Here, there is a shocking Miaoling night.
Here, there are rings and jingles, singing and dancing, full of summer night fragrance and hot singing and dancing~
Here, there are a variety of unique Miao cuisine.
Here, there is a long-standing nation that fled to the world for thousands of years after the Great War between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, and the unique architecture has left a long time.
Here, there are beautiful Miao girls who are as beautiful as flowers, enthusiastic as fire, dare to love and hate, and are surrounded by beautiful Miao girls.
Here, there are foggy mountains, stacked wooden buildings, and high Miao Ling.
Please follow my footsteps, walk into Guizhou Leishan, walk into Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, and walk into the ancient customs that have stretched for thousands of years~
The stunning Miaoling night, the lights from the foot of the mountain to the sky
In Guizhou, the scenic spots seem to be centered on Guiyang City and distributed around. Therefore, when traveling, I feel like sitting in the car and going around Guiyang all the time.
On that day, it was dark, and on the mountain road in Guizhou, there were no cities and people on both sides of the road, and there were no lights. There was a black hole outside the car window, and I didn't know where I went. It just felt like I had climbed to the top of a mountain.
Turning a corner, all of a sudden, it was as if the black curtain had been pulled open, and the lights suddenly lit up outside the car window.
The light was like a wall of lamps that stood above the sky, from the zenith to the foot of the mountain.
Originally, I walked in the dark night for a long time, but the lights of thousands of homes suddenly lit up made everyone exclaim in surprise!
The car circled down the mountain road, and you could clearly see that the lights were the lights of countless houses built on the hillside, layer upon layer. Because they are all built on the slopes of the mountain, you can see the lights of countless houses from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain as the mountain rises. How many people have to be here~
Moreover, this cottage is hidden in the valley behind a whole mountain. On the other side of the mountain is almost a barren mountain, who would have thought that the back of the mountain would hide such a large number of people!
Xijiang Thousand Miao Village, just like this, appeared gorgeously and appeared in front of him shockingly.
The duel of the Yellow Emperor has been incognito for thousands of years in the high Miao Mountains
Circling all the way from the sea of lights connecting the sky and the earth, down to the bottom of the valley, and finally came to Miao Village.
At that time, it was already night, and Miao Village was already lit up by thousands of homes. But there is still a constant stream of tourists entering.
We stayed in the wooden building B&B outside the Miao Village, and there were no people on the street. On the opposite side of the wooden building is a black mountain, which is like a screen that blocks the view.
Walk along the small river at the foot of the mountain for less than 100 meters, turn the corner of the mountain of more than 180 degrees, and the lights of the entire Miao Village and Wanjia will be overwhelmingly displayed in front of you.
With this kind of terrain, even if you walk to the front of the mountain from outside the mountain, you can't find such a big cottage hidden behind the valley.
It is said that after the defeat of the Yellow Emperor, the Miao family in Guizhou led his troops to flee here.
It can be imagined how hard it took the ancestors of the Miao family to find such a hidden valley that is inaccessible~
Now, the whole Miao Village is brilliantly lit and full of people, and it is a peaceful and prosperous neighborhood.
Although it is a cottage, the lights of thousands of homes and the lighting design make the whole cottage brightly lit and illuminate the entire valley.
Miao Ling Song sings and dances with Miao girls in the lights of thousands of homes
Loading...
The Thousand Miao Village at night is as lively as the old town of Lijiang.
There are countless bars and restaurants lining both sides of the river. If you walk into a house, you can sit by the window and watch the scenery. In many bars along the river, there are Miao girls wearing silver jewelry and costumes, leading tourists to sing together in the rhythm of music.
The Miao people sing high-pitched, bright voices, and bright rhythms. In the silence of such a night, it came far away.
Tourists from Tiannan and Haibei, who have never known each other, left their shyness and restraint in that lively atmosphere, and unconsciously joined in, singing and dancing with the rhythm under the cheerful music. The movements of the dance are not complicated, and you can basically just jump to the rhythm. So, all the people are on the beat, jumping and laughing.
We were walking across the river when we heard cheerful singing in the distance. Looking across the river, I saw the joy of singing and dancing. Time was limited, so I wanted to wait until I was done shopping elsewhere and come back to dance. As a result, after a turn, I came back too late, and the dance hall was dispersed~
The singing is passionate, the dance steps are cheerful, and the night of Miaoling is intoxicating
The Miao singing voice is cheerful and high-pitched, and the Miao girls dressed in traditional costumes are covered with glittering silver ornaments and sparkling silver ornaments all over their bodies, which rattle with the dance steps.
The cheerful dance steps that are bright and easy to learn make visitors join in and sing and dance along with the rhythmic music, making the whole night full of joyful atmosphere.
Among the Han people, people are more reserved. Dance is generally used for performance. In gatherings and plays, it is rare to see the situation of dancing in the excitement. Among ethnic minorities, dancing and singing are life, a way to express emotions and express emotions. In daily life, anytime, anywhere, whether happy or sad, you can open your mouth and sing~
In this Miao Village, far away from daily life and deep in the mountains, tourists from all over the world gather together because of music in the bars by the beautiful river in this brightly lit night.
In this kind of occasion, there is no need to know each other, and the more you face strangers, the more you can let go. With the passionate music, driven by the beautiful Miao girl, forget the tediousness of life, forget the daily life, and the tourists all dance with the music.
The rousing singing pierced the night sky and was heard far away. The noisy laughter led to the whole street full of joy~
At night, all kinds of lights in the entire Miao Village reflect the night sky of Miao Village brilliantly and warmly~
Ah, what an intoxicating night~
Miao's snacks, that night full of fireworks, incense and heat
The night in Miao Village is quiet and lively. For those who go out to travel, Datong Xiaoyi souvenirs don't have to be bought, but steaming local snacks can be the most direct experience of local customs.
Miao Village has set up a snack street, and all kinds of unnamed snacks on a street are steaming and dazzling.
This ready-to-eat snack is very cheap, no more than 20 yuan per serving.
Like Miaojia bacon, it is not cheap to talk about, and it is still heavy to carry. At the night market, the bacon is cut into slices and skewered on a bamboo skewer for 15 yuan per string. Everyone ate with relish.
I bought a lot of food that I had never seen before, and I bought it to try it. In this fiery atmosphere, shopping while eating and traveling does include playing and eating. While walking, watching and eating, everyone was in high spirits. Laughter everywhere, this happy night~
Guizhou's snacks are sour and salty. The sauce is rich and delicious. After all, Lao Gan Ma's flavor hot sauce, which is sold all over the world, is produced in Guizhou Province.
Walk and watch and eat on the snack street, and eat yourself and watch others eat. In this smoky, steaming night market, watching others bustling, rubbing shoulders, laughing and noisy, eating sweet, bitter and happy, you are also easily infected.
I made an appointment with my partner to choose our favorite snacks and try each other's tastes when we bought one.
In this way, you can spend 1 serving and taste more delicious snacks. Moreover, every time you taste it, you don't eat much, and you're not afraid of getting fat~
In fact, if these snacks are in their hometown, or in their daily life, everyone may not buy and eat them.
But traveling is all about shopping, eating, shopping, eating
One night, in this Miao village full of ethnic customs, the oily wooden buildings under the lights, and the enthusiastic and cheerful Miao people, it is really easy to be infected. Walking, watching, shopping and eating, only then can there be a joyful atmosphere and full of interest~
Walk into the vicissitudes of the millennium of Miao Village
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is said to be the largest Miao gathering area in China, consisting of 9 Miao villages, where the Miao King is located.
The whole Miao village is backed by a high mountain, and the north side of the mountain is a desolation. To the south of the mountain, villages and fields spread out all the way.
It can be seen that the walled gate has been hundreds of years, is a typical wooden gatehouse in China, how many generations of brush tung oil and wind and rain erosion, so that the quaint walled gate has a more dignified and warm.
Regardless of the size of the village, dragon and phoenix patterns are common on the mountain gate posts. The oily luster speaks of the long years in a wordless way. We have witnessed the joys and sorrows of many generations here, and we are just passing by~
The door is not big, but it blocks everything in the village, mysterious and distant.
Standing in front of the walled gate, it seems that as long as you step into this walled gate, you can walk into the thousands of years of vicissitudes of life in Miao Village~
And this ancient people, whose ancestors have grown up in Zizi for generations, still has a lot of mystery and curiosity to the outside world.
Like many novels, especially in the previous Hong Kong martial arts novels, contemporary fantasy novels, etc., there are many descriptions of Miao Township.
Like witch cups, cockroaches, and all kinds of unheard of insects and ants in martial arts use poison...... Wait, is that true or fake?
Now that I have arrived in Miao Township, I actually want to find out about the locals. But it does not seem appropriate to ask strangers who are not familiar with them about the secrets of other peoples. And the secrecy of the nation, for tourists from other places, the average locals will not say.
Tour guides who are familiar with the local situation, because these contents belong to feudal superstition and the like, out of the idea of promoting the main theme and anti-feudal superstition, they are secretive and silent. Therefore, it is impossible to know.
But according to experience, legends and hearsay, many of them are based on facts, and they are deepened or disseminated. But I went there and learned nothing. There are still some slight regrets.
The spacious and exquisite Miao Village Wind and Rain Bridge, looking at the railing, the green mountains are faint, the green willows are still around, and the scenery is picturesque
The ethnic minority villages in the southwest seem to have wind and rain bridges in every village.
On the Baishui River, which flows through the village, a wooden bridge with a roof is built with a traditional Chinese mortise and tenon structure, on the one hand, for the convenience of transportation, and on the other hand, this exquisite building with carved beams and smooth on all sides has the function of storing air and shielding from wind and rain. It is also a good place for villagers to watch the mountains and rivers, stop to rest, and gather and communicate.
There are seven or nine wind and rain bridges on the small river in Miao Village, and the first wind and rain bridge is the largest.
The tall pillars are beautifully carved and the bridge deck is wide and bright, just like the most exquisite and grand building in the village.
In the middle of the bridge is a driveway, with wide sidewalks on both sides, wooden fences and couches on guardrails, making it look like a large open conference room.
Sitting on the wind and rain bridge and looking at the scenery is like sitting in the leaky window in the Jiangnan garden, one step at a time.
Miao Township is rainy and wet everywhere. Sitting on this wind and rain bridge, looking at the turquoise river, the swaying green trees, and the impetuous heart, I unconsciously calmed down.
Slow down, don't say anything, just look at the beautiful scenery of the rivers and mountains, and you have to be cool for a day~
Looking at Miao Township through the bridge railing, the carved door holes show a picturesque Miao Township beauty.
The Wind and Rain Bridge also plays an important role in daily life, with Bridge 1 often used as the starting point for important celebrations, and Bridge 4 said to be the place of rest after the death of the Miao people. It was a haunt of bad luck and ghosts, and the local guide advised us not to go to Bridge 4 at night.
The wind and rain bridge also has a defensive role, Miao Village was originally only built on the sunny side of the hillside, and the Baishui River is equivalent to the moat of Miao Village.
In ancient times, there were only two wind and rain bridges, and when the foreign enemy invaded, the wind and rain bridge was burned, and the foreign enemy could not attack the village~
There are backrests built on the wind and rain bridges, sitting on the wooden bridge and looking at the railing, different bridge holes show different beautiful scenery, like the window viewing effect in the Suzhou garden.
The No. 1 wind and rain bridge is very large, the bridge pillars are thick, and the bridge height is large and bright like a tall conference hall. The bridge railing is exquisite, and there are beauties along the river, and you can also see the bear thick heritage of this ancient Miao village.
Miao Township is rainy. This wind and rain bridge is not only a passage to and fro, but also a place to escape the wind and rain to meet and communicate.
When visiting, there is nothing to do, sitting on this wind and rain bridge, looking at the Miao Village, even if it is silent, it is also leisure in life~
If it's so beautiful, how can you not be proud and confident
Xijiang Thousand Miao Village is said to be composed of eight or nine Miao villages, and Miao King is here. Miao Village is built on the mountain, and the layers of wooden houses are built from the small river at the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The village is full of all kinds of two- and three-story wooden buildings, and the scenery in your eyes is the ordinary daily life of local residents.
The streets between the wooden buildings are paved with stone slabs and cobblestones, and there is a smell of the ancient roads of Gangnam, so it can be seen that the age of construction is very long.
Miao Village has a subtropical climate, very humid and rainy. In the wet rain, the thousand-story wooden buildings show a warm and simple atmosphere.
On the side of the Baishui River, there is a stone tablet with the question of Yu Qiuyu: answer everything with beauty.
Haha, this ancient Miao village is worthy of this pride~
The silver light is shining, the rings are ding, the skirt is fluttering, who is not a small public move in Miao Village~
Miao village is rich in Miao silver. There are many silver mines in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and all ethnic minorities like to wear silver jewelry, but the amount of silver is not known.
It is said that when the Miao family was born to their daughter, their parents prepared several pieces of silver jewelry for her every year, and when their daughter got married, they wore a full set of silver jewelry, which was not only a dowry for the daughter, but also a symbol of the wealth of the woman's family.
This full set of Miao Yin, wearing it for daily life and labor, is definitely not convenient. That is, for the needs of tourism, generally in the festival, Miao girls will wear a full set of silver jewelry to attend.
Now for the sake of tourism, Miao Village organizes Miao song and dance performances every day at the specified time. The Miao girl in full makeup can be seen every day.
There are also many Miao clothes for rent in Miao Village, you can rent a complete set of finely embroidered Miao skirts for 1 hour for 100 yuan, and wear gorgeous silver jewelry with tinkling bells all over the body to wander around the street to take pictures, which is a popular travel photo project for many girls.
In the Silver Jewelry Pavilion, there is also a huge Miao Silver Headdress exhibit with a diameter of 1 meter, which is exquisite and gorgeous, and the silver is shining. The exquisite craftsmanship and intricate traditional ornamentation are amazing.
This shining silver ring bell satisfies the girlish hearts of many women~ haha
However, unless a grand group activity is held, young Miao girls wearing Miao costumes are rarely seen in the Miao village every day. I don't know if the young girl is hidden in the boudoir, or if she has gone to work in the field? Anyway, all the aunts I saw on the wind and rain bridge were wearing Miao silver costumes. Although I'm a woman, I also like to watch beautiful girls~
Of course, there are also young girls in Miao Village dressed in full Miao silver costumes. Most of them are rented by foreign tourists for posing photos.
In the second chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Baoyu's argument is said from the mouth of others: "Daughters are flesh and bones made of water, and men are flesh and bones made of mud." When I saw my daughter, I felt refreshed, but when I saw a man, I felt turbid and smelly. ”
In the fifty-ninth chapter of "A Dream of Red Mansions", Cao Xueqin said through the mouth of Chunyan and Jia Baoyu: "A girl is a priceless jewel before she gets married; Although it is a bead, it has no brilliance, it is a dead pearl, and no matter how old it is, it is not a bead, but a fish's eye. ”
The years are really a murder knife. What woman doesn't want to stay young forever, the water is fresh, bright and bright.
But in reality, after a woman gets married, the hardships of life, the hardships of life, and no matter how beautiful and beautiful a woman is, she will often become rough, even fierce, with a thick waist and a strong body, and she will be unrecognizable......
Don't say that men like beautiful girls, even we women also like slender and beautiful, lively and beautiful girls.
Of course, in this beautiful Xijiang River, the original Miao Village, it is also a beautiful experience to rent a set of traditional Miao clothes and wear gorgeous silver jewelry for a small amount of money. The whole set of silver jewelry is not very heavy, and I feel that this Miao silver is likely to be white copper with silver. Otherwise, the cost of using silver in large quantities would be too high.
But dressed in Miao clothes and wearing a ring, who doesn't feel that he is also a little public act, which girl can not like it~
The ring is tinkling, and the jubilant singing and dancing feast in the Miao village
Thousands of Miao villages will hold a square song and dance performance at a specified time every day, and dozens of local people wear Miao costumes full of silver ornaments, form a circle in the only circular square of Miao Village, and sing and dance around the field.
We saw twenty or thirty Miao women dressed in full sets of silver ornaments on the Fengyu Bridge, as well as Miao men holding reed sheng, the performers were all forty or fifty years old, and it can be seen that they were all surplus laborers in the village, in order to stimulate tourism.
It may only be during major performances that young actors will be called on the stage.
In fact, this kind of performance singing and dancing can be seen in many places, and it does not make the atmosphere more enthusiastic. What tourists really like is that they can participate in it and dance and sing together under the drive of the local people, so that there is a cheerful atmosphere.
I remember that when Dongfang selected thousands of Miao villages, Dong Yuhui once held a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, walked into the circle dancing team, and sent flowers to the Miao girls who sang and danced one by one.
When he sent it to one of the most beautiful Miao girls in the singing and dancing group, he gave all the remaining flowers in his hand to the girl in full makeup.
Everyone has a love for beauty, in this beautiful distance, meet such a beautiful girl in the local area, who can not sing......
The mountains of Wulan, the green mountains are faint, and the weather is thousands of thousands of Miao villages
At the No. 1 scenic bridgehead, there is a special sightseeing car, which can send tourists to the observation deck at the highest point of Miao Village, and look down on the entire Miao Village from a high place.
It can be seen that Miao Village was built in a ravine, and the houses of the cottage were all built on the sunny side of the mountain against which it was back.
The slope of the sunny side of the hill is gentle, and the bamboo buildings are built layer upon layer along the mountain, which is built according to the hillside, which just makes the house in a ladder-like construction, so that each house can be lit to the sun, which is conducive to the local rainy and humid houses to prevent moisture.
The back of the hillside is completely shaded and steep and difficult to navigate, which happens to be a natural barrier to protect the cottage.
Along the hillside, eight or nine Miao villages are mixed together, all with layers of roofs.
The Baishui River runs through the village and flows along the valley into the distance.
In this all-mountainous village, it is conceivable that farming is difficult and the products are not very abundant.
In those long years when transportation was inconvenient, although it was convenient to escape the war, it was indeed blocked by traffic and difficult to reach, so the economy was not developed.
In recent years, tourism has risen, and it is hoped that it will bring a prosperous life to the people here.
Outside the cottage there are still heavy mountains, the mountains flow, the green mountains are faint, and the beauty is like a picture~
There are many wooden buildings, and on the high Miao Ridge, those vivid Miao family life
On the observation deck of Qianhu Miao Village, there is a path that can pass through the residential area of Miao Village from the top of the mountain to the Baishui River at the foot of the mountain.
This path is formed by the continuous gap between the residential wooden buildings. The trail is very hidden and needs to be found with the guidance of locals.
Along the trail all the way down the mountain, passing by different Miao villages, we came here to see the scenery, and in others, that is their daily life.
Walking down the stone steps from the top of the village, the air is filled with dampness.
On both sides of the stairs are all kinds of daily life of the Miao family. In a small alley, I watched a group of old people sit around gossiping, all wearing homemade cloth shoes. The men wore blue cloth robes, some of which resembled Taoist costumes. But the Miao people shouldn't believe in Taoism, right?
I saw Miao Nu doing batik. The blue and white flowers were drawn one by one.
There are also Miao girls making embroidered skirts. The skirt of the Miao people is not like the Han skirt, which is made of a single piece of fabric. Rather, they are embroidered pieces one by one, hanging down from each other under the waist. This is somewhat like the battle skirt of Wudan in Peking Opera. These Miao costumes, if they can't be mechanical, but need to be embroidered by hand, then each set of Miao clothes is a Miao girl's needlework for many days and nights, and the mind of a needle by needle~
Walking in a hurry, it is inconvenient to stop and stare for a long time, and it is inconvenient to open your mouth to ask carefully. Walking through the front and door of those windows, it is like seeing other people's daily lives through glass windows.
The densely packed wooden buildings are built along the mountain, and the courtyard is not spacious, and the buildings are two or three floors, three or four floors.
It can be seen that it is not wealthy, but the people are very industrious.
Now Qianhu Miao Village has attracted more and more people's attention, and there is also a visitor center, and various special shops have been opened.
The spacious courtyard is also artistically designed, which is more in line with the needs of tourism, and also adds bright colors to the Miao Village.
The colorful umbrellas in the alleys give the old houses a vivid color.
Walking in the dense layers of wooden buildings, the eyes are full of buildings and life with strong ethnic flavors.
There are various homestays and snack bars in Miao Village, which provide great convenience for tourism.
Miao Township is rich in Miao silver, I don't know whether it is real silver or white copper with high silver content?
There are many silver shops in Miao Village, and most of the silver ornaments sold are Miao ornaments. This kind of jewelry, leaving the specific environment of Miao Township, is actually not suitable for urban people to wear daily. In order to open up sales, Miao Yin still needs to combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary styles in terms of style.
Miao Village may have been used to highlight its wealth, and there were huge silver ornaments in several places.
In particular, a huge Miao silver crown with a diameter of two or three meters is very eye-catching as a façade.
The logo made of the copper drum at the entrance of the small post office is very distinctive~
Huanpei jingling, the beautiful and moving Miao girl in the Miao village
In order to meet the needs of tourism, thousands of Miao villages hold singing and dancing performances on the main square at a fixed time every day.
On major festivals, the Miao girls of the whole village will also be organized to wear a full set of Miao costumes and hold a grand opening and welcoming ceremony at the gate of the village.
To be honest, not every Miao girl is as beautiful as a flower. But in the remote Miao village where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the Miao girl who is in her youth wears the costumes of the cultural heritage Miao embroidery, wears the sparkling Miao silver jewelry all over her body, smiles skillfully, and wears the bell, Ren is ruthless and moving!
With the development of national education, many Miao young people have also gone to university, walked out of the mountains, and saw the outside world.
But they also have different performances, some of them remember their hometowns, use the knowledge they have learned to build their hometowns, and help the villagers get rich. After graduating, some young people have seen the prosperity of big cities, feel that their original hometown is poor and backward, feel inferior, and try their best to get rid of their original bloodline.
In Guizhou, we have a scenic spot where the tour guide is a Miao girl. She claimed to be from the "Black Miao" family, as if she was a noble-blooded member of the Miao people, but she did not explain this. He did not introduce us to the history, culture, customs and habits of the Miao people, nor did he have the slightest sense of pride in his own nationality.
There is no desire to introduce the continuation of the Miao people and family characteristics to curious tourists. The curious questioning of tourists is also very simple and fast, so that you are full of curiosity, but you can't ask any more questions.
And she claimed that she had married a Han guy despite the strong opposition of her parents. Outwardly, she has been completely Han Chinese. And it can be felt that this Miao girl deliberately dresses up completely in accordance with the trend in terms of dress, behavior, and bags, as if she wants to draw a line with her native nation.
Along the way, the woman was foul-mouthed, making people feel that they were not well-educated. Whenever I parked, I couldn't wait to get out of the car and smoke. The skillful appearance of the big smoking gun, like a bad girl, made the whole passenger feel uncomfortable. In this case, many ethnic customs that I wanted to know were boring and I couldn't ask.
But no matter where a person is, if he is not proud of his own nation and his own national culture, there is a high probability that this person is not an outstanding member of his own nation. During the journey, you will meet all kinds of people, anyway, everyone is there to see the beautiful scenery, and when you meet pleasant people, you will have a good exchange. When you encounter a person who doesn't meet the smell of people, you will also be separated and will never see each other again~
Miao girls live in the mountains for a long time and have little contact with the outside world. The traditional education they have received since childhood has made them have a pungent and straightforward temperament, and they dare to love and hate. There is a big difference from the subtle and complex thoughts of modern metropolitan youth.
Miao young people mostly use their singing voices to sing and sing lyrics in love, and foreign young people do not have this ability at all.
Miao girls are influenced by tradition, they are loyal to love, and if they fall in love with someone, they will follow them for life.
The emotions of young people in developed cities have long been like fast food culture, and marriage and divorce are very common.
Based on these cultural differences in customs, Miao girls rarely marry outside.
Thinking about the movie "Do Not Disturb", the ethnic minority girl from Mengzi, Yunnan Province said to the male protagonist that if she got married, had a bad life, and wanted to divorce, her brother would break the male protagonist's leg ....... In Miao Township, if a man changes his mind, I wonder if the woman will give him a cup?
Looking at these Miao girls dressed in costumes, as beautiful and kind as flowers, I thought that they would live a lifetime in this economically underdeveloped, far away from modern civilization, and isolated and backward cottages in the future
Also happy and disgusted with laughter and noisy Miao family banquet, alpine flowing water wine
The Hundred Family Banquet is the highest etiquette for the hospitality of ethnic minorities in southwest China, such as the Dong and Miao ethnic groups.
Whenever the village visits each other or has a particularly distinguished guest to visit, the whole village prepares a few specialty dishes and rice, and gathers together to set up a long table in the shape of "one" in Gulouping, and hundreds of meals are made up into a hundred family banquets.
Guests can eat from the first table to the last table, you come and go, staggered, lively.
It is said that there is such a saying in the local area: "Eat a hundred meals, connect the hearts of a hundred families, drive away a hundred kinds of evil, and do a hundred things."
Now Miao Village has adopted this custom to tourism. According to the number of diners and the time booked by tourists, Miao Village organizes different families to come up with a few specialties and hold a hundred family banquets in the square of the village. It not only increases the income of the villagers, realizes the common prosperity of the villagers, but also allows tourists to experience the hospitality of the Miao family.
At the beginning of the banquet, with the melodious reeds, the Miao women made a gesture to pull the ears of the male guests, laughing and singing, and used chopsticks to hold the meat slices in the dish and sent them to the mouths of tourists, so that tourists want to eat but can't eat, back and forth several times.
The Miao people sang loudly and melodiously, and they were both happy and angry.
Although I can't understand the content of the lyrics, I can also hear from my demeanor that the girls, like all housewives, are counting the men for being lazy and not working, and cooking for you is not delicious, and at the same time they are coquettish and laughing......
This kind of amusing and laughing coquettish and joyful game made the male guests itch unbearably, and the big brothers who were traveling with them laughed, their faces were red with joy, and they couldn't stop being excited. All the guests laughed and laughed, so that the hundred family banquet was full of laughter~
In the simple Miao Village, there is an ancient custom.
When guests from afar arrive, they should entertain the distinguished guests with the most solemn banquet and endless wine.
It has now become a kind of ritual hospitality in local tourism: beautiful Miao girls dressed up in makeup, each holding a pot of wine, the wine from the back pot continues to flow into the front wine pot, and finally the wine pot of the girl in the lead is offered to the guests to drink.
This continuous pouring of alcohol is called "alpine flowing water". And the more thirsty the guest is, the more respect he has for the host and the more he likes it.
In the thousands of Miao villages, in this joyful toasting ceremony, the Miao girl is as beautiful as a flower, ringing and dingdong, holding a long string of flowing wine jugs, smiling and singing melodious and high-pitched persuasion songs, and the endless stream of fine wine finally flows into the mouths of distinguished guests.
This tourist with a good amount of alcohol is full of enjoyment and laughter.
And tourists with a small amount of alcohol often sneak under the table before they finish drinking, and lie down drunk, I don't know why~
All the guests laughed and laughed loudly, laughing and making trouble, and the atmosphere of the hundred family banquet boiled like this~
The thousand-year-old town is antique, and the Miao village has a variety of characteristics
Xijiang Thousand Miao Village is located in the deep mountains, although it has become a tourist hotspot in recent years, but after all, in the long era, it has been a place of inconvenient transportation and self-consistency.
The traditional culture and customs of the Miao people have been completely preserved here, and there has not changed much for thousands of years. From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, there are dense layers of wooden buildings built with local materials.
Generally, the first floor is damp and is often used for breeding, the second floor is used for homely living, and the third floor is used for storing grain.
Guizhou is rainy and damp, and the special landform of no three-foot flat land makes the people build buildings on the sunny side of the hillside according to the mountain terrain.
This staggered construction method built on the mountain makes every household have good lighting. The cottage faces the Baishui River, and forms a natural defensive moat.
Miao Village is damp and rainy, and the streets and wooden buildings are often wet, showing a warm luster of age.
In addition to electricity and electrical appliances, there are almost no modern buildings in the whole Miao Village, and there are not many traces of modernization.
Walking on the streets of Miao Village, there are not many tourists during the day. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the wooden building is very attractive.
At night, the alleys in the cottage are crisscrossed. We crossed the snack street until we reached the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge. As I walked back, I thought I wouldn't turn back, so I walked up a hillhill street.
There are many shops and silver shops on this street. But the whole street, there are almost no pedestrians. The shops are also deserted. It's like two worlds from the bustling nightclubs along the river and the crowded snack street that we passed by when we came.
Although it is known that the riverside and snack street are not far from this deserted street, it is likely to be parallel. But we walked for a while, but we didn't find a few side streets that intersected.
As a last resort, we found the police. When asking for directions, the police took us to the gap between the two houses, a small alley more than a meter wide, without any signs and no street lights. The black lights passed through the high walls on both sides, and when we saw it, we were back on the brightly lit and bustling Baishui River.
Originally, the two streets ran side by side, and there were many such small alleys that walked through them. But we tourists are not familiar with the road conditions and cannot find the entrance. The locals know the intersection and pass through it as soon as they wear it.
As a tourist looking for a hidden place, of course, I love this ancient village that retains its original style.
However, from the perspective of people's livelihood and wealth, in recent years, Miao Village has vigorously developed tourism, on the basis of retaining the original style, adding various hardware facilities and software promotional packaging for modern tourism, building tourism brands, and enriching tourism projects, which is also the result of the local government's vigorous rural revitalization work.
The live broadcast and celebrity effect of all parties have expanded the influence of Miao Village, attracted tourists from all over the world, and generated income for the local people.
I sincerely hope that this ancient Miao village can be rejuvenated and benefit the local people~
The beautiful scenery, the hospitable people, and the guests from afar ask you to stay
Thousands of Miao villages dance with Miao girls on the dam field, which is the hometown of singing and dancing.
The mountain is full of fine wine, and it is a land of hospitality.
According to the traditional music of Miao Township, many excellent music works have been born at home and abroad.
Walking among the layers of wooden buildings in Miao Village, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down on the fresh life of thousands of households, the cascading mountains extend to the distant mountains. You will think of the famous orchestral music "Good News from Beijing to the Border Village".
With the singing and dancing tones of the Miao and Yi ethnic groups, it expresses the joyful mood and rich life atmosphere of the people in the border village.
The continuous long sound of the horn came from afar, the enthusiastic and unrestrained tune, the sonorous and bright accompaniment, in the cheerful and enthusiastic atmosphere, mixed with the sound of row drums, wooden fish and tambourine, as if the Miao girl was wearing a silver bell and dancing indulgently.
In the fiery emotion, the melodious song "Guests from afar, please stay" will sound in my heart:
The flowers on the side of the road are blooming, and the fruits on the trees are waiting for people to pick them. That Selosse, that Alas, the guests from afar, please stay......
The beautiful natural scenery, the beautiful, kind and hospitable people, and the humanities with strong national characteristics ~ Xijiang Thousand Miao Villages, which make people forget to return~
Travel Tips:
1. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is located in Leishan, Guizhou, starting from Guiyang, there is a shuttle bus to reach. It is also accessible by car. Now the highway in Guizhou is developed, the road condition is very good, and the driving is also very convenient.
2. It is rainy in Guizhou, please bring your own umbrella and rain gear. Although it is also available locally, it is more convenient to carry with you.
3. There are many homestays in Miao Village, and the price is slightly more expensive than accommodation outside Miao Village. But if it is really booked outside the village, it is actually not far away, and you can walk four or five hundred meters to the gate of the village.
4. If you have large luggage, it is best to confirm the drop-off location and the direction of entry by car with the front desk of the hotel in advance. If you go down to the wrong place, Miao Village is a hillside, climb the hill with large luggage, or stop in the wrong direction when getting off the bus, climb a long distance or walk through the entire Miao Village to find a hotel, it will be very tiring.
5. The best time to visit the Miao Village is to stay one night and take one day. The Miao village at night is more amorous.
