Huang, the "Spider Man" guarding the hanging coffin, has amazing ability to climb with his bare hands. What is the current situation?

In the southwest of Guizhou Province, in the Getu River Basin of Ziyun County, a group of people faced the wooden coffins of their ancestors and commemorated their ancestors in a unique way of climbing.

More than 2,000 years ago, it was recorded in the Book of Changes that people in China made coffins out of wood, put their lost lives on trees and pinned their eternal life on them. Hundreds of years ago, after the death of Miao ancestors who lived in Getu River, they made coffins out of wood and hung shrubs at the height of cliff holes. Nowadays, Miao people no longer carry out hanging coffin burial, but the skill of climbing and erecting hanging coffins by hand has been handed down in the Getu River.

Huang is 53 years old and lives in Miao Village of Getuhe River. He is a local freehand climber and a representative inheritor of provincial climbing skills. "Spider-Man" is known locally as the Spider-Man that can climb with bare hands. Huang has six brothers and sisters, and he is the eldest. I 12 years old, have been learning rock climbing by hand for 40 years. Huang has been climbing with his other disciples in the swallow cave on the Getu River with his bare hands.

The local karst landform caused uneven edges and corners on the cliff, which provided conditions for Huang to climb with his bare hands. When Huang was five years old, he got polio and his legs shrank. /kloc-when he was 0/2 years old, he followed an old man in the village and learned to climb rock by hand. It is a miracle that Huang, who is physically disabled, learned to climb rock.

As the eldest brother, he is also responsible for the daily rock climbing training of his younger brothers. Due to long-term climbing, Huang and his other disciples' hands have been deformed. My little brother has been training rock climbing for more than a month, and in one day, he will have a formal exam. On the eve of training, Huang will light a fire to roast his hands.

Two younger brothers, Huang Jinlin and Huang, are villagers. They used to climb rocks when they were young, but now they are back from work and hope to join Spider-Man's team. Huang is responsible for the recovery training of his climbing skills. At the end of the training, Huang and his second brother decided to climb the mountain with their younger brother. On the way down the mountain, the second brother was in danger, and the experienced second brother adjusted in time to avoid an accident.

Huang's climbing skills come from the local custom of setting hanging coffins. After the morning training, Huang and his second brother took their younger brother to see the hanging coffin in the afternoon. Ancestors also climbed rocks with their bare hands, pulling boards piece by piece to the edge of the cliff, combining them, and then putting the bodies in.

Huang and his disciples climb rock with their bare hands in Yanzi Cave every day. Whether I can get in depends on whether I can walk up and down the cliff of Yanzidong, which is 108 meters high. Huang didn't trust his brother's safety, so he took him to climb the mountain first. The cliff of Yanzidong goes straight up and down, and the cliff108m is equivalent to 40 stories. Under the cliff is an abyss that can't be seen, and the underground river in the cave growls.

Normally, Huang can go up and down in ten minutes with his bare hands, but in order to assess his younger brother, Huang decided that he was only afraid of a short period, and the rest would be done by his younger brother alone. After explaining the precautions for climbing the kiln, Huang returned to the ground. Fortunately, it only took my brother seven minutes to reach108m safely.

It's easier to go up than down. Whether the younger brother can go down the well safely is a great test. After that, my brother returned to the ground smoothly, and Spider-Man added a new member to the team. The way of hanging coffins for burial has long since disappeared. In Huang's view, every climb of Spider-Man is a tribute to his ancestors.
