Then, come with me to see the Bai culture!
In Dali and Eryuan areas, the most common folk houses of Bai farmers are Sanfang and Zhaobi. The painting and decoration of zhaobi are in the most important and prominent central position in residential buildings. Zhaobi is located in front of the main room, facing the main room, showing a symmetrical "convex" shape with a high middle and low sides. The top of the wall is covered with blue bricks, and the corner is slightly inclined. The whole zhaobi is based on lime-painted white, and the lower part of the eaves and the left and right sides of the wall are framed into rectangular, circular or fan-shaped picture frames, which are alternately connected. Draw auspicious birds and beasts, flowers, birds, insects and fish, landscape figures, pines, bamboos and orchids in the box with colored ink or light ink, and write famous sayings in Tang poetry and Song poetry. From a distance, it looks like adding a lace to the zhaobi. According to the center of the wall, or inlaid with a round of colored flowers or black and white marble, or written with a big word "Fu", while others engraved four big black words, black and white, glowing, greatly increasing the color of the courtyard.
The contents of the four Chinese characters can be roughly divided into three categories:

There is also a kind of classics, which is the most exquisite. Allusions should be related to the owner's surname, and the things in allusions should be praised and proud of the surname.

"Purple gas from the east" refers to the old Gigi Lai. According to legend, at the end of the Zhou Dynasty, Lao Zi rode a green ox westward to Hangu Pass. Seeing that Lao Zi was purple, the general guarding the pass guessed that this man was extraordinary and received him warmly. Because of Yin's thoughtful service and humble attitude, Lao Tzu thought this son could be taught, so he taught him the Tao Te Ching with five thousand words.
"Zhangjiang" in "The Sound of Zhangjiang Family" is the layout facility of Ma Rong, a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ma Rong, a native of Maoling, was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty said that he was "brilliant, knowledgeable, learned Confucianism for the world, and educated many students, often thousands". Ma Rong is a "willful student, regardless of Confucian festivals, often sitting in a high hall, making curtains, teaching students before and entertaining women afterwards."
"Lianxi" in "Lianxi Poetry" refers to Zhou Dunyi, a philosopher in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhou Dunyi, a native of Daozhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, was named "Mr. Lianxi", the founder of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, and the world-famous "Love Lotus Theory" was written by Mr. Zhou.
