Phoenix Street's workshop on the ancient city streets, shops very many, mainly selling miaojia silver, tie-dye, batik, and well-known is the Xiong early batik shop. Shing Tai positive sign on the door Youxiong words. According to Bear Master, this is his grandfather's size, then large firms doing business to Phoenix specialty of the tung oil transported to Changsha, and from Changsha to cloth and other items, this small brick homes has also been one hundred years of history . Into the batik shops, small two function rooms we had not seen in the general store batik scarf, dress, table cloth and other clothing, wall hanging all of which are out of a site in order to batik painting. Have had the legends of ancient poetry, or creative title of "Jiang Jinjiu", "Drunken Eight Immortals", "torrent!" And so on, up or Diaojiaolou and Tuojiang scenery on both sides. Bears master told us that he has 30 years of research batik painting, light Shen Cong-wen's hometown of paintings on the paintings more than 30 Zhang. Now, he can do with wax ink, with handwoven cloth on behalf of the rice paper, to create shading properly, vacuousness photographs, Xingshenjianbei of batik painting, in both domestic and international won many awards. Talk much more, we found that the original pro-bear teacher was Huang Yongyu nephew, his mother was Huang Yongyu's big sister. We also see Huang Yongyu sent nephew's paintings, including one for her daughter Xiong Xiong made as early as portraits, paintings that 6-year-old naughty girl has now become a 19-year-old long-Beautiful Lady.
In walking along the streets, you can also see a lot of Jiang Tang workshops. This real estate ginger, Jiang Tang became a well known local products. Xiong, Chang and so on which make and sell the street, a large or small pot boil the starch syrup, boiled sticky one group, the hanging on the wall of the large hooks on the same plane as, and continue to lengthen kneading and re-stretched, until the tenacity to pull, then pull into a Rolling pin thick strips, pulling some, throwing documented on-board, a few girls with big scissors, cut one by one candy, it is complete. Do a good job of Jiang Tang yellowish color, but also reveals a fluorescence, there was a deep sense of ginger, a piece of money, a pouch, was the Quartet to tourists as a gift to buy back give as gifts.
Yellow wire bridge nostalgia
Most people today only know Phoenix is a picturesque paradise has in fact, as the Hunan-Guizhou border of the throat to land, here is a military town since ancient times. Fenghuang County in still retain many of the old relics of the battlefield, and stationed themselves. Bordertown both scenery of the landscape, too loud with the pride of armored cavalry.
Phoenix is about 25 km out of town, after Allah Camp (also a Stockades), we came to黄丝桥古城. Shihmen on high, "and educating the door" in the name clearly visible. Old Town was built in the Tang Chui Gong three years (the public is far 687 years), has been stationed themselves, which they are rulers Miao people's livelihood and chaos control positions. Little old town, board the high walls, we ring trip. By the huge bluestone walls of the puzzle, though after wind and rain, is still solid as ever. There are three ancient city gates, there are three towers, three towers are now according the status quo ante restored, two forts and 300 arrows stack also as the year looks like. Today, the city has long lost its former military and bureaucratic, has been replaced by a residential block, according to the Wall where the locals still take a lot of high Mulou, sell miaojia crafts. Wall on the quiet, it is difficult to imagine terrible and bloody year, to war scenarios. However, education in and the door, after a women's pointing, we found an old barracks, which is two inconspicuous mud house, all from the mud Lei Cheng, wooden windows had been broken. Recent textual research shows that Tsuchiya's history can be traced back to the Qing dynasty, when the soldiers are stationed in this life. Now Tsuchiya has become junk heap where, only the mottled walls, silently telling of history.
Not far away from the黄丝桥古城is the new textual and repair of the South Wall, also known as Miao the Great Wall. According to reports, this is the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court in order to prepare for Hmong built. South Great Wall has been repaired for a very long period, but the most attractive to us is the whole rock camp (also known as victory camp) Tibetan stone house cards and less than 30 meters on both sides of the walls, is authentic ancient Great Wall. Tibetan stone house card entirely by Shi Lei Cheng, there are 56 meters high, one can feel a cool into. As the general well-preserved, and today we can still see the three-tier card Tibetan stone structure, a layer of shooting, there is a long shot narrow mouth, two-story look-out, three-place growing and becoming more used to climbing the stairs is still only been a smooth raw. Since the purpose of the South in order to coordinate the construction of the Great Wall Han Miao contradictions, while limiting the development of Hmong, unlike the north the Great Wall is built to withstand alien invasion, so it is more than the north the Great Wall to "delicate" much more, the stones are small, almost to stone, Article黄丝桥古城blue than the stone is much smaller. In the Tibetan stone house next to the card, and we can see a barracks site, remnants of the pattern of the year can still be seen, Shiji. According to Miss guides introduction, Miao Great Wall later that year lost the role, build the city's stones have been removed by the local people build houses, so most of the original 192 kilometers of the Great Wall is no longer maintained.
Rethinking the Bagua Zhen Yang in the ancient streets of Phoenix, we had visited the shrine Yang, Yang said Rokuro descendants, Yang Miao and then think to Hunan suppress the descendants of the people left behind in this Shengsheng multiply to form Yang family, and Construction of the shrine. Local residents told us that it was the descendants of Yang and then think there is a village in Fenghuang County outside the city. So we rushed to the name of the book drove home the Tujia Church stockade, to look for the footprints of Rethinking Young.
After a long stretch of bumpy dirt road, we came to the cottage calligraphers Church. Yang Yinyan small guide told us that she is the 38th generation of descendants Yang. Because of this newly developed scenic spots, not long after the book at home church where preservation of historical monuments better, to watch the office a lot. Stockade was built during the Northern Song Dynasty, today only a fake wall built Zhaiqiang the remaining buildings were mostly the Ming and Qing architecture, a Xianfeng, Furui-year period it remains a source of drinking water for the villagers. Zhai Qiang using a local hill produced bluestone, is unique in that stones are lengthwise puzzle, and if placed in a bookshelf books, so the village is called bookshelves together, this church, also known as calligraphers, but also scholarly Door article was intended. Also assemble a mud wall, increasing the wall high, can be anti-mountain bandits into the attack. Meanwhile, the rainy day after the mud has been washed of the mud flow down the stone wall will also become the glue that can be described as double benefit. Rethinking Young seems afraid of mountain bandits, the entire village was built based on Zhuge Liang Bagua Zhen divided into upper, middle and xiazhai, xiazhai has three gates, if they are scored, in the Village on the Village there is a small door and defend. In fact, Relying on this scam, not to mention mountain bandits, to a thief would turn dizzy head. This is said to hundreds of years, stockade had never been scored. Today, we came to visit, also remains Bianbu Qing direction, followed by guided tours only turn on the switch, there are two further across from the pigpen. Calligraphers all the old houses have a church where people live, many people have the antiquities, you often inadvertently saw something memorable. There are 13 stone old stone gate, have different inscriptions; between the Qing dynasty, Enke lifts, Yang Ji-chuan of the Inscription; the military commanders of the Stone Lock used to martial arts, including a heavy 360 kilograms, it is now no longer lift; the "four sides to bat (fu)", "fortune and longevity hi", "gentleman farmer" in window grilles. The village is still an old village, has not been too much intrusion of modern civilization, which is an age-old, before people are deeply moving.
After returning from western Hunan, I have access to an online information and then think Yang is Chinese, and Yang so that the public are no relations, but now people Xiangxi them registering themselves as the Yang Yang Rokuro's descendants, perhaps a result of years of change in the incorrectly relay erroneous messages. However, a reflection of their ancestors, for The Legend of reverence bar.
Deep in the mountains Miao Village in Fenghuang County in the mountains, many of the village Miao, which Miao Shan Jiang and Dole wax mountains are high-profile 2. Miao Shan Jiang went to the road, we saw the most beautiful mountain scenery. Highway in the hill and circled between the lines, and sometimes line to the peak time, but down to the bottom. Wuling Range of mountains around the barrier, green dripping, misty peak, the springs gush from the rock crevices, merged into a trickling sluggishly flowing creek side of the road. Valley, the voice of a particularly far, we could hear people shouting across the mountains, it is conceivable the past miaojia young people face to face with scenes of singing folk songs.
We visited three Miao Village along the mountain river Miao Village, there were indigenous MILLER and WONG home, but has now turned into a museum. La-Er-Shan also save a lot of the Tulou miaojia. We are the most unforgettable thing was the stone bridge Miao Village, although it is not the first two high visibility on the Internet seems to find its data, but because it is located in deep valleys and beautiful scenery. Bridgestone Miao Village in Seoul December gigantic stone bridge near the mountains - Wuchao River Bridge near. Before the bridge is not built, where transportation is inconvenient and inaccessible, is also to go out to catch a set of more than two hours of mountain-ri more than 100 families will be living in this relatively closed environment. Ishibashi Miao mountains near the water, walking on the bluestone Zhaizhong road tread leaves, issued rustle of sound, on both sides of a tall bamboo, with towering trees, there is curl of smoke. Stockade very quiet, you can hear their calls tactfully Jiti and birds. Zhaizhong many people, young people are said to have the mountains cutting wood, or get outside and crafts, and occasionally can be seen carrying firewood to go down the mountain village, or the cows go into the mountains Fangniu Wa. Zhaizhong house patterns are similar, the house the latter part of bluestone Lei Cheng, on the part of the puzzle from yellow mud, gray tiles roof, there are thatched roof, but mostly Chaifang. Hmong house, church house for people in general "home immortal", that is, the ancestors to bless the future generations. More on the ground there is a heated kang, winter heating is used to light a fire. In the village, we also see the tall form of flue-cured tobacco, such as bunker room, as well as the milled rice Square, do not know if 33's grind Square is like that. These novels have been seen only in what the villagers are now still use them.
