Flowing through Yunnan' s southern valleys, the once angry rivers are now swollen, their waters slow and warm. These fertile lowland valleys are the home of the Dai. The " People of the Water" live along streams which originate in the surrounding hills. Each family keeps a kitchen garden modelled on the multilayered structure of the surrounding forests, which the Dai hold sacred. The gardens are made more productive by interplanting different crops. Tall, sunloving species give shelter to plants which thrive in the shade. As companions, the plants grow better. |
