Features: The Yi people hold great reverence for tigers and also for fire. In Yunnan, there is another ethnic group who are truly capable of walking on swords and leaping through flames without a scratch – this is the Lisu people! The unique geographical environment has formed a natural landscape of cohabitation among several minority ethnic groups. Through the integration of these ethnicities and cultural exchanges, more intriguing cultural landscapes have emerged: distinctive ethnic marriage customs that differ greatly from the Han Chinese, the unique vegetation and climate environment of the Three Parallel Rivers, and the culinary culture born from ethnic diversity. Additionally, the shadow puppetry, nearly forgotten by the world, not only tells the story of history but also reflects life and society. If you have free time, please open this book. It will guide you on a spiritual journey and allow you to experience the beauty of life.
