It is said that the 16th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar is the day when the Flower Fairy descended to teach people how to cultivate fruit. In honor of the Flower Fairy, this day is designated as the Fruit Festival each year. During the festival, families invite relatives and friends to feast together. At noon on that day, people serve mooncakes, play the suona (a traditional wind instrument), and sing folk songs as they go to the orchard to make offerings to the Flower Fairy. They return home for dinner only after the moon rises in the east.
Heqing Caohai is truly a highland water town. A multitude of ponds and the continuously flowing water system of the Yangong River basin form a vast natural wetland of Caohai in Heqing Baizi. During the blooming season of lotus flowers, on the 16th day of the 7th lunar month, people of all ages in the Heqing basin flock to Caohai to enjoy the beautiful lake scenery and mountains, giving rise to the traditional “Shuahui Festival.”
During the Shuahui Festival, Bai youth come to the Caohai to either row boats on the water or climb the mountains. Many also play the sanxian (a traditional three-stringed instrument) and sing Bai folk songs, enjoying their time in entertainment and games. Numerous young men and women of the Bai people find love and form happy unions at these singing events.
Originally, the activities of the Shuahui Festival were held in Pengtun Village in Heqing County, stretching from the southern part of Caohai to below the new bridge of the Xin River in Pengtun, and west of the Bonan River, excluding the Bonan section of the Xin River. After 2000, with the completion of the Dali Road between the Central Sea and the North Sea (from Mutun Village to Xinhua Village), the festival was relocated to Mutun Village under the organization of the government. Today, the Shuahui Festival has become a national festival in Heqing, and during this time, people spontaneously come together to participate in this grand celebration.

“Kuoshi” in Lisu language means “New Year,” with “kuo” meaning “year” and “shi” meaning “new.” The Kuoshi Festival is the most significant traditional festival for the Lisu people. During Kuoshi, households are busy slaughtering pigs, making sticky rice cakes, and brewing rice wine. They hold ceremonies to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one, praying for favorable weather, abundant food, and happiness in the coming year. The festival fills everyone’s heart with a warm sense of joy.
In the grand celebrations of the Kuoshi Festival, the Lisu people’s Daga dance moves and thrills the soul. Performances like climbing knife ladders, walking through fire, and stepping on glass are breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
Shimiwadi, also known as Huangcaoba, means “Golden Grassland” in the Lisu language. This picturesque place is located in the Sudian Lisu Township of Yingjiang County, at an altitude of over 1,000 meters, with over 2,000 acres of natural grassland. Shimiwadi is the homeland of clouds, the source of mist, and a paradise for colorful clouds. The plain is dotted with cattle and horses, unique trees, meandering rivers, and gently rolling terrain surrounded by hills. It blooms in spring, shades in summer, fruits in autumn, and greens in winter, resembling a utopia and serving as an ideal destination for tourists.
Recently, Shimiwadi remains frosty in the early morning, maintaining its springtime romance. Departing from the plains at 6 a.m., visitors can witness its beauty upon arrival. For those who find early mornings challenging, staying overnight in a stargazing tent in Shimiwadi offers the experience of waking up to a white world outside the door. After a day of play, the sunset casts an orange glow over the night, and the sky fills with stars as you sit by a bonfire, enjoying the tranquility far from the city. If you haven’t visited Shimiwadi yet, take this festival as an opportunity!
Xiamongpi is a Lisu ethnic minority village with bamboo fences, bamboo and wooden buildings, and small bridges over flowing water, exuding a strong Lisu cultural atmosphere. Upon entering the village, mysterious “sacred pillars” with “holy bowls” atop line both sides of the road, invoking a sense of awe and reverence. On the left side of the village square, a circular hill hosts the more mysterious and ancient altar “Shimiwadi Sacred Pillars,” adorned with goat and cow heads, eerie and daunting. Scattered “stone inscriptions” on the hillsides, pathways, and courtyards tell stories of this ancient people with their intriguing, rustic, and vigorous carvings.
After enjoying natural beauty, immerse yourself in history and culture. At the junction of Sudian Township and Zhanxi Town in Yingjiang County stands the Shenhuguan Ruins. Shenhuguan, one of the eight passes built during the Ming Dynasty’s Wanli reign to defend against invasions, was known locally as “Laoguancheng.” Controlling key routes like Chashan, Guyong, Weimian, and Yixi, it was a strategic point. According to “Tengyue Prefecture Annals,” the fort was thirty zhang around, three zhang high, with a five-zhang-four chi tall tower and an official residence. The ancient gate tunnel was seven zhang deep, one zhang wide, and one zhang three chi high, with nine chi high walls on either side. In 1986, the site was listed as a protected cultural relic in Yingjiang County, with a commemorative stone stele. In 2009, it became a protected cultural relic of Dehong Prefecture. Today, remnants of bricks and stones from the once-mighty pass still tell its historical tales.
From its construction in the twenty-second year of Wanli to today, Shenhuguan has stood for over four hundred years. Despite its current ruins, the remaining walls and bricks continue to narrate its history, singing timeless patriotic songs.
Besides festive activities, historical culture, and scenic beauty, the local cuisine will captivate you! Yingjiang’s culinary delights include Lisu-style chicken porridge, bamboo rice chicken, new rice, fermented fish, pickled vegetables, stinky bamboo shoots, buckwheat jelly, and Jeep-cooked eggs.

茶山人语言生活的主要特点
如上所述,景颇族有不同的支系,不同的支系使用不同的语言。从语言系属分类上看, 景颇族不同支系使用的不同语言,分属于汉藏语系藏缅语族两个不同的语支。
景颇支系说的 景颇语,属于景颇语支;
其他支系所说的载瓦语、勒期语、浪速语、波拉语、茶山语属于彝缅 语支。
在彝缅语支里,茶山语与勒期语比较接近,但也有一些差异。比如在词源关系上,在 1000 个基本词汇中,两种语言的同源词有563 个,占56.3%;异源词有289 个,占26,9%; 半同源词有148 个,占14.8%。又如在语音上,勒期语有长短元音的对立,茶山语没有;勒 期语的双唇颚化音茶山语大多消失,转成舌尖颚化音等。由于这些差异,使得茶山人和勒期 人相互通话有一定的困难。
在片马地区,茶山人都保留自己的母语。茶山人认为,茶山语是自己民族的一个重要特 征,是族群认同的重要标志,必须保持使用自己的语言。无论在家庭内部,还是在村寨里, 茶山语都是茶山人之间的交际工具。此外,茶山语不仅在片马地区的茶山村寨通行,而且还 广泛使用于与片马一河之隔的缅甸茶山人村寨。 茶山人除了普遍使用自己的母语以外,大部分人还兼用了当地的区域强势语傈僳语和 全国的通用语汉语,成为具有三种语言能力的多语人。还有少部分茶山人,除了掌握这三种 语言以外,还懂缅语、景颇语、白语等,懂得的语言多达五、六种。
在日常生活中,片马茶山 人能够根据不同的交际对象、不同的交际内容、不同的交际目的,自如地交换使用不同的语 言,以协调自己的语言生活,满足社会的需求。多种语言各司其职、和谐互补,成为茶山人 语言生活的重要特征。
片马茶山人
1、茶山人是脱离民族主体的一个人数较少的族群 在我国,茶山人主要分布在云南省泸水县片马镇的岗房、古浪、片马三个行政村。该镇与 缅甸密支那省只有一河之隔(小江),茶山人大多分布在中缅边界线上。 茶山人是景颇族的一个人口较少的支系。
我国的景颇族,主要分布在云南省德宏傣族景 颇族自治州,下分景颇、载瓦、勒期、浪速、波拉、茶山等支系。茶山人自称“峨昌”(与阿昌 族的自称相同),他称“茶山”,与
勒期支系比较接近,过去把它列入勒期支系内。但茶山 人认为自己的语言、文化、服饰等都与勒期支系不同,应该是独立的一个支系。
片马镇总人口1769 人(2008 年)。这里分布着茶山、傈僳、汉、白、怒等民族,是一个多 民族杂居的边境乡镇。其中傈僳族的人口最多,有684 人,其次是茶山人,有587 人。此外, 白族385 人,汉族93 人,壮族15 人,怒族5 人。
值得一提的是,茶山人是片马地区居住时间较长的民族群体。据史籍记载,茶山人的祖 先来到片马已有上千年的历史。唐代《南诏德化碑》上就篆刻有“寻传、禄郸、丽水、祁鲜”等 名称。据考证,“寻传”就是今天的景颇族先民;丽水就是今天的伊洛瓦底江;禄郸则是丽 水的支流,即今天片马的小江。
小江自片马、岗房、古浪边境西北流入伊洛瓦底江上游的恩梅 开江。上述大片地区迄今为止仍是景颇族分布的地区。
至于“祁鲜”,就是今天伊洛瓦底江 西岸的甘高山,属我国唐宋元时期丽水节度管辖的地区,也是景颇族分布的地区。
又据 《蛮书》卷七记载“犀,出越赕(腾越,今之腾冲),高丽共人以陷阱取之。”“高黎共人”一 词系景颇语的“高丽山的人”。
“高丽”是景颇族的一个部落,又称“高黎”或“高日”。 由此可见,至少约公元8 世纪时,景颇族高丽部落已居住在高黎贡山一带了。
景颇族是一个由北方南下的民族,在迁移的过程中,茶山支系与景颇族的主体分离了, 在封闭的怒江州片马地区定居,在民族特征上形成了自己的特点。其语言成了一个“语言孤 岛”,也出现了许多新的特征。
