Chengzhai chengzhai, the last mysterious village in Yunnan
Among the first batch of Chinese traditional villages announced in 2012, Chengzhai Village in Malipo County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is a mysterious place. In this batch of villages, such as Dali Xizhou, Yunlong Nodeng, Cangyuan Wunding, Tengchong Heshun, Jianchuan Sideng, Jianshui Tuanshan, Jinghong Manchunman and so on are all famous, and have long been the representative of rural tourism in Yunnan. The remoteness of the village and no name, but also to be selected as one of the first batch of traditional villages in China, making the village more and more mysterious. Chengzhai, an ancient and mysterious village.
Chengzhai's far from the Malipo County are more than 130 kilometers, Chengzhai's mysterious is living in the white toms shoes there. We drove south from Kunming, a full eight hours later, before arriving at this borderland small village. The city is surrounded by karst mountains, and the dense primary forest hides it. Along the mossy stone road, through a mysterious ancient gate, and then through a stone path under the shade of the forest, you will enter the mysterious village in the dense forest.
Through the sky-high ancient trees in the dense forest, a block of one-story, one-bottomed, dry-rail wooden buildings appear faintly. Along the rugged stone path, drilling through a naturally formed stone cave gate, and then down a few hundred meters is the settlement of the villagers of the village.
The village is made up of wooden buildings, with 50 to 60 pillars supporting the entire house, one floor and one floor, with people living upstairs and livestock downstairs. Perhaps it is the ancient tradition, coupled with the protection of the heart, the village, even if it is to build new houses, still adhere to the traditional way, in addition to the use of cement to smear the ground, you can no longer see what the modern building materials. There are more than 150 households in Chengzhai Village***, of which 142 are traditional multi-column pole-and-rail buildings, accounting for 94.1% of the total number of households. Some of the buildings have been tilted to a stunning degree because of their age, but the owners still live in them, without the feeling of "dangerous houses".
The staircase from the center of the house goes up to the second floor, where the windows are small and dim. The house is divided into two main parts, the outer house is mainly the living room, while the inner house is mainly for living. In the living room of each family, there is a fire pit made of clay that stays lit all year round and is used for heating and cooking. A simple iron tripod and a pot were used to cook on the fire, and at night a straw mat was spread on the floor next to the fire to sleep on, and in the morning the cover was put away and stored. In the daytime, very few people stayed in the house, but most of them moved around in the corridor. Standing in the corridor and look out, the village rows of dry-rail type buildings like a unique landscape, showing the white toms shoes for men architectural aesthetics.
In fact, the dry-rail type of building in Yunnan is not uncommon, Dai, Wa and other ethnic groups are living in this kind of building. But the peculiar thing is that the white toms people belong to the Yi ethnic group, and the country and then there is no branch of the Yi ethnic group to use the dry rail type of building. And Baixsus people its food, clothing, housing and transportation compared with other regions of the Yi people, there are large differences. Complex historical origins and diversified cultural heritage factors, to the Baixsus people smeared with a few hints of mystery. About the Yi Baixsus people's literature is late, the earliest in the Ming Dynasty during the Tianqi years of the "Dian Zhi" mentioned to the "Qing Job Tribute Map" Volume VII, said: "White Rollo, brick barbarians for the lowly, Yunnan and other provinces and Kaifa, Jingdong are all of them, the residence according to the mountain tubes, or live in the villages." This mysterious tribe from where? In this deep forest inhabited how many years? These are not half of the written records. At present, in Yunnan Province, there are Guangnan, Funing two counties each have a white toms shoes for men community, the world's total number of white toms shoes for men is only more than 2,000 people. And Chengzhai may be the world's oldest surviving village of white toms shoes.
In the ancient legend, the toms shoes come from the distant Kunlun Mountains, when it has been difficult to prove. In the process of migration, the white toms shoes are threatened by famine, just when the grief of the white toms shoes people at a loss, there is a person found on the ground upside down with a bowl, turn it over to see, the bowl under the cover of a few two buckwheat seeds. Later, toms shoes for thanks to their ancestors to give them this bowl of life-saving buckwheat seeds, they will be in the first of April every year is the Dragon Day that buckwheat ripe time to celebrate "buckwheat Festival". The village men, women and children dressed in new clothes, carried to the ancient bronze drums, beat the cheerful drums, full of joy, singing, to express the joy of the heart and the desire for a better life.
In another legend, the white toms shoes people used to have cannibalism custom, the family old man died, the whole cottage people have to come to share the body. Later gradually changed to the old man died, we have to kill a cow, invite the whole village to gather.
After eating and drinking, they jumped happily to the copper drum dance. Over time, the lion dance as the main content of the copper drum dance has become a custom of the current Baixu people on New Year's Day. The copper drum dance has also become a national intangible cultural heritage.
In the city, there is also a unique scenery, the women of every household, every leisure, in front of the home, the corridor, pick up the needle and thread bucket, with a needle point on the baked melted wax, straight in the cloth pointing flowers. The ancient art of batik is a beautiful painting of the village in the sunset, which makes people mesmerized.
White toms shoes for men a set of clothes to go through more than a dozen processes, planting cotton, picking cotton, spinning, boiled, washed and sun-dried, coloring, boiled again, washed and sun-dried, pulling the line, into the ingot, on the machine weaving, wax point pattern, sewing into clothes, each process all hand-made to complete.
Such a good set of ready-made clothes, usually cost the white toms women a year's time. The white toms girls from the age of five or six years old began to follow their mothers to learn embroidery and needlework. Rough, sprightly dry bar type building, telling the white toms men's indifference and toughness; delicate, generous white toms clothing, is to show the white toms women's soft and delicate.
We did not catch the "Buckwheat Festival", and naturally did not have the opportunity to see the festive dress and rough copper inspired. But to be able to walk into the city, a glimpse of this well-preserved ancient village, is also a reward. Perhaps in a few years, the village will be occupied by tourists, the village is no longer full of mystery, but the good thing is that this really old village has been preserved, not in the wave of new rural construction assimilated, is also a blessing!
