"The Xiaoliang Mountain Poets Group" is a poetry group named after the region.It refers to the poets who are actively involved in the Xiaoliang Mountain area in the Northwest of Yunnan Province.The Xiaoliang Mountain district is a relative region of the Daliang Mountain in Sichuan Province,and it administratively belongs to the Ninglang Yi Autonomous County in Yunnan Province.This county is comparatively independent of the other regions,and it contains a large number of ethnic groups with distinct cultural characteristics.Among all the ethnic groups,the "walking marriage" culture between the Mosuo clan(Naxi minority group)and the Pumi clan is particularly exclusive.The poetry of the Xiaoliang Mountain poets has its unique characteristics in its contents.First,they have a passion for writing about local rituals and traditional cultures.Writing objects vary from the natural scenery represented by Lugu Lake and Jinsha River,the alpine crops represented by buckwheats and potatoes,and the indigenous cultures represented by myths and epics.Their poems obtain many of the local customs.Secondly,deeply influenced by the unique ethnic culture and female culture,the Xiaoliang Mountain poets are good at writing about love,and their love poems occupy a significant part of all types of poetries.Since the "walking marriage" culture is still prevalent in this area,some of the poets in the region are engaged in such a unique marriage tradition.Therefore,a portion of their love poems is dedicated to their "walking marriage" experience.Poets in this region like to use orchids as a metaphor for love.The use of such a metaphor is proof of the indigenous knowledge of the mountain tribes.It is also evidence of the tradition of Bixing established by the "Book of Songs" in China.Thirdly,the Xiaoliang Mountain poets use their poems to reflect some common spiritual and psychological dimensions within the group.They write a lot about their hometown and homeland,which shows their enthusiasm for protecting their native land.There is a clear ecological consciousness embodied in the group's poems;they yearned for modern civilization and modern life,but on the otherhand,they criticize the negative impact of modern civilization on the countryside from a local standpoint.
