July 30 is the 25th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and it is also the hottest day of the annual "Bao Noon" in Liujie Town, Jinning District. From mountain forests and reservoirs to village markets, from day to night, people indulge in a variety of activities and enjoy the joy of the night, leaving many unforgettable and beautiful memories.
Between the green mountains and green waters, under the blue sky and white clouds, it is naturally the "big stage" of Bao Chenwu. From noon, the masses of Shili and Eight Townships spontaneously organized, brought all kinds of delicacies and cooking utensils to Shimenkan Reservoir and the surrounding area of Longwangtang, and carried out picnics and camping activities at the selected locations one or two days in advance. People are busy trimming the lawn, burying pots in stoves, setting up tents, washing vegetables and cutting fungi, and carefully preparing the annual gluttonous meal.
In Liujie Town, there are many versions of the origin of Bao Shuwu, from myths and legends to the evolution of the times, all of which are closely related to the word "eat", vividly embodying the eternal truth of "people take food as the sky".
Yang Kun, a retired teacher from Liujie Town, said that Bao Shuwu embraced the customs and culture of the Han and Yi ethnic groups, with cultural and artistic activities at noon and torch playing and dancing at night.
Due to its long history and rich humanistic characteristics, this traditional folk custom of Liujie Town has now been selected into the list of intangible cultural heritage protection at the district and municipal levels, and has been interpreted from the simple Bao Yu Wu in the past to a series of colorful activities such as Bao Yu Wu, Catch up with the Market, Mountain Song Tune Competition, Long Street Banquet, Bonfire Party, etc., which have been well inherited and innovated in the era of integrated development of culture and tourism, and have played a positive role in boosting the local rural revitalization, and have also received continuous and extensive attention from the central, provincial and municipal media at all levels.
On that day, there was also a lively noon market. From noon to night, the six streets are full of special agricultural products, special snacks, intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, made torches and other items. The most distinctive is the street of wild mushrooms, where different varieties of wild mushrooms are stained with soil and dew in the most down-to-earth way, presenting the most ecological gifts of a national ecological township to guests from all over the world, which is naturally sought after by the early adopters. You don't have to wait until lunchtime for the wild mushrooms to be sold out.
In the evening, along with the cheerful singing and dancing welcome activities of the Yi people, the guests on the special long street banquet will be endless, 140 tables of banquet, full of tea tree mushroom stewed chicken, yellow stewed mutton, roast skin, god legs, barbecue, salted fish, pickled duck eggs, fried green head mushrooms, edamame corn, golden fungus and other delicacies, people drink heartily, talk about friendship, while enjoying the songs and dances of the Yi nationality, enjoy different ethnic customs.
When night fell, it was pouring rain, but the enthusiasm of the people for the afternoon and the torch festival did not diminish in the slightest. When the bonfire is lit and the dynamic music is played, everyone puts on portable raincoats, holds umbrellas, and sings and dances around the bonfire. Some tourists simply embraced their nature, and used the heat that the rain could not extinguish, to release their different selves, and spent a happy and unforgettable day.
