Baiyan Village

In the depths of the mountains in southeastern Guizhou, there are often countless scenery hidden. This time Xiongying and a few friends came to Baiyan Village, Danjiang Town, 8.7 kilometers away from the county seat of Leishan County, to explore the beauty of terraced fields here.

Baiyan Village, located deep in the mountains, has always been famous for its terraced fields in southeast Guizhou, and is known as "a village supported by terraced fields". Surrounded by mountains, dense vegetation, streams and waterfalls fall randomly in the mountains, forming a very harmonious picture.

Before dawn, in the Baimei B&B, after a good night's rest, the eagle, who was still a little excited, woke up, opened the curtains of the room, and the dark night when he came last night. The scenery is different, and the shocking scenery of terraced fields has appeared in my sight.

To be honest, this is not the first time Xiongying has come to Qiandongnan, nor is it the first time I have seen the scenery of terraced fields, but at this moment, the scenery in front of me still makes my eyes shine, and I have a desire to The urge to explore.

Xiongying is a man of action. Now that he has an idea, he will do it as soon as he says it. So, he took a SLR and an aerial camera and hiked to a nearby mountain to take pictures of the scenery. Friends who know a little about photography know that the light in the early morning is the most perfect of the day. Besides, in Guizhou, where the ground is not three feet flat and the sky is not sunny for three days, it is very good to meet this kind of weather and timing.

In the early morning, the village is very quiet, but there are already busy villagers on the wheat ridges in the field. They are sweating hard and continuing to work hard for their family's livelihood. And the birds resting on the branches and on the roof gradually woke up and chirped. The situation was actually very harmonious.

Although it is not the harvest season for Baiyan Village, looking at the hard-working villagers, Xiongying can't help but think of Xin Qiji's song "Speaking of a Harvest Year in the Rice Flower Field". The village in the busy season is really good. A piece of rural scenery.

Different from the plain area, most of the houses in Baiyan Village are built on the hillside. Although most of them are stilted buildings in terms of architectural methods, each building is different because of the different construction times and the understanding of the builders at that time. Each building is different in style and has its own characteristics. If you have nothing to do, you might as well look up from the foot of the mountain. The village where Baiyan Village is located is like a fairyland on earth, and its beauty is breathtaking.

Driving from Baiyan Village, there are several surging waterfalls in the mountains between Baiyan Village and the gate of Leigong Mountain Nature Reserve. Standing beside the road, looking as far as the eye can see, among the lush greenery, the endless waterfalls are like long silver dragons, which is impressive and will never be forgotten for a long time.

After dinner, the sky gradually darkened. At night, it may be the quietest time in Baiyan Village. Although it is already the 21st century, the villagers who have lived in the mountains for a long time still have few entertainment items at night. traditional way of life.

Lying quietly alone in the Baimei B&B in Baiyan Village, in this dark night where you can't see your fingers, there are occasional melodious mountain slang songs in the air, which makes the eagle's heart go further and further with the fluttering singing. Far……


Baimei Village

Living in a bustling city for a long time, sometimes there will always be inexplicable pressure. Whenever this time, I always choose to find a place to let myself go on weekends or holidays, and relax for a few days.

And recently, I accidentally saw a photo of Baiyan Village in Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. When I saw the beautiful terraced fields and the undeveloped, very simple Miao villagers, I decided to visit here in the near future. Fan.

When night fell, in the dark night, when driving on the Panshan Highway from Leishan County to Baiyan Village, the cool mountain breeze was blowing, and the mood that had been suppressed for a long time naturally improved.

The first time I saw Baimei Village Hostel in Baiyan Village, it began in the dark night, the orange lights, and the kind but not warm smile of the housekeeper of Baimei Village. A simple greeting can inspire the heart. Silk's strangeness and coldness.

Like most of the surrounding buildings, Baimei Village House is also a wooden structure, and it is made of logs. Under the reflection of the orange floor lamp, it looks very warm and natural.

Today’s homestay is only open for the first phase, and the first phase itself is not big, with only eight rooms. Since I live alone, I must choose a spacious bed, so I naturally choose One bed room.

After closing the door, I couldn't help but take a look at this small world that will soon be my own. Like the whole building, this room is not big, but the layout is not compact. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

There is an open washbasin, a wet and dry toilet and shower room, a clothing rack, and a large bed next to the window. There is also a piece of local batik cloth on the bed. At this moment, I fell in love with it.

When I woke up, it was already bright, and the curtains were drawn, and the soft sunlight shone into the room. Taking a closer look, it turns out that outside the rooms of the homestay are terraced fields one after another, as well as scattered dwellings.

The breakfast in the morning is rich and nutritious. A local egg purchased from a local villager's home, two side dishes, a plate of fruit, a bowl of porridge, two or three small steamed buns, and a piece of purple sweet potato constitute a Perfect start.

After breakfast, you might as well take a walk along the small road in the village. The various buildings are overwhelming and deeply moving. The old house that has been baptized by the years lives next to the buildings that have just been built in recent years. This slightly inconsistent feeling seems to be endowed with other meanings at this moment.

As I said before, the next convenience of the homestay is the terraced fields. When you arrive at Baiyan Village, you have to see the terraced fields. So you might as well walk down the path all the way down to observe the charm of the terraced fields in Baiyan Village up close.

After visiting the terraced fields, you might as well go back to the hotel to eat authentic Guizhou cuisine, and then go to the batik teacher to learn how to make batik. In many people's minds, batik should be a unique feature of Bali, Indonesia.

In fact, this is not the case. Batik is an ancient folk traditional textile printing and dyeing handicraft of ethnic minorities in my country. It is also known as the three major printing techniques in ancient my country together with twisting and clamping. The Miao, Buyi and other ethnic groups in Guizhou and Yunnan provinces are relatively good at batik.

Therefore, authentic batik can only be appreciated in the southwest of my country.


Lusheng dance

Friends who have been to Guizhou will definitely be deeply impressed by the hospitable and hospitable ethnic minorities in Guizhou. Whenever tourists from afar come into the village, the local villagers will express their joy from the heart with a series of songs and dances such as high mountains and flowing water, Lusheng dance, etc.

Lusheng dance, also known as "stepping on Lusheng", is named after the use of land as the accompaniment of the dance. This dance is widely spread in Miao, Dong, Buyi, Shui, Gelao, Guizhou, Guangxi, Hunan, Yunnan and other places. Zhuang, Yao and other ethnic groups inhabited areas, is the most popular and widely distributed folk dance of the southern minorities, with a long history of more than 2,000 years.

It is true that Xiong Ying, who has been to Guizhou many times, is very fond of the reed dance in this mountainous province. When Xiongying went to Baiyan Village, Leishan County, Qiandongnan, Guizhou this time, he encountered a grand reed dance by accident. Next, I invite you to watch the officials to see what happened.

As a village supported by terraced fields, the natural scenery of Baiyan Village is naturally very attractive, so during the two nights spent in Baiyan Village, Xiongying went to bed early and got up early, just to be able to encounter the most beautiful scenery .

In the early morning, the morning light is twilight, and in such a beautiful time, the reed troupe of Baiyan Village dances gracefully to the melody of the musicians while passing through the wheat ridges. Such a scene is simply fascinating.

I went over to inquire. It turned out that the nearest village was organizing a reed dance competition. The reed team from Baiyan Village also planned to participate in the competition and win the first place. Now they were preparing for another warm-up, so they drove to the competition venue.

Like the reed dance in other places, Baiyan Village also adopts a team of twelve people, and the formation is a long square formation of three people in a horizontal row and four people in a vertical row. Accompanied by the melodious accompaniment of three musicians, more than a dozen Miao women danced gracefully, appearing extremely rhythmic.

Among the onlookers, besides Xiongying and my friends, there was also a knowledgeable Miao old man. Xiongying watched the reed dance and listened to him explain the origin of the reed dance.

It is said that Chi You is the ancestor god of the Miao nationality. He once assisted Emperor Yan to fight against the Yellow Emperor. Once the Yellow Emperor took advantage of the emptiness to directly attack the army of Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan was defeated and died in battle on the way.

After Chi You retreated into the mountains, he re-gathered tribes from all over the world and moved to Yunnan. When retreating into the deep mountains, Chi You also called the leaders of the tribes to discuss together, and one of them named A Duo proposed to use the sound of playing the bamboo flute to convey the message. Some people objected that the sound of the bamboo flute was too low. A Duo said that several bamboo flutes can be tied together to play, and when many people play together, the sound will be louder.

Chi You adopted A Duo's suggestion, and A Duo tied six bamboo joints of different lengths together to connect them, pressed different bamboo eyes with his fingers, and blew on the longest bamboo eye, and the Lu sound from this bundle of bamboo was very loud , More than ten men blew together, and the sound spread far and far.

Later, whenever there was an emergency, Chi You's tribe would play the reed sheng, unite to resist the enemy, and over time, the reed sheng became a kind of dance, which was unexpected by the ancestors.

about food

Guizhou is a province with a variety of cuisines. Spicy flavor is the main feature of Guizhou cuisine, and most of the famous dishes are closely related to chili. In addition, Guizhou dishes are more acidic. Therefore, there is a folk song in Guizhou that "do not eat sour food for three days, and walk up and down".
