Xianglushan Miao Village
Fenghuang Xianglushan Miao village, about 10 kilometers away from the ancient city of Fenghuang, still retains its original style,
Fenghuang Xianglu mountain Miao village is a paradise, historically known as the holy land of Miao township. The village at the foot of the mountain is old and mysterious. There are more than 600 people in the village, including more than 90 people over 80 years old, also known as Changshou village. Visit centenarians, visit the bandit cave in the story of suppressing bandits in Western Hunan, and watch the Miao folk song and dance performances free of charge.
To enter the Miao village of Fenghuang Xianglu mountain, you must pass three passes: one is to suppress bandits, the other is to fight against folk songs, and the third is to drink three bowls of rice wine.
If you can't pass these three passes, you can't enter the stockade. To suppress bandits is to cross a cave (the place where bandits hid in those days), which is the scene of the film "suppressing bandits in Xiangxi". The cave is dangerous and rugged, the road is difficult to walk, and there is also a river to cross. The bridge on the river is made of small wooden boards, only one meter wide. It drips water from the top. The bridge is very slippery, and the water under the bridge is very fast.
Xianglushan Miao Village
A village about 10 kilometers away from the ancient city of Fenghuang, a village with the most primitive style and simple folk customs, a village less than a year developed by the tourism industry, a village that can walk to the end in about half an hour with normal walking speed, a village that makes my heart tremble, a village that makes me want to organize a fund-raising activity when I go back to school A small village in France. As far as Xianglushan Miao village itself is concerned, I can't use too many words to describe it.
brief introduction
Xianglushan Miao village, some low earth houses, dim lights, difficult to walk on the small path, two centenarians' homes, a natural and unmodified cave, this is the whole landscape of our trip to Xianglushan Miao village. Of course, there is also the welcoming ceremony of Miao people, which is the same as that of Dezhen Miao village, with the same bar door wine, the same duel song, and the same pot bottom ash representing blessing. It's just that it's a commercial performance in Dehang, but it's so natural here. The reason why I feel like this is the soul of Xianglu Miao village. The soul of Xianglushan Miao village lies in people. People in this small village. From six or seven-year-old innocent baby to 107 year-old wife and mother-in-law are deeply moved by our line of 19 people's hearts

To enter the Miao village of Fenghuang Xianglu mountain, you must pass three passes: one is to suppress bandits, the other is to fight against folk songs, and the third is to drink three bowls of rice wine. If you can't pass these three passes, you can't enter the stockade. To suppress bandits is to cross a cave (the place where the bandits hid in those years), which is the scene of the film "suppressing bandits in Xiangxi". The cave is dangerous and rugged, the road is difficult to walk, and we have to cross a river. The bridge on the river is made of small wooden boards, only one meter wide. It drips water from the top, the bridge is very slippery, and the water under the bridge is very fast. We help each other step by step through the cave, and then we have to go up the mountain Everyone was so tired that they just puffed.
folk custom
Xianglushan Miao village, which is a very poor Miao village, lives in Shenmiao (Miao people who have not been sinicized). It is a bloody Xiangxi that makes it out of the mountain. In the past, Xianglu mountain was a bandit's nest, and the people were in dire need of livelihood. When the people's Liberation Army was suppressing bandits, there were many casualties. A Miao youth volunteered to lead the way for the people's Liberation Army, and the bandits retaliated against him. All his children were killed, and his wife escaped. In recognition of him, in 1961, the local government hung a plaque on his door to "defend peace". However, this political honor can not serve as a meal. The old couple live in poverty, which makes people sigh how weak social security is. Xianglushan Miao village still maintains the hereditary system of the village leader. When we enter the village, we see a child with a feather on his head singing folk songs. The guide tells us that this child is the son of the village leader. All the children in the village sing outside or in the village. Only the son of the village leader is qualified to stand at the entrance of the village to welcome tourists, which adds a sense of mystery. After entering the village, I found the village owner's house, which is the same adobe house and the same family with no family. When I inquired about it, I was very impressed. In the past, the stronghold leader was the highest leader of the whole village and enjoyed a lot of privileges. Now the two committees of the village branch are the highest leading body of the whole village. Although the stronghold leader is hereditary, it is said that the stronghold leader has two wives. The first wife gives birth to all girls. Fate treats him unfairly. The first wife died early. The second wife gave birth to a boy. The one singing in the village was born by the second wife. He is the future stronghold leader. Because the village leader has many children, he lives in poverty and is not as good as the villagers.
The people here are simple and hospitable. Walking into the Miao village in Xianglu mountain, Miao's younger brothers and sisters are singing folk songs in the fields and on the steep side of the road. They are more than ten years old and less than two or three years old. Some of them are so childish and lovely in their Miao clothes, and their skin is very dark by the hot sun. Most of the children's shoes are rotten, and some even wear slippers directly. Their eyes show the most sincere things. Looking at them, they always feel hopeful
