勐腊,位于中国与老挝、缅甸的交界处,是云南省西双版纳傣族自治州最南端的一个县。在这个长久封闭的社区里,岁月的更迭使各有特色的文化在慢慢积淀或消失。面临祖辈的遗传与外来的事物,人们的新旧得失、人们的创造和抉择、人们的思维与生活,都在悄悄地发生变化。 有一个叫做“会边”的僾尼山寨,就是这种变化的缩影。 Mengla, located at the junction of China and Laos and Myanmar, is the southernmost county in Yunnan’s Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture. In this long-term closed community, the changing years make different cultures slowly accumulate or disappear. Faced with the ancestral heritage and foreign things, people’s new and old gains and losses, people’s creation and choice, people’s thinking and life, are quietly changing. There is a Zuni village called “meeting side”, a microcosm of this change.
