Description

This report describes the main cultivated plants (rice, tea and spice) and the eating customs of the Dai nation and the Hani nation in Xishuangbanna of Yunnan, China. The Dai people have traditionally cultivated and eaten purplish sticky rice everyday. The Hani people still make tea using leaves from wild tea trees growing around their residences on the mountain sides. It seems that the Japanese dishes of red-sticky rice with small red beans (SEKI HAN), sticky rice cakes with bamboo leaves (CHIMAKI), bean cakes (TOFU), dry sweet persimmons (HOSHIGAKI), and green tea (RYOKUCHA), all originated from Yunnan, China. Recently the Dai and Hani nations in Yunnan have been changing very dramatically because they have introduced the cultivations of new hybrid rice, along with the cultivation of para rubber trees, water-melons and chili peppers. As a result of the great increase in their incomes, the farmers of the Dai nation have recently been enjoying a varied menu, enlivened with many spices. Their traditional style houses of one roof have recently come to surrounded by a strong earthen fence, instead of the traditional bamboo fence for protection. In Yunnan villages we can see many such practical evidences of modernization caused by the revolution in life systems.
