“
The same carbon becomes diamond indestructible
A river of stars at your fingertips
If a coal mine burns itself
Light up the city's lights
The same soil is in the countryside to moisturize the grains
Protect human life
Being in the kiln and experiencing the fire
Condense Chinese civilization
Shanxi runs through ancient and modern times
Endless"
- Dong Yuhui
This is Shanxi.
It is bordered by Taihang in the east, the Yellow River in the west, and Lüliang in the north.
It not only has the loess plateau with thousands of ravines, but also the lush and beautiful scenery.
Underneath this, there are actually ancient villages that have been forgotten...
Yunqiu Mountain, as a geographical indication of China's local culture, has completely preserved an ancient village with a history of more than a thousand years - Talpo.
Here, we feel and listen to the ancient echoes of the ancient village of Talpo.
It may be whispered, or it may be high-pitched...
Of course, this may also be the rhythm of the initial heartbeat of a nation.
Listen | Dialogue between the heart and history
The ancient village of Talpo, which has a history of more than 2,500 years, can be said to be a living fossil of ancient dwellings.
The stones used to build the wall are not only witnesses to historical collections, but also nourish the bloodline of culture.
Returning to the village of Thar is like traveling back in time... Chase and play with your friends in the cave, sleep quietly in the cornfield...
In the evening, I gathered with my friends at the entrance of the village to watch a shadow puppet show...
Those scenes seem to be vividly remembered...
Yes, this is the hometown that I wanted to escape when I was a child, but I missed when I grew up...
The old objects in life in the Jinnan Folk House in Tarpo are all old things that cannot be forgotten.
The old yellow sewing machine in the corner of the table was an old friend of my grandmother's.
Dust it off, as if you can see your grandmother in the dust.
Black and white photographs on the wall, containing memories of the family.
This is where my mother grew up, and it is also where I was held by my grandmother in the yard to bathe when I was a child.
The memories of the older generation, the time they walked together...
There is too much longing flowing with all this.
Hope | The past shakes hands with the future
Speaking of now, today's Talpo has undergone a new upgrade and has become a paradise through time and space.
We wore Hanfu as if we had returned to our favorite dynasty.
Under the idle pavilion, watch the clouds roll and lyricize with poetry...
After watching the Manchu dynasty's literary and martial arts, pen and ink dance, high walls and deep walls, I also learned to be scholars, pick up a pen and write, and the strokes and paintings are full of countless feelings of home and country.
Taste the past and the present, imagine the future.
Product | Folklore and human affection mingle
In Tarpo, you can feel the unique Shanxi folk customs activities.
The wedding performance with local characteristics allows you to feel the enthusiasm of the locals and their hope for a better future.
Kneading buns is also a characteristic of this place.
After a series of rubbing, twisting, rolling, cutting, pinching, one by one lifelike patterns are vividly conjured out of the hand, each of whom is pinched differently, and all carry different feelings.
Deng Yunxiang wrote in "Yunxiang Talk" -
"We must not forget our ancestors and ignore these ancient customs, but cherish them as they deserve."
In addition to pinching flower buns, shadow puppetry, iron art...
These local folklore of Yunqiu Mountain exudes vitality thousands of years later.

Probe | Culture meets village
The vitality of culture lies in taking root in life.
As early as the early Yuan Dynasty, Taoist priests preached Taoist culture in Tarpo, and villagers would also bridge it through daily life behaviors such as sacrifice, water conservancy, and gathering, thus forming a unique "cultural network" in Tarpo.
Go to Sui Huai Square to hang a blessing belt, pick up the pen is to write ordinary, write a complete message and wishes - may the gold list be inscribed, may the smooth and healthy.
Line | Poetry meets distant places
We keep running on the road of life, why not look back and see the blue water, the cottages, and the misty green smoke...
Enjoy the warm sun by the stream, feel the tranquility of the village in the smoke...
Pursue the life you want in Talpo, don't come unharmed.
