For thousands of years, a riddle poem has been passed down from generation to generation by the local Bai people, which has made Dali familiar to all ages.
The poem says:
A bird (wind) is not seen when a worm enters a phoenix's nest.
Seven people have grass (flowers) on their heads;
It is raining in Mao Mao on Hengshan Mountain (snow).
Half a friend is missing (month).
1962 1 month, after the famous writer Cao Jinghua traveled all over Dali, he was deeply moved by the wind, flowers, snow and moon in Dali, leaving a romantic poem:
"XiaGuan wind, Shangguan flower, XiaGuan wind blowing on the crown;
Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines on Cangshan snow. "
The poem is novel in conception, neat in antithesis, and points out four scenes and their connections, which makes people think deeply.
