Jours 144~146: Réveillon en tulou, et effet pervers du hongjiu

Jour 144 (12/02/10)

Luxi(芦溪)

Province du Fujian(福建省)

Etant donné la journée crevante d’hier, nous faisons aujourd’hui la grasse matinée. Lorsque nous sortons, les filles du patron de l’hôtel insistent pour nous accompagner, de peur que l’on ne trouve rien: ni où manger, ni quoi voir. Nous réussissons, non sans mal, à nous en débarrasser, pour aller prendre quelques baozi sur une étal du marché encore très animé, puis partons vers le tulou le plus proche.

A woman prays at a small shrine in the courtyard of Luxi Town's Shengwu Tulou (绳武楼), the larger and more recent of the town's two remaining tulou (roughly 120 years old). The building used to house 24 families, but now only two remain. The others have used money sent back from relatives working in China's cities to build their own homes and move out. But since the building is considered to be of historical and cultural value, the families are not allowed to sell their tulou homes, which are now used only as storage spaces. Each tulou includes a central well for communal use.
