are reversed.
poured beer over
and drank like crazy. The white on his face was yogurt, which was left over from when he fed the actors a large vat of yogurt.
The actor on the ground was trying to ride the yak being thrown to the ground by the worker yak was funny.
Harlequin sat on the ground crying in grievance
was beaten on the ground
There was also a gun

The burlesque actor is also curious!
(Fourteen) Tibetan Opera Zhirou
I watched two Tibetan operas at the "June Meeting". The first one was just me and another local cultural scholar, Nima Tai, sitting in the strongest sunshine at noon. , the actors are local Tibetan opera troupes.
This is the first time I heard Tibetan opera. The voice is very soft. Tibetan songs have different high pitches. I can understand the struggle between justice and evil despite the language barrier. The photo shows the devil appearing.
That night there was a performance by the Tibetan Opera Troupe of Qinghai Province in the Tongren County Square. I borrowed the help of Teacher Nimatai and sat in the VIP area.
Both stories come from ancient times, about how the prince fought against evil forces. The stage and dance are beautiful, and I like the way the singing sounds penetrate time and space.
This is a queen singing a cappella, she is telling her son about her misfortune.
Culture is the root of the nation, the voice of the nation, and the business card of the national spirit! It needs a strong sense of identity to be passed down from generation to generation! In the cycle of centuries, dynasties are constantly changing, past and present lives are constantly in confrontation, and the cultural relay is the most difficult. I admire that such a unique ancestral culture can be preserved in the "June Meeting" activities! ! !

(15) Before and after the show
Before the show, Rawa was chatting and laughing with the villagers. The one with long hair was Rawa.
Reminiscing about the past
The elderly in the village will be invited to the VIP table.
The first thing that was brought out before the show started was this big flag with a thangka painted on it. The flagpole was too thick to hold, and the movement had to be controlled by two strong men.
Beat the ancient bell with a thick stick in the village temple
Blow a big conch
The sound of the gong travels the farthest, which is the gathering signal.

light simmering mulberry
Lifting the sedan, only the thangka paintings in the wooden frame can be seen in the sedan.
The person carrying it seemed to be struggling, and the weight was not light.
Coming down from the top of the mountain
Changing clothes on the grass in the afternoon
Envy the little sister
Pick up Hada
Old friends add WeChat
These scenes vividly reproduce the voices outside the "June Meeting", and the photos allow us to remember the excitement of every moment. , every trip is a gas station for the soul, walking with the spirit makes youth retrograde!
I took a photo with my children
(16) The warmth of the world
A father’s instructions to his son
A grandfather’s instructions to his grandson
Teacher's advice to students
Sister's advice to sister
Mother dressing up her daughter
Dad sewing tassels for his daughter
Grandpa dresses his grandson
Father dresses his young son
Brother ties belt for younger brother
Grandpa dresses grandson
Grandma dresses granddaughter
The mother was kneeling to dress her son. When she knelt down, my nose felt sore. In the play I have seen people kneeling to dress the emperor, but I have never seen a mother kneeling to dress her college student son.
Three men dressed Rawa
A father took his son to dance
I want to tell the future; love does not mean warmth, some love is like a dagger, such as doting, pushing children into the abyss of life. Some love is like a stone that crushes the heart of the loved one, such as beating and scolding the other person, especially a child. If you hit him once, it is better than loving him a hundred times! "Love" is what you feel.
"Warmth" is how the other person feels! Find the right center of gravity between "love" and "warmth", and you will not turn "love" into "disaster"!
end
" June Meeting" allowed me to enjoy a pure trip. She is very clean, pure public behavior, and the local government strongly supports it! Really rare! !
I am also worried. Will she still be able to stand where she is when the years are cleared? ! To light another beacon of light for world culture? !
At the end of the "June Meeting" Part 1 and 2, I used three photos of intoxicated children. I want to tell the future that the world belongs to new generations of new forces and the infatuation of childhood. Equivalent to the energy of adulthood! In the spiritual realm, it’s up to the children to take over!
At the main venue of the "June Meeting", I saw the children working hard from the bottom of their hearts and being as involved as the masters. This is something that cannot be seen in other ethnic minority festivals.The horizontal comparison of the quality and height of cultural brands is very clear!
This trip to the "June Meeting" shocked my soul! The heart is always in a carnival. The Chinese words may not be accurate, only the photos can speak for you to experience the real cultural time travel!
Will you still be standing where you are after a thousand years? ! !
The photos were taken by me
