preamble


Approaching the Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang seems to be approaching another world. The stilted buildings are built on the mountain. The terrain here is a typical river valley. The clear Baishui River passes through the Miao Village. The stilted buildings of the Miao Village are located on the northeast side of the river. on the slope. For thousands of years, the industrious and brave Xijiang Miao compatriots have been farming here at sunrise and resting at sunset. They have opened up a large area of ​​terraced fields in the upper reaches of Miao Village, forming a rich farming culture and beautiful pastoral scenery. Overlooking thousands of stilted buildings from the air, with the ups and downs of the terrain, there are many mountains and rows of mountains, which is very spectacular.

When it comes to Guizhou, the first thing people think of is Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Whether it is seen on TV or the beautiful scenery of Miao Village seen in aerial video, people will never forget to see it. So on the eve of the National Day, I went to Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, Guizhou to see the beautiful scenery with my own eyes.

Watching a beautiful Xijiang performance in Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang is a process of showing the life of Miao people. The original, simple and characteristic performance won rounds of applause from the audience. Let me start to understand the sincerity and simplicity of the Miao people from here.

Putting on Miao clothes, experiencing a Miao elder brother that I have never had before, and taking a photo with a beautiful younger sister in the Miao village, I am still thinking about it, and I will never forget it.

In the evening, walk in the Xijiang Miaojie, Fengyu Bridge, and the viewing platform to watch a feast of night scenes. From the viewing platform, you can have a panoramic view of the night scene of thousands of Miao villages and thousands of lights, which is too beautiful to behold.

On the road to Wudong Miao Village, you can see the golden rice fields all over the mountains. With the ups and downs of the mountains, each patch of terraced fields shows a unique color. From a distance, autumn is like layers of golden belts. There is no such thing as beauty.

The country's first large-scale Miao ethnicity landscape performance "Xijiang Grand Ceremony", the live experience takes the actual landscape and Miao village Jijiu Miao Village as the stage background. The rotating stage made me feel the excitement of the performance.

Seeing the panoramic view of the opposite Miao Village from the viewing platform can be said to be one of the must-see cards when you come here. Many promotional videos were shot from this angle.


Looking at the different Miao villages from the perspective of the air, you will find that the buildings here are not modern. Whether they are built behind or built before, they all have a unified style of appearance, so that it seems that the buildings of the entire Miao village remain unified. , The architectural style of the stilt building is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. All tourists who come here are deeply attracted by this unique building.

The buildings on stilts are the most characteristic buildings of the Miao people. They are built on the hillside as the terrain changes. Standing on the viewing platform, you can have a panoramic view of the Miao village on the opposite side.

We didn’t take pictures on the viewing platform where people were crowded. We found a balcony of a restaurant. There were basically few people. The scenery here is more beautiful, and there are no crowds to take pictures. There are many photos on the balcony. Table, where you can see the scenery of the Miao Village on both sides of the river. Whether you are walking on the street or strolling in the alleys, the shops that rent Miao clothes are what you see the most, especially when some aunts wear beautiful Miao clothes and go to the bridge, taking pictures on the side of the road. But it is rare to see boys renting clothes. This time I made an exception. Haha, I put on Miao clothes and became the elder brother of Miao Village.

Just down from the viewing platform, there is a building with an internet celebrity check-in point. We walked upstairs along the path. This is a restaurant. We said hello to the boss and went up to take a photo for free. While taking pictures There are still a few tourists in the back who are waiting in line to take pictures. This building is a two-story restaurant with a wooden structure. It is a bit dangerous to see some girls sitting on the frame of the building. If you take pictures here, you should pay attention to safety. After going up, take pictures of the shape, you can ask your friends to take pictures on the opposite side, the scenery taken from different angles is different.

Stroll through the ancient alleys of Gage, where there are all intangible cultural heritage, and experience batik with your own hands


Gage Ancient Alley is the birthplace of Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, and Gage Ancient Alley means a small alley in Miao Village. Walking in the Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, strolling along the ancient alley of Gage, this is a deep and narrow ancient alley, the alley is not big, but it contains many cultural symbols of the Miao nationality, such as Miao embroidery, wine making, batik, and ancient papermaking , Miao silver and other unique original ecological Miao cultural characteristics, everywhere is intangible cultural heritage.


Walking into the alley, we first came to an ancient paper-making shop. The staff on site were using the ancient method to make paper, which opened our eyes. The staff at the site said that the Miao family used "constructed skin" to make paper, which had to be peeled, Drying, steaming, river retting, bleaching, rinsing, material selection, cleaning, beating, bag washing, watering, troughing, mixing materials, papermaking, squeezing, drying paper, peeling paper, bundling, etc. There are ten procedures, each of which seems to be easy, but it is not easy to actually operate it. The partners in the same industry experienced on the spot, how to use the ancient method to make paper, to experience another Miao style.

It is raining outside, and walking in the ancient alley of Gage has a special scene. The colorful oil umbrellas hanging on the alleys can be seen everywhere, adding a lot of beautiful colors to this ancient alley. Then we went to a tea shop to make tea. The most famous tea here is Leigong Mountain Yinqiu tea. This kind of tea is completely different from our Fujian Tieguanyin tea. Yinqiu tea is green tea. It's a spherical shape, put one or two in a glass when you want to brew, pour boiling water into it and steep it directly. Unlike other tea brewing methods, silver ball tea brewing method is simple and clear. Yinqiu tea tastes fragrant and tangy, the taste is relatively light, and the aftertaste is sweet after drinking.

After drinking tea, we went to experience a handful of Miao embroidery. When I walked into this shop, I saw a lot of grandmothers wearing Miao clothes were embroidering. Miao embroidery has the function of inheriting history and culture, mainly in the embroidery patterns. superior. Almost every embroidery pattern has an origin or legend, all of which are deeply embedded in the national culture, are the expression of national emotion, and the display of the history and life of the Miao nationality. Butterflies, dragons, birds, fish, polka-dot flowers, duckweed flowers and other patterns are all the content sung in "Ancient Miao Songs", with bright colors, clear composition, simple and generous.

An old lady next to her caught everyone's attention. This is the first time I have seen this unique thread weaving process. Eight threads are woven into one thread. The direction of the eight threads is different each time we weave. Simple, but a bit difficult to weave.

On the one hand, it is embroidery, and on the other hand, the young lady who is studying in the same industry has learned Miao batik. Under the teacher's explanation, I can also learn some knowledge in the whole process from not knowing to batik. Clothes that have been worn are not easy to fade and are safe.

First choose a pattern you like, or you can choose a simpler one, and then use wax to paint the pattern on hemp, silk, cotton, wool and other fabrics, and then put it in a dye vat for dyeing. The waxed area cannot be dyed. Color, remove the wax to show beautiful patterns, this is batik. Batik has become an intangible cultural heritage. If you travel here, you can experience the whole process of batik.

The water granary in Xinqiao Miao Village is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Miao ancestors


Xinqiao Miao Village is the hometown of sexy miniskirt Miao, 12 kilometers away from Leishan County, and it only takes 15 minutes to drive from Leishan County. We came here early in the morning from Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. After getting off the car, we saw the entrance of the water granary. Before we came here, we didn’t know what was going on with the water granary. Since we saw the buildings inside Finally, it suddenly dawned on me and opened my eyes. The water granary, as the name suggests, is a grain warehouse above the water.


Walking into the water granary, dozens of unique buildings appear in front of you. This kind of building is a building on stilts, but it is built in the water. The water granary is a building with local characteristics. This kind of granary built on the water The advantage lies in the prevention of rodents, fire, theft, insects and theft. The whole village built the granary in one place. I happened to see a villager come to the granary to pick up grain, and saw that there were a lot of rice, corn, etc. stored in it.

Every time the grain is harvested, it can be stored. The floating granary is a wooden structure building, which looks similar to an ordinary wooden house from the outside, and can store hundreds of tons of grain. A granary is supported by wooden pillars as tall as a stilt building. There are still some floats in the pond, and small fish are still swimming in it. I have to thank the intelligent and hardworking ancestors here. The granary is built on the water, and now it has become one of the must-see attractions for tourists. Tourists who have been here have been impressed by the wisdom of the ancients after seeing this spectacle.

Standing on a high place, the whole building of the water granary is integrated with the surrounding Miao village buildings. This is the wisdom of the ancient Miao people. It is a simple building that can serve many functions. I really admire the wisdom of the ancients. , here is more like a living museum. When we have not come here and after we have come here, the two feelings are completely different. Here we can see the panorama of the water granary. eye. The silent granary is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of the Miao nationality, and it is also a living architectural museum, which makes every traveler here deeply touched. This place has now become a check-in place for Internet celebrities, and it is worth visiting.


The most famous Yingde Miao Village in Guizhou, where the Olympic flame passed


Langde Miao village is divided into upper village and lower village. The buildings in Shangzhai are built on the slopes of mountains and rivers. They are all wooden structures, set off by lush forests and bamboos. , Exquisite and quiet. There are rows of stilted buildings in the village, which has a unique Miao style. The Miao people are simple and passionate, warm and hospitable, and the welcome wine with high mountains and flowing water is the highest respect for visitors. Compared with Xijiang, this place is relatively original. The villagers are all good at singing and dancing. The beautiful silver ornaments and loud singing make every tourist linger and forget to return.


Every day, the villagers welcome tourists from afar at the entrance of the village. The warm and hospitable people of Yunde Miao Village have been at the entrance of the village early on. The door-blocking wine is the first welcome wine that must be passed. There is no such thing in Yingde Miao Village. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is so famous, but he has many honors, such as the hometown of Chinese festivals, the hometown of Chinese folk art, the national key cultural relics protection unit, the Chinese landscape village, and the first batch of traditional villages in China. The 2008 Olympic torch was passed here. It can be said that Langde Miao Village was the most famous Miao Village in Guizhou before Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village became famous.

After drinking the wine at the door, walk along the path to a small square in the village. The Miao Village in Yingde is not as commercialized as Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang. It is relatively primitive and there are not many people. Big, relatively speaking, it is more delicate. After arriving at the small square, we began to watch a performance of the local Miao Village.

In Yingde Miao Village, whether it is an old man, an adult, or a child, everyone is good at singing and dancing. The daily performance is a fixed time. If you come to the village at the right time, you can also see the Miao tradition twice a day. Songs and dances, Miao flying songs, Lusheng dance, copper drum, golden pheasant dance, group dance... and so on are rich and colorful Miao folk songs and dances. This time we met the time for the performance. The old man put on the Miao costume and danced. The performance was very exciting, one performance followed another.

Later, Bohu went to the Miao girl and asked about the salary of the performance, and then he realized that each performance was about 5 yuan, and the performance was 15 yuan for a family of three. Each performance is about 2 hours, and after the performance, you can do other things. This performance is completely voluntary, and of course there are some young people who choose to work in other places. Villagers who stay at home usually come to perform, and families with a large population can get thousands of yuan in a month. It's still a good deal, after all, the show doesn't need to be very long, and you can do other things after the show. After the performance, I found a beautiful sister and walked over to take a photo with her.

Even the children and the elderly were on stage. The Miao nationality is a nation that is good at singing and dancing. Children must learn to sing and dance when they are young. When children learn to walk, they must first learn to dance. The most eye-catching part of the whole performance is the Lusheng performance, ten reed performers, eight of them are old people, look at the old people, the reeds played by them are really good, very nice, reeds are the most common musical instruments in every Miao village.

Finally, I came to the former residence of Yang Daliu to visit and browse along a small alley. Yang Daliu is a hero in the village and is said to be one of the leaders of the peasant uprising in the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, he stepped on a horse and was extremely brave. There is a pond at the intersection to Zhaizi. The water in the pond is green, and there is a statue of a cow in it. From a distance, it looks like a real buffalo. The function of this pond is fire protection, because the buildings here are basically made of wood. When there is a fire, the water in the pond can be used to put out the fire.


Wudong Miao Village, a golden terraced field in the autumn harvest


Autumn is the harvest season. We drove from Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang to the foot of Leigong Mountain to visit a primitive ancient Miao Village like a paradise——Wudong Miao Village. On our way to the car, we found a large terraced field, which was very beautiful. We Asked the driver to stop the car and admired the beautiful terraced fields on the side of the road. The golden rice fields on the other side of the mountain looked like a golden dragon hovering between the mountains, one mountain after another. A mountain, rolling up and down. If there is more fog at this time, it can be a fairyland-like scenery on earth.


Compared with Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Wudong Miao Village is not so famous, and Wudong Miao Village is relatively scattered, and there is a little distance between villages. We went all the way to the gate of Wudong Miao Village, and we parked the car Walked into this beautiful Miao Village on the side of the road. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, there is no smog or traffic jam. There is more tranquility here. You can smell the fragrance of flowers and fruits on the mountain at any time, listen to the insects and birds in the terraced fields, and live in the pastoral life.

When I entered the village, I saw an old water mill, which used water conservancy to drive the stone mill to rotate. Before there was no electricity, it was used to grind corn and other domestic crops, which has reduced the labor force.

The Miao village here is very quiet. The rice in the rice fields and the flowers in the fields are allowed to grow. The quiet village has less noise. You can watch the stars in the sky at night and listen to the insects and birds in the fields during the day. A pastoral style, tourists who come here from the city can relax and reap the tranquility and leisure of the countryside.


Miao Family Courtyard Folk Museum, a folk collection of Miao culture


The Miao Family Courtyard is very close to the water granary in Datang Town. It covers an area of ​​about 11 acres and consists of 19 Miao wooden houses. It is mainly used to store all kinds of folk antiques related to Miao culture that he collected. Old items, ranging from folk farm tools, furniture and other items related to Miao culture, are all in his collection. When approaching the gate of the compound, I first saw a mini version of the water granary, and the other side was full of flowers and plants. This is the Folk Collection Museum.


The collected collections are in a house near the front, and the gate says Miao Family Courtyard Folk Custom Museum. The first thing you see when you walk into the gate is a pair of wooden carved horses and a statue of Buddha, behind which are old wooden windows and other carvings.

When I walked to the back, I was shocked by the collection of Miao embroidery and ancient stools and tables. This is the museum with the largest collection of folk collections. Neatly lined up on both sides, there are also carved Buddha statues. There are a variety of collections, large and small, ranging from a piece of copper coin to a large water tank. There are many collections related to the Miao nationality. You can find it here, the key is that there are no tickets here now, and there are relatively few people who know it.

The old man in this collection is Miao Yaosheng, a Hangzhou oil painter whose ancestral home is in the Northeast. He is about 1.7 meters tall and has long hair. Guizhou, attracted by the environment around Leishan and the local folk customs, moved all their household registrations and settled here for 17 years. After selling his paintings for many years, he went to Guizhou and other places to collect these antiques and objects related to the Miao nationality. He said, "every item I collected is attached to the culture of generations of Miao ancestors. These resources are non-renewable. It is also priceless." We admire and are moved by this teacher's sincere appreciation of Miao culture. From loving to cherishing the art and culture of the Miao family. I hope that tourists who travel to Xijiang Miao Village can go to the Miao Family Compound. You will also get a different touch.

Stir-fried bacon with Zheergen. Many people are not familiar with Zheergen. If I tell you that Zheergen is actually the root of Houttuynia cordata, wouldn’t it be astonishing? Unlike other places where the leaves of Houttuynia cordata are used for cooking, in Guizhou most of them use its roots. Very thin and long light white stalks, it tastes powdery, and the fishy smell is not so strong after frying, and people who are not used to it can still chew it.

If you don’t know how to drink it, just give it a try.


The Miao nationality is a very hospitable nation. Whenever a guest or distinguished guest comes, the whole family or even the whole village will greet them. In the way of greeting, Miao Village has a special way of greeting - bar the door wine. This is a very grand etiquette to welcome distinguished guests from afar.

postscript


The feeling I had when I had not been to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village was completely different from the feeling I had when I went to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. It is even the largest Miao village in the world. From the viewing platform, you can see that the Miao villages are layered and scattered, inlaid on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain, and the river passes through the mountains on both sides. The blue-gray tiles, the stilted buildings with Miao characteristics, and the winding stone roads all form a beautiful painting together with the green mountains. Just a few days left a good impression on me here. Taste the delicious food at the long table banquet, the sour fish soup that you want to eat again. Strolling in the stockade, tourists can wear Miao costumes to experience, play Lusheng, sing and dance, integrate themselves into it, and feel the rich Miao culture. However, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village needs you to slow down and savor it slowly in order to understand its beauty.
