Where is the last primitive tribe in China? How do local people live?

There is a primitive tribe in our country, which means a foggy place and still retains its primitive living habits.

Every time I talk about primitive tribes, I believe that for many friends, it is a strange and very distant place. This primitive tribe usually exists in backward areas of South America, Indonesia and Africa. However, you may find it incredible that there are primitive tribes in Lincang, Yunnan. It is the last primitive tribe in China, and the villagers still retain the most primitive way of life. If you are interested, you may wish to have a look.

Cangyuan Wa Autonomous County is located in the west of Lincang, Yunnan, about 200 kilometers away from Lincang, and borders Myanmar. The county has a population of about 200,000 people, most of whom are Wa people. It is one of the only two Wa autonomous counties in China. Today we are going to introduce Wengding Village and Wengding Tower in Cangyuan County.

Weng Ding Cun is located in the hinterland of forests and mountains. Its stockade looks like a chair, surrounded by endless mountains. This stockade has a history of nearly 400 years. At present, there are more than 65,438+000 households with about 526 people in * * *, all of which belong to the Wa nationality. There are still many traditional customs in the village, also called primitive tribes, which have been selected as intangible cultural protection units in Yunnan and are now developed into scenic spots.

When I entered the stockade, all I saw were thatched houses with wooden structures, all of which were dense. There are two specifications and models, 1 kind is very short. Most of them are lonely old people or single people. If you see two floors, it's usually a family. People live above and feed poultry below, and a room will be built to store food or groceries. Locals leave their doors unlocked when they go out.

The house door here looks a bit strange, because there are bull heads hanging inside and outside the house. Bian Xiao thinks this may be their tradition. There is also a local custom that every time a new room is built to make a fire, the fire must be kept and not allowed to go out. Surprisingly, the unique cultures of many primitive tribes can still be seen here and have been well preserved.

Local people's skin looks darker, even children are no exception. Their national costumes have the characteristics of Wa nationality. Many men and women like smoking pipes. Most of them are old people now, and most of the young people have gone out to work. Life here has always maintained a primitive tradition. The local people's life is mainly slow, and everyone's face is filled with a happy smile. What do you think of such a primitive tribe? Address: Meng Jiao Township, Cangyuan County, lincang, Yunnan.
