Different
from the Dai bamboo houses in Xishuangbanna in the south of Yunnan,
most of the residences in Binlangyuan are earthen houses, similar to those of the
Yi people in Chengzicun of Luxi County. Each year, the Flowery Dai hold several
sacrificial ceremonies (presided over by “Wo Se”, the priests) for deities of mountains,
plants, and water etc. They have kept traditional ways for making black sugar from
sugarcanes by milling. Bamboo wares made in this village also enjoy a massive
popularity.
