In the most primitive villages in southeastern Guizhou, you have to drink "bar wine" when you enter the village. Why are you doing this?

Langde Miao Village in southeastern Guizhou can be said to be the earliest folk tourist attraction opened in the 1980s. Because of this special local cultural heritage, architectural form and geographical location, they can easily become tourist attractions, and their popularity is still good.

They have this habit of abstaining from drinking, which is the inheritance of their history and, of course, the performance of catering to the needs of consumers. Because many historical heritages have disappeared in modern times, but because of the development of tourism in this area, many basic ethnic groups have been preserved. It is these characteristic folk activities that attract more tourists here. Basically, you should drink 13 after drinking, that is, you should drink 13 glasses of wine.

Although the alcohol content is not particularly high, people who are not good at drinking may not be able to stand it. In fact, this is the local custom. It's not that you are required to drink it all. Those tourists drink badly. You just need a shallow bite to express it, and then say thank you. Of course, the local thank you is their language, not our Mandarin.

I think it is necessary to keep this custom activity. Because the significance of communication between people lies in seeking common ground while reserving differences, making communication more interesting, and because the differences between people are indistinguishable and assimilated, the development of civilization will stagnate. Therefore, there must be differences, innovation and inheritance of tradition, so that the culture of this region can have roots, innovation and development, history can continue and culture can develop.
