The charm of folk photography

This winter, my good brother Xu Bin took me to his hometown Fusong County, Baishan City, Jilin Province.

The next morning after the snow, our group set out from Changbai County on the Yalu River and went to Fusong. When I left Changbai County, I raised a drone. What I see is the beautiful Changbai Mountain River in the vast snowfield. The Yalu River is dotted with white snow and runs along the river to the distance. Linjiang City, where the Yalu River flows, and Changbai County are both under the jurisdiction of baishan city, which was one of the places where volunteer troops crossed the Yalu River.

According to reports, in that year, 350,000 volunteers crossed the Yalu River from Linjiang Yalu River Bridge. ...

In order to reach Fusong at noon, we took a bus through the snow-covered forest. Outside the window, all kinds of scenery came to us together, which made people dazzled and felt the attraction and affinity of Changbai's beautiful winter scenery.

Yes, the beauty of long white in winter is a rough beauty; Is a kind of unrestrained beauty; This is a kind of beauty that takes away people's souls. This is a kind of beauty that can't be described in precise words ... It was not until a group of pheasants took off in the snow that I was surprised to withdraw my wild horse-like idea.

Or through the window, a long white winter scenery came into my eyes alternately, igniting my creative thoughts, so through the window, I took out my camera and pressed the shutter.

"If such a wonderful scenery is not photographed, it is simply a kind of pain and torture for a photographer!" When shooting, I thought to myself.

The destination of our trip is Jinjiang Muwu Village in Fusong.

Brother Yongqing, a colleague, said to me, "Brother Han, the wooden house village in Jinjiang is very beautiful, and the wooden houses and residential buildings are very beautiful. It's a picture of white customs in the middle of winter, so be sure to set aside a cf card to shoot! "

Just as I promised, Jinjiang Muwu Village appeared and was fixed in the window frame of the car window. A picture of a completely uncut white dress package instantly stunned my eyes!

Jinjiang Muwu Village is famous far and near, full of original ecological dreams and beautiful scenery all year round, and it is a place that tourists yearn for.

The picturesque wooden house village is located in the southeast of Changbai Mountain and in the north of Manjiang Town, Fusong County, Baishan City, Jilin Province. Formerly known as "Gudingzi", it was named after an isolated and prominent mountain near the village. The village is adjacent to Jinjiang, which originated in Changbai Mountain. It was renamed Jinjiang Village during the Cultural Revolution.

Jumping out of the car, I saw a tourist girl holding the white winter snow in the wooden house village in the snow, which attracted the laughter of other tourists.

It turns out that the tourists in Jinjiang Muwu Village are basically the characteristic industrial towns of Changbai Mountain Luneng Resort, which is less than two kilometers away from the village. Tourists experienced the fun of ice and snow there, and then came to Muwu Village to feel the charm of northeast folk customs. The annual tourist volume of Luneng Resort is the guarantee and supplement for tourists in Muwu Village.

The wooden house village in Jinjiang that I am facing is as beautiful as jade in the snow. If there is harmony between heaven and earth, that place should be Jinjiang Muwu Village! Walking in the wooden house village in Jinjiang, I seem to have returned to the starting point of the mountain village history through time and space.

According to Xu Bin and Yongqing, the former Muwu Village in Jinjiang was called Gudingzi Village, which was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1677) and has a history of more than 300 years. Hidden in the deep mountains, this village was founded by the flag bearer left by the ancestor worship trip led by Wu Mona, an imperial envoy in Kangxi period, together with the aborigines.

When I was filming the wooden house village, I met a painter sketching in the snow. Go up and chat, and we will have a common language soon. It turns out that this painter is from Changchun. He is not only a famous painter, but also an expert in folklore, who has in-depth research and understanding of local culture.

The painter's friend speaks quickly. He said that Jinjiang Village is the remains of Manchu wood culture in Changbai Mountain and the birthplace of Manchu. Shang and Zhou Dynasties belonged to the cautious land of Manchu ancestors. It is widely circulated among the people that in the early years of the Republic of China, vagrants from Phoenix, Liaoning Province entered the forbidden area of Changbai Mountain one after another to hunt for a living, and a small number of them entered the virgin forest near Manjiang River, which is now Jinjiang Village. They built a house out of wood and started a life of "beating roe deer bowls and scooping fish, pheasants flying into electric cookers, black bears and wild boars entering the garden, and people and snakes sleeping under the covers". The seeds of civilization germinate in people's casual life.

Isn't this the Garden of Eden? Today, we yearn for poetry and distance. In fact, in our bones, we are still full of nostalgia and dreams for all ancient, simple and primitive things ... I stood in the snow and thought.

The painter's introduction boosted my spirit in the dead of winter, so my thoughts began to fly again. I thought of Baishan Blackwater, Manchu, Hetuala and Xanadu.

Jinjiang Muwu Village, known as the "last Muwu Village" in China under Changbai Mountain, is the best protected Muwu community discovered so far. In 2006, Jinjiang Muwu Village was listed as a county-level traditional residential cultural heritage protection unit by Fusong County, and was listed as the first intangible cultural heritage by Baishan Municipal People's Government in 2008. It has also been listed in the list of traditional Chinese villages by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the architectural skills of Manchu wooden houses in this village have been listed as provincial intangible cultural heritage in Jilin Province.

Surprisingly, in Jinjiang Muwu Village, almost everything is made of wood.

The houses in Muwu Village are not only made of logs, but also the tiles on the roof are made of sawdust, and even the chimney is made of a whole hollow trunk. There are wooden fences in front of and behind each house, which is full of original ecology.

In recent years, Fusong county regards this place as an important fulcrum of rural revitalization, vigorously develops the tourism economy and develops Jinjiang wooden houses on the basis of protection. More tourists come here to see the folk culture village at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

This is the scenery that makes me cry!

I was born at the black water in the northeast. When I was a child, I was fascinated by Baishan Yongtian, because it was Baishan Blackwater. I spent my childhood and adolescence in rooms called "woodcut houses", which are very similar to the wooden houses in front of me now. In the northeast, Manchu culture has been carved into the deep layer of black soil, which needs us to solve layer by layer.

You see, this well is similar to the one in front of my house; And the golden corn hanging in front of the villagers seems to have my sweat on it ... a very kind picture reminds me of the song "Come to that distant mountain village".

Now, I followed Xu Bin to the wooden house village in Jinjiang, which satisfied all the good memories of my childhood and adolescence.

Here, the beauty of nature, humanity and harmony are everywhere, and it is a place where "everything is answered with beauty".

Just as I was filming heartily, Xu Bin's cry came: "Brother Han, it's time to go home for dinner. Pork stewed with vermicelli, sauerkraut and blood sausage are all on the table ... "
