Where is Bazaar? Bazaar itinerary

Basha is a Miao village near Congjiang, which is only 15 minutes' drive from Congjiang County. The traffic is very convenient. We also got up early, because we are going to Xiao Huang in the afternoon. The car gradually climbed the Panshan Highway, and the vegetation on both sides gradually flourished, emitting a quiet atmosphere, which was quite different from the noise of Congjiang County, which was separated by a few arrows. Maybe it's too early. The whole stockade seems to be alive when it wakes up, and no one can be seen. Only a slightly dazed old man stood by the small shop at the entrance of the village, seemingly surprised by the hospitality of tourists.

There is a clearing opposite the shop because there is a totem pole made of trees in the middle. I think it should be a place of worship in the village. Walking to the open space for offering sacrifices and looking into the village, I saw wooden poles and stilts erected on the hillside. Seen from a height, the moss-covered green-black roofs are lined with rows, which are roughly the same as the Xijiang River, but the green meaning conveyed by the dense branches and leaves in the background is much stronger, and there are mountains everywhere, and the green is dripping. After reading the previous information, I know that Basha means a place with a lot of vegetation in Miao language. People here worship trees and forests.

It is said that every new entrance in the stockade will plant a small tree to accompany the children's growth; Once this man dies, cut down the tree and put another tree on his grave, so that life can continue in another way. Basha people will never allow arbitrary felling of trees, thinking that this will increase the destruction of forests, and in the long run, the ecology will lose balance; Once the ecology is out of balance, the land on which they live will be lost. Once this happens, survival will really become the biggest threat to Bazaar, not to mention the happiness of future generations! This is the most primitive ecological concept of Basha people. Think carefully, is this idea primitive or advanced? Wandering around the village, you can see tall grain drying racks everywhere: two logs with thick bowls support the roof about five or six meters high, and every half meter or so, there is a drying pole across the column from bottom to top. Naturally, it is made of logs, but it is slightly thinner.

Now is not the harvest season, there is no one on the shelf, only the dark brown wooden shelf stands quietly, and the Buddha has long been used to the changes in the sea and mulberry fields. The villagers gradually increased, carrying water, carrying soil and weaving. The hard work of the day is about to begin again. The most talked about by the outside world is the bun and costume of young and middle-aged men here. Although I have known each other for a long time, I still feel novel when I really meet him: there is only a stick-shaped bun in the middle of the bald head, indigenous blue cloth, wide and straight blue cloth pants, a machete and a horn powder cartridge tied to his waist, and a musket on his shoulder. This is not a character in a costume movie, but a Bazaar man in real life! Looking at the seemingly vicissitudes of wood grain, looking at the villagers with strange pictures, in an instant, with the help of stagnant thoughts, there is an illusion of separation of time and space, as if being in Wu Lingren in that year, no matter Wei and Jin Dynasties. According to legend, Basha people are descendants of Chiyou. Chiyou was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, and their family had a hard time moving here.

In order to protect themselves, they formed a martial arts tradition of carrying guns with them, which has continued to this day. After careful observation, I found that the costumes of people here are very different from the Miao people I saw in Fenghuang and Xijiang. They are simple, with neither luxurious decorations nor gorgeous colors. It seems that their aesthetic tastes are quite different. This difference may be caused by the introversion of ancestors' experience, or the weakness of aesthetic pursuit formed by awe of nature. I can only guess why I came, but I appreciate the simplicity of Basha people more. Finally, I saw the only complete performance of this trip to Southeast Guizhou. You may not be able to imagine such a scene: in a Lusheng field with no living facilities around it, all the senses touch the embrace of towering old trees, the gurgling of running water, the occasional birdsong and the fragrance of vegetation; We sat on wooden benches on the sidelines, quietly waiting for the arrival of the cast members. Before the performance, I was deeply impressed by the worship ceremony of Basha people to the tree god. B

The performances are rich in content: Lusheng dance, wedding display, wooden bullfighting, distribution of glutinous rice cakes to the audience, and of course, some performances such as shooting guns and shaving heads with sickles in basat, which are plain but wonderful! In my opinion, in such a natural place, watching a nation respect nature very much and showing us their traditions is the best interpretation of harmony. Of course, this is art, and it is the crystallization of thousands of years' hard inheritance of Basha people. If you think it's shoddy and dismissive (such as someone in the seat at that time), then I can only laugh at you for burning the piano and cooking the crane, and you don't appreciate it. After watching the performance, I can better understand the weight of the word tradition to Basha people.

In this village where traffic is not blocked, people stick to the tradition of life for thousands of years and are not disturbed by the sound of external horns. They are content with rural life, simple material life and understanding of nature. Among them, true harmony is mutual understanding and care. They are poor and peaceful. Courtesy seems to be an extension of Fan Zhongyan's unhappiness and self-pity. I want to know whether this insistence on the original ecology and calm and peaceful mentality stems from the innate fortitude and tenacity of Basha people and the wisdom inspired by the great frustration of being forced to move to a barren land.

And how precious they are to the modern society where reinforced concrete is everywhere! Congjiang added: 1. The shuttle bus time from Sandu to Rongjiang is 6: 20, 7: 40, 8: 20, 10: 20, 12: 40, 13: 20, 14: 20, and it takes three hours to get to Rongjiang. Ticket price, 35 yuan. Sandu County Bus Station Tel: 0854-392 1 184. 2. The Sanbao Dong Village in Rongjiang has no features except the Drum Tower. It is suggested that you can skip if the time is tight. 3. Rongjiang Bus Station Tel: 0855-6655842. There are two kinds of buses from Rongjiang to Congjiang, 16 yuan (shuttle bus) to 25 yuan (CMB), which runs every 40 minutes from 6: 40 am to 7: 20 pm 17:20, lasting 2 to 3 hours. 4. Because it takes about 20 yuan to take a taxi from Jiangxian County to Basha Miao Village, the return trip is not as crowded as some raiders wrote.

We got off two motorcycles, and there was no car. Fortunately, Deputy Director Li of Congjiang Forestry Bureau gave me the car. He gave me a lift when he came to visit the forest. Accommodation in Congjiang is generally poor, and we are not satisfied with several hotels. Finally, we stayed at the Moon Mountain Hotel, which is said to be the best.
