The world's "Xijiang" to pick the flavor of prose appreciation

Located in the eastern part of China's Guizhou Province, in the hinterland of the Miao Frontier in the lofty mountains, "Xijiang Thousand Houses Miao Village" is a magical, desirable - place.

In early spring of the year of the horse in February, a sunny morning, I accompanied a few writers from afar with friends, driving from the beautiful capital of Qiandongnan Kaili City, along the broad Jinshan Avenue, through the infinite scenery of the Langxi Highway, to the world's largest "Xijiang Thousand Households Miaozhai" picking winds.

It is really better to see than to hear!

After only half an hour's drive, the exciting, joyful and eye-opening scene, instantly jumped into the curtains near at hand: in quite a national architectural style "Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village" in front of a huge cottage, by hundreds of Miao men and women dressed in national costumes to welcome the guests of honor team, in accordance with the highest rituals of the Miao people, a great momentum of the Twelve "barricades" were set up in the middle of the road. And each "barrier" has two beautifully dressed, young, beautiful, hospitable Miao girls holding a cup "gate" toast. In the hospitality, we happily "taste" a cup and a cup of special brewed by the Miao "sweet rice wine", before "pass" to enter the village.

The area of Miao village is very large.

Accordingly, in order to truly explore the mysterious ancient style of the Miao village, as well as the essence of the profound connotation of the national culture, we decided to enter the country and visit the "Xijiang Museum of Ethnicity" first. Here, we not only admire the ancestors of the Miao "Jiuli Chi You" statue, but also from the general understanding of the "Miao ancestors" of the historical changes. Knew - the Miao is a traditional cultural heritage, full of human wisdom, rich in legend of the great nation. And initially know some of the basic etiquette and customs here.

After leaving the "Xijiang Ethnic Museum".

According to the "Scenic Spot Diagram" guide, we came to the "large-scale Lusheng field" in the Miao Village, the field to find the gorgeous elegance of the diverse culture of the Miao people. There is a wide field that can accommodate thousands of people, paved with green stones and edged with countless cobblestones of various sizes, forming a "complex artistic pattern" in front of us. In the center of the field stands a thick, round wooden pillar with the "symbol of the Miao totem" carved into it. Around the Lusheng field, a circle of distinctive ethnic characteristics of the court, wind and rain promenade is built. Among them, all kinds of all-inclusive, colorful ethnic costumes are hung. Many tourists from all over the country, in all directions, are selecting their favorite ethnic costumes, wearing on the body photography. This highlights the prosperity of the market economy active in the era of peace and prosperity.

At noon, with a burst of "shouts", but see a few dressed in black cloth tunic Miao village old man, holding a "high row of reed-sheng", set up a "copper drum", immediately blowing and banging away. They immediately played and beat the drums. At once, the atmosphere became very active. In an instant, the lushengs and mangtongs were playing in unison, accompanied by the sound of copper drums. At the same time, there are countless dressed in Miao dress, head wearing silver horn silver flowers, full of silver pendant Miao men and women, young and old, one after another into the field, with step on the beat of the drums, and jumped up colorful Miao reed-sheng, copper drum dance.

When the climax is rising.

Suddenly, more than ten Miao girls emerged from the crowd with a smile, like flowers, elegant behavior, picking up the "horn wine", singing a passionate and loud "toasting song" to us a warm toast. After the ceremony, they happily invited us to join in the dance.

When we "tasted" the sweet rice wine of the Miao family once again and "got drunk on wine", we entered the "sea of songs and dances". "When, coincidentally, coincided with a ray of dazzling, and cozy sunshine from the Miao village directly down from the sky, shining everyone's heart warm and melting. Heh, such a hospitable place, this kind of friendly customs, and that cool weather ...... does not make people unconsciously has been completely intoxicated. Rarely this kind of atmosphere to stimulate interest, everyone who do not want to idle hands and feet, have to participate in the interactive carnival. All of a sudden: the host and guest **** dance, full of joy. More invigorating - the majestic Lusheng, drums and music, excited voices, laughter, intertwined together, ringing into a piece, echoing the Miao Village, the scene is magnificent! And the Miao this "inherent rich ethnic flavor taste" way of entertaining guests, so that we were y moved! And completely and utterly in a foreign country, the "strange feeling" is gone.

As the Romans do, we couldn't help ourselves, and danced to the drums with our hands and feet. Although I feel clumsy, but also enjoy the fun. Even feel completely immersed in a piece of "eliminate the human tired heart" "clean land" and into the - human life back to the real last habitat home.

Especially in front of this home away from home, no distinction, the scene of integration. Special harmony in the atmosphere, everyone is smiling, there seems to be no "guests" and "master" of the distinction, there is only "national unity" of the infinite affection. It is full of friendship and love.

After feeling the joyful atmosphere of "Lusheng field", we went to the thousand-year-old street.

The streets here, like the Lusheng field, are made of green stones and cobblestones. The ground "complex art patterns" rich in "symbolism" with a thousand years of ancient charm and historical legends. All the houses on both sides of the street are all "wooden structures", and every house on the street has a store, and most of them are engaged in all kinds of Hmong folk arts and crafts products. Here, the customer door, bustling, which makes the family business is booming household trading hot.

At noon.

We are very lucky to be invited to participate in the famous "Hmong ten thousand long table feast" activities. This is a very rare gathering of people from all walks of life in the Miao village to provide tables and chairs, and at the same time together along the street lined up, set up up hundreds of meters or even nearly a thousand meters long banquet. The tables are piled up with a wide variety of food, most of which are "delicious delicacies" cooked with "pollution-free green food" such as sour fish in soup, drums and hidden meat, white cut chicken, wild vegetables, etc., which are characteristic of the food culture of the Miao people. "The food is mouth-watering. Seats, "toast song" sung non-stop, accompanied by guests persuade the sound of food yell constantly, all those present, everyone enjoys the food, each full meal. In the long nearly three hours of the dinner process, the whole street has always been crowded, wave after wave came, the number of people is very large. Coupled with the CCTV "live broadcast" report, the event pushed to the peak. The event was a great success!

After experiencing the abundance of the "Hmong 10,000 people long table feast", we rolled to the ancient street near the walk along the river, tour to appreciate the unique human civilization and nature synthesis of the excellent landscape.

As you look around, you can see several "Miao wind and rain bridges" spanning both sides of the river. A closer look at the structure of the bridge, so that people competing accidentally found: the use of the unique "building technology" construction of the Miao construction completed the "Miao wind and rain bridge" project, completely without "a nail a rivet". And its biggest feature is also reflected in: hundreds of wooden "columns" and "beams", not only ring ring tightly, wrong track complex, hidden, confusing, ingenious, ingenious, very strong, and the outer carving of the pattern is both exquisite and simple and beautiful, and "craft". And "craft" out of the gods wonderful. Indeed, it should be said that the world is unique, and can even be called "global architectural field" in the history of a unique - oddball treasure.

Standing on the bridge, along the gurgling water in the river to the distance: a line of scenery, picturesque, beautiful. The torrential river water is clear, sparkling, river sandstone, swimming fish can be seen; river bank, green willow shade, bamboo shadow rocking the green, colorful flowers embellishments should be lined - red like fire, yellow like gold, strewn like Xia, white like snow ...... a branch, a cluster, a cluster, a beautiful, vibrant and colorful. The flowers are beautiful, vibrant, and vivid, covering as much ground as you can see. More wonderful, secluded, elegant and pleasant is - the breeze blowing, lush fragrance into the lungs. Occasionally, a few birds flying around the water play carnival, silk singing melodious, pleasing to the ear, let a person intoxicated, relaxed and happy. As if in the fairyland, the paradise of the world in general.

The tour is strong.

We simply go to the "performing arts field" to enjoy the professional team of classic "Miao song and dance" show performance.

We were told that we were interested in following the crowd that rushed to the "bullfighting ring" to enjoy the traditional "bullfighting" of the Miao people, which we had longed for. Customs. "Before we arrived at the venue, we could hear the sound of it first" - suddenly, we were attracted by the waves of revelry and roaring. Arrived at the scene, the real situation witnessed is: a very large piece of ground crowded, countless, crowded, but seems to be very lively and most popular. This side, two big fat and strong "bullock" staring at the blood-red eyes, high head angle each other "hostile", and soon in the cattle master's "signals", such as the arrow from the Hyun Soon, under the "signal" of the master of the bull, they were like arrows leaving the shaft of the arrow, and slammed into each other with all their strength. Suddenly, heard "boom" a loud bang, shook the ground, the sky cracked; there, two head of strength, fierce and unusual "big bullock", struggling to break free from the cattle master with the strength of the tight rope, very belligerent collision! "The two bullocks are in a war of words. The head to head, corner to corner, tenacious "contest", desperately "fight" to the darkness of the sky. Although, after a long battle led to both sides of the body are many parts of the "injured and colorful". However, they did not give in to each other! Even if there are "fight" dozens of strong Miao Han respectively force "pull feet" to make the scene chaotic, dusty and difficult to pull it apart. Visible, each have each other "put to death" momentum. Coupled with the audience cheering, cheering ...... deafening "cheers" air sky, resounding in the sky, really heart-stopping, thrilling, daunting, doubly so, especially wonderful, exciting and addictive.

The spirit is very high, but not satisfied.

We again came to the "bird field" to watch: a "birdcage" stars all over the grass, hanging all over the tree branches. The "silk race" and "rolling cage race" are very exciting, and the birds are very interesting!

Although the exciting events in the "Bird Arena" are still going on and are very "attractive", we can no longer resist the great "temptation" of the "Fishing Match"!

When we were in the middle of the game, we could not resist the temptation of the "fishing contest"!

When we moved to the field, the "fishing" competition was equally exciting. The tournament just announced the start: male and female players, each hand holding a "fish cover", left and right bow, scrambling to "fishing", want to pull out the first prize. Noisy laughter, full of "mass entertainment" festivities, both the contestants or the audience have almost reached a wholeheartedly into the - oblivion.

Back deep into the village on the "Nongjiale", everywhere has become a happy world of singing and dancing.

Handsome Hmong boy blew the melodious Lusheng song, beautiful and charming Hmong girl opened the sweet voice, and affectionately invited guests to join the "circle" into a "circle", and the song and dance, graceful and elegant. A moment is "to discuss flowers with dance", a moment is "bench dance"; a moment is "flying song", a moment is "wine song". "...... We are drunk and mesmerized, the more dance the more enthusiastic, the more song the more joyful.

The tour party (love) field, but another sweet, emotional, intoxicating mood.

Miao young men and women, in groups of three to five, tenderness, open heart, each other to the song, you to and fro, each other's feelings, that situation: lingering love, and I, the true feelings, as if forgetting the time and space, regardless of everything

Near dusk.

We passed through a "wind and rain bridge", without thinking from the opposite side of the river to pick up the steps, to reach - the observation deck.
