Recently, there have been some criticisms of the Yi compatriots on the Internet, and some netizens think that the Yi compatriots are barbaric and backward, do not pay attention to hygiene, and have many shortcomings, which is really a misunderstanding. This is not conducive to the policy of national unity, still less to the political situation of national stability and unity.
Only when the overall situation is stable can a country carry out all kinds of construction, and the unity and reunification of the 56 nationalities of the Chinese nation is the foundation of all our undertakings. This concept of the overall situation must be there, problems will always exist, what everyone says has a reason, the key is that there must be a view of the overall situation, and a big truth must control many small truths.
Of course, a country should give enough respect to every citizen, so that the socialist rule of law, democracy, freedom and equality can be implemented in every corner of society. Respect is mutual, there is no such thing as an absolute in this world, and a society should achieve overall balance through a reasonable social system.
Of course, this balance is always dynamic, and how to treat the people and how to pay attention to the disadvantaged groups has become an important symbol of a civilized society.
The Yi are one of China's 56 fraternal ethnic groups, mainly living in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi in southwest China.
The Yi are the sixth largest ethnic minority in China, mainly living in Chuxiong, Honghe, Liangshan, Bijie, Liupanshui and Anshun in southwest China.
Recently, the issue of the Yi nationality has become a hot topic on the Internet again.
There is a **, saying that there is a hotel in Dongguan, Guangdong, and there is a Yi compatriot who wants to stay in the hotel. The front desk of the hotel saw that it was the Yi nationality in Liangshan, Sichuan, and refused to let this Yi compatriot stay.
What's even more strange is that there are still many people in the comment section who support the hotel's approach. There are many people who stand with the hotel, saying bad things about the Yi compatriots, saying that the Yi brothers do not pay attention to hygiene, basically do not take a bath, defecate everywhere, and have a strong temperament, uncontrolled, if they go to work, they often gang up, fight and fight. In short, it is as bad as it is, and if you refuse to integrate into modern civilization, you deserve to be abandoned by society.
Of course, hotels are business organizations and do not represent the attitude of the state. The state's ethnic policy is ethnic equality, and special attention is paid to remote ethnic minorities to help them shake off poverty and become rich and enter modern civilization.
Of course, I believe that this has played a big role, but because they have a lot of bad traditions in history, there may still be a few people who have a bad image outside, fight, and do not pay attention to hygiene, but this does not represent the overall image of the entire Yi people.
Moreover, this nation has many beautiful national cultural traditions, and has a glorious revolutionary tradition, and the story of the Yihai alliance has been passed down for centuries.
1935-1936, Red Army.
The First and Second Front Armies passed through the Yi region twice and propagated ethnic policies in northeastern Yunnan, northern Yunnan, and Liangshan Yi areas, and were supported by the broad masses of the Yi people, and many outstanding sons and daughters of the Yi nationality joined the Red Army. In Mianning, the Red Army opened the prison and released the Yi people who were "sitting on the quality of the shift". Inspired by the party's ethnic policy, Xiao Yedan, the head of the Guoji family of the Yi nationality in Mianning, formed an alliance with the chief of the General Staff of the Red Army in accordance with the traditional customs of the Yi nationality in Mianning Yihai, which enabled the Red Army to successfully pass through the Yi area and win the victory of crossing the Dadu River and seizing the Luding Bridge. ** The red flag of the "Guji (i.e., Guoji) Detachment of the Chinese Yimin Red Army" was also awarded to Little Yodan to encourage them to organize guerrilla detachments against Kuomintang rule. The revolutionary fire sown by the Red Army was widely spread in the Yi area, and people cherished the red flags and used items left by the Red Army with respect and longing for the Red Army.
I have a deep affection for the Yi people, and my first love was a Yi girl from Yunnan, around 1995, when I carried out activities in Chuxiong, Yunnan and Daliangshan, Sichuan. Although running on the rivers and lakes, I have formed a deep relationship with the local people, and always adhere to the principle of not taking a stitch from the common people, and not entering the people's homes without permission.
No matter how difficult it is for me, I always adhere to a red line, do not disturb the people, sometimes I am outside, I would rather sleep in the wilderness than enter the people's homes.
The mountains on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are verdant and primitive, the pine trees covering the sky and the sun, the green grasslands, and the gurgling streams make you forget to return. Although it is very poor, it is simple and heroic, on the top of the high mountain, the sunset shines in the evening, the colorful glow is flying, and the colorful flowers compete for beauty, blooming with the brilliance of life.
The turbulent and mighty Jinsha River has become the boundary river between Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, and it is also the source of the Yangtze River. But this mother has a bit of a short temper, and the flooding of the Yangtze River is always a hidden danger for us. Sometimes I think that the Jinsha River is the mother river of the Yi people, from which countless children of the Yi nationality originate and go to all directions and all parts of the country.
In many places on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, eucalyptus trees are often seen, this thing has a strong smell, and there are few mosquitoes in the eucalyptus forest in summer.
From Guangtong in Lufeng County in Chuxiong to the Jinsha River in Yuanmou, from more than 2,800 meters above sea level to 890 meters above sea level, a straight drop of more than 2,000 meters, the Chengdu-Kunming Railway has passed through many S-shaped curves to climb up to the plateau area. The temperature seems to have gone from spring to summer, Lufeng Guangtong has more than 20 degrees, after less than 100 kilometers of mountainous areas, it is about 30 degrees when it arrives in Yuanmou, and it is so hot that he wears short sleeves. The altitude has had a significant impact on life in the mountainous areas of the Yi people.
Height not only determines the cognitive horizon, but also determines the warmth and coldness of the world.
In the summer of 1995, I was active in Yunnan, as a figure in the rivers and lakes, I never disturbed the people, the people are not easy, the people are difficult. I am specifically looking for those who oppress the people and harm the people.
In the streets of Jiangbian Township, Yuanmou County, the quaint wooden doors and wooden buildings seem to bring us into the war years filled with gunpowder, 60 years ago in the spring of 1935, the Red First Division of the Red Army came to Jiangbian Township, pretending to cross the river, attracting the enemy, and covering the victory of the Red Army crossing the Jinsha River. To this day, the slogan left by the Red Army is still clearly posted on the walls of these houses: "Oppose the White Army commander beating and scolding the soldiers!" The Red Army is the savior of the poor! Join the Red Army and defeat the local tyrants and inferior gentry! It's very simple and easy to understand. The old lady who sold bananas on the street told me excitedly that in 1935, the Red Army came down from that eastern mountain to save the poor people in the world from turning over and living a better life. As he spoke, the old man actually sang the Red Army tune of the year.
This area is the main gathering area of the Yi people in China, and in my opinion, the Yi people have a bold temperament, dare to love and hate, can sing and dance, and are versatile. Of course, I did hear that there is a legend in the history of the Yi people who do not take a bath for life, at that time I was puzzled, the Yi gathering area of Chuxiong in Yunnan Province is relatively cold due to the higher terrain, but the precipitation is abundant, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, as for the Sichuan Daliang Mountain, it is even more powerful, the Jinsha River flows from there, and it is a tropical climate, and the person who does not take a bath does not stink. Later, I went deep into the masses and realized that there is a reason why there is such a legend.
On the mountains of Chuxiong, Yunnan, Yi compatriots meet a kind of earthen house called Ganlan, the lower house raises pigs, sheep and other livestock, and the upper house lives with people. However, in history, the Yi compatriots here have been in the feudal serfdom for a long time, the feudal Tusi and the various lords live in the houses above, and also put some food or something, and the Yi slaves live with livestock on the lower floor, and suffer inhuman torture for a long time, and are oppressed by the feudal lords at the bottom and suffer all the human suffering. Of course, this kind of dry bar is called Tuzhangfang in some places, and the Tuotuo meat has distinctive Yi characteristics, and the flavor is long! Tutuo meat looks vulgar, but in fact, the more you eat it, the more flavorful it becomes, and you enjoy it.
The legend of Ashima is also a beautiful and moving love story of the Yi people, which shows that the Yi people are not only industrious and brave, dare to love and hate, but also full of imagination, often wearing colorful clothes, dancing, singing beautiful love and happy labor.
It was not until after the liberation of New China that the vast number of Yi compatriots really turned over and became masters, and they lived from the bottom floor of the tulou to the upper floor. At the time of liberation, in order to respect the Yi compatriots, the People's Liberation Army stipulated that cadres stationed in the Yi region could not intermarry with ethnic minority girls, so as not to intensify the contradictions with the ethnic minorities.
On June 24 of the lunar calendar every year, the torch festival of the Yi nationality is particularly famous, of course, it has now become a common festival of the Yi nationality and the Han nationality and other ethnic groups. The toasting songs of ethnic minorities are intoxicating, and the Yi girls dressed in colorful clothes sing and dance, and they also strongly persuade the guests from afar to drink the bowl of baogu wine.
I was really impressed by the hospitality of the Yi compatriots, Tuotuo meat and green vegetables, plus oil and spicy seeds, drinking a bowl of Baogu wine, and my sister holding hands around the green mountains, not a fairy, better than a fairy.
I met a Yi girl here in Heijing Town, Chuxiong, and often went to the river with her to play, we used small stones to play in the water, and went to her house to drink at night. Then he sneaked out with me, and we lived together for a while in an inn in town.
At that time, we felt very stupid, very simple, did not know the importance of money, were proud and righteous, and liked to play everywhere.
There are quite a lot of ethnic minorities in Guizhou in Yunnan, there are 26 ethnic minorities in Yunnan, Yunnan is a hot land rich in glorious revolutionary traditions, the Chongjiu Uprising and the National Defense Movement originated in Yunnan, and in the modern War of Resistance Against Japan, the Yunnan army also made outstanding contributions. However, Yunnan people have a national temperament, that is, seeking truth from facts and loving more truthfully, having a violent temperament, daring to love and hate, looking rough on the surface, and full of justice and conscience in their bones.
In fact, the current Yi nationality is not divided into men and women, and should pay attention to hygiene, and live with cattle, horses and livestock every day in history, and others must have different opinions.
Later, due to various life changes, I left Yunnan, but I have always missed that place, the Yi compatriots have been unjustly treated inhumane for a long time in history, and have also resisted heroically many times, and they also have many distinctive national characteristics.
People are destined to experience joys and sorrows in this life, have walked through many places, left many marks, and some good memories, even if it is a kind of hardship, it is also a kind of enjoyment and free and easy, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, taste everything, go to the world frankly, and walk in vain.
There are no absolute good and bad people in this world, it is the system that creates people with different attributes, as long as the society treats others as people, respects and cares for others, people will return the favor and repay themselves. For the Yi compatriots, they do have their own shortcomings and shortcomings, but we should see their advantages, accept them with great love and tolerance, believe in them, and use the power of the system and the spirit of science to change and improve them.
Socialist democracy, freedom and equality are by no means just a slogan, but should be embodied in every one of our laws and decrees, embodied in every detail of our lives, love the Yi compatriots is to love oneself, is to love China, only when everyone makes progress together, the Chinese nation will achieve a real rise!
Our whole society should use a broad mind to tolerate some of the shortcomings of ethnic minorities, and we cannot pour more salt on the wounds of our brothers and sisters, 56 brothers and sisters are one family, and our modernization needs a stable and united overall situation in order to achieve common prosperity for all people.
