云南腾冲及各地少数民族风俗习惯 不要惊讶云南的男女裸浴风俗

1. Lugu Lake at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan

Those who have traveled to Lugu Lake at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan will have heard the name Yongning Hot Spring countless times, as well as the traditional Mosuo people's custom of bathing together for men and women.

Mosuo people believe that bathing in hot springs can wash away illnesses. At the same time, hot springs are also an important place for Mosuo people to socialize. After a hard day's work, they meet up with a few friends, bring eggs, cakes and other food, and spend a few hours chatting and singing while soaking. This has formed an unchanging scenery for hundreds of years. Mosuo men and women bath together

In the 1960s, when the decade of the Cultural Revolution began, relevant leaders believed that naked bathing by men and women was detrimental to civilization, so they ordered the local government to build a wall in the middle of the hot spring to separate men and women.

The Mosuo people were not used to it. Fortunately, the wall was not high, and people could appreciate the body on the other side of the wall when they stood up. Later, the bricks on the wall gradually became shorter and shorter, and people could easily walk over the wall. Foreign tourists also come here to experience the "shared bathing" experience, which is separated by a brick wall and furnished together.

People will never have ancient "evil thoughts" when bathing naked in Mosuo hot springs.

2. Dashu Hot Spring in Luxi (Mangshi), Yunnan

The De'ang people were only finally named in 1985, and had been called "Benglong" before that. In Luxi City (Mangshi) in southwest Yunnan, where this ethnic group lives, there is also the custom of bathing naked and bathing together for men and women.

Among the many hot springs in Luxi, the thousand-year-old Rongquan Spring located next to Mangbang Village in Zhefang Town is the most magical. This spring is composed of many springs, and the water quality is pure. The so-called Longchi is the mother spring, the largest spring, born under a huge ancient banyan tree.

The most amazing thing about Gushu Hot Spring is that for hundreds of years, the hot water of more than 50 degrees has not only failed to cook this big banyan tree, but has made it green and green, with luxuriant branches and leaves, making it immortal.

Bath naked in the "Royal Spa"

Back then, Gushu Hot Spring had always been classified as a "royal hot spring". Only chieftains could bathe in this spring, other officials could bathe in the male pool, and wives and concubines could only bathe in the smallest female spring. And people with flat heads and all natures can't even take a step near the spring, let alone enjoy the warm soup.

But now, ordinary people can also enjoy the nourishment of the trickles of ancient tree hot springs. If you go at the right time, there will even be beautiful women bathing naked in the water with you!

3. Nujiang Grand Canyon Open-air Hot Spring

There are many hot springs in the Nujiang Grand Canyon. There are many such open-air hot springs. Most of them have been slightly renovated, built a small shed or a hut, and have simple facilities. They charge three to five yuan to tourists, which is convenient for others and benefits themselves. It is good.

The Lisu and Fufang people living in the Nujiang Gorge in Yunnan have the habit of bathing in hot springs. People bathing are very civilized and polite, and men and women respect each other. They use the holy hot spring water to wash away the filth of the year and usher in good luck.

This custom of people along the Nu River is called "Bathhouse Party" and it has a history of more than 100 years.

4. Mengla Hot Spring, Yunnan

The Dai people located in Mengla Township, Yunnan Province are a water-loving nation, and they have always retained the traditional custom of naked bathing for men and women.

Simple young men and women of the Dai nationality bathe naked in a pool together, or bathe in small groups while holding household items, or soak their bodies and minds softly in the water, like fish skewering in the pool, forming a unique landscape.

Here men and women bathe naked in the same pool without any protection, and there are no obstacles in between. Bathing in the embrace of nature, feeling the hot springs with bubbles coming out from under you, enjoying the green mountains and blue sky, you will have the feeling of "heaven on earth".

It is this complete relaxation of body and mind, and the sufficient nutrition in the water, that gives people wonderful enjoyment, and plays a good therapeutic role in people suffering from diseases.

Looking at the hot springs, the floating smoke exhales, and the passionate Dai servants, young men and women, squatting, standing, half-naked men and women bathing together, full of fun, civilized and elegant, truly forming a harmonious picture of "man and nature". It is said that local Dai girls and boys who are indifferent to love have the custom of taking a "mandarin duck bath" in the hot spring at night.

5. Bathing and purification in Xichou River, Wenshan Mountain

There is a Zhuang village called Shangguo Village in Xichou County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Shangguo Village has always inherited the habit of worshiping the sun from primitive tribes in a matrilineal society. Women's Sun Festival, also known as Women's Day, is a traditional festival in Shangguo Village, Xichou County. It originated from the worship of the sun by the ancestors of a matrilineal clan society. In the morning, all women aged 16 or above in the village go to the river in front of the village to bathe and purify themselves, then put on traditional Zhuang costumes and wait for the sacrificial activities.

女子净身仪式大致也就是洗洗澡。少数民族年轻女子害羞，不好意思叫人拍摄，当时有讲解员配合女警察把守路口，只准女人进入拍摄而不许男人进入拍摄，当然也不许观看。

However, in recent years, the village has been renovated and lost its original charm. In front of the village is a small river shaded by green trees, with soft green sphagnum moss floating on the river bed. The ancient trees on the river bank cover the mysterious women's bathing pool.

If you don’t go out and take a look, you really don’t know that “the world is so vast and full of wonders”. Yunnan alone has so many customs that we don’t know about. But you really can’t think about it randomly, respect the name and customs!
