brief introduction

Guantian mountain is a mysterious holy mountain of the Miao family. The word "Guan" in guantian mountain was called "Guan" before liberation. Guantian was the land owned by the government. Of course, it was the government that forcibly seized it at that time. The reason is that there is a cliff in the deep valley of guantian mountain, and there is a small cave under it, which just one person can drill into. It is said that in ancient times, this cave was dry, and there was no water flowing out from it all the year round. The fields around it suffered drought every year, and the Miao people lived very hard here. One day, Panhu, the ancestor of the Miao people, came here and saw the withered scene He went into the cave and stayed in it for a day. After he came out, there was a clear spring flowing out of it. Panhu told all the villagers that he invited the gods from heaven to practice Dharma in the cave. The spring water flows all the year round and can be used to drink and irrigate the field. Drinking it can strengthen the body and prolong life, and irrigate the field can produce the best rice. But he also warned everyone that if any mortal steps into the cave in the future, it will pollute the spirit of the cave and dry up the spring water, and those who step into the cave will also suffer from a strange disease, which is hard to cure for life. Therefore, later generations called the cave "Shenxian cave" and designated it as the forbidden area of the Miao family. No one was allowed to step into the cave. Even the bandits did not dare to step into it, so the spring water has been flowing to today (I heard the old man say that some people sneaked into the cave during the cultural revolution, but they did not dare to go deep into it. When he came out, he said that it could hold thousands of people, and he also said that movies could be put in it).

There is an ancient forest and a pile of strange rocks in guantian mountain Miao village, which is one of the location of "bloody Xiangxi". You may remember a scene where Mr. Suo advised Sui Sui to kiss sun beard who was going to the battlefield. All the trees here are hundreds of years old. Miao people believe that all things have spirit and worship nature. They worship giant rocks (grotesque rocks), caves, big trees, mountains and forests. As a result, places so close to the road have not been obviously damaged. And where you see along the way, there are very few such slightly larger trees. According to the legend of the Miao family, if a child's life is too hard for his parents to bear, the child will be weak and sick and easy to die young. By recognizing the tree God as his parents, he pastes red paper shoes on the ancient tree and writes the eight characters of the child's birthday, believing that under the care of the tree god, the child will easily grow up.

Customs, names and feelings

It's primitive and simple: a heart connecting bridge, connecting the friendship between Miao and Han brothers, hundreds of earth brick houses, retaining a century old architectural style, without any commercial atmosphere. The Miao people here are honest, warm and sincere, which is well-known to tourists. The culture here is mysterious: there is the most primitive culture of the Miao people - Liangcai (Miao Language); there is the most primitive, mysterious and terrifying witch culture in Western Hunan, such as "chasing corpses" and "playing poisonous insects". It has unique features: convenient transportation, but it is still the most complete and original earth rock wall building complex. Every family is connected to each other, fighting against the Millennium banditry in Western Hunan. Here is full of legend: it is the mysterious place of Phoenix, with "immortal" underground spring water, irrigated rice fields, and is the only production base of "Gongmi" in Western Hunan.

The Miao village in guantian mountain is hidden behind the woods. When you go around the pond and paddy field, you still can't see the village. After the guide's explanation, you know that the village is hidden behind the woods. It is said that when the Miao uprising broke out in Western Hunan, they rebelled against the Manchu government and demanded to pay the so-called local high-quality rice as a tribute. After the Qing army attacked, they had to give up because they could not find the village behind the woods. I think this is just the beautification of their ancestors by tour guides. Later, the guide mentioned that Wu August was one of the leaders of the uprising. I happened to know a little about that uprising. The uprising took place during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. In fact, it was an uprising of the Bailian sect, but it was ostensibly under the slogan of "expelling the Hakka people and returning to their hometown". Then it expanded rapidly until it was exterminated. Fukang'an and Helin, the celebrities of the Qing Empire, died in the process of suppressing the uprising.

The local people's introduction may be a romance, but I'm really interested in how Wu August became king of Miao. I always thought that the so-called king of Miao had a high reputation among the Miao people. According to the local people's introduction, Wu August didn't have this condition. According to the oral history of the Miao people, it should be Wu August and others who agreed to attack in three ways, who would be the first to win the predetermined goal, that is to say, the king, and then the king Wu August was the only one who occupied the ancient city of Qianzhou (now near the urban area of Jishou), so everyone respected Wu August as "king of Miao". I think this agreement similar to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu has the color of Bailian religion and the world. That is to say, I would rather believe this version. The worship of Wu August and Wu Bansheng in the temple of the heavenly king in the ancient city of Phoenix also proves the reliability of this legend.

Wang Hou Jiang Xiang, would you rather have seed? Chen she can think like this, why can't Wu August? Besides, Comrade Wu August still has religious belief as the theoretical system? Liu Bang can succeed, so Liu Bang is great, Wu August is not successful, so Wu August is stupid? "History has proved that history has always been trampled at will." behind this absurd assertion, there is truth, let alone a minority In this sense, success is really important, at least to let people recognize your way, and this success is nothing more than to meet the public requirements of "a man can't have no power and no money". For thousands of years, it seems that this standard has not changed under a single value system, but the form of expression is inconsistent. Fortunately, we can now see that there may be other value systems, and maybe we can choose. In this sense, the interpretation of Wu August as the so-called national hero and the anti Qing hero does not prevent me from understanding it as the history of local ruffians.

Guantian mountain Miao village is mainly made of rammed earth. Even the richest silversmith in the village, as the tour guide said, is also an earthen house. This kind of hard condition has not changed until the invasion of the commercial society. In retrospect, perhaps the so-called diligent Miao people have been used to this kind of life in the absence of information exchange since ancient times, until now.

People in Miao village live leisurely and lazily, perhaps because there are few visitors. They treat visitors as if they were from a neighboring village. They are natural and relaxed. They don't have purposeful business promotion, nor are they used to the so-called indifference to the world. They think that you are just a visitor. Compared with other over commercialized village tours, the old smokers in Miao village are more relaxed People's "come and sit down" makes people feel that the cultural background behind the commercial differences is completely different.

The farm food in guantian mountain Miao village is also delicious. Because we didn't visit with Daliu, there were only two people. The reception place also served food for us according to the normal team tour. The 20 yuan meal fee (included in the ticket) for both of us was worth the ticket price. We were served three meat, four vegetable and two soup, including rice and the so-called chaihuo Guoba porridge, including fish, duck, meat, etc In the era of soaring CPI, it's really like a sense of isolation.

The Miao people here are skillful, good at singing and dancing, inheriting the fine traditions and ancient national culture of the Miao people. The simple and hospitable Miao family welcomes guests from all over the world.
