泰北匆匆之旅

[yuyawei]

趁农历新年前的几天空挡，我和三位朋友到泰北旅游四天。我们的旅游景点主要是看大象、坐大象（本来不想要这个的，但是到了清迈，不看大象就好像整个旅游行程不完整了；结果看了大象、坐了大象，却又后悔极了，这个之后再娓娓道来。）、看长颈族、看poppy。。。我们的四天旅程就是这样的看看看，看完了！

我们是搭亚航到清迈的，从吉隆坡起飞；来回机票只要五百多令吉，在清迈又省吃俭用，因此整个行程是相当便宜的！

接下来就是看照片看文字分享啦！！

长颈族



要看长颈族，要到清莱（Chiangrai）的 Mae-Hong-Son，因为我们的行程实在的太赶，去不成这个地方，因此我们只在清莱的一个我不知名的地方，看这特别的民族。这个地方专为旅客而设的，因此要入门票，每人300Baht。
在这样的地方观看‘人类’，实觉得在造孽！为什么呢？
长颈族的身份挺可怜的；他们在泰国没国际身份，他们是难民！长颈族原籍缅甸，因为国难而潜逃到泰北。
在我们参观的地点，这些长颈族是不可以离开那个地方的，他们的行动范围被限制，每天的活动就是兜售一些纪念品、摆摆匍士让游客拍照。我们这些无知的游客，以为身上有几分钱，就这样的拿着照相机死命的向他们咔嚓咔嚓！！咔嚓咔嚓不久，经导游向我们解释这长颈族的身份与地位，我们的良心终于浮现了，才发现我们把人家当成动物园里的动物一样参观，心里不禁惭愧起来了。。。

每次看到这些人的照片，总有莫名的伤感。
颈项自小就被层层的铁环套牢，永远取不下来，岂不违反了自然？

因为不忍看，也没有留意他们的背景，却原来是无国籍的人民。
悲上加悲。

您不說我還真不知道原來是這麽一回事。

以前不曉得被誰誤導，
告訴我不同族群有不同的審美眼光，
有的覺得耳朵越長越美，有的覺得頸項越長越美,
我還以爲他們是因爲愛美......
他們還真可憐。

下图说明了长颈族的背景。

审美观的确是长耳朵、长颈的因素之一。还有的是左一划、右一划（这是沙特的游牧民族的特色；在脸颊左右各割一划，留下深深的刀痕！其实一点都不美！〕

长颈族之所以长颈，有几个说法 ：
1） 为了避免野兽往颈部攻击。他们在膝盖下方也套上铁环，是为了避免 毒蛇咬那个部位。
2）审美观。
3）据说Padaung 民族在很久以前不是‘长颈’的。只是后来，他们的民族英雄在某年某月的某星期三在战斗中被杀害，因此这英雄的内人下令逢周三出世的女娃娃要套上颈环来做纪念直到他们在战乱中胜利为止。（这个说法好像不能成立，因为都没战了，长颈族还得长颈！而且，现在的Padaung族的女孩，不管在那一天出世都得套上铁环。）
4）为了旅游业！（这个说法在网路上看到的。）

长颈的秘密



噢噢，拍得这么模糊，怎么读？甭虐待您的眼睛，让我大变法，来个清晰的。。。

This drawing is the result of an intensive research, that has been done during a six months' stay with the long-neck people.
Since the researcher speaks the language, required to converse with the giraffewomen, the countless conversations he held with them have led to correct understanding of the effect that the wearing of brass has on their necks.

All existing information, which origin is doubtful, has been disregarded to clear the way to perfect understanding.
The X-ray pictures shown below, originate from a 43 years old giraffewoman, who wears brass for 38 years. These pictures were taken at the hospital of Mae-Hong-Son, attended by the researcher.They have been studied by an orthopedic surgeon in Belgium, to ensure that the description below is correct.
The drawing is divided into two corresponding sides. The left half shows how the vertebrae and ribs are formed by a woman who doesn't wear brass. The right half shows the state of the bones as they develop by a giraffewoman after she has been through all the stadia of winding brass. It's clear that the position of the vertebrae remains intact. Many people claim that they stretch the vertebrae to lengthen their neck, but that's impossible. It would lead to creeping paralysis!! The trick to make the neck look longer than usual is simply achieved by pushing down the ribs.
The left side of the drawing shows that the ribs of a normal human being grow almost horizontal.

The right side shows that the ribs of a giraffewoman hang down almost 45 degrees.
The spirals they war don't rest on the collarbones as often thought, but on the ribs. Their ribs are constantly under pressure, caused by the weight of the brass and the tension between their head and shoulders. Since the ribs are connected to the vertebrae by a hinge joint, they grow down, so that the spiral slides deeper along the ribs. Every time a spiral drops deeper into the shoulders, it becomes too short and loose. Then it is replaced by a new one that is heavier and counts more windings, to push down the ribs with renewed strength. This is the only deformation that occurs and it doesn't cause any damage to the skeleton.

Not only pressing down the ribs gives a visible extension to the neck! The available space that is gained by pushing down the ribs, makes it possible to press the muscles into the shoulders with the help of the spiral, which gives the impression that the neck has been lengthened.
The dotted line on the right side of the drawing is the position of the muscles of a normal woman. The rest of the drawing shows clearly how deep the muscles are pushed-in and how the desired optical length of the neck is obtained. When a giraffewoman removes her spiral, the muscles slowly move up to their normal position. It's clear that the supposed length disappears after a while.
The length of their neck therefore is only an ILLUSION !!!

这女孩的篓篓装的是什么？她在卖些什么呢？来来来，让我们凑前去看看！


天呀！是她12天大的弟弟！

我每天都要这样背着弟弟（可能是妹妹），一边读书、一边给游客拍照，捕捉我们俩的一举一动。。。


我的玩具 -- 活生生的甲虫是也！！

回国过年，看到听到许多已为人父为人母的朋友大谈特谈爸爸经、妈妈经、孩子经；孩子是宝贝，不可以打又不可以骂，要慢慢教！还要目不转睛的盯住，不然孩子会有危险！世界的另一端，孩子是怎么长大的？
