Ancient villages with mysterious legends in China.

1, the last tribe in China.

According to the research of National Tourism Administration, Miao Village in Zhongdong, Ziyun County, Guizhou Province is the "last cave tribe" in China and even in Asia, and now 2 1 families live in caves.

Talking about the history of living in caves, the old people in the village said that the "tribe" was a family that escaped from bandits in the early days of liberation. Then it was peaceful. The local government advised the residents in the cave to move out, but they still felt that the cave was good, warm in winter and cool in summer.

2.Fossil Village

Fossil Village is a shanzhai Lao Xu store, located 48 kilometers south of Shiping County, Honghe Prefecture, southern Yunnan. Because experts came to investigate two years ago and said that the stones used by villagers were fossils, now everyone is used to calling it Fossil Village. Only the locals call it Laoxu Store.

This kind of leaves and stones have been used to build houses in the village for generations, and such stones seem to be inexhaustible here.

3. The village on the cliff

Hongde Village, Yingpan Township, Shuicheng County, Guizhou Province, the most convenient place here is by train. The nearest railway station to Hongde Village is Maocaoping Station, and the distance between the two places is less than 2 kilometers. But between the two places is a canyon called "Wumeng Rift Valley", which is also called "Broken Road" by villagers. "Because the village road here is broken and you can't walk, it's called a broken road." 200 1, Hongde Village erected the first iron cable. After that, when the villagers passed this "broken road", they took the zip line directly. In addition to taking the zip line, the villagers have another choice, that is, a bamboo bridge at the bottom of the crack. Villagers often descend from the edge of the village to the bottom of the valley, cross the bamboo bridge and climb to the other side. Because both sides are steep slopes of about 90 degrees, it takes villagers at least 2 hours to get up and down.

4. Strange villages on boulders

In Shishou Town, Baoshan, Yunnan, 100 many Naxi people live on an independent mushroom-like rock, which is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, making it difficult for apes to climb up. There is only one natural stone gate in the south of the whole stone city, and closing the gate becomes a foolproof safety island.

5. Roman Village, Gansu Province

In Zhelaizhai Village, Yongchang County, Gansu Province, there are a group of people who look different from nearby residents: blue eyes, deep eyes, high nose, and even blond hair and red skin. Their ancestors were the legendary "Roman Legion" who disappeared mysteriously. Zhelaizhai is a little-known village, but in recent years it has attracted the keen attention of domestic and foreign media. David Harris, an Australian scholar, suggested that Zhelaizhai was the site of the ancient Li Gancheng, which was the city where Roman prisoners of war were placed in the Western Han Dynasty.

A stone stirs up a thousand waves. After studying historical records, domestic scholars have published articles one after another, inferring that the First Legion of Ancient Rome, which mysteriously disappeared in Carlisle War in 53 BC, was taken in by Xiongnu in the process of moving eastward, captured by Han army in the war of supporting the city by Han and Hungary, and finally settled in Zhelai Village by the Western Han government.

6. the village on the fishing raft

In Sandu 'ao, Ningde, Fujian, there is a village floating on the vast sea, just like a city floating on the sea.

More than 8,000 people from all corners of the country dropped 654.38+million cages here to build wooden houses, forming the largest Pseudosciaena crocea breeding base in China. The fishermen joined together and stretched for dozens of kilometers. Sandu 'ao is also called "Venice of the East".

7. The roundest village

In Wuyuan County, Jiangxi Province, there is a typical Huizhou architectural village. The village named Ju Jing is very unique and attracts thousands of photographers to visit. Standing on the hillside next to the road opposite the village overlooking the whole village is a * * "circle" shape. Moreover, the more you go up, the more you can feel the magic and uniqueness of the round village ―― the rugged roads surround the river, the stone roads in the village surround the river, and the stone roads in the village surround the village, which is called "the most round village in China".

8. Leigong Village

In the hinterland of the beautiful Meiling mountain area, there is a remote mountain village-Leigongtan Natural Village, which used to be talked about by local people.

From the 1980s to the beginning of this century, dozens of people in this village were injured by lightning, leaving only eight villagers, and their houses were repeatedly damaged. Everyone is talking about the discoloration of "thunder", and the villagers have moved out to avoid thunder.

9. undersea villages

Located at the bottom of the bay from Dongzhaigang, Meilan District, Haikou City to Puqian Town, Wenchang City, 72 villages fell vertically into the sea for about 3 to 4 meters due to a major earthquake during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1605).

The site of "Underwater Village" has become a peculiar underwater landscape. Nowadays, at low tide, you can still see the criss-crossing flat ancient cultivated land in the shallow sea area with east-west length 10km and width 1km.

10, "The First Village of Family Planning"

Lizhan Village in Guizhou can't be found on the ordinary map of China, because it is too small and remote, with an area of less than 16 square kilometers. This tiny place is famous overseas because of an amazing "zero record": the natural population growth rate is always close to zero. According to statistics, the population of this village was 720 in 1950 and 72 1 person in 1998, only increasing by 1 person.

This phenomenon is a great miracle in the age when the population has generally increased by a large margin, so Lizhan Village is known as "the first village with population and culture in China". Li Zhanren attributed the gender balance in the stockade to a herb called "changing flowers for grass". Taking this medicine can change the sex of the fetus, which is a secret handed down from generation to generation. The only one who holds the secret is the only "female pharmacist" in the village.
