"Yinjiajie", these three big characters are engraved on a boulder at the intersection of three forks. According to the locals, there is no surname "Yin" here, so where does the name "Yinjiajie" come from? There must be a story in it. The payment time is March 2019, which shows that the "Yinjiajie" is still very young, and that the "Yinjiajie" is hidden in the deep mountains and people do not know.

Broken bones, flowers, saxifrage

Early spring in the Indian family: Ta Ni Lake

The territory of this boulder is the "Tamud Lake" in the "Yinjiajie" scenic spot. The boulder bears witness to the history of "Ta Mu Lake" and has now become a local landmark. The slope of the boulder is covered by a thick layer of greenery, with broken bones, flowers on the other side, and saxifrage grass...... This is the scenery and culture, because the doctor likes to use the medicine of broken bones, the saxifrage is cuicui, Shen Congwen likes it, and the Buddha likes it, but this season, I don't know if the flowers on the other side here bloom yellow flowers or red flowers?

Water and fish

Yinjiajie Nature Reserve is located in the upper reaches of Mengdong River, with streams running vertically and horizontally, and many rivers such as Ruchi River and Tanihu River running through the entire reserve. There are many and large groupers in various streams!

Water and fish are the self-confidence and pride here, because 40 years ago, they took the water from the river and drank it directly, and the dried fish in other places sold for 200 yuan a catty, and the dried fish in this area could be sold for 200 yuan a catty, and the supply was still in short supply.

Creek people

Before the morning fog had completely dissipated, Zhang Guixiang (1957) let the ducks walk back and forth on the chain bridge. At most times, she fed 150 ducks and 200 chickens, and the local chickens were hatched by themselves, and at night the chickens and ducks went back by themselves, and they were all closed to the other side of the river. In addition, she also sells tofu and mung bean skin for many years, and sometimes takes a fare of ten yuan to Luci Street to sell them on Yanjing Street in Yongshun, and sometimes takes a fare of ten yuan to sell them on Luci Street.

Sister Zhang's wife Lao Yu is a sheep, 69 years old this year, this house was started by Lao Yu in 1987, they have five children, three women and two men, and killed two pigs and more than 600 catties during the Chinese New Year this year.

I asked, "Did you have any rich people here in the past?" Do you have any beautiful houses?" She replied: "Do we have money here, is it Wang Changyong! A new house has been built, and we will go to the second man's house to eat and drink!" Lao Yu understood what I said, and said: "There is a two-hundred-year-old house, going up this stream and ditch, it used to belong to the Li family, and that house has been up for one or two hundred years." ”

Ta Nihu Bazaar

This place is the traffic point of going up to Enshi, Laifeng, Chongqing, down to Yongshun and Taoyuan, and there are markets and inns in ancient times. About the Ta Nihu Bazaar, built on the banks of an unnamed stream, the buildings are densely packed, and you will not get your shoes wet when you walk through the street. There is a folk proverb left in the place: "One mile and three arch bridges, surrounded by big palm trees; ”

"One mile and three arch bridges": The Ta Ni Lake Bazaar is located along the banks of the stream, about a mile away, and there are three stone arch bridges, at least two of which can still be seen today.

"Big palm trees with big enclosures": It means that there are big palm trees here, and it is rare for a person to hold a big palm tree.

"Eat on this side of the river, settle accounts on the door of the river": It means that in the past, there was a big inn of the Hu family built across the ditch, and the food and accounting were on the side of the stream.

Later, I don't know what the reason is, the market declined, and someone shouted in Yongshun Yanjing on the other side, but it became a field, so the Yanjing market was called a new field.

The markets in this area are different from other places in Xiangxi, and they are held once every three days, not by the lunar calendar: Yanjing Market 258, Wanping Market 369, and Shanmu Village Market 147, which have a history of nearly 40 years.

Five miscellaneous surnames "Ta Ni Lake"

"Five miscellaneous surnames" is an idiom in Xiangxi, which means that there are many surnames and many surnames.

In Tapi Village, Nongche Town, Longshan County, 1,230 people from 332 households in 9 villager groups, scattered in the mountains and rivers at the junction of Yongshun, with five miscellaneous surnames, including Peng, Chen, Gao, Li, Zhu, Tian, Gong, Wang, Song, Quan, Qin, Xu, Yu, Luo, Liu, Wu, Xiao, Mao, Shen, Zhang...... It is rare for a village to have so many surnames, and if we look at this phenomenon in the context of anthropological history, their ancestors must have come for a living, for this bazaar, and the many surnames will develop a harmonious atmosphere of "keeping to oneself and not deceiving others". Of course, over time, there are seven aunts and eight aunts between different surnames, and they have formed a bond of kinship.

This middle-aged man who washed a motorcycle, a native of Hexi Lake, surnamed Wu, and a Miao ethnic group, migrated from Yongshun Yanjing Banzhujing. He said, "It's better to do some work than to play cards!" and so he went across the river with a hoe, a sickle, and some oranges.

Cupola

The local people call it "Cupola". Compared with the surrounding houses, the cupola is unique and stands out from the crowd. This ancient building was built in the Ta Ni Lake Market, which is the product and witness of the prosperity of the Ta Ni Lake Market. This ancient building belongs to the Li family, some people say, this ancient house is two hundred years old, the sixty-year-old old Song said, my mother-in-law is the Li family, when this big house was built, my mother-in-law was only three years old.

Wangjiazhai Li family

The Li family lives on the back slope of Wangjiazhai, the small place is called Laowuchang, and there is a well not far away, which can pick ten or eight at one time, which provides water resources for the survival of the Li family. Judging from the fine diamonds scattered here, there was once a period of glory for the Li family here. In the early days of liberation, schools and health centers were set up here.

Li Qingyu, 78 years old (born in March 1947), said that the ancestors of their Li family were three brothers who migrated from Taoyuan, and their home was flooded due to the flood in Taoyuan. The two brothers first went to the Dongtian (Jiyin) boundary on the banks of the Yeux River, and then migrated here.

When it was said that the wife (grandfather) was in the hands, the Li family had already lost his wife and property due to gambling, and only one or two hills of land (more than one acre) were left when he was liberated, and he was classified as a poor peasant.

During the Republic of China, the Li family produced a copycat hero. Once the bandits came to the village to rob again, at that time there was a deaf man in the Li family who rushed forward with a big knife, because he could not hear the sound of guns and was fearless, the bandits thought that they were invulnerable, and abandoned the gun and fled.

Wangjiazhai ginkgo

"Wangjiazhai", Group 6 of Tapi Village, is also five miscellaneous surnames. The Wang family is a big surname, and it is said that the Wang family migrated from near Changsha, and they called their mother "Mubo" and their father "Ya", which is different from other surnames. Judging from the title "Mbo" and the prefix "M" for the mother, it has obvious uniqueness, indicating that they migrated from there.

There is a small ginkgo tree on the side of the road in Wangjiazhai, and the person who planted the tree is Wang Shifeng. In 1934, when He Long's team was stationed here, Wang Shifeng's father Wang Shengguang was busy running forward, He Long was happy and gave him a basket, Wang Shengguang went home and insisted on joining the army, but he didn't expect to be tied to the pillar by his stronger wife Peng Linxiang......

The uncle of the magic village

Uncle's house, magical village, 4 groups of Ta Ni Village. My uncle got meningitis when he was a teenager, and he couldn't speak after he recovered from his illness because he didn't take proper medication.

Living in a world without language, it doesn't matter who your uncle's name is, what matters is that her sister and brother are good to him! What is important is that your uncle has adhered to the skill of herding cattle, so that he can keep a cow to the size of a herd of about 20 cows.
