Only when you really set foot on this land, maybe you will know what is mysterious, what is primitive and what is simple. In this land, everything in front of us is so natural, so simple and pleasant. The Miao people here have long hair locks, wear dark tsing yi, and live in quaint wooden buildings with hanging feet. Up to now, almost all men over the age of 14 are carrying muskets and waist knives. The gun is divided into long and short, with the long gun on the shoulder and the short gun on the waist. It used to be for self-defense and home defense, but now it has become a habit. The gun can't be removed because it becomes a part of their lives! There is a popular proverb among Miao people in Basha: one dog, one carrying a child, walks towards the mountain.

With the continuous development of the times, more and more people began to walk into this mysterious pure land, and Basha people began to make use of their unique resources to make their lives happier. During the day, there was a lot of excitement here, but Basha people still maintained their own way of life, and at night everything was quiet here, as if no one had ever come in here, and people resumed the life passed down from ancient times.

Basha Village is one of the first priority tourist attractions in Guizhou Province, and its rural tourism development began in 1999. Unique ethnic customs, convenient traffic conditions and beautiful natural environment are the basis and advantages of Basha Miao Village to develop rural tourism. The residential buildings, costumes and headdresses of Basha Miao Village are very different from those of other surrounding villages. Basha people have maintained an ancient way of production and life 2, years ago, and their clothes still maintain a strong original color. Basha man wears a bun and simple clothes sewn by self-woven homespun, which can be called "Qin Dynasty Hairstyle Chinese Fashion". The peculiar and spectacular customs of firing guns, welcoming guests with iron cannons and funeral in Basha Miao Village are also very rare. When I first arrived in Basha, if I saw a wild vine in front of the village, a grass sign was hung on the vine, which indicated that the village door was not open and outsiders were not allowed to enter. On festivals or when guests come, a well-dressed and mighty Basha man plays lusheng and mang tube in front of the village, and a Qisha girl dressed in Miao costumes and silver headdress waits for the guests with horn wine in the village. After a song was played, three iron cannons sounded, a musket sounded to the sky, and the guests filed in and drank some horn wine as a sign of good luck. Then, under the guidance of the girls, Lin Nakakoji took to Lushengtang. Lushengtang is located in the forest southeast of Basha, about 1 square meters of open space. On the way, Basha men and women should face the sun and slowly retreat. According to the old man in Basha, if Basha people want to enter Lusheng Hall, they must first worship the sun facing the east and then perform Miao songs and dances here. Walking in the village of Basha, what you see is the original ecological culture, clothing culture, architectural culture, farming culture, folk culture and hunting culture. These simple and thick Miao cultures are only passed down and circulated in Basha Miao village, and are constantly enriched and enriched, and finally form a self-contained cultural system.

After several years of unremitting efforts, Basha Miao Village has developed into a famous original ecological ethnic cultural tourist attraction in Guizhou Province and even in Southwest China. In 2, the number of tourists in Basha Scenic Area was only .59 million, and the comprehensive tourism income was 217,6 yuan. In 27, the number of tourists in Basha Scenic Area rose to 66,2; The comprehensive tourism income reached 15,828,7 yuan, an increase of 11.22 times and 72.74 times compared with 2, with an average annual increase of 41.25% and 84.49%. It is estimated that the per capita net income will reach 22 yuan in 28.

the development of tourism has broadened the employment channels for local people. At present, there are more than 2 people engaged in tourism-related industries in Basha village, accounting for about 1% of the total population of the village. Among them, Basha Scenic Area has set up two Miao folk customs performance teams with more than 135 members, all of whom are local villagers. At the same time, the development of tourism has effectively protected the local traditional culture. According to the unified arrangement and deployment of Qiandongnan Prefecture Party Committee and State Government, Congjiang has started the second planning of Basha Scenic Area. According to the plan, the future Basha will form an original ecological ethnic cultural experience area with Basha Miao village as the core, including Basha, Datang, Zhage Miao, Dong and Yao villages. This move will enhance the attraction of Basha scenic spot, enrich the connotation of cultural tourism, and at the same time better inherit and protect the local national culture.

introduction to the scenic spot-the wooden building in the village is quaint and simple, surrounded by dense forests, and the environment is elegant and beautiful. Basha Miao Village is the oldest Miao men's wear in China in China, and it is a Miao man in Basha, Congjiang. His hair was cut off when he was a child. I left my brain hair behind my shoulders, and began to grow it when I was an adult. I gradually tied it on my head and tied a cloth towel on my forehead. This costume has never changed.

Scenery features-Basha is a Miao village where no other ethnic groups live together, and the housing is mainly "diaojiaolou". The lifestyle, costumes and hairstyles of Basha Miao nationality retain the obvious legacy of Qing Dynasty. Their costumes are all self-spun, self-woven and self-dyed. Men have long hair, braided hair, tied at the top, and long sharp knives at their waists. This custom of men's hair storage has been handed down from generation to generation. Basha Miao Village, an ancient hairstyle, has been popular for thousands of years. Boys have to grow their hair like girls since childhood, and they have to comb a cone bun. Only after the adult ceremony is held at the age of 16, can their hair be left or left according to their own wishes. At present, half of the adult men in Basha still keep this old custom. Basha Miao village is an unforgettable stockade in Miao village in southeastern Guizhou. The diaojiao building is built on the mountain and faces each other on several slopes. The diaojiao building is built with wooden pillars, with the lower floor suspended, with the building in front of the floor and the floor behind it supported by wooden pillars. This kind of special dry-fence building has special effects in preventing moisture and temperature and avoiding wild animals.

Funeral custom-The funeral custom of Basha Miao Village is magical, and it also reflects the simple ecological values of the villagers. Here, I can't see the longevity of the old people in the village, and I can't see the graves that I often see in other villages in the hills and Woods around the village. I look around, but I see towering old trees and dense forests. It turns out that since ancient times, Basha people have set out from the actual needs of protecting trees and forests and the ecological concept that people are only a part of nature with the same status as plants, birds and animals. After people are born, they plant a forest at home as their tree of life. When they get married at the age of 18, boys cut part of it to build a diaojiao building to marry, and girls use it as a dowry, which is called "eighteen trees". Everyone, no matter how old they are, no matter how rich or poor they are, will never buy a coffin for life. After the end of the year, dig deep at the side of the tree of life, use the tree of life as a coffin now, bury the body in the ground after burial, and plant new saplings instead of graves. If you die unfortunately or abnormally, you must bury it after cremation, leaving no graves or tombstones, but still plant trees on it. Therefore, Basha people worship their ancestors at home and under the big tree. In case of disasters, they also go to the big tree to pray for ancestors' protection and eliminate disasters and diseases.

customs-on July 21st, the 15th day of the sixth lunar month is the "Eating New Festival" of Basha Miao people in congjiang county, Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. Eating New Festival is an ancient and romantic traditional festival in Basha Miao village, and swinging has always been the main activity of the new festival. In the early morning of the festival, the girls picked the glutinous rice straw and soaked it in the mountain stream for 1-2 hours. After taking it home, the men began to rub the straw rope. At dusk, the men hung the twisted bamboo tube-thick rope on the tree. At this time, the young men and women began to swing or hug each other on the straw rope. This youthful and unrestrained romantic atmosphere filled the festival. At night, the moonlight is scattered all over the mountains, and the swing is still swinging. In the hazy Yin Hui, the people on the swing are even more affectionate, so some of the "Eating New Festival" are also called "Valentine's Day for a Thousand Years". This ancient and traditional way of love has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is still continuing in the mountains, which is memorable. Generally, "Swing Valentine's Day" will last for 5 days.
