The origin of the village name

The origin of the name of Wudong Miao Village

. Leigong Mountain has a majestic mountain range, which extends here to become a gentle ridge, with a small hill at the end, just like a dragon rising up. Two streams converge at the end of the mountain ridge and flow to the northwest. More than a dozen Miao people build houses on the mountain ridge between the two rivers, so it is named Wudong village. In Miao language, it is called "Ou Dong", which means village in the river. The village is surrounded by mountains with green bamboos, green pines and cypresses, towering ancient trees, and green trees. Standing at a high place, you can see Wudong Miao village. The mountains are green and the water is beautiful, and the wooden buildings hanging from the feet are arranged in an orderly way. In the early morning, the cooking smoke is curling, and the beauty is like a fairyland. It's really beautiful. The scenery here is unique. According to the old man, the Miao people in Wudong were formed in order to avoid the war in history. They lived here for a short time, no more than 300 years. There are 104 families in the village, but they have nine surnames, including Yang, pan, Li, long, Wan, Jiang, Hou, Zhao and Jin, all belonging to the Miao nationality. According to the old legend, the first people who came to live here were the Miao people who hid here in order to avoid Zhang Guangsi's suppression during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Some of them were in Xianfeng Period of the Qing Dynasty, in Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and in order to avoid the Qing army's suppression. Miao people fled here during the uprising, but some of them could not survive in the famine years. Because Miao people with different surnames live in Wudong do not belong to the same clan, they can intermarry with each other and form a complex relationship of marriage. People get along well with each other and have a simple and honest custom.

Nan Xiangye, a young Miao writer and well-known journalist, wrote: "the Miao people are a nation that has been constantly driven out or even eliminated, but they have never given up their faith. Since 5000 years ago, they have been climbing mountains and wading through hardships. They fled from the Central Plains to the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau and other parts of the world, looking for their hometown where the sun is setting, and nurturing ancient songs and myths with blood without resentment, Take the cliffs as their homes, build terraces according to the mountains, believe in all things, worship nature, worship ancestors and thank enemies. " The Miao people in Wudong Miao village are just like this.

legend

It is said that a long time ago, there were many wild ducks in Wudong Miao village, and occasionally swans came to look for food and play in the water. There is a Miao youth named fushouli in Baiyan Miao village who often goes to Wudong River to hunt wild ducks. One day, a white swan flew up from Taoyao river. Fushouli saw the White Swan fall to the mouth of Wudong river. He walked three and two steps from Baiyan to a high mountain. Looking at the mouth of the river, he saw the White Swan bathing and trimming its feathers. But when he came to the mouth of the river to see, there was no white swan. On the upper reaches of the river, a young girl of Miao family, dressed in elegant clothes and with a silver sparrow on her head, came to him. The girl said to fushouli politely, "elder brother, where are you from? What are you doing here? "Fushouli said," I'm from Baiyan village. Just now I saw a white swan flying here. I'm going to fight this white swan, but it's gone here. Did you scare it away. "The girl said," no, I'm afraid you're dazzled. My home is not far from here. I come to this river every day to fish, but I never see any white swans. "It's embarrassing in fushouli. The girl said, "my name is Ou Dongnan. My parents were killed with a shotgun. Now I'm alone. I catch fish and shrimps every day to satisfy my hunger. If my elder brother doesn't think I'm ugly, I'd like to marry him. "Fu Shou Li thought for a while and said," my parents also died early, but my field has no hills, the ground has no horns, and there is only half a thatched cottage. I live by hunting every day. If you marry me, I don't know what to feed you. "The girl said," I'm not afraid of poverty. As long as people are industrious, life will be better. "Fushouli listened to the girl's sincere speech and agreed to accept her as his wife. Fushouli said: "it's good for us to be married, but I don't know where to ask for rice to cook tonight. "The girl said," don't worry. I know there are many fish in the river over there. Elder brother, please wait here for me to catch some to cook. "So fushouli went up to the mountain to collect firewood. Before she started the fire, the girl had to have fish. After they cooked the fish, it was dark and they couldn't go back to Baiyan for lodging. They spent the night at Hekou that night. At night, fushouli had a dream. He dreamed that he had gone to a place where he had been to hunt wild ducks, but no wild ducks were found today. He walked again and again, and met a fisherman, grey haired, who was in his way. The fisherman asked him where he was going. Fushouli said, "I'll cut down trees to build a house. "The fisherman said," there's no need to cut down trees. There's a stilted building on the other side of the mountain. It hasn't been owned yet. You can go across the river and have a look. If it's suitable, you can live in it. "He walked in the direction of the fisherman's Guide. He was crossing the middle of a river when the flood wave swept him away. He tried desperately to climb up the rock, but he didn't have any strength and suddenly fell into the waterfall. He woke up in a dream.

Fushouli told the girl about the process of dreaming. The girl said, "dreams are dreams, and doing is doing. It's different from real life. It seems that your mind is not necessarily good, so you can have such a nightmare. "Fushouli asked the girl to interpret her dream. The girl said," there is no need to interpret this dream. I advise elder brother not to fight wild ducks in the future. They are also a life. This is meibangmeiliu's will. Don't go against the will of heaven and do evil things! "Fushouli was very ashamed after hearing this. He promised to get rid of this bad habit and decided to work and produce. After daybreak, they got up and saw the river
