In the year of Gengzi (2020), the beginning of winter is just around the corner, and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is still "high winds and sparse leaves with frost falling, and the sound of cold geese coming to the water." Late autumn is receding, as if "the long ditch flows silently"; light winter slows down Coming, it seems that "the sound of nature responds to things without a sound". Remnant autumn and early winter stand side by side, although "each embraces the terrain", there is no shortage of "contradictions", and they are always harmonious in the southeast of Guizhou, and "the sky is clear and the air is clear, and the wind is smooth."
"The river turns from the side of the egret, and the clouds grow in the gaps in the green mountains." This is Guizhou on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and the charm of Guizhou is not limited to this, but also lies in its multi-ethnic customs, which are harmonious but different, incomparable .
Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is one of the business cards of Guizhou. It lives at the foot of Leigong Mountain in Leishan County in the southeastern part of Guizhou.
Dozens of natural villages, with colorful ancient colors, are built along the mountain, layer upon layer, and densely packed. They used to be self-governing, and they are close to each other, but now they are connected to each other. It transforms into the largest Miao-inhabited village in China and even in the world, and condenses the historical evolution of the Miao nationality in China. In the way of cultural fast food, the world can appreciate the cause and effect of the Miao people for thousands of years.
The most tragic nation in the world is none other than the Jews and the Hmong, especially the latter. During his five involuntary migrations, he not only sailed through the mountains and mountains, but also fled desperately all the way, fleeing into wild mountains and barren mountains, hoping to protect himself from danger and find peace.
The Miao people almost passed away from the world a hundred years ago. They always regard survival as the most important thing. Food, a major city and town active in the secular world, has achieved great success through hardships, reborn from the ashes, and turned around magnificently, allowing the world to see the tenacity of the Jewish nation and the incomparable achievements made by the progress of human civilization.
Xijiang is a transliteration of Miao language, which means the place where the Xishi branch of the Miao nationality lives in seclusion. At that time, the Miao people in Xijiang fled here. Because of the steep mountain and the difficulty of attacking and defending, they thought they could defend themselves, so they lived here and multiplied. Over the years, it has become the largest village inhabited by Miao people in the world today. .
There are more than a thousand Miao villages in Xijiang, all in the stilted buildings on the hillside, while the Baishui River meanders, and the villages are inadvertently divided into stilted buildings on both sides of the bank, hidden in the green hills, nestled next to the green water, From the foot of the mountain to the hillside, and then to the top of the mountain, the clouds have accumulated in thousands of years, accumulating precipitation, lingering with mountains and cloud springs, nourishing the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon, so far it has been a magnificent sight!
The stilted buildings in Xijiang are either standing tall by the water, or built on the mountain, never leaving the Qingyue on the left and right, never abandoning the beautiful water for a moment, exposed to the clear blue sky all day long, and gently caressed by white clouds, gentle and graceful. Demure, like a small family jasper, amidst the simplicity and simplicity of the garden, the innocence of life and the simplicity of time flow out.
"Warm and warm Yuanren Village, smoke in Yiyi Ruins. Dogs bark in the deep alley, chickens crow and mulberry trees stand on top." It was originally a place far away from noise and luxury, and it also has a unique atmosphere through the ages, which is fascinating and eye-catching. Do not turn. It's a pity that the introduction of city-like dazzling lights, in the dark night, shines like a river of stars, shining in the sky. However, the gold and jade are bright and beautiful on the outside, and the emptiness and shallowness are born inside, leaving the root and chasing the end, making the scene of "lying in the dead of night, the moon rises from the mountains and the light enters the door" disappear one after another, and finally become a passing cloud, which makes people sad and unbearable Sigh.
In all fairness, in addition to Diaojiaolou, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village also has remarkable features. Youfang Street, Ancient Street, Fengyu Bridge, Gage Ancient Alley, and Observation Deck are among the most impressive places, especially "Hongqianfeng Stand up, not follow the usual flow."
The Baishui River is crystal clear, passes through the village, twists and turns, "clean and gentle", and there are seven Fengyu Bridges lying on it, connecting the two banks, making it easy to enter and exit, adding a sense of tranquility and remoteness.
Miaojia's Wind and Rain Bridge is made of Chinese fir, and the seamless connection is made by chiseled tenon, which does not require nails and riveting, and its structure is solid, which is also due to the oblique and vertical interlacing of wooden tenons. Its appearance is a stone pier bridge or a stone arch bridge, and it is supplemented by corridors and pavilions. It is built with pagodas, which are intended to store energy, block wind, shelter from wind and rain, and facilitate residents' access. Among them, the No. 1 stone arch wind and rain bridge is more Its arch is built with blue stones, and it is uploaded with a corridor-style bridge pavilion. The top is built with a tower in the center, and the pavilion is placed on the two wings.
Youfang Street and Ancient Street in Miao Village are the two main roads. The former follows the Baishui River like a shadow, and the latter twists and turns in the hinterland of the Miao Village. The two streets meet at the No. 1 Fengyu Bridge in the southeast and converge at the North A street of specialty snacks.
"Youfang" comes from the sound of Miao language, which means "date", so Youfang Street is a place for talking about love. In the middle of the village, Yuzi travels around, and Moss makes a living: near the water-quiet and clear, across the river-thousands of peaks compete with each other, near the bridge-stormy. The right time and place are perfect, people and people add to each other, isn't a golden and jade marriage destined by heaven?
Therefore, Youfang Street focuses on the collection of Miao culture, and the display of Miao people's inheritance. Although there are many places to drink, eat and get drunk, Yu Zi still feels the feelings of the Miao family. In contrast, the ancient street is a world of trade and relocation, especially food, which is almost everywhere, occupying most of the street, while other shops are the same.
Obviously, the ancient street is full of ancient flavor because of its meandering trend, which is well deserved. The stilted buildings are next to each other, and have withstood the erosion of thousands of years. Under the eaves of their pale faces, there are either oil lamps or lanterns hanging, which has a long ancient charm; or corn or peppers are hung, which is brilliant yellow and red. The long time flies by in the ordinary from ancient times to the present, so when you are in it, you suddenly travel through time and encounter the Wuling Peach Blossom Spring written by Mr. Wuliu (about 365-427) "I don't know the Han, regardless of the Wei and Jin Dynasties".
Gage, in Miao language and Chinese, means a short alley, so the ancient alley of Gage is actually an original ecological street. It is far away, and No. 1 Fengfeng Bridge is also within sight.
Above the ancient alley hangs colorful oil-paper umbrellas, showing the charm of the south of the Yangtze River; on both sides of the ancient alley, there are rows of wooden houses, which look old-fashioned, and the walls are made of wood, all of which are bright red, painted with many colored paintings, looking like they are alive. The ancient alley is about 150 meters long, filled with many Miao cultural totems and elements, including Miao embroidery, handmade paper, wine making, old silver village, batik, ancient song hall, etc. The ancient rhyme is lingering, and the light and simple time follows Become warm and fragrant.
The viewing platform is really the highlight of the Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, and it is also a place where visitors must experience it for themselves, and it is worthy of special mention. Pass No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge, board the car and go up to the viewing platform, go west all the way, and turn around. When the car arrived at the ancient well, it turned to the north for half a mile, and the famous viewing platform was in sight.
The observation deck is not just for viewing, it is a commercial world itself, but it has no feeling of "even though it is small, it is precious". It is full of restaurants and inns, tea shops and snacks, and there are many shops, which are completely different from the outside, but all of them are "researching mulberry and thinking about it."
"Climb high and look for a long time, the wind is soft and the scenery is warm." Leaning on the railing on the viewing platform, the stilted buildings of the Qianhu Miao family are stretching among thousands of valleys, row upon row, and the houses face each other. The charming lights illuminate the stars and the moon, creating a myriad of amorous feelings.
The hour of death is the best time for viewing from the viewing platform. "Seeing the rising of the cooking smoke, and the twilight covering the earth", through the wisps of cooking smoke, time seems to turn back, and I saw the ancient appearance of the Miao Village in peace and tranquility, and everyone's life is as old as it is, and at night the star bridge fire trees The mountain full of lights is nothing more than a feast of excitement and entertainment, dazzled at the beginning, then shaken at the end, unbearable to chew in the middle, and tastes like chewing wax.
"Long-term scenery should be seen in the long-term." On-set performances and the proliferation of commercialization have made the traditional essence of the Miao family become vulgar and vain. Returning to the ordinary, the original taste, just like the daily life of the ancestors of the Miao nationality, each living in peace, surrounded by clouds and clouds, not surprised by favor or disgrace, this kind of world and style is the sustainable future of the Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang.
