For over 700 years history, through Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the naxi family of Mu (木)had always been the local magistrate of Lijiang, a position that could be inherited by generations. the surname of Mu (木) was granted by the fist emperor of Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, coming from his royal family name Zhu(朱), which showed the great appreciation and trust of the central government of Han. The Mu were wise, open-minded to learn the culture, language and technology from the Han people (the majority Chinese in central china). They preserved well their own culture and Dongba religion, meanwhile encouraged other religions as Taoism, Buddhism and Lamaism to develop in Lijiang. That’s why the city became multicultural with incredible thriving history. Well-known to be intelligent, elegant-mannered and honorable men, the Mu were regarded as the Heavenly King for their general attitude to the world, standing out among the group of Southwest chieftains.
The Mu built their palatial residence in the south of Lijiang old city, a group of houses along the Lion Hill. It faced the east, not the south according to Han people’s Fengshui theory, implied the meaning of thriving and prosperous in the sun, obviously an adoration of the Sun in Dongba religion. The location was a perfect harmony of Taiji, enjoying the masculine sight of Lion Hill and gentle feminine temperament of Jade River, with the dragon (snow mountain) on the left, the tiger (hill) on the right. The palace combined the styles of Naxi, Bai, Tibetan and Han architecture. The exquisite paintings and cared patterns on the doors & windows displayed the Naxi’s extraordinary talents in architecture. Unfortunately, Mu’s residence was destroyed during Cultural Revolution and a huge earthquake in 1996. What we see now is the houses rebuilt in 1999, about 17,333 square meters with 400-meter long axis line, only half size of the original. After paying 60rmb ticket, Mr.T and I walked inside and got shocked: OMG! The palace looked like brand new! We got a little disappointed by these shining houses, too, apparently a mini-copy of Han’s Palace in the Forbidden City. There’s not much characteristics of Naxi style, actually.

来了,先杀上
不得不承认, 乃真是神速。。。 :evil
看到这些玩意总有点把火的冲动呢
李必发的破坏欲不是一般地强。。。 😉
呼〜终于打开了。偶滴杀花 :((
手机看果然不过瘾呢。
先站位 回家再看咯 :O)
木府风云 哈哈,是不是这个木王府?
是滴…莫非Leyang看过这剧,好看不? O:-)
:-O 不好看,千万莫看,一个标准的拖泥带水的电视剧
如今的国产影视剧啊,真是没什么看头 [-(
门雕的好精致~~~
虎皮椅还算是有点特色呢
远景不错嘿 :O) :O)
跟姐姐一样 喜欢回眸一照 :)) :))
其实是大头目喜欢搞这种回眸,比较自然,不然僵硬得很 =))
的确是和汉建筑一样 体现不出当地风俗风情
要是古建筑也就算了,偏偏又新得很。。。 L-)
比较钟情于古色古香的庭院,对于其他的没有太大感觉!
对美铝也没赶脚么。。。。 =))
不知道 岚女 穿上 纳西百褶裙 是什么模样啊!待见证! 😀
也就那样了,估计好看不到哪儿去。。。 =))
以前去过一次,感觉真的挺好的
现在旅游景点很多都一个样,大都是重建的,型式有都差不多。
是啊,真正的古迹少多了。。。 ;;)
路过,留爪~
你怎么不穿褶裙来一张? 😉
人家姑娘已经穿好了,咱就不献丑了。。。 :))
雅岚的生活真是惬意,羡慕!
好恢弘的王府
本来我还不好奇的,看到18P把那姑娘给模糊掉了,我表示很好奇啊。。。
旁边那俩穿的不是纳西服装,前几篇就发过了。。。 🙂
最后几片俯瞰的感觉很好
居高临下的感觉总是很好的。。。。 =))
最后一张,终于见博主了 😡
什么“”终于” :evil 丽江这9篇除了第二文没有本博主,其他8篇都有
这地方风水好啊,实在是想穿越一把 =))
乃可去故宫、天坛之类的搞搞穿越。。。 :))
在一个夜深,月黑风高的夜晚;我穿着夜行衣。。。
直奔紫禁之巅,与锦衣卫大战三百回合。。。 =))
回到明朝当王爷~~ O:-)
天天旅游,好爽! 😡 …..我也要旅游 :blush
这地。。要好好保护~~
丽江古城是国内最早一批世界文化遗产 🙂 不出意外的话,持续几百年应该没问题
喜欢旅行却没有机会的偶,只能来岚女这里充实一下纳西族的风情和文化了。 :O)
有空就去四周逛逛嘛,乃们广西风景还是不错滴。。 O:-)
广西的山和水也就那样。看腻了。 🙂
很美的地方啊 山水总不会千篇一律的
J叔胸怀大志 B-) 做梦都想骑行进藏来着
:O) 梦想总是遥不可及, 不过还是要做做梦。 =))
把身体锻炼好了,有生之年去一去 😀
其实我家后的那山和桂林的没啥区别… =))
很美丽的风景,有机会一定得去走走
呵呵,又一个仿古景点 😀
若不是有俯瞰古城的好处,60元就真的打水漂了呢 😀
干嘛把人家胖姑凉给P掉……
谁让她不穿纳西服装….. 😉
最后一张亮了。
一点儿也不亮,暗得很。。。 =))
上面的那几张,为什么和我去的沈阳故宫那么那么像….看来天下都是一个样….
木氏效忠于中原皇权+推崇汉文化,王府建成这样也不足为奇 B-)
那虎椅有没有上去试下是否真的呀? 😀
不能试,要被罚款滴,小飞飞。。。。 😉
郁闷,,好不容易抽空上来透气,,全是岚姐和飞猪四处游的景象。。。苦命的我还在每天3小时公交赶往公司画图啊 :((
悲摧的,一年到头你就没个假期么。。。 :-O
每月的周六周日偶尔能休息下,时间之短,哪可能到处游呢?
😀 就去成都附近绕绕嘛。。。
还是很气派的 😀 😀
只是翻新了,没了沧桑感。
