Yinshui Dong Village

Yinshui Dong village is an ancient village. It has a history of more than 1000 years since the Wu family moved in.

The village is located in the valley, with steep foothills and steep mountains. Two waterfalls fly down according to the mountain, like silver chains falling from the sky. Therefore, it is named "Yinshui Dong village". Yinshui Dong village is located in the middle of lehuang small Three Gorges, 1.5km west of Longsheng County, with lush trees and charming natural scenery.

The Dong people who live in the village are good at singing and dancing, and maintain their own unique style in living customs and eating habits. There is no need to nail and rivet wooden buildings, Fengyu bridge (flower bridge) and pagoda style Drum Tower in the village, which are all landmark buildings of the Dong style. The wind and rain bridge of the stockade lies at the entrance of the stockade. After passing through the wind and rain bridge, you enter the stockade.

According to the Dong custom, the drum tower is a necessary building in the village. Several drum towers will be built according to the number of surnames in the village. However, there is only one "Wu" surname in Yinshui Dong village, so there is only one drum tower in the village. From the front of the drum tower, the waterfalls falling from the top of the mountain are on both sides of the drum tower, just like the two long sleeves of the drum tower waving.

In 1737, the 82nd generation leader of Yinshui Dong village, Wu Yinyin, was defeated because he could not bear the government's oppression and uprising. After the failure of the uprising, the government changed the name of the county to "Longsheng" to publicize the merits of the suppression, which is also the origin of the name of "Longsheng".

history

Yinshui Dongzhai is located in a valley, with straight and steep foothills, winding paths, secluded caves, and steep mountains. Its valley rocks cause waterfalls to flow down and look like a silver chain from afar. Therefore, it is called "Yinshui Dongzhai". The forest on the village is lush and the scenery is charming. It used to be an old Dong village. As early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Wu family of Dong people moved to Longsheng, where they first established the village. After several generations of construction, it became a well-known Dong village. People live and work in peace and contentment, and the population is prosperous. There is an nunnery at the top of the village with constant incense. In the third year of Qianlong reign (1737), Wu Jinyin, the leader of the Dong nationality (the 82 generation leader of Yinshui Village), led the Dong People's uprising, which was responded by the Zhuang, Miao, Yao and other ethnic people of Longsheng. The rebel army was fierce and loud, and the Guilin government of Guangxi was scared. In the fourth year of Qianlong reign, Wu Jinyin gathered in Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces to be encircled and suppressed by the Qing army. In the sixth year of Qianlong reign, Wu Jinyin's rebel army was suppressed by the Qing army, and Yinshui village was devastated Since then, a vibrant Dong village has become desolate and desolate with mixed vegetation. With the development of tourism, in 1993, the county people's government raised more than 1 million yuan to restore Yinshui Dong village. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, elegant environment and distinctive architectural style of Dong nationality, the rich Dong nationality customs attract many tourists at home and abroad.
