Food guide: It is recommended to have a meal at the farmhouse in Cuandi, sit around the table in the neat courtyard, and wait for the villagers to come from their own kitchen. They serve home-cooked dishes and wild vegetables. The farm food tastes good and the price is not expensive. Lessons from the past: The last time I went to Xia Xian was after SARS last year. I stayed in the mountain village for three days. I spent the whole day wandering leisurely under the shadow of the sun. The peace and relief were indescribable. I strongly recommend staying in Xiandixia Village for two more days to taste everything there. The food, especially the black bean rice, is exactly the same as what I remember eating at my grandma’s house more than ten years ago. Xianxia’s little knowledge: Siheyuan can be divided into large, medium and small, and most of them are small. The layout is simple. There is only one courtyard, usually three rooms in the north (main room), and two or three rooms in the east and west wings. The street door is mostly a Taoist bamboo hat. In front of the street door is the south wall of the east room of the courtyard, with paintings on the wall. With a screen wall. Follow the path to the left and you will find the middle of the yard. The yard has a long brick walkway that leads to the house on all sides. Cuan culture is the history and culture of China during the more than 400 years from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 317) through the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the seventh year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (AD 749) when the Cuan family ruled Yunnan (including some counties and cities in present-day Guizhou and Sichuan). During the more than 400 years of the Cuan family's rule, as the Central Plains dynasty was in the feudal separatist war for a long time and basically lost control of Yunnan, the Cuan family took advantage of the opportunity and "took the Central Plains dynasty as the official crescent moon", which actually formed the "Xiangxiang Dynasty". The feudal lords open their doors and close their doors to the emperor."

Therefore, Yunnan's society is relatively stable and its economy is relatively developed. Han Chinese from mainland China kept coming to Yunnan to escape the war, and Cuan culture was influenced and integrated with the culture of the Central Plains. Cuan culture is mainly expressed through the food culture, clothing culture, customs, rituals, medicine, architecture, poetry and folk music scattered in the fragments.
