Overview of Xiaohuang Dong Village

Xiaohuang Dong Village has long been world-famous as the "Hometown of Dong Songs" and "Music Paradise". Traveling there is really interesting. The residents of Xiaohuang Village are all Dong people. In the past, we often used "the hometown of poetry, the ocean of songs" to describe the situation of singing in minority areas. However, this description may only be used in Xiaohuang Dong Township to make people feel that it is worthy of the name. Because not only everyone in Xiaohuang Village can sing and loves to sing, but there are more than 20 official singing groups in the village with more than 1,000 members. Such a situation is obviously rare elsewhere.

Xiaohuang includes three villages, Xiaohuang, Gaohuang and Xinqian, with more than 600 households and more than 3,000 people. Xiao Huang's Dong songs are very famous in Dong villages, and the Dong language calls them "Ga Xiao Huang", which means "Xiao Huang's songs".

No matter how beautiful these names are, "Hometown of Dong Song", "Hometown of Chinese Folk Art", "Shining Spring", they are not as sweet as Xiao Huang's singing voice. Xiaohuang, deep in the mountains, has very limited communication with the outside world. The entire village has maintained a relatively primitive style, and many ancient customs have also been preserved intact. Singing big songs is one of them.

Xiao Huang’s Dong girl is not only good at singing, but also very enthusiastic. For guests from far away who want to listen to music, their answer is to let you sit on their knees and listen to their singing. This simple custom often makes tourists feel at a loss. In fact, it is better to follow the local customs. In Xiaohuang, returning to nature is the best choice.
