Yumu Village

introduce

Yumu Village is a Tujia cottage located at the junction of Hubei and Chongqing. According to legend, the two chieftains Ma and Tan fought in ancient times. Due to the dangerous terrain of Yumu Village, Chieftain Tan could not attack for a long time. The chieftain sighed: "I conquer this village, just like looking for fish along a tree." Since then, this village has been named Yumu Village.

Yumu Village is surrounded by cliffs, with three layers of iron walls and four snail peaks. There is only an ancient stone road with a width of 2 meters leading directly to the gate of the village. There are ancient tombs, ancient stele forests, ancient plank roads, and ancient gates in the village, which are well preserved. The checkpoints here are majestic, the roads are difficult and cramped, the two roads to Xiazhai are all built of stones, and the stone steps are steep and narrow, especially the Liangtizi and the second section of Shoubayan in Sanyangguan, which can be called natural dangers.

At present, there are more than 100 households in Yumu Village, most of whom are Tujia people, and they still retain the complete customs of ancient Tujia people's life, diet, wedding and funeral, and architecture. The village is dominated by wooden buildings. The combination of stone and stone, wood and wood, and wood and stone are all made in the traditional construction method of the ancient Ba Kingdom, connected by tenons and yin and yang.
