Dali is a place where tourists yearn to live, where the picturesque scenery of the four seasons deeply attracts us, and it is famous for the four scenery of Dali wind, flowers, snow and moon, and which are the four scenery of wind, flowers, snow and moon? Let's take a look at the latest introduction of Dali wind and snow.

  Dali is picturesque all year round, and among the many scenic spots, the four scenes of wind, flowers, snow and moon are the most famous and fascinating. Therefore, about the four scenes of wind, flowers, snow, and moon, the local Bai people also have a riddle poem that has been recited from generation to generation. The poem says: Insects enter the phoenix's nest and do not see the bird (wind), and the grass (flower) grows on the heads of seven people; Drizzle fell on Hengshan (snow), and half of my friends were gone (moon).

After visiting Dali, some famous writers were full of emotion about the four scenes of Dali's wind, flowers, snow and moon, and left a poem for this: Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Xiaguan wind blows Shangguan flowers; Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines on Cangshan snow. How can we miss such a beautiful scenery, so let's take a look at these four scenes.

Dali Fenghua Xueyue [Wind]

  Xiaguan Feng, according to legend, lived on the Sunset Peak of Cangshan Mountain, fell in love with a scholar in Xiaguan, so he turned into a human form and interacted with the scholar, and their love was rejected by the Erhai Master, who drove the scholar into Erhai Lake. The fox girl begged Guanyin to save the scholar, and Guanyin gave her six bottles of wind and asked her to use the wind in the bottle to dry the Erhai Sea to rescue the scholar. But who knew that he was plotted by the mage and broke the five bottles of wind, so the wind was all gathered on the natural bridge, so the wind in Xiaguan was particularly strong. According to the scientific explanation, it is because the nineteen peaks of Cangshan are too high, blocking the air convection on the east and west sides, and the Xiaguan Tianshengqiao Canyon between the Xieyang Peak of Cangshan and the Zhemo Mountain in the Ailao Mountains is only the outlet of Xiaguan air convection, so the wind in Xiaguan is particularly strong, especially in winter and spring.

Dali Fenghua Snow Moon [Flower]

  Shangguan Flower, located at the foot of Yunlong Peak in Cangshan Mountain, Dali, is a fortress that has been formed since the Tang Dynasty to defend Dali. In the flower tree village outside the pass, there is a flower tree called "Ten Mile Fragrance", which is said to have been planted by the immortal Lu Dongbin, the flower is as large as a lotus, 12 petals bloom every year, 13 petals bloom in the year, the flower color is yellow and white, beautiful and attractive. The shell of the fruit after the flower is black and hard, and can be used as morning pearls, so it is also called morning pearl flower. In the late Qing Dynasty, because there were too many people visiting, especially the dignitaries of the government who came here to enjoy the flowers, they had to be entertained by the local Bai people, and the people could not bear the burden of eating for nothing, so they put the flower hurdle on the door. According to research, the Shangguan flower is the magnolia flower, which can be seen everywhere in Dali.

Dali Fenghua Snow Moon [Snow]

  Cangshan snow, why the snow on Cangshan Mountain has not melted for thousands of years, there is a beautiful legend circulating among the people of Dali. According to legend, in ancient times, a group of plague gods ran rampant in Dali Damzi, causing "ten people to get sick and nine to die". In order to save the suffering people, two brothers and sisters of the Bai clan returned from studying the Dharma under the guidance of Guanyin, and threw the plague god to the top of Cangshan Mountain, causing the snow to freeze to death. In order to make the plague god never come back, the sister also turned into a snow god and forever suppressed the plague god on Cangshan Mountain, so Cangshan Snowman Peak had white snow that would not melt for thousands of years. In fact, it is because the altitude of Cangshan is too high and the temperature on the top of the mountain is low.

Dali Fenghua Snow Moon [Moon]

  Erhai Moon, every Mid-Autumn Festival night on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the Bai families living on the shore of Erhai Lake in Dali have to row wooden boats into Erhai Lake to admire the golden moon reflected in the sea, and the sky, clouds, moon and sea water correspond to each other to form a beautiful picture. Regarding Erhai Moon, the most widely circulated is the story of Princess Tiangong descending to earth.Legend has it that there was a princess in the heavenly palace who envied the happy life in the world and went down to Erhai Lake to marry a fisherman. In order to help the fishermen live a good life, the princess sank her treasure mirror to the bottom of the sea and illuminated the fish clearly, so that the fishermen could catch more fish. Since then, the treasure mirror has become a golden moon in Haiti, shining brightly and shining on generations of fishermen, so it has become the "Erhai Moon" for people to see.

The above is the latest introduction to Dali Fenghua Snow Moon, I think you and Anna can't help but take your heartbeat, so hurry up and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dali Fenghua Snow Moon.
