Local sentiment

"King of the Dynasty" is a special custom of the Yao nationality, also known as "returning God". That is to say, when a disaster occurs in a certain family, such as serious illness and long-term treatment, the family asks the master to pray for the blessing of "King Pan". At the same time, if the wish is realized, the family must return the God, that is, to reward "King Pan", which is also called "King Chao" by the Yao nationality. The "king of the Dynasty" is hosted by the host family, that is, the "God returning" family, who invite the "master" and "sister" to come home. According to the ceremony, they first place sacrifices on the God's table and light incense candles. Then the "master" and "sister" sing, dance and blow the scriptures at home. On the first day, they recite the three scriptures of "toutan", "shangtan" and "Santan". On the second day, they recite "taohuadong" and "shangtan" "Shiliuling", "dageshu" and "paobingshu" are four scriptures, which last all night for two days. It is stipulated that meat can not be eaten on the first day, but only on the second day. All the spectators and guests are warmly entertained and invited to dinner.

When you enter the picturesque entrance of Yao village, you can smell the fragrance of octagonal. Buildings with strong Yao customs, elegant buildings with "sloping roofs, wooden pavilion windows" and "looping window flowers" are looming in the green trees. It seems that you are walking in a simple and elegant ink painting. In the middle of the village, there is the Chashan River, which has a history of thousands of years Yao people from generation to generation. The river is crystal clear. You can see it as a mirror when you look at it. There are countless fish and stones at the bottom of the river. From time to time, you can see white ducks swimming on the water. A unique wind and rain bridge across the river adds a beautiful scenery to the Yao Village. On the Fengyu bridge, the old Yao people are playing chess, some are shaking the Pu fan, chatting and chatting, and some children are playing games, with comfortable smiling faces. Fengyuqiao is closely related to the thousand year old banyan. The trunk of the ancient banyan leans down to the gurgling River, and the air roots fall down from the air. It is connected with the magnificent fengyuqiao and the reflection in the water, which makes it interesting and full of emotion. Early in the morning, the morning fog, misty landscape, in this side of the water, if you are traveling in the fairyland of the world.
