Majestic rice fields in Yunnan

云南最美稻田

Yuan Longping, the Father of Hybrid Rice in China, highly praised that Yongsheng County of Yunnan is a paradisefor rice. Yunnan’s rice, especially “Six Outstanding Rice Species” are characteristically unique. Rice fields in Yunnan not only offer a visual feast for the tourists but also a food carnival for their taste buds.

中国“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平曾盛赞，云南永胜是水稻的天堂。不仅于此，云南稻米，尤其是“六大名米”更是有着“人无我有”的特色。而在旅行者眼里，云南的稻田，不仅是一片大好秀色，更是一片可餐秀色。

A cultural journey in Heiyudong Village

维摩彝乡黑鱼洞村

We started from the market of Weimo Township by car and arrived at Heiyudong Village within half an hour. It had just rained. When the car turned on to an asphalt road from the expressway, we felt the moist and fresh countryside breeze blowing on our faces. Under the smoky blue sky, with rolling hills along both sides ofthe road and the mountains disappearing from view one by one, like strokes on Chinese ink paintings fading away.

从维摩乡镇集市出发，半个小时就能到达黑鱼洞村。刚下过雨，汽车从高速路转上一条柏油公路，乡间湿润而清新的秋风拂面而来。烟青色的天幕下，道路两侧舒缓的丘陵悄然起伏着，视野中的群山渐次隐去，如同国画中黛色的笔锋由浓转淡。

The inheritor of the craft of silverinlaid blackcopperware

金永才 乌铜走银的坚守者

Unlike the noisy main streets, the Institute of Silver-inlaid Black Copperware seems to be an island of tranquility in the busy town, when only the pounding from the busy-working craftsmen can be heard. The institute consists of two parts with one displaying the wares of silver-inlaid black copperware and the other isused as the workshop for the manufacturing of wares. Jin Yongcai has created a brand called “Master Jin” with focus on the cultural inheritance as well

as product R&D, manufacturing and sales related to the craft of silverinlaid black copperware. Up to 2013, sales of craftworks of silverinlaid black copperware have exceeded RMB10 million.

不同于官渡古镇主道上的繁扰喧嚣，藏在八角亭后的乌铜走银传习馆像是闹市里专门辟出的幽境。除了手艺人的敲打声外别无其他。一边是乌铜走银工艺品的展示，一边是乌铜走银技艺的制作。金永才创立了一个品牌叫作“金大师”，该品牌专注于乌铜走银相关的文化传承、产品研发、生产及销售。到2013 年，乌铜走银的销售额已突破千万元。

Peng Tao: Shelter my soul

彭涛：为心筑房

Passing through lanes and streets in Luoping and walking along rugged mountain roads, we approached the front of this inconspicuous architecture at night. We opened the side door, passed the surrounding rocks, lit up a candles, and sat down cross-legged. With the ethereal music, the stretching tranquil night view unfolded with dark green mountains and glittering lake. Climbing up and down the huge rock and crawling into the foyer, we were embraced by immense quiescence and heard from deep down the call of our soul.

那晚，我们穿越罗平县的大街小巷，沿着崎岖山路来到一栋外表不起眼的建筑前，打开侧门，穿越乱石，点亮蜡烛，在玻璃空间盘膝而坐，远山如黛，湖面烛火粼粼，空灵音乐在黑夜弥漫。当攀爬上巨石，下到石墙底部，钻进那座塔，浩渺的虚空里尤为静寂，那是一种宁静致远的穿越，心灵的召唤。
