想象我们生活在一个母系社会:那里女人才是主宰。土地归女人所有,并由女儿继承。没有婚姻,更没有一夫一妻制。在云南省丽江市泸沽湖畔就有这样一个部落。 By Rose Bolger Imagine living in a matriarchal society where women make the important decisions, own and pass on land to their daughters and do not practice marriage or monogamy. 想象我们生活在一个母系社会:那里女人才是主宰。土地归女人所有,并由女儿继承。没有婚姻,更没有一夫一妻制。 That's what Choo Waihong, a corporate lawyer from Singapore, did for six years, off and on, after building a house among the Mosuo people in Yunnan province. 来自新加坡的企业律师朱伟鸿在云南摩梭部落里安了家,此后6年,她隔三差五地住在那里,就过着这样的生活。 Most curious tourists spend more time getting to the Mosuo's home around Lugu Lake, a 7-9 hour drive from Lijiang, than they spend visiting. But that wasn't enough for Choo. She made it her second home, even becoming the god mother of a young Mosuo girl. 好奇的游客们大多从丽江开车前往泸沽湖的摩梭人家。路上要耗时七到九个小时,比他们参观的时间还长。但是朱伟鸿并不满足于此。她在那里建了第二个家,甚至做了一位摩梭小女孩的教母。 While there have been documentaries and anthropological studies of the Mosuo tribe, no outsider has spent that much time simply being there and observing their lifestyle. |
