May 1 to 5, inspector, Phil and I spent together as wearing a cursory tour of the Guizhou-Guangxi at the junction of the Miao, Dong, Yao, Zhuang stockade. This process, scenic beauty, but left us memorable, and far more than other people's scenic mountains. May 5, in line three of Longsheng cooking wine in the evening on the Journey unanimously issued a "full of expectations prior to departure, come back have no regrets," the feeling!

Begin with the trip. April 30 proceed via Guangzhou, as Canton Fair can not buy tickets, the three of us bumpy night bus ride to Guilin. Be transferred directly to coach a first-Longsheng, Sanjiang onward, national highway road unexpectedly interrupted and had to travel to high-security, and in high-security switch to the people of his own convertible ship to foo, and then from Ferro to Congjiang. Reach Congjiang is May 1 10 pm or so, travel 26 hours. May 2 chartered to Xiao Huang early afternoon bus to stay overnight in Basha. 3, early return from the River, transfer to the Luo-xiang. Re-package of the Ministry of tricycles straight into the Hatsuoki. 4, early in the morning back from Hatsuoki Sanjiang, and then by Longsheng, and finally to Dragon's Back Dazhai Scenic Area. As early as 5 sets tour of the Dragon's Back in the afternoon return to Longsheng, transfer back to Guilin.

篇】 【Food

Although he knows that I write begins with eating, detective, and Phil will quite objection. But "Hunger breeds discontent", the road has its own food, drink, some legend.

Hurry to get somewhere not too particular about the time, the time had to get off on the last, so eat a lot of Dayton "Guilin rice noodle." Ran is a street-side stalls to do two dollars a bowl of soup, also put a broth, pickled cabbage (Suansun or acid beans), storms off pork fried, fried soybeans, the taste is different, the The various delicious. The Hatsuoki eat light on the color and the taste is quite delicate fragrance aftertaste; in Sanjiang to eat the hot and sour taste are not re-cover the fragrant broth; in Congjiang eating felt some special spices, the substantial increase in appetite enunciation Liuxiang; and in the Dragon's Back again to eat special sweet and, in short, all swept away. I do not know the different customs in Guangxi, Guizhou, and different preferences of different ethnic groups, or the water quality of different Shiran. Be able to eat the same way but never tired of repeating hygiene, but also eat a little delicious food count.

Los Angeles school meals in the vast majority of drink. We had a famous Guilin 3 Huajiu also drank Miao, Dong Zhai, and Zhuang Village of rice wine. Is also a rice wine, Walled Walled also different. Dongzhai and Zhuang Water Village is built in accordance with, the brewing of wine seems to have soft water, meaning, like a smile as sweet, the wine has ups and downs with collections of rice grains. However, Dongzhai light and fragrant rice wine, rice wine Zhuang Village turbid and slightly tipsy feeling stronger. Miao Village is a hillside, the brewing of wine as if the mountain with the strength of conviction, Qinglie and slight spicy, as if people are imported from the stomach floating at a touch of warmth.

Guizhou has a special method of preserved food called "amines" (four tones, it could not find the word), reportedly because of lack of salt in Guizhou year, the people invented a way to use acidic water, wine remaining distiller's grains, Add a little pepper or salt soak raw fish, meat approach. In the Miao and Dong Zhai, amine amine fish is not meat and vegetables daily, it should be a special day out of food before, but these foods are eaten raw. We were not used, or invite them to the fire, then eat them grilled. Amine amine fish and meat were distributed, and distiller's grains with sour taste, to eat his mouth very special, and makes a product is also very fragrant, but more or less some were not used to. It is worth mentioning is the fish. Fish is a terrace where each began to turn on the water into the rice fields when the fry until rice seedlings grow up to turn on the water to grow a palm-long fish, all taken out, causing the fish slowly amine food. When we went to Guizhou, there are many rice fields, but also seen near the stockade rework the farmers with a plastic bag containing a bag of fish, walking on the ridge.

Zhuang Village on the yaozhai and there are special kinds of food - bamboo-tube rice. Actually the same one in the mountains, and Zhuang Village do yaozhai bamboo-tube rice taste different. Bamboo-tube rice is ready to cut a whole bamboo bamboo in a hole of the festival will be a good sticky rice mixed filling into, and then a sweet potato to plug the hole. Naqu fire roasted whole bamboo is about half an hour, the outside is basically grilled black bamboo, and inside the rice is also done. Interestingly, even inside the bamboo bamboo clothes are, and glutinous rice stick together, eat together Xiadu. Yaozhai put inside the bamboo-tube rice grains are still some thin meat bamboo shoots and mushrooms tablets tablets, all kinds of flavor seasonings are just right so fully expresses; Zhuang Village is the place where the bamboo-tube rice grain meat, peanuts and chopped fungus , salt, little more freely, the first mouth a little bit short, but the more to eat sticky rice and peanuts, sweet incense more concentrated, a little people unable to stop.

This coincided with bamboo shoots to the Guizhou-Guangxi Masamori. The mountains is not what we usually see a bamboo hair bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots or the Ku Sun, but as a general thin long sharp Tianmushan bian, and the most coarse roots, but the thickness of the big toe, there is more than one foot long. Nen Nen, in Sun Zi's fragrance where there are hair-like eating the last bit of bitter Italian, I feel very clear, non-fine products are products with no success. Together with some local authentic self to do with the fried bacon, eat several tons may still not enough.

【Phil】 In fact, my taste buds by no means Kathy as well-developed taste no different parts of the rice noodles in a subtle, but always be the bar each have their own exciting, otherwise you will not be depriving the Guilin rice noodle I am now a mention on the DC saliva! Another let me forget that wine, and telling the truth This is the first time on the road so many times to drink wine, and discovered that after Lawton mountain breeze blowing, and then two small microphones wine, in fact, is the most pleasant of the!

Detective】 【I there's really nothing that one the way I was impressed with the wine, we are Yuehe Yue Gan He, from the beginning, a small drink a few mouthfuls of courtesy, to the 4 three-night drink a bottle of 3 Huajiu, to 5, at noon on 3 yaozhai consumed four pounds of rice wine, incidentally, also brought along a pound of walking up to this amount of alcohol is not necessarily the number, but the wine did Yuehe Yue Zhuang gall bladder, and Hehe.

【Live篇】

This road is "donkey" tour, although the value of Golden Week, but the way few tourists, in addition to Dragon's Back Zhuang Walled tour saw outside have only seen a number of "donkey" friends. Accommodation can not pay attention to the. We live in Congjiang the best hotels, also 80 a double room. Others live in the stockade where the houses are wooden structures. Usually lived in a building to its master. Food can also be called a host family are doing to eat. The cheapest in the Basha, 10 dollars a person Baochibaozhu. This is what I stayed in one of the most expensive night.

Living in the stone walkways are built in accordance with a slope of Diaojiao Lou wooden structure. From this look is a three-story buildings, on the other side of the slope to see is two floors - the main floor and high attic. May now be less threatening nature, the natural layer of the bottom is not the only Jigen columns. Lei Cheng is usually of stone walls, or the use of timber was divided into the house. The bottom layer is usually the workplace and raising poultry and livestock areas.

Support the house is usually encircle thick logs. Then all of the columns, beams, plates, bars on the built in these logs on. The Walled retain the ancient building method, all of the wood components are fully rely on tenon wedge to the fixed link, a nail to be found. Interestingly, those who vacated the top of the small pillars carved more or less. Ethnic minorities not only on the beauty of nature Dressing on Diaojiao Lou are full of their sight. Diaojiao Lou color addition to the new amendment is the natural light yellow wood, basically a deep gray-brown. Most Diaojiao Lou are done with the tile roof of the. In the drizzling rain as if it had used Youlin like Fanchu Gentle but not eye-catching black light, and Diaojiao Lou integration. There are also many houses or livestock shed still used the bark roof. Bark cracking can argue that a clear, slightly You Niantou bark roof cracks in the bark, turtles gave birth to the moss, deeply shallow dark green disclosed Enron's old-fashioned. Diaojiao Lou color is dark gray to dark, the old stand the throngs of old inconspicuous. Each one seems to have been a solid ground to stand for a long time, but will have been silently and stubbornly stood there, wondering, in respect of each building to an extraordinary story.

Diaojiao Lou is very happy living in the inside. "No three days sunny days" in rainy Guizhou, where wood is dry Diaojiao Lou always be able to smell the fragrance of wood. Even though it was raining outside, the room towels are basically done overnight. People have to admire the accumulation of national wisdom, where the houses are the most suited to local living conditions. Wood fragrance but also has helped with rapt attention and sleep, and even me out the door and sleep bad people, in the midst of insects are always looked on the sound of a sense Shuidaotianliang wood fragrance.

Later, in Walled Zhuang there array of leisure boredom, a well studied Diaojiao Lou found Diaojiao Lou actually has a very special design. Is at least one side (usually east or the sunny side) are all half of it urges, the next half of it urges wood, upper half of a window or on empty. However, under the half of it urges the two-story wooden structure. The outside layer is the same as the railings, which is an active board that can be demolished. Turn is to say, an entire large can be fully open, has become a big roof terrace. If the bad weather, it can become the room immediately. Diaojiao Lou was originally a dual-purpose rain or shine.

We saw all the Diaojiao Lou Village, although slightly different in detail, but there is so special is exactly the same, that is, a sunny corner of the room, there are blocks of brand name, or engraved or painted the "Taishan Stone tablets. " If I remember correctly, stones should be a pure Han Chinese thing, say the truth may be derived from a good guy, in ancient times some of the aptitudes article also said that adult-shaped stones carved to speak teasing flattery flattery of the corrupt officials of the matter, just like a symbol of justice. Later, it seems more turned into a stone monument lettering, roadside stand in front of the house, the specific role I do not know. Here the Miao Dong Zhuang yaozhai years, many people may not know where Mount Tai, but "Tarzan stones" is an indispensable thing, so we are very surprised.

Phil】 【almost all the way to live in wood houses, from the Basha, Chao-hsing, Longsheng, Yangshuo until later, cabin and that faint smell of natural gas, so I am intoxicated. Basha, especially in the old village head home, I slept in a loft on the top floor, no windows, no need to have windows, the moonlight so quietly sprinkled on the bed, pillows above the hanging was also a small hornet's nest , swinging gently in the breeze. Just remember that a good night's sleep at ease, even when there is a good quick daylight a while the barking of dogs, will I wake up slightly, and later gray to sleep, until the sound of the old weekly called a "fast to watch the sunrise" and this opened his eyes, turned itself inside out actually saw a red sun has risen and is shining on the gentle Basha does this piece of quiet in the valley.

【OK篇】

"Ground level without the Three Mile," is a bumpy road in Guizhou. Only jagged, but circled the mountain winds, less than 90-degree turns abound, plus roads are narrow, and there for the dilapidated old, there are many sections do not even asphalt did not shop, but Huang debris sub-pressure, rain water in slippery again, only this section of track to fame or fortune the old drivers, bar. In Guizhou Province of the road, most of the time a car to go on the road, to wait before you can see the car coming across the open. His direction is very little overtaking few.

Probably because they go bad, where the driver addition to the "skilled are bold," outside, but also surprisingly patient can be said that I've seen the most orderly and most gentlemanly drivers. If you want to stop, the driver will choose a relatively open areas, but will try to closely aligns the roadside - usually this means that parking close to the mountain or cliff straight Pro - The aim is to open as far as possible, but also to other drivers can see. Meet the traffic jam, drivers are usually very patient and try to rely on the car parked in the right place. And the distance between cars and trucks than wide, but also encountered a narrow road in particular places or to a sudden turn, the driver would definitely put this section of road all get out, prefer to stop after that. If you need a car to overtake other vehicles are possible with ease. May be rugged mountain people of Guizhou Institute of mutual cooperation and comity 3 first, because they do not get stuck if anyone could not walk for collaboration, or even result in fatal car crash. This point, in Guangzhou and other big cities is invisible - often the entire road is a traffic jam at once densely packed with cars, you have to compete with even half of the front one is not allowed. "Depository really makes me know my manners," poor people use simple way of Guizhou rebuttal of the tubes.

The road down, landslides are abound. All the way over, finally you can see a lot of cars when there is a cave all likelihood, affect the road, caused by poor dealers. Guizhou and northern Guangxi whole area is a very loose rocks, often hand-side of the road of rock breaking off the next one could be. A bubble under the rain, rocks have a gap, coupled with sunny sun, heat evenly on the cracked stone. Landslides vary in time is a little down the road, a small pile of stone and soil, or a small piece of the road suddenly Xianxia Qu, cars can actually OK is not wrong, big time can be for the entire road suddenly disappeared, buried in the stones and mound-ri.

In a small yellow, saw a turn can be more open to the Walled mouth, suddenly interrupted way. Whole landslide, in just within one meter of the road into the mountain. Let us simply an eye-opener 3 - is also perplexing. Fortunately, there are other Mix already have found a way, in the mountains at the foot of inviting throat and tell us Gairuhezou. Had no choice but according to their tips so that the driver stopped the car in other places, we have Hill was removed from the side of the road down, the more streams, wearing a ridge, a big circle around it into the stockade. Side of the road almost fifty to sixty degrees steep mountain, only one person wide, and is surrounded by grass and shrubs are squeezed over to the middle of the road, in our eyes simply can not be called Road. The strange thing is not a big fellow who use the shuttle during the pace soon, Rulvpingdi - there is a large basket carried on the full back, there are Tiaodan son, there are portable duck cage, even the horses have no block The up and down. So that even the squat with a Rotary has also slipped a glance right and left ankle on my sighed Eph such as ah! Down to the foot of the mountain and saw the landslide area, nearly 30 meters wide, the mountain is also visible small pieces of stones and clods rolling down the hill down, thrilling to the Everyone makes their own choices long detour rather glad that there is no direct climb landslides Duan, Phil has also took a photo to mark the occasion. Mountain and the ridge road here are not allowed. In particular the ridge road, because it is in the terraces inside the shuttle, go around here. If you are not going to go the fields, villagers often, then narrow ridge on the loose again, and sometimes not under the foot. Fortunately, everyone can see here, kindly guiding, or say hello with a smile, a cordial and may not feel the alienation and distance. It is that sincere and estrangement, so that this Hill Road and the ridge path up is not so hard, or even walk with relish. Xiao Huang finally to the mouth, but pleasantly surprised to see the driver. Under a question only know that he is to climb directly to the cave area, "I escorted mountain so right along," he said - He looked very old looking at the ordinary cow leather shoes, we looked at each other three say no out of words, over a while, or inspector concluded that "it's too dangerous, we still do not climb well!"

In the time of going to Hatsuoki Tengen heavy rain, the largest 10 meters away when looking across the street are looking for is unclear, the county seat was full of Congjiang flooded with more than 10 centimeters of water. Detective in the car suddenly pointing to the street dressed in a tattered, from time to time to stop looking through the garbage of the beggars said, "Hey, this road is the third time I've seen the old man啦!" - And we drove away was less than a beggar faster. We are told that can only take the bus to Luo Xiang, "because they go bad." In the Luo Xiang Yu had been transferred to small, we finally found a tricycle, over and over again to persuade it to convince the driver chartered Hatsuoki. Just the road, the driver reminded us to "squeeze squeeze forward, followed by Britain too." Skeptical about listening to his words, out of 10 minutes we did not understand that "Britain" into what kind of. Along the way we all pulled the car can be pulled tight with both hands the site, legs forced shore bucket, half-sitting squat to stagger to a Hatsuoki. Although the road to four meters wide, but almost no even one square meter is flat, but not on the road on the water, the exposed surface areas not normally have a wide tricycle. For some, because of the rain on the mountain has formed a small waterfall, cross-flow over the road, our tricycle is so close to the falls trickle over. The most thrilling place to the right side of the tricycle close to a big puddle on the left is a big steep slopes, the body inclined 30 degrees forward carefully rub.

In fact, bad way to go but there are also a blessing in disguise. In the Sanjiang to the high security on the road, there is one out of a car accident blocked for nearly two hours, we have the car plugs in the two mountains and the roadside clip a river, facing a pretty big stockade. Tengen was raining, so that looks across the mist-shrouded mountains and Rain Meng Meng also particularly between the lining of the soft green mountains. Just rain, the river a little muddy, but has not yet been clay-dyed it green jade-like micro-transparent, while the flow rate of a sharp a lot, the broad surface of the river has changed: some swift rivers and microwave, and some water, relaxed and smooth, belonging to different static and dynamic the whole surface of the river, rapids Jingbo Pan honor of all, see people wonder that. Zhaizi is black gray, the mountain was built by the local river like a slender willow, some, such as boats, only one person wide, and indeed the less there are 45 meters long The Hills look at the past, one or two people sitting on board, can not help but to think of "lonely boat Toshio Baba, was the sole fishing trees and snow", but in Rourou to green background, the "snow" if changed to "rain" all the better. There is a leaf on each end of the boat stood a man and a woman, should be a couple, one person stays red umbrella, a person stays blue umbrellas, boat battle in the middle of the river is a beautiful picture of a very coordinated, I can only say "Road is a No clear but mercy ", and wished they could make mountains witness whitehead conjugal bliss.

Of the road while the most abundant harvest is no section of the road. From high security to the National Road Fu Lu is closed roads, farmers can only switch to a wooden machine ships. Phil is estimated to benefit from open-top shipping timber bench, wooden ceiling feeling, a direct jump up, abandoning those who are top of the ship with windows regardless. Later discovered that the ship was gone we chose the slowest. In the fast-flowing areas, only saw the boat in the water to go, but the relative shore is almost not move - the turtles are estimated to climb quickly ashore. Because of the way stop for a long time on board when the rain has stopped, and even started one finally sunrise. 17:00 o'clock the sun (where dark and too late), with a golden rain on the Saxiang you still stained Italian hillside, green and very soft and charming. Even the stones on both sides of the river in the silence and stand upright outside the infected golden moisturizing, smooth soft look of many. Occasional Jiangou and colorful birds and the unknown has brought bursts of surprises. Congjiang on the shore when the sun sets, catch without being able to be in the river above the afterglow Xiepiao, the entire surface of the river is a piece of brilliant orange. Go night boat, white goose, cattle and people from the riverside at leisure Duo, quiet calm to people not even step also relaxing. An uphill to the street when the see the two mountains there is a nearly 20-meter-long stone arch bridge, such as the rainbow hanging in the valleys between the high, the same infected with sunset colors, appear gray stone of the bridge is also James on the yellowish, more humane. Saw this bridge, it is not difficult to imagine the year issued by Marco Polo in the 14th century from the past. Unfortunately, that is a lot of garbage near the bridge, directly from the hillside down to the valley, so I feel unspeakable sadness. Poor Phil and the inspector to take the camera gestures of the bridge a long time, is the film did not go.

On shore waited for half an hour, and so on to another batch of tourists on board the car packed, the car finally opened. Think Congjiang only from more than 1 hours away, we heart relaxed. Unexpectedly, the most surprising thing in this way is just happened. Drove out to less than half an hour, suddenly stopped at the roadside. Asked for a long time before we know the oil is running out. So who is only waiting for a car. Fortunately, a small car just stopped on Chuang-tzu (so small that should not be called Village) Lane. So like the film character's detective finally found along the way is not the only opportunity we have to press the lens with his leisurely observation of the people in the Zhuang Zi. After the photo to see him, some home-made car on the road to play the children is where the scene was shot. In this small Chuang-tzu Lane to wait two hours, I do not know can not find where diesel fuel or diesel fuel is too expensive Chuang-tzu, we wait until the last departure from the Fu-lu to pass before Congjiang car to our car added to the diesel. Oiling equipment, we discovered that before the driver is not really used a drop of oil left. Even from the tank to the engine tube ran out of oil gave him, so that although the loading of oil, but because asphalt can not start running out of oil cars. All the way to Congjiang time, have been nearly 9 o'clock.

There is also the road can not fail to mention a fun thing. Is out of small yellow return from the River road, halfway to open a truck full of stones into the roadside paddy fields, the entire left rear wheel stuck in the mud where it does not really come out. Because it filled with stones, the car next Alice, so that the front Buzhao way to Alice in mid-air. Fortunately, after the near collapse because the big roads, there are ready-made crawler excavators. Blocked due to road as a whole, we climbed the terrace of the ridge watched excavators 1.1 points should first truck Cha Du-ri stone Grilled out, shop at the edge of the paddy fields, so that we can rely on excavators into the point, and then and then tried to lift the truck with the bucket flat. When the first test may be not close enough excavators, trucks and stones again too, so that the whole excavator up behind Alice nearly 30 degrees. Fortunately, the driver responsive, or if even excavators have also turned into paddy fields, then we might have to spent the night of the ridge. Finally, excavators also折腾了半天the stones to call out of the car, finally, as the mother fed the bucket gently like a copy left in the truck wheels below - associated with at least one cubic meter of mud - the Truck copied to gently tied. On this Council, we have the Ministry of tricycle in front of the vehicle inside the large pigs are fat, Zhuang standing impatiently went back to sleep, sleep another station, changed position many times.

All in all, this way, we take the sizes of the various long-distance bus, riding a tricycle, vans, also sat pull goods in the back of box-type truck, as well wrap it like a bread three taxis, plus ride the boat. Old Zhou said that tourism often go out to the last is the way how I remember how difficult it is, then we should have a wealth of memories啦!

【Old Zhou篇】

As mentioned in the old weeks, we simply add an "old weekly articles," talk about the "Fun" and the old weeks. Old Zhou was the first "Laolv." Said he was old, because apart from Taiwan Province, he does not have to go outside the law, and Guizhou provinces he traveled the last leg, "Donkey Tour" experience of seasoned. He was not old age, on the Great we have a teen. Listen to his conversation, there should be a pretty good career, but he seemed not think it is very important, nor did it talk about.

Old-week "interest" is that he likes to travel, that does not come across a few months on the "Feeling Awful," he was never out of travel with the group, tour groups which he dubbed "duck tours" was again taken from quarrels small flag came rush to offer.

Old-week "interest" because he away from home, a non-chartered, to reach out with the road ride, saying "This tour was fun," the second to prefer to live in the houses, the rarely staying in hotels, saying that it can "make good talking to ordinary people to understand them. " But contempt for those weeks old donkey carrying a bedding roll, saying that houses can be found somewhere to live and he would not back tents sleeping bags, "dead weight dead weight, and out of the tourist, not those who show off their equipment."

Old-week "interest" also lies in his enthusiasm and a little stubborn Mix. Basha go with us, along with accommodation, with the return from the River, a meal before pursuing their own course. But the older weeks will insist on all the costs must be AA, said it was "Mix of the rules, must comply with." We were reluctant to part with some of the former is inevitable, drinking wine with each other to leave telephone, e-mail, send us the old Zhou insisted on the train. We are sorry, the old Zhou also requested a "Mix the rule," the ultimate "victory way" and we bid farewell at the station.

Old-week "interest" also lies in his approach toward photography - with the inspector's words, he is a "professional photography enthusiasts," but he joked that his camera as "seizing and using the bricks and mortar," the camera while hanging in the the neck, but rarely lifting. Weeks with only an old black and white film. Occasionally cardiac want to take pictures, he will be skull-bone head slightly as he raised his camera, while muttering, "this one tour, this one visit" before they press the shutter.

Old-week real "interest" lies in his profound knowledge of peace and attitude. In the Basha's one night, four of us chatted for a long time, astronomy and geography of biological literature, said he seemed to have studied under and have their own set of ideas rather than superficial. In dealing with food, housing and and landlords get along, he also seemed to randomly Road, Dover, such as so few of us sighed; and weeks of life in the old office of one indifferent attitude to all of us, "Dan Junzizhijiao water, "the enthusiasm, people felt drawn to him-they're starting to life skills.

And old a pity that only a short period of weeks to get along one day, we are looking forward to next weeks old can be something where another tour.

Detective】 【weeks old equipment is FM2 +50 / 1.4 header, is the ILFORD black and white film. Without a tripod. I feel old when they mutter prayers-week shooting things, "this one tour, this one visit" is definitely comforting myself: could not be filmed in the hit film of what may from time to time, or did not grasp the row of good times could not help but want to shoot, then use these words to comfort ourselves. - Kinda useful. Figure is an old question in the swing Sahuan weeks.

篇】 【Xiao Huang

Xiao Huang landslides near the time of half an hour standing in the way of us taking a devious route forward, keep the villagers along the way "Hello" and sincere smiles so that we understand in advance to the Dong Jia hospitality.

Prior to enter the stockade is a rare one to see a flat, a large paddy field tile on the roadside, there are seemingly leisurely Dong China rushing cattle in the fields, together with the mountains and the huts not far from the background to do good a Shangri-la's leisure scene. Phil sudden inroads of the farm to take pictures of. Detective on the road into the village, I got sick, we face the catch ducks, cattle drive a while a quick photo of the Dong people. The Dong people are very accommodating here, and you shoot you, he still beat by pressing his own to go its own way, will you kindly smiled. I saw the side of the road three or four children to keep on playing two very strange animal, like a red dazzling Sijiao Yi. The kids to see me curious, na?ve and somewhat tricky to say "This is a gecko, not afraid of!" Smiled and then bowed to dedicate ourselves to let the two animals fighting. Later, in Guangxi to see animal protection map, before we know the so-called "gecko" So the national animal protection chameleons. Unfortunately, did not persuade them to put them.

All the way down the road walking in Dongzhai Village. Found in the roadside fields have something very special. Is a very, very small wooden timber stays with the four corners of the fields from the fields about one meter high, the platform is only half of it urges on the wall in front of only 40 centimeters high, the back no more than 70 cm. And more than one place in the fields near the ridge. After I saw the wooden huts have been, they would understand that the original was a toilet. To facilitate directly into paddy fields, reflects the ecological consciousness of the Dong people instinctively.

Saw walked in front of a Boasting - Boasting is a special product of Dong is to built a wooden bridge above the pavilion Alice eaves, inside near the top of the pavilion where all the murals painted on the lifestyle. Bridge before the festive costumes are a group of young men and women. Bought a ticket, of which a girl Ying accompany us on the way to go in the stockade. Dongzhai girl's clothes is very special. First, when the material will be re-dyed cloth ordinary egg pigment is added, the results from the ordinary dark blue on the material will become a dark purple discoloration, Yingying, and as if to drown out the light plastic film as anti-. T-shirt is a narrow waist narrow Zhaixiu son, but his breast about the short one, can not join together to reveal inside stomachers. Dudou is also done with the same sub-pigment, neck I added a 5 cm color lace, mostly girls in their beautiful embroidered designs. Angle below the waist are all part of the box with bright colored cloth to fight out, because the coat He Bulong, Yanyan dew out. All four sides of the Dudou out of hand woven ribbon inlay side. Although there are two behind Dudou tape, but the remaining unusually long, to the vest until the local knot, tie a knot at hung a large solid walnut micromalus silver locks. I asked this neck Ying weight not heavy, she Minzui smiled, not answered. Dong Pleated skirt is a group, a convolution with one or two centimeters (this is not the same as other ethnic groups), it is interesting legs still tied dark blue cloth, cloth external color leggings line live, in my eyes they seem everybody calf curves are the United States. The girls were all wearing shoes, most of embroidered flowers. Men's clothing on a simple multi-, the same deep purple fabric, but Duijin Smock and compared a wide straight jeans, the only special point is that the length of trousers is only nine points.

Come before heard Xiao Huang is the song of the township, born everyone singing, choir, such as Sound Of Nature. Just come across another group of tourists, consult with other group of people to ask them to perform more than sing. Apart from dried on and the Ying and the other a girl - Ni-fang chat. I asked them both a short chorus, they are not tweaks, Ying played a tune on the combined Ni Fang up. 1 "on the folk songs" sung indeed euphemism sounds, mixed with crisp tones simulated birds, though did not understand, but people have light up. And two people as good a natural separation of the tones together as fragrant forests everywhere, what musical instrument feel redundant.

A singing, it seems to addict to get acquaintance and the two girls up. Ni-fang one heard that we have to eat, they volunteered to take us to her cousin - Mei Lan's house. Meilan at home should be an important figure in the village (seems to be secretary at home), the exhibition hall of the village is located in her home, there is a room not stop playing the folk of the VCD, there are villagers out of school in Western painting, set up of a small personal exhibition on display at the main entrance of her home on both sides of the aisle. She also opened a shop specializing in selling home-made and the villagers care for all kinds of souvenirs on sale. Methylene blue appear graceful manners, temperament a little bit different. She gave me the impression that the enthusiasm for showing competence in the family who run into problems of the city to look for her, as though in order to solve the problem. And methylene blue to speak of her article that very reason, we have songs with the group of people was the Central Conservatory of Music, and in their interviews / inquiries singers of the time, methylene blue has almost become their spokesman, correct answers will be owed when very comfortable. This point I was very surprised and impressed.

Please help us in the methylene blue cooking process, we and the children playing outside the house into a. The children in our invitation without finding a way to sing the song on. 1 heard singing, more children and adults up surrounded by more and more and more children to sing together again. It is surprising that the children, and some appear to be less than 5 years of age, have a good singing voice, and sang to no one and who fled spontaneously on the separation of the channel, and combine seamless. The children sang, methylene blue, and Ni-fang, a side of the busy side of the combination, as if singing is a part of their life and into the atmosphere in their being. We come up with sugar as early as prepared, distributed to the children when the Ni-fang, still beside in good faith, reminds us that will not necessarily give the sugar, do not give candy kids love to sing. There are two kids gave me a particularly deep impression on him. One is the lead song of the little girl. Her long, thin, a very upright and the face looks beautiful, but you just noticed that she looked a pair of turn one's eyes, as if speaking, but also seems to constantly explore the surroundings. She is out of this provisional Minato heart of Les Petits Chanteurs, each time she first played a tune, and then we sing along with co-author. She sang the soprano part, regardless of the other kids how to sing, no way to suppress her voice, looked crisp and melodious, is the song's soul. The little girl singing with great attention, and our applause, a small sugar only make her quiet smile, and then returned to her solemn expression when singing, so I think she is just singing and singing, and her singing in a natural reveal to a child's right around the leadership and influence, as if a child how to speak without a head. The other makes me feel special is a 45-year-old girl, looks very small, round Basin Series the last two eyes is almost rounded the. She seemed to stop also stepped instability, but also shy and shy, and often with two hands New Zealand skirts heads bowed quietly through the long eyelashes looked at us. She lightly heads bowed and secretly laughed especially sweet, while laughing while also around the corner of Piaozhuo, very cute. This small babies are particularly willing to sing, though sing very well, often singing and singing on the lost team, to lead two words to find one tune. Nevertheless, she has to sing back straight, and hands to stop the New Zealand clothing, heads up, and big eyes look squarely at our audience, as if filled with self-confidence. A finished singing "hey pulling" (Dong language inside is over, stopped the meaning of the end of each song will be sung), she returned to Koh looks back bow of the shy, she seems to not learn to take the initiative to take over our sugar, each times should factor into her hand and pulled her hands. From these two kids, I deeply felt singing for Xiao Huang Dong-min of the importance of singing is like breathing to eat them as natural and indispensable.

Ni-fang and we chatted cooked, and I go hand in hand with her tour of their pavilion. Along the way, she and I whispered a lot of their custom. Ni Fang told me, the small yellow, many of the songs, the mountains there are mountains of the song, down a down a song, farming, walking, stopping by, inviting guests, festivals, and even cooking and have different songs throughout the year. Children can be said to learn to speak while singing on the side of the school. An early age, children under conditions of their own voice learn to sing the appropriate tone. Were few people, export is the harmony, no one would sing out of tune. Ni Fang told me that here you can marry a girl 16 years old (I can not check whether there are ethnic minorities Marriage exception), but she is now 20 years old, had yet to fall in love, because "that is still too early." We usually go to the Drum Tower in love (and Boasting a landmark and said Dong, richly ornamented, a pavilion, such as the pagoda-like top layer after layer) and the small mountain pavilion, or on at home. Ni Fang took us to a small hilltop, from small hill looking down, the whole Dongzhai glance, wooden roof over the lush forests of trees, very beautiful. In the mountains, Ni Fang suddenly smiled and said I'll give you to pick any point of fruit to eat, after actually came from the hillside, very dangerous Wanliaoyaozhai leaned out and hands. I desperately called her Do not picked too dangerous, and she smiled back to nothing. When she came back out the palm, the palm is more than a lot of finger big raspberry, red, slightly purple. These raspberries imported especially sweet, but sweeter is our heart. Ni-fang is a welcome team members, so she is also a dress, but she secretly told me that the next set of clothing in the sun too hot, she was out of a sweat, and sweat soaked clothes were faded, and at the same time leggings also bind her pain. I advised her to take off clothes better, like the other people in general wear a thin white outer coat, and she shook her head, "They (the village people) would say to see my" The implication is that she is welcome team members, will certainly be the best, or else sorry visitors, will be the village to other criticism. Dong-Min Xiao Huang's really honest to the meticulous. Ni Fang is now the welcome team members, do not need to go to work in the fields farming, so she was happy with the simple.

Dinner time, methylene blue, and Ni-fang, a sudden smile came over sparkling Juzhaojiubei. This is a welcome wine Dong welcome an honored guest. 2 Dong beauty suddenly went around, while singing while feeding their own drink, that was a completely new experience. It seems few of us are all the semi-stiff body, a look of happiness and awkward smile, blush so that they both gave us wine sent to the lips - as if this wine is particularly sweet.

After dinner soon after performed. Ni-fang, and Meilan are a performance team members, went upstairs changing clothes. Down time for us to refreshing. Before they had a dress, but do not wear silver. Now they head to bring the bird ornaments and silver wings, moving slightly shaking Shi Hai, neck hung a 23 by two chopsticks thick silver bullion stocks of Gentiana twisted into a necklace, plus two long fingers into the abdomen of the rough Follie son (hollow), and a big silver locks, silver following silver tassel hanging from thin thick. With the rough hands of several silver bracelets, tied around the waist of the corset, above densely crowded with large round silver piece. After the department was also on the waist belt, belt silver tassel hanging from the end also. Silverware gently against the light enveloped both in their body, only walking silver issued by the collision of friction musical sounds and their familiar smile, reminds us of their real existence. Ni Fang tells us that silver was their home for generations. Each girl must be from the mother to prepare a set of (as if 14 years old, and I do not remember). Unfortunately, marriage is the last time a girl with a headdress, after which only important holiday with the other accessories, but once the birth of a child would have all of these beautiful silver closed up, leaving his daughter for future use. If you've got two girls, the mother had Prepare all the necessary two sets, "Fortunately, my family I was the only one girl," Nicole Fong said with a smile. Dong girl's beauty is only a short few years, once the children would suggest fully the physical and psychological commitment to family responsibilities, this can not let me admire the courage and Dong women's virtues, at the same time feel sorry for them. Ni Fang hope you can enjoy by her young to enjoy their own singing, beauty and sunshine bar!

Music and dance as if the whole village to attract people who, in addition to a large bench inside the Drum Tower (one with more than half a meter wide, 67 meters long) space gave us these tourists, the Drum Tower was surrounded by the villagers, the children were also bold walked around us, according to a pillar or on the Drum Tower in terms of the railings performances. Dong-man, takes on a whole with a cloth wrapped around the headdress, but also appears solemn and Ying Ting.

Methylene blue was originally treble inside the women's lead singer, foreign and announcer. As expected, these carefully selected team members performance, singing a different song to do. If the Teana music, but also when is so primitive, simple and harmonious, penetrating mind again he went, again and again throbbed. Xiao Huang listening to the song, I really have a sense of the world musical instruments are redundant. When Ni-fang, methylene blue, and Ying see me in and they say hello, make faces, or give thumbs boast that they sing well, they will be sweet sweet smile smile, singing but not block, or I can Detective and Phil will be scolded啦!

After listening to the songs, we decided to leave the Dongzhai. Let me took place in a memorable event. Methylene blue were down at an interview, the store only the Ni-fang look. I have taken a fancy to do a horn tinderbox, Ni Fang do not know what the price, so she would directly tinderbox to me and told me to look down Meilan. This meet by chance on the confidence generated without any doubt so that we three are very different: if Ni Fang did not mind the concept of doubt that we put on so many things away. Down the mountain to find a big circle did not find methylene blue, but the Ni-fang's trust so that I kept asking the villagers where methylene blue. Hard to find Meilan, says This is a consignment goods, she did not know the worth, so she said to me that the number of how many. And the Ni-fang, like methylene blue has also given me her unconditional trust. Finally, I can only regret the powder keg back to the methylene blue, because I could not bear to me that the price outweighed the value of both live up to them. Perhaps in the city life that we have been accustomed to watch and suspicion, Dong human innate generosity and sincerity touched me deeply.

Phil】 【left Xiao Huang, in addition to the graceful voice is still lingering in the ear other than me was also embroidered a more refined work, "robe." Never aspire to be able to wear an old clothes I wear, how actually did not expect a sudden put on a robe, but also do Dong hand embroidery. Later, Chao-hsing and Longsheng, when it is cold at night, and this really put to the big robes handy!

Detective】 【stockade I have a very beautiful terraces:

【Basha篇】

This travels in the whole weight of the heaviest one, in fact, write in front of so many hearts there is a small idea is to try pulling the first to write another chapter in Basha, as Basha gave me the feeling too much, we often think of BIA sand, and my heart is always a good feeling on the other is the heart.

Study the root in the end, we have identified Basha is a major driving force in this trip. Because there are thousands of Basha Miao Village customs, because men are still stubbornly Basha site the bun. Forced to admit that I have is with the mental adventures of sand into the BIA. However, Basha its natural simplicity of the way I first joined the Basha 15 minutes to change my state of mind. When walking, we were full of emotion and speechless with melancholy to leave Basha. Basha, a quiet village not normal.

First entered the Basha has been the approach of dusk. In Xiao Huang busy day, people are tired, the sun drying the skin has also been hurt, and out of layer after layer of sweat, pace and seemed to be a lot of Shen. Basha into a small square in front, the highest point in the whole Miao Village, while there is a repair half of the pavilion, looks as though it is very new. Opposite the square is one that no one has been studying school classrooms empty classrooms the old old as I read more than 20 years ago, elementary school. In this small range where it is not feel any particular place, can not help but a little disappointed.

"既来之,则安之." With a little disappointed, we started down the hill, that is, in the village walk. Just a few steps Road, Basha with the feeling of not letting them silently disappear in seeped out - first, the temperature had been lowered 23 degrees. Yi Gu soak into the depths of the coolness volume over, the spirit of one of the cool people, physical strength also returned 23 points. Then eyeful of the green. Light than the dark outside the village while the soft, but even the sun seems to have become a light green filter, languidly through foliage, no matter how impervious surface drying is also drying up slightly steaming water vapor.

Basha is so quiet. We are a pedestrian walking on the village road, actually do not see a shadow. Around one another from time to time passing between the Diaojiao Lou, but the whole village is quiet to allow us to hear their own footsteps and not hear the sound of Along The only accompanied by the birds do not know where the sound could not quite true to distinguish between near and far. - We do the wrong place?

The only walked to see a popular thing, by the roadside on the slopes of a small tree down held hostage a cage or a basket of something similar to the above non-fabric covered with a cloth like a colored piece of cloth-phase hard as well as hand-woven lace things. Climb to a view, originally a women's pleated skirt. The pleated skirt Miao Village and Dongzhai not like a pleated only 23 millimeters wide, densely filled with a pleated skirt. Dongzhai The pleated skirt is the same color, the Miao Village sub-layers, respectively, with different colored fabric from the waist rolled out, and have a Department of Kua is the traditional dark blue dyeing. Beautiful and interesting. Put the process of making pleated skirts down stretch in the baskets on the dry stereotypes - Topics fork far away, when we looked like the end of this cage thing, decided to try to see into the family. Then along the steep slopes to climb on the dirt road came to a height Diaojiao Lou positive.

A front door of a black and adapted to 23 seconds only to find it is a place like the kitchen. That can not see anything we like is that the kitchen will be used to things, including water tanks, stove, and daily necessities. In this corner of the square of 45, under a wire hanging from the ceiling, knee high places are all hanging on a black pot inside and out, the following has a washbasin on the ground the size of depression, which burn is not very Wang fire. Do not see if there is a real rickets between the back of the lady sitting in the shadow. This kitchen is the only one throughout the building to the land surface. Others are wooden structures, wandering out at night when it is found that the kitchen is the only lighting on the roof two or three palm-size skylights, no wonder that in the evening in the kitchen looks like night. Through the kitchen to the living room, home furniture, rustic and simple, wooden structure, mainly through the living room went to a large balcony. Large terrace house should be a main site of human activities, which placed a 23 Zhang bench, and 56 small stool. Shun-Pian Xiang made the old host family accommodation, was simply to agree.

To lay down their luggage, we continue our tour is almost aimlessly. Basha evening was very beautiful. Went to a few trees where panoramic view of the entire valley. The valley is the layer upon layer upon layer of terraces, no water is shallow Rourou of tender green, step by step done to the foot, due to mist, gradually become blurred, like a watercolor painting inside Yun-dye. Days is a dense cloud of lead, but the sun broke free from the shackles of clouds, from the edge of stubbornly stuck a light at their feet, to straight into the bottom track of a bunches of light and seemed to be terraced with the vigor and vitality. Impervious to the bottom of the probe light fog, the entire valley has been the sun light orange, light green terraced fields and trees filled with large and small, and without leaving a little gap, the United States was like fairyland, down seems those of us outsiders is superfluous.

Turned down the hill to see the whole sub-stockade is also a pleasure. Stockade was surrounded by trees, in the evening light orange light and mist of the shadow is also a soft green, as if drops of water can come. All rooms are deep dark gray, do not see people, do not see the lights, poles, towers, or any reinforced concrete thing, is a dream-like pastoral co-ordination, as if in such a landscape where would think of "white clouds the depths of someone in the family, "a poem, a sudden, we can not help but forget where they had.

Basha one wonders, is their Wo dry, rough road one by one with the sized logs erected, there are more than two layers tall. In the village there is only a small piece of flat land, almost slightly larger than the badminton court, the middle of all sides and Wo drying rack. Wo drying rack on top is a meter of the bark of a small roof, the shelves around the middle of each half a meter that is a beam, looks like a very wide, pulling the ladder. We went not planting, not the harvest season, Wo drying racks are empty. Basha Miao Village is said that people who put the rice after the harvest, together with rice straw, Wo laundry drying rack until dry, then back room storage. In the evening, Wo drying rack looks especially tall, dark brown shelves as if revealing a natural sense of Cang seems to have seen the earth-shaking, as if even the texture of wood are described in the story of history. Wo sat drying racks, the space-time seems to have been cut off Wo drying rack, "I wonder if there Han, regardless of the Wei-Jin" Maybe the feeling is this. Wo drying rack under an old man (detective doggedly determined he is the stockade where the oldest people), and a look of wrinkles imitation Daoxue wood carvings, as Chen Huang old wood color; but expression is very special, can not see any to compassionate concern, but also do not see the enjoyment of life, joy, and has not been woodenly after suffering torture, more like beyond the understanding of "too on the emotion-laden" realm, as if everything is around him has nothing to do with him again fundus . Do not need any words, standing by Wo disorder drying rack space separated, he is like Wo drying racks, drying rack like the Wo is him.

Along the hillside all the way down, in the village is still not quiet to hear the human voice. The light is fading, becoming more and more is a tranquil village. Diaojiao Lou to see some other kids were already there. They are also very curious, have a little to avoid health, often say a few words on the flash went to one side gone, a moment, and from Diaojiao Lou heads stuck inside watching us. I went into one, there is a small, estimated at about four years old girl, there is a big point on the fourth-grade boy. Their mother saw me on the floor, has been accompanied with a smile on one side (I suspect she does not speak Mandarin), there is a not a little boy and I was chatting up words. The little girl good as gold, and her hand holding a head-sized rice bowl, the other hand push lightly with chopsticks to eat. Although the large bowl, only the bowl of food, looks like a mixture of rice flour and rice, can not see any traces of food, widow widowed.

Continue to stroll, we reached the foot of the mountains. Basha was found throughout the water. Originally a village of people use the eye with a spring, which trickle down the mountainside with exudation Let me just want to use "tears" to describe. The village people assemble in the spring a similar pond side of the stone edge, but the pool house of the water and even shop discontent bottom. The two women Mao Zhaoyao scoop water with the ladle bottom blowing, each time only a saliva scrapings. I could not help but ask them how long you can scoop a ladle full of little buckets - the answer is 10 minutes. Simple calculation, they have to spend 10 minutes walking down from the hills came the sole source of water, it took 20 minutes of time filled with water, Liang Tong, and then spend 10 minutes walking home, not even counting the time waiting in line - the edge of the pool stands a row of seven or eight barrels. Is difficult to imagine, in the sunny days without three days of Guizhou, actually the mountains so dry! However, in these women face, and actually do not see the weariness and helplessness, and their smile is still hospitable and sweet. This is the first time such a close feeling of the importance of water, is also deeply aware of the Basha of people is why water recycling to water conservation. That night, when the hospitable hosts who looked side to the small Banpen water to wash us, we deeply feel guilty. The next day, we invariably bring with us from the mountains outside of bottled water brush your teeth, could not bear to use their precious Jos water.

The following morning waking, the inspector and the old weeks have been got up for a long time to see the best sunrise. Hurriedly washed (which may be our most economical one, a bottle of water was divided into two persons) that we lose time to walk around. Because the farmers are all done before dark, go home from the fields the morning, the popularity of the wang a lot, from time to time there is a plate with a bun, Bei Zhaoqiang and baskets, the latter hung with sickle farmer walked hip. Night and get along with a host family, especially the Old Wu, accompanied by village head, we are here has already been a sentiment, feeling their distinctive clothing is well deserved, and the surrounding environment is like mixed into one.

Also riding on the morning circle around the village, the village at dusk, when hot phenomenon than a lot of the children, women, there are a lot of dogs have added a lot of angry voices. Suddenly heard the monotonous rhythm of the pound, listened along with the sound of it into the farmers saw the three girls in the pile meters. Two girls, one a foot in the spile on the jump up and down, like a very strange crafts dance, sweat from their forehead, slide down from their dressing neat bun on the damp out of a chaotic Lianglv hair, he saw us, they keep hands and feet, they bloom the face smile. The other older women in spile instant lift-off mortar inside the mortar beam rolling rice or millet laid directly good at turning the uniform, she knew we stood behind her, but without looking, and looked focused and Action is very crisp. The early morning sun through the small shed in their back window, so I think they are beautiful. Come out to see a group of kids, including the little girl the day before good as gold, and a man in full national costume and stubbornness, stubborn little boy, Phil quickly, and their mix. Detective shot a lot of good photos.

Shuttle in the dirt road, passing a mother with a very lovely child will not walk, I am curious to ask a "is a boy or girl ah?" May be the mother will not use Mandarin to answer directly to the child's clothes tease up and allow us to judge this issue. Her direct and candid, as well as such there is no sense of distance move, once again remind us Basha's lovely, and honest.

The other families before a child's mother carrying a child m piles. She had only one person, armed with long sticks in the stick of a broom tied a fiddle with the mortar inside the rice. Basha pile m cooking is women's work, and they were right before every meal to get 12 straw piles, and then finished cooking, and never more than once for the lazy and the pile point. Three meters away, her husband, smiling, stood watching. Although I can only see her silhouette, I think that women in the pile meters should be very happy, she was for the own home and the loved ones happy with crafts.

Bid farewell to the old village head one, the seven of us around to find a Miao Village around 8 swing. 56 meters-long two shares of straw rope hung in the high branches, the end of one meter from the ground punched a large knot. Particularly long because of the rope swinging from them are also particularly vulnerable, before and after the ups and downs, the seem to float in the air to see blue sky through the branches, leaves and sunlight, feeling almost from the day special.

In the Basha, the real emotion, but reluctant to let us, is a place of refuge Zhezhi culture.

Most people in the village named roll, reportedly rushed to the scene this year by Han Chinese, the ancestors of poor rural feel ashamed of defeat when the fact that a change of surname angrily to descendants of Lai Chi. Hmong men, including Basha hair bundles are derived from the original custom. Here, clearly a man of the year retained brave and sturdy. Although no birds have been able to play, they will still form a unique bird a day carrying a gun, reads, "Who stole my cattle, I carry a Who!" In such an isolated Miao Village, stealing cattle in the village is a piece incredible, and I think they may not have 10 years an opportunity to use their guns, but gun and knife like a totem birds in general, stubbornly vent out the flow of blood inside the Basha's tough man. Bloody outside, where men also in their own way to express the tenderness. The mountains far away from the fields in particular. Because of the steep mountains, each a very small area of terraced fields, planting can imagine how difficult. Basha men with lunch every day and their panniers, tools, knives, guns expedition like to go farming. Days almost all rotten to the core can also see farmers taking advantage of moonlight go home. When he saw the elderly host family a son with a towel, rubbed the side of the sweat between thoracodorsal while facing the family with a smile waiting for dinner, the air so light mi a Hantou atmosphere, I saw a man bear Basha family responsibilities, pride and without hesitation.

Basha woman is flexible, in the men's under the care, they are not involved in the farm far away in the valley. In the hillside watching homemade rice seedling greenhouse are of half a boy and watching the heated kang watched the textbooks. Farm work is a man's responsibility. Needless to say as long as the woman, a good cook, manage the home, optimistic about their children - they have to weaving, clothing, carrying water, pile rice cooking, etc. All these require considerable patience trivial housework. Basha's home, even though there is no neat furniture, but the ground is clean, and can be seen without a woman or a contingent ignores any details of the family. Should know that in such a primitive village, each home is an unimaginable burden. We have seen in Basha of older women, are bent spine of the shrimp-like, will be many years of weight-bearing physical exertion and lack of nutrition Shiran.

Despite harsh conditions, but each person's face is calm and smile. Here, hard, we are the outsiders, not theirs. They have is that the mountain part of the men, although one is not high, but they all tall and straight as a mountain-like fortitude, women's, such as a tree-like, rooted in the mountains for the mountain again with the green leaves of the storm and sun block sun. "Male farming women weave" of the pastoral life, the real co-ordination is the fact that a tacit agreement had each other and spared. They are poor and peaceful.

Basha were not unaware of the outside world is very exciting, but the entire nation invariably made a cultural choice. Even Old Wu's father, the village, "village with the second-person" can also be a strange pronunciation of Mandarin and we chat about where it came from, even though he only knew of Yunnan and Guangxi. The old man told us that there are a lot of people go out to work, were later returned. They are willing to do poverty, I do not know. However, kids can see the characteristics of the entire nation. Without exception, all the boys here, sporting a long hair, that proud little boy proudly told us that because he had read, so you can set hair, the other boys do not read too fat has not yet set. The teachers are all short hair outsiders to teach them, are also in accordance with China's compulsory education system by the culture - foreign culture. Even in such a culture foreign disseminated, as long as a school, the boys will certainly raise the hair is set up. According to our observation, here is never mandatory requirements for children to the elderly to retain their traditions, Basha who is very respected and emphasize that each person's self-selection, only to poetry, children who have been selected between breaths Basha people's way, they retain their traditions are proud of.

The choice of such a culture is in no way affect the people Basha tolerance and acceptance of other cultures. This is also Basha cultural peculiarities. Basha could not see anything on the outside culture, longing, envy, jealousy or rejection, rejection, and hostility. Which are in other minority or disadvantaged groups in the face and deal with cultural conflicts, is easy to show emotions. From Wu village of more than 20 dollars a heave a deep sigh of books can be seen that they are not rich; from Wu mayor and current mayor of the roll body, we can see that they are also strongly to adapt to the changes of life, in his Tourism to facilitate the creation of conditions in the economy through tourism to improve the situation of the villagers. But the more people get along, and Basha, the more feel that they are as calm as a pond, guarding the square earth, Xiao Kan Feng Yun even after the world try to keep calm and to choose the previous life. Apparently, they do not like many other ethnic minorities, for tourism or economic development to maintain and deliberately exaggerating the tourists who like to discuss some of the traditional, the kitsch buried in the spiritual pillar of our nation, they are still migrating over the year that the groups, despite the lack of thousands of people, but they can feel that they and their ancestors are the same strain. They made What are the dynamics of cultural choices, their national cohesion is the core of what we discover in the short to stay in less than a question. If there is sorry that this may be that we only regret in Basha.

Hmong Basha of outsiders is very friendly, Old Wu village head one pairs of hospitality that we are very grand. As long as we at home, man of the house will be put aside to talk with us all these things accompany. Even our meals are personally accompanied Wu village seat, rest of the family to eat the other in the dim room. After dinner, Wu village to stay with us to chat, when we talk that he may have been not very aware of the topics he just sat quietly stayed with us, it appears that neither lonely nor bored, and no curious look, as if simply did not feel that we inadvertently gave him the culture of the pressure. From the Old Wu village head who I saw Basha the way people deal with cultural conflict is neither complacent, but not belittle, but frankly face up on the basis of respect for others, tolerance. Such as courtesy to guests, neither overbearing nor servile, and even described by Fan Chung-yen "non-material-happy not to have been sad," as they reinforced concrete inside the city was gradually buried in the Chinese tradition, but rather lack of it in the Basha thousand people overnight, experienced stone walkways, and intractable. Do not know whether the inherent fortitude Basha sturdy and forced to move to Badlands setbacks brought about by the great wisdom of people raised their hands so that Basha has been rare between carrying enough dedication, steadfastness and calm.

Basha Jean deserves our greatest respect. When leaving Basha, we found that villagers in the village vary as to the price of two to three times higher than outside the sale of Basha's traditional clothing. Basha people still do not have an inclusive rather as a way to let other people doing other people their own choice. Basha left when saying a word along the way I think about the way how is the best for the Basha, I admire Basha that the human spirit and their choices, and felt that poverty and the decline should not be the fate of their nation. Detective clearly than I deeply considered. He has thought how to use Basha way people can receive to help them, such as how to help them solve the water problem.

Use it in the first twilight of their cattle to the end of the bar, this stubborn people like this head of cattle raised my head, like weight-bearing, silent, and firmly.

Phil】 【online there are many Basha's comments, most of them are talking about how today's Basha has been how taste has changed to also skeptical before I went to then I would think that those comments are ridiculous. I only believe those attacks Basha has been the commercialization of the people would surely not have swallowed in the evening when the stockade walked quietly paths, certainly not with the stockade with his elderly drying racks in the empty Wo had issued stay, there will not and here, the elderly, children, men and women have had a real conversation, not just out of curiosity to inquire. We are very fortunate that the evening before into the stockade, but also in the early morning departure, there is no more adventures like the money of people like to let them perform, we are just very careful of their lives into the scene to go, but certainly not in the side of the just watch, I would like is to go back to my familiar dream, no, probably should be a past life of the home bar. This is one I vowed to go back to the place, because there are far too many miss the ~ ~

Detective】 【Until now, a look at photos, I still feel a little alarmed at the Basha pictures of different people and the small yellow, small yellow figure is a joy, with songs, photos, there is a like a water-like the flow of feeling.可是岜沙的人物，哪怕是小孩子，在镜头前都是沉静，严肃，给人一种山石的感觉。

【肇兴篇】

肇兴是一个法国人在很久前发现的村落，一个四面环山却意外的有一方将近一平方公里平地的地方。村子就集中在这片平地里。由于长期外国人的流连，这里已经染了很多的外国旅游者的痕迹，比如说有酒吧、古董店，铺子饭肆都写着英文，甚至住宿的旅馆的卫生间里都标注着英文和法文。这里的侗族歌舞也完全商业化了，哪里给钱哪里唱，甚至会先收钱后表演。让从小黄和岜沙回来的我们有点意兴阑珊。

在肇兴，最有趣的发现都必须撇开那条商业化很高的大路，在周围的小巷子里穿梭。

肇兴有五个民团组成，分别命名为“仁义礼智信”。各自有各自的风雨桥和鼓楼，规模虽比不上小黄的，但仔细看都不是完全一样。可能是因为有攀比，每个团都有各自的石碑记载自己的一些修桥修楼的事，上面还刻着“子孙万世，永不封碑”的字样。而且每个鼓楼的楼楣上都挂着“X团在XX年取得XX第X名”的奖状，这种在之前完全没有体会过的善意竞争的传统让我们觉得非常有趣。

肇兴里蜿蜒着一些小河。小河每隔几十米就被用石头垒出的浅坝阻上一阻，在从石坝上漫过去，所以水流是缓慢的，一级一级慢慢地流淌下去的。不知这样的设计是不是为了在枯水期可以蓄水。这些石头坝也是村民过桥的通道。经常看见侗民们象下跳棋一样在石头坝上穿梭。走在河边，踏着他们的卵石小路，听着轻微的水声，时间在这里已经失去了意义，呼吸的节奏也背这里的节奏带慢了。

肇兴的路很多都是用鹅卵石铺就的，还铺出的图案，走在鹅卵石的路上，看着河两边褐色的小木楼，感觉就像走在历史里。这种感觉在那些只有一人多宽的巷子里穿梭时更明显。两边的木楼都旧得象线装书，石路因为晒不到阳光都是湿湿的，周围堆砌的各种木头、农具、杂物，让光线更暗，有的巷子里还散发着些微的霉味。在这样的巷子里穿梭，我和Phil都找到了一种怀旧的感觉。探长一路忙着拍摄，老是和在巷子里乱穿的我们走散了，不知他在肇兴有什么偶遇。

晚上坐在一间叫“if”的酒吧里，酒保很大声地放着音乐。二楼就是个大阳台，应该是窗的地方全部用长长的粗布织成的纱垂荡着，很有古意。让我想起以前一本小说里一个叫“璇玑”的女孩在一个飘着线雨的黄昏在亭子里抚琴的场景。窗外正是小河的主道，因为上午还下过大雨，水流相对比较急，哗哗的水声在夜里听起来又近又远。浅啜着名字叫“日落”的饮料，放肆地回想着过去的故事和自己的心事——那里的夜真是一个合适怀旧的地方。可惜，后来来了一群台湾人，呱啦啦地破坏了整个气氛，于是回到我们木质小楼里，一夜无梦，睡得非常香甜。

【探长】肇兴的标语挺有意思，最重要的是两种：计划生育和义务教育，其中义务教育比计划生育还要多，呵呵，让我很振奋啊。途中我们蹩进一所小学，爬杆打球玩了一会，我也逮住一个小学生拍了几张，事后我很亲切地对那个小女孩说：小朋友你叫什么名字啊？能不能把地址告诉我啊？我给你寄相片过来。小女孩盯着我一字一字地说：老师告诉我们不能把地址告诉陌生人！让我巨没面子，回来很久还被他二人耻笑。

【龙脊篇】

到龙脊大寨的时候已经是下午四五点钟，于是爬山，直奔在山上最高的“全景楼”。很诧异地，这里的瑶民远不向我们在之前几个地方的人那样淳朴而与人无争。一下车，我们就被不同的瑶民围绕了，“要不要导游”、“要不要纪念品”、“要不要住宿”、“要不要吃饭”把你烦死。最可气的是当我们告诉他们不请导游之后，居然没有人给我们指路，多问几句，居然每个人给你的路线都是不一样的，折磨地我们一头雾水，索性自己看景区的指示牌，三缄其口地赶路。上山的一路还是有人不停地缠问，极力拉你去自己亲戚的饭店。到最后有个瑶民刚问我们“去哪”，三个人居然不约而同地同时开口，我说的是“谢谢，再见！”Phil说的是“我们不请导游！”探长说的是“我们订好住得地方啦！”然后三个人笑成一团，倒把那个瑶民给愣在了一边。

全景楼是山上最高的地方，英文名字就叫“Panorama”，取可以鸟瞰整个景点，尽览无余之意。半夜十一二点站在全景楼前的平台往下望，黑白的世界也异常丰满而有层次感，迷朦中看不真切，万物在静谧中显得神秘而不可捉摸。当晚是有月全食的，所以月光异常的清亮。乘着满月下到梯田里，梯田里的水映着月光，听着田边涓涓的水流声，好像月光以变成一层云衣，托在四周，脚步显得非常轻快。在水田里，看见一群鸭子在睡觉，肥嘟嘟的，像是田里多了一团一团的黑影。我们的说话声吵醒了它们，它们不满意地嘟了两声，蹒跚地向前摆了几步，在田的另一头又卧低了，睡了。不知鸭子会不会打呼做梦，在龙脊，它们也是让人羡慕的大自然的精灵。

第二天起早，在清晨的阳光下，梯田显得格外柔美。水田就像镜子一样，折射着柠檬黄的阳光，田埂是镜的架，一层一层地赋予整个风景一种震撼地层次感，弯弯曲曲铺叠到山脚。如果说水田是柔的，那田埂就是刚毅的，是田的骨，田的魂。山谷里的水气在温弱的阳光照射下蒸了上来，眼看着它一点一点升高，然后散开在半空，变成朝雾——“山上朝来云出岫，随风一去未曾回。”说得原来就是这样的景色。梯田的美景，就留给探长用照片细细诉说吧。

之后在梯田里穿梭，饱览山间的晨色，最后索性放弃石板路，走起梯田里的田埂，摸索着前进。造成的阳光是温柔而柠黄的，映得矮树和草也是一片嫩绿色，生机得想让人触摸。小小的打碗花和其他不知名的小野花是不是点缀在田间，自由地如同清晨的雾气。呼吸间感受到的全是大自然的清新。

急急下山，乏善可陈。路经另一个景点，虽也是梯田，但没有水。一层一层全是褐土的线条压在初长成的绿野里，别是另一番滋味。阳光的角度正好，让远处的山坡泛起一阵柔光，好像是一层丝绸铺在山坡上，又恰如一汪碧水泻在那里——隐约感觉到的微鳞，看上去象绸的皱和水的波的，是长满了碧草的田埂。站在山边，有一种想飞的冲动，张开双手深呼吸，肘腋间也感到了山风的推动——只恨自己不是一只鸟。

出大寨，赶去了龙脊壮寨梯田。唉，这里的商业气就更浓。景区外的小铺子挂满了在任何一个旅游景点都可以看到的所谓纪念品，上山的路上所有的本地人都在试图拉你去吃饭。 ——于是我们选择了山边一个破旧的农户家里吃饭——不仅因为这间屋子外没有人拉客，只有一张红纸写着一些最简单的文字告诉你可以吃饭，其中还不少错别字；而且因为他们在屋外的阳台上特意摆了几张小凳子，让路人随意休憩。这家农户果然如屋外小凳子所表现般善意而体贴。女主人为我们就餐，特地穿上了件白色的外套，为我们淘米煮饭。男主人进出厨房，都会很善意的带上房门，深怕厨房里的烟火气熏到我们。一会儿，男主人出来，用生疏的普通话带着满脸的笑容问我，“在竹筒饭里放点白胡椒可好，你们爬山，腿累，白胡椒，腿好。”一会儿，主人家的长子回来了，自己从厨房里捧了一碗白饭，倒了杯米酒，放在离我们稍远的一张桌子，先歉意地对我们笑笑，说了句“不好意思，我先吃了”，才独自就餐。在这家农户里，我们体会到了壮族老百姓的本色，好在他们家还没有被其他人所污染了，幸甚！

【Phil】住在山顶的感觉很爽，尤其是晚上一边喝着桂林三花酒一边欣赏月色的时候，真的好羡慕那些一住就是好几个星期的摄驴们。清晨日出后梯田的美景自是美不胜收，可以拍到一些很好的相片。

【探长】梯田确实漂亮，尤其在放了水之后。不过想一想历史上这些少数民族是怎么被赶到这种穷乡僻壤来，就会有另一番感觉了。
