In the mountains of Enshi Grand Canyon, there is such a primitive means of transportation. Used together with modern cars, ropeways and elevators, it is an important member of tourist traffic in deep mountains or mountain scenic spots. It is a stretcher tied with two strong long bamboo poles, and the shelf in the middle is made of bamboo chips or rattan. It's not expensive, but it's very practical. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient working people, and it is a sliding bar. The slider, also known as the canyon taxi by canyon people, is actually a kind of sedan chair. Ski is a unique traditional means of transportation that people ride in the southwest mountainous area of China.
There are two explanations for the name of "sliding pole": one is tied with slippery bamboo poles; There is another saying: it is light and fast, and it slides fast, so it is called sliding pole. Both statements make sense.
The master who lifts the sliding bar is called a sedan chair bearer. They carry the burden of life with their flesh and blood, and go to their destination step by step. When lifting the slide bar, the sight of the bearers in the back will be blocked by the recliner, and the bearers in front must send messages to inform the situation on the road. This is called giving an idea, or shouting a song. For example, the road ahead is very straight, the person in front will say "the road is a line", and the person behind will respond "You can shoot an arrow if you run so fast." There is cow dung on the road. The man in front said, "A flower in the sky", and the man behind replied, "Cow dung is underground." Wait a minute. Say what you see, cheer you up and encourage your work. Lively and funny, it has the same effect as the boatman's song. Their loud and powerful shouts not only reminded their companions of the road conditions, but also reminded the tourists ahead to make way, and even shouted their own momentum. It is easy for tourists with insufficient physical strength to visit Enshi Grand Canyon by taking the slide bar, and the slide bar master also gets the labor remuneration for survival. This is the sedan chair of the Grand Canyon. They safely send tourists from all corners of the country to the agreed destination in the sunny weather, and they themselves have become a beautiful scenery of the Grand Canyon.
The porter is not carrying a pole on his shoulder, but the food and clothing of his family. There is a saying in a jingle: you can make a living by relying on strength for nothing. As long as you are happy, you can invite experts in skating everywhere. Come and go in a hurry, panting, carrying tourists up the ladder, the scenery in front of you is flat, and the mountains are difficult to fill the stomach.
