Pear Blossom Festival of Bai Ethnic Minority in Dali

Pear Blossom Festival of Bai Ethnic Minority in Dali

Chinese Name:白族梨花会 English Name: Pear Blossom Festival of Bai Ethnic Minority in Dali 梨花会是白族传统盛会,在每年梨花盛开时节举行。阳春三月,遍布在剑川坝子里、坡地上、河谷间的座座梨园都披上了洁白雅致的素装,棵棵梨树上缀满了耀眼的白花。梨园里荡漾着美的韵味,在春风里摇曳的梨树枝条,仿佛向人们频频招手。人们三五成群,或亲朋同聚,或举家共乐,纷纷到梨园里野餐,开展春游活动。 白族崇尚白色,相传这事惹恼的黑魔鬼,它施妖术把世间白色的东西全变成了黑色,梨树也枯死了。有一位名叫梨花的白族姑娘,历尽艰险取到了老君山白龙潭里的龙乳。他把龙乳喷在黑魔鬼的身上,黑魔鬼马上变成一块石头,枯死的梨树重新开出了耀眼的白花。为了纪念为民除害的梨花姑娘,于是人们每年都要举行梨花会。 鹤庆首届梨花节之所以在奇峰村举办,是因为奇峰村是网络投选出来的大理“十大美丽乡愁”之一,是大理新出现的乡村活动美景地,它位于大理州鹤庆县西邑镇,距鹤庆县城58公里,是白族、傈僳族、苗族等多民族集居地的小山村,不仅自然生态美景秀美,民风也纯朴,每年都有不少人到乡村做客,到山里看梨花。 不过巍山县等地也在今年3月举报梨花节。 因此,这个是大理州各县往旅游方向发展的项目,没有历史渊源。...
