Bird culture

Tujia township is located in the north of Yuanling County, 110 kilometers away from the county seat, north to Zhangjiajie City, West to the original tongcheping Township, South to daheping Township, east to the original qijiaxi township. Located in the middle of Wuling mountains, it is a high mountain forest area. The highest peak in the territory is baozijie, with an altitude of 1

091 meters. With a total area of 101 square kilometers, the township governs 9 administrative villages, 94 villager groups and more than 7000 people.

According to the Ming Dynasty "thrush Daquan" records, the region has a long history of bird culture customs. It is said that at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng's two generals, Wang and Ma, changed their troops to avoid the pursuit of Wu Sangui and other Qing soldiers, Seeing that the mountain was high and dense, they went along the stream. When they got to Wuyuan cave and Laolong cave, they hid in the cave and chased soldiers into the valley. They only heard the birds, but did not see the voices of people. They thought that "if there were people, there would be no birds, and if there were birds, there would be no one." so they withdrew. Finally, the birds saved the soldiers and the local people. In order to appreciate the life-saving kindness of birds, people have gradually formed the custom of loving and raising birds. There are more than 40 kinds of birds in the township. In the slack season, cultural activities focusing on bird watching and bird fighting are becoming more and more popular. When farmers go to the market, they don't forget to lead the children with their left hand and carry the birdcage with their right hand. During busy farming hours, birdcages are inseparable and hang near the field. Even if they fall with a heavy load, they should protect the birdcage regardless of the burden. The beautiful birdcage has such patterns as "two birds snatching treasure" and "Eight Immortals crossing the sea". The top and surrounding of the birdcage should be surrounded by a beautiful cloth embroidered by a lover, which is called "birdcage clothes", and the middle part of the birdcage should be covered with a beautiful cloth
