There Is a Kind of Life Called Yunnan: Blindly Knowing the Mountains and Rivers

Scholar Lin Wanfeng followed the pioneer's notes of "knowing mountains and rivers with a chopstick, seeing all living beings" and embarked on a five-year journey to learn about Yunnan's flavors. She traveled through the wind-swept Ancient Tea Horse Road, between Bazi and the mountains where flowers bloomed all year round, recording the mellowness of the shepherds under the snow line and the clarity of the Erhai Lake reflected in the moon. She tastes the herbs bred by the bones of the mountains, and traces the blending of civilizations along the bloodline of the river. In the end, at the "Mountain and River Banquet" where thousands of sparks intertwined with holographic light and shadow in Fuxian Lake, she and the guardians of the 26 ethnic groups testified that the true taste of Yunnan life is hidden in every bite of rooted food, every sentimental story, and every choice and protection of diverse "sentient beings". This banquet is an epic on the tip of the tongue, and it is also the answer to the longevity of civilization in the fireworks of the world.
