Traveling to Guizhou, in addition to appreciating the natural landscapes such as Huangguoshu Waterfall and Fanjing Mountain, tasting food such as fish in sour soup and long table banquets, you must also understand the rich local ethnic culture. When it comes to the national culture of Guizhou, one has to think of the Miao villages hidden in the mountains in the southeast of Guizhou. Among them, there are not only well-known Miao villages like Qianhu Miao Village, the largest Miao village in the world, but also scattered like pearls. Most of the small Miao villages among the mountains have well preserved their own architectural style and folk culture, so they all look relatively simple and peaceful.

Among the many Miao Villages, Langde Miao Village, which belongs to Leishan County like Qianhu Miao Village, is the best among them, because he even has many honors that are not inferior to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, such as the hometown of hundreds of festivals in China, the Chinese The hometown of folk art, the national key cultural relics protection unit, the Chinese landscape village, the first batch of traditional villages in China, and the 2008 Olympic torch was passed here. It can be said that before the Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village was not famous, Langde Miao Village was It is the most famous Miao village in Guizhou.

Langde is located in the hinterland of Miaoling Mountain, 27 kilometers southeast of Kaili City. It is divided into two natural villages, Langde Shangzhai and Langde Xiazhai. According to historical records, Langde Miao Village was built in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, with a history of more than 670 years. There are hundreds of families in Langde, and the costumes of the Miao people in the village are characterized by long skirts, so they are also called "long skirt Miao".

If you want to enter the stockade, you must go through 12 barriers with a sense of ritual (of course, you don’t have to drink it, you can drink it if you want to, and you won’t force it if you can’t. More experience is a sense of ritual), which is right. Every guest who came from afar gave the warmest welcome. The whole village was lined up along the hillside. The sisters and sisters of the Miao family were dressed in costumes and sang songs, standing in order in the gate of the village. , Holding an ox horn cup and looking at every visitor with a smile, the older brothers and younger brothers of the Miao family played the melodious reeds, and even the elderly and children joined the welcome team. I really fully felt the enthusiasm and hospitality of the Miao family.

The same twelve gate wines, both Qianhu Miao Village and Langde Shangzhai, but in comparison, Qianhu Miao Village lined up the ceremony on the square in front of the gate, which looks more spectacular , while the Langde Miao Village set up the gate wine on the field path entering the village, which is more down-to-earth and more original.

As sung in the popular song "My Motherland" during this period, "When friends come, there will be good wine", the Miao family used their own rice wine to entertain guests from afar. For a long time, each dish has a different metaphor, representing: congratulations wine, kind wine, hardworking wine, brave wine, smart wine, beautiful wine, sensible wine, honest wine, generous wine, longevity wine, rich wine, happy wine, Look, what a metaphor?

In addition to the enthusiastic bar wine, if you come to the village at the right time, you can also see the traditional singing and dancing of the Miao nationality twice a day, such as Miao flying songs, reed dances, bronze drums, golden pheasant dances, group dances... and so on. Miao folk songs and dances.

The Miao people are a nation full of disasters and disasters, and they are also good at singing and dancing. In their words, they should learn to sing when they just learned to speak, and dance when they just learned to walk. Songs and dances have been integrated into their lives. Among them, it has become an innate ability.

Among the many programs, the most eye-catching one is the reed performance. Among the ten reed performers, eight of them are old people, and one of them is over eighty years old, with white beard and hair, but hale and hearty. Holding two or three-meter-long reeds in their hands, they walked in a unified pace, blowing cheerful melodies, and performed very attentively!

While watching the show, Yu Fan chatted with a few girls who had just participated in the performance and learned that none of the actors participating in the performance were hired professional actors, and all of them were locals from Langde Miao Village, and their performance was very low. , one dance is only 3-5 yuan, and two performances a day, the income is only 300-500 yuan a month;

The reason why they participate in the performance is not for money, but for their innate liking. They feel that dancing this kind of dance can make them happy, and they enjoy the process of welcoming guests from afar with dancing. Listening to such an answer, I am really happy for them, because this kind of extremely simple happiness is already beyond the reach of urbanites.

After watching the performance, you can also visit this simple and quiet village. Compared with Qianhu Miao Village, Langde Shangzhai is much smaller, but it also has its own charm. There are no bustling crowds, no complicated shops, There are no cafes and bistros where you can relax and relax. There are only accumulated vicissitudes, mottled wooden walls covered with moss, and stilted buildings that look crumbling. At the end, you can also visit the former residence of Yang Daliu, the hero in the village, who is said to be one of the leaders of the peasant uprising in the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, he stepped on the horse and was so brave that the Qing soldiers were so frightened that they asked, "Who is he?" But the Miao people praised him: "Yang Daluo!" Extremely" means. Qing soldiers didn't understand Miao dialect, so they mistakenly thought that the hero who took the lead was called "Yang Daliu", so they wrote a book, and Yang Daliu got his name from this.
