[Written in front] After being in a cage for a long time, I can return to nature
Taking advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, I was isolated from the world with my sixth uncle in the mountains for two days, and lived the life I longed for.
Get up early in the morning and pick a lot of wild flowers and weeds in the misty mountains, and use the decanter of the hotel as a vessel for flower arrangement;
Pick the fresh peppers grown at the door, pick the peppers dried in the small courtyard as condiments, and cook in the kitchen with a superb view;
Find the local villagers to drink and talk about the mountains anytime and anywhere, and listen to them sing the oldest Miao songs. Of course, the price is their most gracious way of hospitality-being poured with alcohol;
Learn to make zongzi; greet everyone who passes by;
Fight wits and courage with the big rooster that can crow all day long;
Sit on the highest roof and watch the scenery of the whole village...
From then on, I have another paradise in my heart, which is great~~
The village we stayed in this time is called Baiyan Village. It is a small village in Leishan County, Qiandongnan, Guizhou. It is about 45 minutes' drive from Kaili Railway Station and about half an hour's drive from Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. It is in the mountains A particularly quiet, simple and fresh village in the surrounding area.
1. Live the longing life in Baiyan Village
I think everyone will yearn for such a picture: open the curtains in the morning, the window is full of green, the mist slowly travels from far to near in the valley, and everything is gradually waking up in a leisurely manner.
At this moment, I want to sleep in bed secretly, and I want to get up and rush to its embrace because of the strange and familiar yearning for the wild world.
Fortunately, the big rooster downstairs mercilessly interrupted your thoughts, and the clear crowing sound after another, urged me to get off the ground quickly, otherwise the sun will rise, and there will be another scenery outside the window.
Living in such a room, it is needless to say that the dream is perfect, except that the alarm clocks of the birds are so early in the morning, everything is perfect.
Uncle Six and I couldn't wait to come to the field ridges in the mountains, trying to chase the sea of clouds, but found that these guys were drifting to the farther and higher mountains, only showing a little tail for us to miss.
In the mountains in the morning, the most beautiful thing is to take a deep breath~~
In a short while, you will find that the worry just now is unnecessary, and there will be a steady stream of large groups of fog, and you want to hold them in your hands quickly. Of course, the best thing is to put them in a bottle and take them home. Tell every friend who comes to the house to be a guest, look, this is the cloud I caught by myself~~
Due to the lightning, thunder, storm and rain last night, the fields in the morning were still moist, and I suddenly thought of these two sentences of Tao Yuanming: The road is narrow, the grass and trees grow, and the evening dew stains my clothes. Although it is morning dew at the moment, it does not hinder Aunt Tianqing's elegance in pretending to recite poems~~
(I am very pleased that such a poem can pop up in my scarce poetry library)
But how can I always be immersed in the little joy of self-satisfaction, so I discovered something new~
You see, the wild flowers in the grass are blooming vigorously. If you look carefully, there is more than one species. Who said that wild flowers are unknown, for the wild flowers blooming wantonly all over the mountains and plains, I suddenly have an urge to learn more about them.
So I picked a large bouquet of wild flowers and wanted to take them back to my residence.
I secretly say sorry to nature in my heart, please allow my little selfishness to pick wild flowers for myself.
Not to mention, these flowers do not compete or grab, but they are also very good photo props.
Although they are not the kind of domineering eye-catching beauty, nor the kind of stunning beauty, but when you look closely, each flower has its own posture, with a free and simple beauty, which people who understand will naturally appreciate. kind.
In fact, I also really want to be such a person, who is low-key, simple, calm and natural like a wild flower, grows wanton and full of vitality, is always stubborn and full of vitality, does not want to fight, and has someone who understands to understand and approach.
Because I am not a person who loves to get close deliberately, I especially like every relationship that goes with the flow.
The fog is gradually receding, and the sky is gradually getting brighter. It's time to go back to have breakfast~~
Back at the homestay, this big rooster was still crowing. I thought its crowing was limited to the early morning, but I spent a whole day to prove that its crowing can last a whole day! And it's every three to five minutes!
I can't help but wonder: Is it a fighting chicken among roosters?
But in the afternoon, its chirping sound turned into a hoarse smoke, and my sixth uncle and I were ecstatic, this guy is finally called hoarse! ~~It’s really a day of fighting wits and courage with the fighting chickens~~
Later, I found out that this guy was a cockfighting cock. It turned out that cockfighting and birdfighting are very popular in Guizhou. Almost every household raises birds. (The virgin bitch feels that this activity is a bit cruel)
so! We read that right! This is really a fighting chicken! (Awe-inspiring, I wish you invincibility!)
The little brothers and sisters of the homestay have already prepared breakfast, which are coarse grains with an idyllic atmosphere, pure natural and pollution-free.
After breakfast, I couldn’t wait to arrange the flowers. Taking advantage of the water droplets on the wild flowers and grasses, I thought they were very delicate trimming and trimming, and completed a series of sacred and ceremonial [Bottle Ceremony] .
I was still thinking to myself: You are the girls I personally selected to enter the palace, you should be proud~~
The bottle-entry ceremony was completed quickly. The bottle is a decanter turned out of the homestay. After simple packaging, it has transformed into a new residence for wild flowers. Of course, there are also wine bottles, casserole, glass cups, etc., which are all excellent vases. , For these creative discoveries, I accidentally started to have a small sense of satisfaction again.
Suddenly, I realized that the material conditions are not very sufficient. Affluent areas or life stages are often more able to stimulate people's creativity and ability to discover beauty. This is probably one of the most important reasons why I yearn for primitive and natural life.
The flower arrangement is complete! The girls who entered the palace took a group photo~!
Facts have proved that I really have a good understanding of them. Every wild flower that I thought I would not be able to find a name has a loud and proud name. After careful understanding, some of them are still excellent herbs with magical effects. ~
What cute little guys~~
So if you stay here for a long time, you will be able to call the name of each plant and understand the use of each plant.
The restaurant of the B&B has large floor-to-ceiling windows with excellent views. Here, the green will spread in all directions, as if you will chew the sweet taste of grass when you swallow food~~
It is still a desktop decorated with wild flowers~~
I am also very envious of the people here, who can exchange fresh and beautiful bouquets of free combinations every day~
After breakfast, we went out, walked around the village at will, and visited several folk artists with excellent skills.
When I came to the door of Uncle Zhang’s house, I saw it sitting and working under the grape trellis from a distance. Uncle Zhang is a craftsman who makes wooden spoons, and he does all the cutting and polishing of firewood by himself.
In his eyes, year after year, it is enough to do such a thing well with heart.
Uncle Zhang said that he is also getting old and hopes to pass on his skills to young people. But today's young people are impatient and feel that such a job is not profitable, so he is particularly worried about the loss of craftsmanship.
Although this seems to be a job that does not make money and requires a lot of energy, it is Uncle Zhang's lifelong sustenance.
These are wooden spoons made by Uncle Zhang. The small ones will take about a day or two to complete, while the big ones will take longer.
Dedicated people are lovely and worthy of respect. In this village, there are many villagers like Uncle Zhang who rely on handicrafts to survive. The material requirements for them are not high, and doing the things in front of them is probably the most practical thing in their life.
Then we came to another villager's house who made benches. He happened to be away, and we were greeted by his wife.
Dressed in a local Miao style, she smiles innocently and cutely.
Wearing this flower-shaped decoration on the top of the head is a traditional way for Miao girls.
Although the owner is not there, it does not prevent us from visiting his [studio].
The big words of hard work on the wall made me smell sweat.
The yellow dust here and there is the accumulation of sawdust over the years.
Yellowed electric fans and tools, though crude in appearance, are essential tools for making a living.
Leaving the big bench, we inadvertently saw another old family making wooden barrels.
Still these most primitive materials, through their wise hands, each barrel becomes sacred and solemn. I admire such hands from the bottom of my heart, they are simple and warm, as if there is nothing they can't make.
So I thought of my grandpa, and thought of the thousands of old people living in the mountains and forests. They rely on mountains to eat mountains, and spend their lives relying on hard work and kindness. Their tears and laughter are all witnessed by Dashan.
Seeing this painting on wood, I suddenly realized that it is the best portrayal of the life of the people here.
Before we knew it, it was lunch time, and we came to visit the village secretary's house.
As soon as we entered, we found many Miao women eating and chatting together. Seeing us, they quickly moved out the pots, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and greeted us to eat together.
Of course, the first thing to greet you is the most traditional way of welcoming guests of the Miao people - drinking!
I, who have always been incapacitated by alcohol, dare not drink too much, but I can't resist their fiery enthusiasm, so I can only put down all my worries and drink happily, come on! Do as the Romans do!
The food here is simple and rude. A pot of pork stewed with salt, a bowl of chili condiment, and a pot of stir-fried spicy meat are their most gracious hospitality.
We just ate a few mouthfuls, and the hostess filled the pot again. It is said that in the eyes of the people here, the host does not allow the contents of the pot to go down, otherwise it will appear unenthusiastic. So as much as the guests eat, they add as much to it, and always keep the contents of the pot at the same height!
The dish on the top is a classic traditional dish of the Miao family-an soup.
Almost every household of the Miao people has jars for pickled food, which are collectively called sour jars. Antang is when the living conditions of the Miao people were not very good at that time. The leftovers at home were sprinkled with salt and other seasonings to keep them together, so as to pickle them into a sour taste. This dish was featured on CCTV.
But this dish, the smell is really indescribable. After all, it is marinated with leftovers (you can make up your mind...), and it is served with pig blood, pig intestines, and pig offal (you guys Let’s continue to make up my mind...), but I was still tempted by a pot of chili and sauerkraut. I tried it and found it didn’t smell so terrible. In the end, I ate all the pig’s intestines with soup and rice. A model of doing as the Romans do.
However, the fact is that I only learned about Antang's practice after the fact...
After eating and eating, everyone drank again.
When you get here, you will find that all the rules, personal settings, and rules you have made for yourself are all useless. The vigilance and small principles will naturally be destroyed by the hospitality of the people here, and the rest is to be wholehearted. Into this passionate meal, unconsciously melted in those smiles and voices.
Dry! After drinking this bowl, have another bowl!
The people here are really happy. During the banquet, they played and joked, and everyone laughed like a flower. I was so happy from the bottom of my heart.
Here, happiness and joy are their simplest survival rules.
After dinner, the entertainment program is that they sing traditional folk songs. But in return, we had to drink two bowls of wine each.
Before leaving, they will say goodbye to you in a sincere way, and this way is to drink two bowls of wine each.
The owner said, welcome to come again next time, and continue to drink.
I can't count how much I drank, my face is red and my neck is red, but it's true that I'm very happy, and it's true that I want to drink again next time.
Thank you for letting me know myself again. It turns out that my drinking capacity is not too bad~
Bringing a thick blush back to the hotel, the sun shines through the wooden structure of the house at this moment, everything looks so gentle and beautiful.
I live in the only B&B in the village, "Baimei Village B&B". It was jointly built by the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation and the Samsung Group. It is mainly for targeted poverty alleviation and driving the local economy. So it is also a very meaningful thing~
I would also like to thank this homestay for being located here, giving me the opportunity to get in touch with the local customs and customs here so closely, allowing me to relax in the arms of the mountains and get to know myself better~
It is said that these wood and lighting decorations are all made by the villagers themselves, all of which are wild and primitive~~
When I got back to the room, I really felt that the alcohol was a bit high, and I fell into a deep sleep immediately when I lay down on the bed.
Wait, who said just now that the drinking capacity is not bad! ?
After sleeping all afternoon, I finally regained my strength, and I am going to go to the village with Uncle Liu to experience the idyllic scenery~~
When you look at the sky in the mountains, you can only use four words to describe it: the wind and the clouds are changing.
We were walking on the only main road in the village, and when we passed the door of the village secretary’s house, our hearts were still a little tense. Who knows if we will meet the hostess in the next second, and then be pulled in for a drink... Hahaha... …
The architectural style here is this kind of stilted building. The most basic feature of Diaojiaolou is that the main house is built on the ground, and the wing rooms are connected to the main house except one side leaning on the ground, and the other three sides are suspended in the air and supported by pillars.
It is said that the stilted building has many advantages. The high ground is not only ventilated and dry, but also can prevent poisonous snakes and wild animals, and sundries can be placed under the floor. Diaojiaolou also has distinct national characteristics. The elegant "silk eaves" and generous "walking rails" make the Diaojiaolou unique.
From a distance, these stilted buildings are like shining stars in the starry sky sprinkled with vast mountains.
And at this moment, I really want to hug these stars.
Just walking aimlessly in the village like this, obviously everything is new to me. It’s amazing to say that the small world these villagers live on is a novel big world for us. I keep exploring the trees they have seen on the road they walked. I want to know about mountains and hanging buildings and here every inch of land.
Seeing an old lady sharpening a knife, she went up and chatted for a while. People here are very willing to chat with strangers and are rarely defensive.
With the light shining on the window, I feel that the time here is so slow and lazy, and the pace will slow down unconsciously.
The only canteen in the village. How many children's dreams and expectations are hidden in this colorful little world~~
Uncle Liu and I found a high platform with a great view, but there was no shelter around it. I was afraid of heights and walked on it. Even the breeze blew and I felt like I was going to float down~~
Sometimes I feel that the bigger a person is, the more things he will be afraid of. For example, for the fear of heights, this girl used to be a heroine who climbed walls and climbed trees, but as she grew older, she began to I am in awe of these things, afraid of what will happen if I fall, this annoying rationality~~
So it's best to be a child~~
But the view here is really good, you can see the whole village. The rice fields of the Miao nationality are all built along the mountains, which change with the changes of the mountain topography. The height of the hillside, the gentleness of the slope and the size of the hillside determine the size and shape of the terraced fields.
Uncle Liu sat on this platform without railings and took a jio~ This is also the cleanest commemoration of this pair of white shoes this trip...
A little safflower that appeared in the green bushes has become the most charming existence here.
Seeing a big pear tree at the corner of the field, the fruits were not yet ripe, hanging on the branches one by one was very lively, I couldn't help tiptoeing and kissing them.
I thought of my hometown. As early as 20 years ago, I followed my parents to a foreign land to settle down, and I had my own foothold. But my hometown is still that pure, natural and simple place in my mind, shining forever in my heart.
Suddenly, I realized that my inseparable feelings for the mountains and the big countryside all came from the longing for my hometown~
Every time I see a motorcycle, there is always a sense of getting rich and well-off~
The rice fields here are not ordinary rice fields, and all of them are raised with fish, which is the legendary "fish farming in rice fields".
Fish farming in rice fields can make full use of the water layer space to form an ecological chain of rice and fish, which not only eliminates the use of pesticides, but also improves the quality of rice and increases farmers' income. In the process of foraging, the fish eat the small insects and weeds in the field to remove the pests, and the excrement produced becomes the fertilizer of the rice fields. At the same time, it will loosen the soil and promote the growth of rice. Generally, rice can increase the yield by 10%.
I ran across the field ridge, and from time to time some naughty fish jumped up from the field in shock, as if they were cheering me on~
Brothers, Excuse me~
I picked a wild flower and put it on my head, feeling the simplest beauty of nature.
The air in Baiyan Village is almost pure, and the body temperature on cloudy days really makes people feel very comfortable.
Uncle Liu said that on the way from the high-speed rail station, he didn't see a factory, and his old sore throat was healed here.
Walking among the terraced fields, it seems that I have returned to the childhood when I was catching grasshoppers in the fields.
Well, this is so beautiful, or stay and contract these fields!
Here, I feel my insignificance and the magnificence of nature.
I just want to embrace nature at the moment~~
Gradually it cleared up, revealing a clear sky.
Guizhou is a beautiful place both sunny and rainy. On a sunny day, the sky must be a highly saturated blue, which makes the trees and mountains particularly emerald green, and the clear blue and green make the eyes particularly comfortable; on rainy days in Guizhou, the mountains and trees suddenly turn into a deep dark green, accompanied by clouds and mist. The mountainside is like an ink painting, so I don’t worry about rain at all in Guizhou, and I even look forward to it raining~~
Back at the B&B, you can arrange dinner. It was just in time for the Dragon Boat Festival, so everyone decided to make zongzi. I have no experience in making zongzi, and I learned new skills from the young ladies here, pretending to be decent.
I enjoyed this zongzi-making activity. We cooperated with each other and honed our new skills.
Guess which ones are my masterpieces~~
Facing the kitchen with this kind of scenery, cooking becomes much more comfortable.
The ladies and sisters of the homestay showed their own specialties~~
During the cooking period, villagers will come to visit. This kind of backpack is the standard equipment for bringing children here.
Do-it-yourself meals are coming! ! The combination of Chinese and Western tastes very good~~
The advantage of living here is that you can cook whatever you want, and you can fully integrate into the life here, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. When you come here, you are no longer a guest, you can feel like a host for a few days ~~
The sunset here is very late, more than an hour later than Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. The sun goes down. Sitting on the stone steps at the door after dinner, leisurely watching everything is shining with gentle light, it is probably the most beautiful moment of the day.
Occasionally turn over the little peppers drying at the door~
It is not uncommon to be able to eat spicy food in Guizhou, but it is more unusual to not eat spicy food~
In front of the homestay is the peppercorns grown by ourselves, which can be picked at any time for cooking. In fact, I also really like the joy of being able to eat what I grow at any time.
The sun gradually faded and slanted on the vines in the village.
Occasionally, villagers passing by would sit on the stone slabs and rest their feet. These villagers are quite old and live a self-sufficient life every day, with a comfortable and fulfilling heart. They may not know much about the outside world, and the only thing they want to do is to live every day well. Being poor or rich doesn't seem to matter that much.
So I leaned over to take a photo with my grandma, and my grandma asked me enthusiastically if I had eaten. In fact, I also secretly saw her hands, which were already covered with traces of life, her skin was dark but her eyes were shining brightly, like little bright stars here at night.
Here we seldom look at mobile phones, do not surf the Internet, and like to stand or sit by the field in a daze. Sometimes we think it is quite boring, but we think life should have some boring time, so that you have time to think, such as thinking Where should one stop.
The sun shines on the wooden house here, which looks very gentle and careful.
It was also when I came here that I discovered that the sky and the earth can be so vast.
During the day, occasionally, a large cloud will float over, holding raindrops in its arms, overflowing without paying attention, and then it will slowly walk away, taking the raindrops away carefully~~Look, how cute it is O clouds and rain!
It is still my favorite stone step. Sitting on this step and looking at the scenery has become my favorite thing to do in Baiyan Village. It seems that this is the answer I am looking for in my boring daily work and life. It seems that I have returned to my childhood and no longer want to act. Adults in real life, tired of acting, this is your childhood home, let you be a child again.
As the sky gradually darkened, the homestay was lit up with warm lights, and it seemed that only here was the brightest in the whole village.
When it was getting darker, I suddenly discovered that the brighter things were the fireflies all over the mountains and the stars covering the entire sky.
So I stood on the high place of the field, as if standing on a huge stage, with crickets, bugs and frogs all behind me, as if I am the center of all things in the world at this moment, and I can run on my own regardless of everything The tiny planet in the world is the original self that is independent and complete without distracting thoughts.
So at this moment, I really want to embrace myself like this.
It is the best self who has gone through thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers.
Many times we will want to understand a lot of things at an inadvertent moment, especially in the embrace of nature, perhaps that is the moment closest to our original appearance. It's nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city once in a while and be a kid for two days.
Look, there are many stars in the sky!
I was originally a child in the mountains, but here I feel like I have returned to my childhood~~
Running in the fields, picking wild flowers, looking at the stars, catching fireflies, Jay Chou sang, the country songs will always rely on~
Now there is silence outside, only the sound of frogs, crickets and unknown birds chirping. I suddenly think of those childhood friends who have accompanied me growing up, and I feel warm in my heart.
Sleep well tonight, good night~~
2. Go to Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village to be a Miao girl
About 30 minutes' drive from Baiyan Village is the largest Miao village in the country - Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village.
It is currently the second largest tourist card in Guizhou tourism after Huangguoshu Waterfall. There are more than 1,000 households, so it is called Qianhu Miao Village. It is composed of more than ten natural villages built on the mountain. The Baishui River flows through and divides the village into two. In the scenic area, you can experience the clothing accessories of the Miao people and watch the Miao singing and dancing performances.
TIPS: Tickets are 110 yuan/person, and your tickets can take 4 sightseeing cars in the scenic area.
As soon as we arrived in Miao Village, we first went to the residence to settle down. It is about a ten-minute walk from the entrance of the scenic spot to the inn. It is recommended not to bring too much luggage, because we are going to live on the mountain, so walk from the main street of the scenic spot to the mountain, and test your physical strength every minute with your luggage.
(If you are really unable to support or get lost, you can call the front desk. The little brother at the front desk is really dedicated to carrying luggage back and forth every day, so I think if you can, you should rely on yourself.)
There are many accommodations in Miao Village, but it is recommended to live in a higher place, so that you can see the night view and the whole Miao Village with a good view.
This is the hotel we live in, and there are places to see the scenery everywhere.
This is the first floor of our room. The decoration style of the inn is this kind of pure natural wood and simple style, which is naturally integrated with the scenery of the scenic spot. In fact, the inn was also remodeled by local residents, so it retains its consistent characteristics.
The view from the balcony, I have already begun to imagine the picture of me sitting here at night enjoying the night view~~
But the surprise is still to come. Tonight was actually lightning and thunder, which made me feel a different kind of Xijiang Miao Village~~
The second floor of the inn is such a loft, and there is a large bathtub for decoration (the word decoration can be said to be well understood hahaha)
There are also some old and small objects, some are covered with dust, and some leaves are withered, but they complement the overall style of the place.
There is a tavern on the side of the road from the inn to the foot of the mountain. We plan to come here for a drink in the evening~~
I have to admit that in the past few days in Guizhou, I have not been able to drink more, but I have become more courageous. Now I have finally started to demand myself by the standards of adults. Drinking a little wine will really make people happy~ ~
The two cuties I saw on the side of the road were all wearing bright lipsticks. Who will guess the number of lipsticks?
The only uphill road leading to the inn is the main street, and the Gage Ancient Alley is directly opposite.
Gage means small alley in Miao language. Gage Ancient Road not only refers to an ancient alley, but also generally refers to the many original ecological alleys in Qianhu Miao Village.
The alley is not big, but it contains many cultural symbols of the Miao nationality, such as Miao embroidery, wine making, batik, ancient papermaking, Miao silver and other unique original ecological Miao cultural characteristics.
There is a pond at the corner of the alley. This is where the elder brothers and sisters of the Miao family perform the wedding customs and song and dance performances of the Miao family. The scenery here is beautiful, and the reflection in the water is even more beautiful.
Coincidentally, I ran into the performance of the elder brother of the Miao family pursuing his younger sister. The elder brother of the Miao family in the front row was blowing out a tune with leaves. It is amazing to say that the Miao songs blown out by such a thin leaf are actually very authentic, beautiful and beautiful.
Blow Ye, called "Black Dragon" in the Miao people, was originally used for folk self-entertainment, labor and leisure, and to express love to the girl you like, and it is also used to simulate and lure animals to approach when hunting. There is a very interesting saying among the Miao people: "Blow the leaves while they are young, and fall in love when you are young." , only using leaves without a matchmaker." Konoha is also a media instrument for young men and women of ethnic minorities to convey love.
Then Uncle Six and I rushed to another performance place to watch the reeds and dances of the Miao people. It was a scene of excitement.
This is the unique way of hospitality of the Miao people - high mountains and flowing water. There are five so-called "high mountains and flowing water" jugs, with a flow height of one meter and 2 catties of wine in the jug. The Miao family express their enthusiasm for the guests from afar by toasting in this way.
Whether you can drink or not, whether you want to drink or not, you must drink. Five bowls and six bowls are the beginning, and ten bowls and eight bowls are just emerging. It is said that there are at most 99 bowls connected with one piece of high mountain and flowing water.
Even Uncle Six, who had a decent capacity for alcohol, was so frightened to hide back when he saw this scene.
It is said that these singing grandparents are all in their 80s and 90s, and they can still sing moving Miao songs. Although I can't understand the language of the Miao people, I can hear the most sincere and simple charm from it. The host said that Mother Butterfly was the creator of human beings. When I went back to do my homework, I learned that Mother Butterfly came from the myth and legend of the Miao people in Southeast Guizhou, "Miao Ancient Songs", and was the ancestor of the Miao people in Southeast Guizhou. Miao language, that is, Mother Butterfly), so the Miao people in Qiandongnan regard Mother Butterfly as the ancestor of human beings.
Suddenly, I deeply realized the diversity and richness of national cultures. It is precisely because I can feel different national cultures so closely and truly that I feel that the whole country and the world are so colorful and lovely.
After watching the show, get ready to have a good meal. I have been acquainted with the local "fish in sour soup" for a long time, and finally I am going to taste it myself.
Fish in sour soup is a kind of fish cooked in sour soup made by the Miao people. It is rated as one of the top ten classic dishes of Guizhou in "Chinese Cuisine".
Among the many sour soups in Guizhou, Miaojia sour soup is the most famous. It is unique in that it is rich in sour and fragrant, and it is a traditional famous dish of the Miao nationality. The Miao people live in the mountains, where the mountains are high and the roads are far away. Almost every family has acid altars. There may be one or two altars, several or even dozens of altars. The sour soup brewed by the Miao family is brewed from the spring water on the high mountain and the glutinous glutinous rice planted by itself.
(Suddenly thought of the soup that I ate yesterday, whether the recipe is exactly the same...)
I personally think that the fish in sour soup tastes tender and smooth, so you must try it when you come to Guizhou. However, it tastes a bit like Tom Yum Kung soup. I only found out after asking the store. It turns out that the fish in sour soup has lemongrass in it, so the taste still has the feeling of Tom Yum Kung soup.
Stir-fried ciba with bacon~ Don’t look at such a simple dish, the ciba tastes super delicious, and the bacon is also fat but not greasy, especially delicious.
People in Guizhou really love potatoes, they are good at eating potatoes, and they love making potatoes. The potatoes in Guizhou are really soft and glutinous. If you don’t believe me, try it~~
Walking in the alley after dinner, you will see a shop selling Miao medicine from time to time.
Miao medicine refers to the Chinese herbal medicines that are planted and grown in the Miaoling Mountains, Wumeng Mountains, Wuling Mountains, Western Hubei Mountains, Damiao Mountains and Hainan Mountain Deng areas where the Miao people live. It is an important part of Miao medicine in my country and an organic part of Chinese herbal medicines in my country.
Since I was a child, the name of Miao medicine has been shining in my limited medical dictionary, because from time to time, I can see small shops with Miao family’s exclusive formula for acne, clear complexion, and treatment of various diseases springing up in modern cities, and the number of Every day. I always think that it has a foothold today, and it should have a certain effect.
I have always heard that the commercial atmosphere here is very strong. In fact, it is very similar to the ancient towns such as Wuzhen and Xitang here, and a certain commercial operation mode has been formed. But the only difference is that here exudes the traditional atmosphere of the Miao nationality. As a starting point to experience different ethnic cultures, I think it is worth visiting here.
Local refrigerator magnets that must be bought every time you travel.
The wine culture in Guizhou is truly well-deserved. No matter where you go, there are stalls selling all kinds of wine.
Are you happy? ?
As the star of "Favorite Local Vegetable Market", Sister Tianqing will naturally not let go of the only vegetable market in the entire Miao Village. However, it turns out that this so-called vegetable market is really small, probably a secret base for vegetable and fruit trading spontaneously formed by the villagers.
But looking at the various fresh fruits in the basket, I really want to try it.
Strongly recommend this kind of small green grapes from Guizhou, super super sweet, after eating, I will never forget the series~~
I saw a cutie eating noodles seriously.
There is a snack street not far away. You must try the special black haired pork barbecue here. Ten yuan and ten skewers are really delicious~~
Today I finally witnessed the legendary pig nose with onions...
...pretending to be...
There are really a lot of snacks in the snack street. In addition to the black haired pork just introduced, there are hairy tofu, sour plum soup, sour soup tofu, etc. You can try it... But what I want to ask is, please tell the picture above How many people are there?
Dangdangdangdang~~~ Enter the highlight of this Miao village tour - Miao clothing cross-dressing!
There are many stores in the scenic area that rent Miao costumes. Depending on the geographical location and the type of Miao clothing, the price ranges from 10 to 80 yuan. You can usually rent one for half an hour to an hour to take pictures and then return it.
Miao costumes are the most gorgeous of all ethnic costumes in my country. Silver ornaments, Miao embroidery and batik are the main features of Miao costumes. These colorful costumes are engraved with the historical changes of the nation after suffering, the longing for a better life and the concentration of the living environment throughout the ages. Historians call it: "a history book worn on the body."
The aunt wearing the Miao clothes seemed to have put on a magic spell, and she no longer had the ability to indulge and be funny.
Another cross-dressing attack with a collapsed human design ~~ No! May! laugh!
Where do you put your hands? How do you put your feet? How to smile more dignified?
oh no! ~~~
Pretending to be a happy Miao girl~~
Until I met the three of them...
Only then did I realize that I had been killed in seconds...
How is it that everyone's movements and postures are more standard and more enchanting than me!
Why is Sister Tianqing's playing path so narrow? ?
One of the unsolved mysteries of this trip...
The only happy thing is that I am glad that I was born in a place where I don't need to wear Miao clothes! ! Hahahahahahaha~~~
Every second I was saying to myself, hold tight, don't laugh!
Feel this gradually stiff smile...
Even so, my wish is still to visit 56 ethnic groups and wear 56 kinds of clothing...
The second unsolved mystery of this trip—Sister Tianqing actually became tall among the crowd? ? ?
There are grandparents in the pavilion rehearsing the chorus, guess how old they are together...
The Baishui River runs through the entire village and divides the village into two. This side of the river is a commercial pedestrian street, and the other side of the river is a viewing platform.
For dinner, I plan to try the popular Gengduji. After passing the No. 1 Fengyu Bridge, I have to climb a small hill to get there.
The decoration is also mixed with hunting culture and ethnic minority customs. The environment of the restaurant is still good. It is not in vain to climb this halfway up the mountain.
The menus here are all handwritten. It is said that the boss used to be a teacher and loves calligraphy.
I ordered a beef in sour soup. The portion of the dish is quite sufficient. The boss is very enthusiastic and personally comes over to cook the meat for each table of customers.
The beef should not be cooked for too long, the degree between raw and cooked is just right, not too chewy, and the taste is tender and soft.
This plate of salt and pepper mushrooms tastes good, but it is best to eat them while they are hot. The outside is charred and the inside is tender, crispy and delicious.
After dinner, we took the sightseeing bus to the viewing platform. The weather was not so good, we didn’t wait for the beautiful sunset, and there were too many people on the viewing platform. Uncle Liu said that he was really afraid to grab the seat with his grandpa and grandma. So I hurriedly finished and went back to the hotel.
But I have to say that when I stand on a high place and face such a landscape, my heart is still full of waves. Suddenly thinking that the motherland is so big, there are still many humanities and beautiful scenery worthy of our exploration and discovery. This is probably our original wish that has been walking non-stop.
Facts have proved that there is no need to crowd people on the viewing platform, and the sight of the inn is also excellent!
The lights of Qianhu Miao Village become very dreamy under the large aperture. I almost couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.
Suddenly Miao Village began to thunder and lightning, but the thunder was loud and the rain was little.
With such a huge stockade and such lightning, I almost shouted "Run, there are monsters"!
Taking advantage of the light rain, I went to the small bar next to me to sit. After I came to Guizhou, I felt like I became a little drunkard.
However, it was also in such an ancient city, under such lights, that the amount of alcohol became different from usual.
Such an environment is suitable for a little drunk.
Suddenly I found that I didn't do any strategy. I wandered around a village for a day, wasting my time slowly.
There is really no need for a strategy here, just follow your own footsteps wherever you want to go.
Come back from the bar to wash up and go to bed, and you can continue to watch the lights of Miao Village while lying on the bed.
Good night, the dimly lit Qianhu Miao Village.
When I woke up the next day, it was still rainy and foggy.
It turns out that Uncle Liu and I got up late, and we can only see a small corner of the little skirt of Yunhai~~
But what is consoling is that you can eat freshly cooked noodles from the homestay aunt early in the morning.
It is also a great mood to enjoy breakfast facing such a scenery.
Last night, there was lightning, thunder and heavy storms, and this morning it was wet everywhere, and the air was particularly fresh. The rain in Guizhou has always been so considerate. It falls freely in the dead of night and leaves obediently after dawn.
There are not many people in the village in the early morning, and there are a few households with white smoke, which is full of life.
There is a field near the No. 1 Wind and Rain Bridge, where you can get in touch with nature very well. The locals who got up early came back from their work in the fields early and harvested a lot of vegetables.
There is also a small terraced field in the distance.
It's just that some places are becoming more and more modern and commercialized. Although I feel helpless, I accept the evolution of a tourist attraction.
The ducklings in the early morning are leisurely looking for food in the pond.
Uncle Liu, who likes a big view, wants to go to the viewing platform again. The sightseeing bus to the viewing platform is near the No. 1 Fengyu Bridge.
When I arrived at the viewing platform, it became my transformation time again, and I changed into a new set of Miao clothes
Sister Tianqing, where do you have the courage to accept another disguise? ?
In order to satisfy the sixth uncle old master's way of taking pictures of tourists, I can only wave my skirt....
Going up from the ancient street, there is a batik workshop near the Shouzhai tree, which is also one of the attractions of Qianhu Miao Village.
Batik craft is also a national intangible cultural heritage, purely handmade.
The batik patterns all have ethnic elements and are very local.
You can learn batik making here, but we don't have enough time to experience it.
Since you can't experience it, let's take a photo together.
Here, it is common to walk on this kind of winding and uphill stone road. Not to mention, after such continuous training up and down, the muscles and bones of the legs and feet will inevitably stretch a lot. No wonder the people here walk like flying. .
The chili in Guizhou is well-deserved, and we also bought a lot of chili sauce here to take home, hoping that the taste buds can still remember the familiar taste here and penetrate every cell at the dinner table at home.
When it came time to leave, every record flight became ceremonial.
Although the society is getting faster and faster, short guides and short videos are becoming more and more popular, but I am still used to using such long travel notes to record every trip (from the obsession of the middle-aged aunt), I feel that writing a The travel notes of this article are the perfect ending (the self-contradiction of lazy cancer patients), so I will continue to show every trip in the form of travel notes in the future~~
This is the first time I have come to Guizhou, and I have experienced the unique customs and the most authentic natural scenery. I like myself who runs in the fields like a child, and I hope that we can continue to be like Guizhou on the road of life. Running like a child.
Will come again next time.
some useful information
【About traffic】
Although Baiyan Village is a paradise, the traffic is very convenient. Take the high-speed rail from Guiyang North Station, and you will arrive at Kaili South Station in about 30 minutes. After leaving the station, you can take a taxi to Baiyan Village in 45 minutes. Our taxi fare is 190 Yuan.
Baiyan Village is only a 30-minute drive from the most famous scenic spot in Southeast Guizhou, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. However, in Baiyan Village, you need to book a car in advance. You can ask a housekeeper or a local to help you book. The taxi fare is about 120 yuan.
Of course, you can also choose to drive by yourself. I haven’t inquired about how to rent a car in Kaili before. You can rent a car at Guiyang Airport, but it’s a bit far from Guiyang. It takes about 3 hours by car, but the advantage of self-driving is to browse the Baiyan Village. For other scenic spots, such as Leigong Mountain, it is said that it will be very shocking to go up to Leigong Mountain in the morning to see the sea of clouds.
【About customs】
This time, most of the Qiandongnan people we went to were Miao people. The Miao people were hospitable and hospitable. They had the custom of gathering together for a long table banquet. The food of the Miao people mainly had two flavors: hot and sour. I especially like to eat sour. The sour soup of Miao family is famous for its tender fish and fresh soup, which is fragrant and delicious. Almost every family of the Miao people has jars for pickled food, collectively called sour jars. The famous soup on CCTV was when the living conditions of the Miao people were not very good at that time. , so that it becomes sour.
In particular, the locals love to drink. After work, drink a little wine, soothe the muscles and activate the blood, and relieve fatigue; when relatives and friends visit, during festivals, weddings and weddings, they must treat guests with wine. Over time, a set of traditional customs and etiquette of drinking has been formed, as well as the custom of singing wine songs. . When we were in Baiyan Village, because it was the Dragon Boat Festival, they didn't work, so they drank from morning to noon, and then continued to drink until evening. They really drank all day long.
【TIPS】
Things to bring: Umbrella, sandals, light coat, cooling oil and mosquito repellent~
1. There is a saying in Guizhou that “the sky is never sunny for three days”. It is not uncommon for it to rain suddenly, and it is not uncommon for it to stop for three minutes. It is also normal for it to rain while the sun is out. Umbrellas cannot be separated from the body, and rain and sun protection are essential.
2. The climate in Guizhou in summer is about 10 degrees lower than that in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. At night, the wind is cool and not cold. It can only be described as comfortable. Except for the air-conditioned car where I have worn a coat, the open-air natural environment You don’t even need a jacket, you can wear whatever you want in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and Guizhou.
3. Wild mosquitoes are very vicious, and the accommodation conditions may not be very good, so remember to bring cool oil or mosquito repellent.
