I want to know as much as possible about the lovely grass pond.

It's been some time since I left Caotang, but my heart still lingers in that poetic and dreamlike world, which I can't forget for a long time.

Since the Maguan town government set foot on the Yunnan-Guizhou Post Road with a history of more than 500 years, it took 40 minutes to walk west, then left the Post Road, climbed the mountain pass with ginkgo trees in the south for 2,000 years, and entered a paradise with yellow hair and happiness.

Caotang, a Buyi village with only 20 or 30 families named Luo, is tightly held in the arms by the mountains covered with forests on the east, south and west. The farmhouse surrounded by stones is very quiet and ancient, looming in the shade, a kind of quiet and refreshing feeling, and the natural green momentum makes you wonder whether you have entered an ancient Buyi village or a mysterious virgin forest.

The day I went to the thatched cottage coincided with rainy weather and misty clouds. At the gate of the first stockade left half a mile away from the village, I heard the long-lost cock crow and dog bark. The voice is clear and kind, which makes people feel like they have returned to their childhood. Nearby, several cows and horses were lazily standing under the forest, eating grass, a group of chickens and ducks were leisurely foraging around, and several children were happily playing on the seesaw on a piece of wood, completely ignoring the arrival of our uninvited guests.

There are forests and valleys in You Mei, where ancient trees hang down, vines hang down, moss is mottled, orchids are fragrant, green grass is lush, and mountains are washed away by spring rain, fresh and beautiful. Except for the blue sky and white fog, the rest are intoxicating green. That kind of green is not deliberately rendered, but natural, ubiquitous, majestic and blurred. Of course, in this evergreen bush, there will be flowers and fruits dotted in it, and some of them are even colorful. In addition, there are birds singing, cicadas singing, Lin Tao, sea of clouds and villages, which make the grass pond greener, more secluded, more beautiful and more beautiful.

Maguan is Puding's veritable hometown of wealth, but the simplicity of Caotang is obvious. She wakes up from the depths of the clouds every day, and all the materials are still riding on her shoulders. The only way to contact with the outside world is the ancient post road that has been stepped on for hundreds of years. However, in the war-torn years of 1930, the simple thatched cottage people collectively made a shocking move: anyone who reported the deforestation of thatched cottage would be rewarded with 10 yuan after investigation. You know, at that time, all the belongings of most people in their family were worth about $20. It is because of their stubbornness and persistence that the emerald endowed by nature can be perfectly preserved and this paradise has been achieved.

There is a tree in front of the village, with a DBH of more than one foot.
