在巍巍哀牢山环抱中，红河中流南岸的一座山梁上，屹立着一座马背上驮出的城市——迤萨。迤萨镇是 位于云南省红河哈尼族彝族自治州红河县的马帮古城和重点侨乡，因地处滇南边陲的红河江外，故 有"滇南侨乡""江外侨乡"之称。 迤萨，是彝族卜拉语"干旱缺水"的意思。当地有民谣：高高山岗是故乡，左有河来右有江，山高难把五 谷出，水大难作救命汤。这样一片偏远贫瘠的土地，有一段鲜为人知的辉煌历史。百余年前，伴随着马 帮的驼铃声，迤萨人开辟出11条通往东南亚的跨国贸易商道，创造了迤萨在乱世中快速发展的奇迹，书 写了无数感人肺腑的故事，形成了蜚声海内外的马帮文化和独具特色的侨乡文化。 靠着敢为人先、爱拼敢闯的精神，一代代迤萨人踏着石板上的马蹄印，走出大山，走向世界。据不完全 统计，红河县现有在外华侨华人和港澳同胞1万余人，侨居在22个国家和地区；县内有归侨侨眷和港澳 同胞眷属近万人，其中迤萨镇归侨侨眷占总数的75%。 今天，在迤萨镇，恢弘大气的"东门楼及迤萨民居"静静伫立，中西合璧的古建筑群和随处可见的马帮遗 迹，向来者诉说着那段筚路蓝缕、可歌可泣的峥嵘岁月。迤萨历史上何以兴起马帮文化和侨乡文化？如 今又将如何擦亮马帮文化和侨乡文化 ...
