The neglected paradise, postal area, should have been praised long ago.

I don't know how many people, like me, usually jump out of the southwest and northwest when they talk about ethnic minorities, and always feel quite far away from themselves. But in fact, there are only She Autonomous County in China and Jingning Autonomous County in East China in Lishui, Zhejiang.

@ Blue Walker

Knowing the She nationality is a key to Jingning. The original meaning of the word "she" is slash and burn. Most of the She people live in seclusion in the mountains, farming wherever they go, and farming where there is no one in the mountains. Because of their frequent migration, they are also called "nomads in southern China". No wonder she people call themselves "shanha", and "shanha" here means "guests living in the mountains"

As early as the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the She nationality appeared in the history books. For more than a thousand years, they migrated from their original place of residence-Fenghuang Mountain in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. More than 90% of them lived in mountainous areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the rest were scattered in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Anhui and other provinces. Qimushan, located in the middle of Jingning, with an altitude of 15 19 meters, is the earliest resting place of the She nationality in Jingning.

@ Eleven Yaoyao

In addition to the buff blessing of the She nationality, the scenery of Jingning is also commendable. The forest coverage rate here is as high as 8 1. 1%. You know, even Enshi, known as "Xianju", has a forest coverage rate of only nearly 70%.

There are 779 peaks above 1000 meters in Jingning alone, accounting for nearly a quarter of Zhejiang Province. Jingning, which is surrounded by mountains on all sides, brings together good mountains and waters. full of green can be said to be a large natural oxygen bar. Not to mention the old village bridge in the mountains and the rocky stream in the canyon, every place is worth stopping.

Therefore, whether you are for the humanities or natural scenery of the She nationality, Jingning is worth a visit. Not much to say, come with me into the "Shangri-La" in this package area!

In Jingning, if you want to get to know the She nationality as quickly as possible, I think you can go directly to the She Museum. She Museum has 1800 pieces.

The exhibition inside is based on the development history of the She nationality, including traditional costumes, ribbons, production tools, silverware and other historical relics handed down from various times of the She nationality. By visiting the whole museum, you can learn more about the cultural characteristics, historical environment, food, clothing, housing and transportation of the She nationality.

In the exhibition hall, an old woman usually shows the embroidery of the She nationality, which is a traditional handicraft of the She nationality and also known as a "living" cultural relic. It is said that she girls have been learning to weave ribbons with their mothers since they were five or six years old. The fineness of ribbon is an important criterion to measure the ingenuity of girls. Looking at the production process of these complex patterns, it is inexplicably healing.

If you want to personally participate in the experience of the wedding customs of the She nationality, you might as well go to Dajun Village, the "window of the She nationality in China". Walking into Dajun Village, you are greeted by rows of antique buildings, full of relaxation and leisure.

@ Blue Walker

There will be a She wedding performance here. Of course, if you want to be more immersive, you can also participate in it and experience the links of blocking roads, drinking pagoda tea, taking off sandals, singing, getting married and worshiping the church.

@ Blue Walker

The experience of the She nationality at another stop, I think, can be left to Chimu Mountain, which is regarded as a sacred mountain by local people. There is a Chimushan village in Chimushan, a village of She nationality, where a group of She nationality people named Lan and Lei live.

Like other high mountain villages, the traffic in Qimu Mountain Village is relatively inconvenient, which is why the She folk customs here can be completely preserved. After going in, you will find that all the contents of the papers you studied in the social museum are vividly presented to your eyes.

The whole village of Qimu Mountain Village is built on the mountain, and the simple and simple old houses are arranged in steps. The houses here are different from ordinary Han villages. She people call the mud tile house with wooden structure "Liao", which is a traditional architectural form of She people.

1929, German scholar Hastubo and his overseas student Li Huamin from China also went deep into the village on foot, conducted a seven-day investigation of the She nationality, and wrote the book Investigation of the She Nationality in Jingning, Zhejiang. The she village yard where he lived has now been renovated into a cultural relics protection unit.

In the exhibition hall, you will see old photos taken by Hasttubb and his students. These photos record the daily life scenes of Ha Stubo when he wrote the manuscript and the unique folk customs of the She nationality village in Huanmushan, which can be regarded as the earliest existing image data of the She nationality.

Besides Chimushan Village, Chimushan itself is also beautiful enough.

In spring, wild cherry blossoms, peach blossoms and apricot blossoms compete for beauty. In winter, rime and heavy snow will turn everything in the mountain into a dream, which can be said to be the most beautiful season in Chimu Mountain. If you are lucky, you can still watch the clouds cover the mountain peaks on the Goddess Hui Ze Road, just watch the sea of clouds empty and let time slip away.

After going through the above places, you should know something about the She nationality. It is better to take a day off and walk in the clouds. Because there is fog in the mountains, the scenery of Gaoya Waterfall is the same as that of falling snow in the clouds, so the most representative scenery inside is the "Snowflake" of 100m Waterfall.

@ World Traveler He Xiaoyu

Besides the "Ten Scenes" represented by "Snowflakes", I think there are three main things to see in the cloud: temples, bridges and trees.

Temple is Shi Si Temple. This temple built in the Northern Song Dynasty is a national key cultural relic. Although Shi Si Temple has been renovated many times in Ming and Qing Dynasties, it still retains a large number of original components in Song and Yuan Dynasties, and it is an ancient architectural complex with the characteristics of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are three historical buildings in the temple, among which the Hall of the Great Hero is the most precious, and it is a genuine Song Dynasty building.

@ jingjing jingjing

This bridge is a covered bridge. Due to the geographical and climatic characteristics of Jingning Mountain and fast-flowing rivers, this area has become a "hotbed" for the birth of covered bridges. There are nearly a hundred Jingning covered bridges recorded in the county annals of the Qing Dynasty, and dozens of them are still well preserved. There are ancient covered bridges in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, such as Huguan Bridge and Qiao Hu, among which Huguan Bridge with a length of 100 meters is the only three-story covered bridge in Zhejiang.

The word on the tree refers to "Liu Shan Wang" in front of Shi Si Temple. 1500-year-old "Liu Shanwang" was hollowed out by lightning, which can accommodate more than 20 people, the highest in the country.

Tofu Niang

Tofu Niang, as its name implies, means "mother of tofu", because tofu Niang can be made into tofu if it is filtered and pickled. Tofu Niang's own practice is actually very simple and rude, that is, grinding edamame into paste, cooking it directly with pulp residue and cooking it in a pot.

@ 中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中中𰵍200013

Although the method is simple, the cooking temperature of this bean curd girl can be exquisite. When cooked, the smell of mung beans is gone, and the taste is poor if cooked incompletely. And because tofu Niang is thick, it is easy to paste if the heat is not well controlled.

Grandma's cookbook

Now the improved bean curd can be added with minced meat, dried shrimps, mushrooms, coriander and other ingredients, so that the fragrance of tender beans can spread in the mouth first, and then taste all kinds of umami, and you can eat a big bowl with just one pot of bean curd. Of course, in addition to serving rice, tofu Niang can also serve vermicelli, rice cakes and other staple foods, which is somewhat similar to the thick mung bean paste hot pot. You can also try it.

Never change your mind.

Yingchuan winkle soup

As a frequent visitor to the snack stand in summer, the snail seems to be delicious as long as it is fried in a big fire. The only thing that bothers me is that snail farmers like me often can't eat snail meat and can only eat it with toothpicks. The Yingchuan snail in Jingning perfectly solved this problem, and the She people who lived in the mountains for generations cultivated the thin-shell snail.

Since the name is snail with thin shell, how thin can this shell be? Let's just say that when snails are placed in the sun, their shells can transmit light. The local She people are still very Versailles, saying that they are all thin-shelled snails from snacks. They bite directly with their shells and will be broken with a gentle bite. They think the snails outside are like this.

When this snail is fried with strong seasoning, the soup will enter the snail meat. You can eat delicious snail meat with a gentle bite. Just thinking about it smells good.

Yingchuan rice noodles

The status of Yingchuan vermicelli in the eyes of Jingning people is like a small noodle of Chongqing people and a Regan Noodles of Wuhan people, which is an indispensable delicacy and a complex of Jingning. Walking on the streets of Jingning, there are delicious vermicelli shops everywhere.

@ Jingning Lv Wen

The seemingly simple vermicelli, the production steps are actually very complicated. First of all, rice for fans should be soaked in advance. If you want to keep the original flavor of vermicelli, you need to grind rice by hand and add sweet potato powder to make vermicelli more elastic and chewy.

@ Eliza Zhou

These are just rice paste. The most important thing is to pour the rice paste into the pot and steam it. The steamed rice paste should be clear and bright, not too thick to affect the chewing taste, nor too thin and not elastic enough.

@ Eliza Zhou

There are many ways to eat Yingchuan vermicelli. You can pour different soups on fresh vermicelli according to your own preferences, or you can roll it up and dip it in Chili sauce. Soft glutinous vermicelli is really delicious.

black kerneled rice

For Hangzhou people, black rice should be quite familiar, because old Hangzhou people also eat black rice rice cakes in the long summer, and there is a saying that "long summer black rice cakes are not bitten by mosquitoes." On the other hand, in Jingning She nationality, the third day of the third lunar month is Wu Fan Festival. At this time, she people will go out to collect black barnyard grass leaves and cook black rice to offer sacrifices to their ancestors.

Black rice is made of glutinous rice. After the tender leaves of wild barnyard grass are ground into juice in a stone mortar, they become the natural colorant of glutinous rice. After the glutinous rice is soaked and dyed, it can be eaten as soon as it is steamed in the pot.

The glutinous rice with black barnyard grass juice has a unique flavor, and with the sweetness of glutinous rice itself, the fragrance of pure herbs is more prominent. After a swallow, there will be a sweet aftertaste in your mouth. It tastes especially cool when it's hot.

She zongzi

The Dragon Boat Festival of She nationality is commonly known as "May Festival", and making zongzi is the highlight. The She people's zongzi looks different from the ordinary triangular zongzi.

There are two common types. One is to wrap glutinous rice into four corners or horns with bamboo leaves, and then bundle it into ten strings with Chinese alpine rush. There is also an image called "Jiao". The other is to wrap wooden glutinous rice into a tube with the leaves of the ridge, and then tie it with Chinese alpine rush for five knots.

Besides being special, her zongzi tastes very different. Because glutinous rice is soaked in alkaline water before wrapping zongzi, the zongzi wrapped in alkaline water is golden yellow after steaming and tastes more fragrant, glutinous and soft than ordinary zongzi. With a gentle bite, the sweet glutinous rice is mixed with the fragrance of zongzi leaves, and the faint alkaline taste can keep zongzi from becoming too sweet and greasy.

Huimingcha

After arriving in beginning of spring, the first batch of Huiming tea can be picked in the rain and dew, and every local household will be busy in the tea farm. By then, Jingning will be haunted by the fragrance of tea. Friends who don't usually drink tea may not be familiar with Huimingcha, but its resume is not simple.

Huiming tea was planted in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, Huiming tea became a tribute of the imperial court. In 2005, Huiming Tea was sent to Panama to participate in the World Expo, and won the first-class certificate and gold medal, which is unique among many famous teas in China.

The traditional Huiming tea is curly, which is described in "Famous Tea in China" edited by Zhuang Wan Fang, a famous tea expert: "The tea strips are fat and tight, the color is green, the soup color is clean, the standard guns are ringing one after another, the taste is mellow and refreshing, the flowers and fruits are fragrant, one cup is light, two cups are fresh, three cups are sweet, and four cups and five cups of tea rhyme still exist, which is called the best tea".

Therefore, if you come to Jingning, you must taste a cup of Huiming tea with the aroma of flowers and fruits, which is the taste of Jingning spring.

The warmer the weather, the more I want to go out to play, but this epidemic has trapped people's footsteps. We should try to dig more small towns in the province, so that the probability of everyone going on holiday is still relatively high.
