Korean documentary on the caravan trade in Tibetan ponies for Chinese tea

Delamu (simplified Chinese: 茶马古道：德拉姆; traditional Chinese: 茶馬古道：德拉姆; pinyin: Cha ma gudao: de la mu) is an award winning 2004 documentary film directed by the acclaimed Fifth Generation Chinese filmmaker, Tian Zhuangzhuang. Delamu documents the people living in the Nujiang River Valley, along the Tea Horse Road, an ancient trade route between China's Yunnan province and Tibet. The film was jointly produced by companies in the People's Republic of China, and Japan. It had its American premier at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.

A wonderful record of a disappearing tradition. The English sub-titles could use a few corrections. Those are all mules, not horses. And "Mount Mary" is sacred Kawa Karpo, which is called Meili in Chinese.

Actually the korean commentator says horse in korean: "Mal' which is a borrowed word from the chinese also for horse. There is a different word for mule 'Nosae' but they're not using it. They must have some reason even though those beautiful animals are mules.

I did a three-month fieldwork in tibet at 2016. Compared with the situation in the documentary, their lives improved a lot.

[@AngelicStormz]

It would be great to have introduced the Monpa, these were those who walked miles upon miles in the TEA TRADE.

@Fletcher Brown because it is a Korean that told the story.

the Chinese subtitle for MA GUO TOU should be 马锅头 （a profession), not 马国途（a name)

[@birendrabista4597]

I don't see any ponies...I see mules

[@bestlola7460]

genius n amazing,

[@ramtom9882]

Barter is the best way of business, I think. Swapping things both parties need. It won't work in the so-called civilised world, of course, where capitalism is the king and we are the silent mules.
