Entering the first stop in Guangxi, passing through a place called Fuxi Ancient Village, the road into the village is very narrow, only enough for one car to enter and exit, so it is destined not to be full of people. Several towering trees show that this ancient village of the Seven Dynasties is worthy of its name. A two-person wide stone road in the village is slippery in the rain, and people leave traces of time on it with their footsteps.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a 78-year-old man peeling garlic cloves, wearing a silver bracelet, looking healthy and kind-faced, warmly inviting Johnson into the courtyard to chat, and even took out a box of drinks for everyone to drink, very simple. It is said that there are more than 60 elderly people over the age of 80 in Fuxi Village, and it can be regarded as a village of longevity.

Originally, I was just passing by to rest, but I found that there are many scenic spots in a small village?

Meritorious stones, paper burners, wind and rain bridges, Ma Yin Temple and other building sites, as well as ancient stage, ancient book hall, bluestone street, ancient inscriptions and other ancient relics, Ma Yin Temple in the village has been listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

There is an underground river spring at the head of the village, the spring water is continuous all the year round, forming a clear stream, people used the stream water as drinking water, washing vegetables and washing clothes in the past, this stream with spirituality, called Lingxi, later changed to Fuxi, the name of the village comes from this.

Everywhere reveals the cultural atmosphere, gatehouse, ancestral hall and dwellings, like to decorate with lotus, chrysanthemum, plum, orchid and other elegant calligraphy and paintings; and to Fu, Lu, Jin Yuan, Buddha Shengong as the wood carving pattern of the flower window lintel; there are cloud magpies, bamboo pine, dragon and phoenix as the painted beam eaves and arches.

On the way, a buffalo came over, walked in front of him, and stopped and looked at everyone curiously. A few small shops run by the villagers themselves. There is no need to buy tickets, there is no trace of commercialization, and it is not like a lot of tourist attractions, except for the shops that do business, there are almost no real homes, and the villagers live here, which seems to be vibrant.

Behind each gate building, there is a long small bluestone roadway, as well as a small gatehouse. Every time I walked for a while, there was one, and suddenly it rained, and I went in to hide from the rain. Cracked wooden pillars, blurred plaques, everything tells the vicissitudes of life.

A family was eating, and Johnson was very curious about what they usually ate, but he didn't expect the host family to be very enthusiastic, so he insisted on eating, and said that he would take a sip of wine if he didn't dislike it. It's all self-brewed rice wine, and it's hard to drink a cup to taste.

It's really pure rice wine with a natural taste, not too fragrant and not too sweet, and it doesn't lose sake at all. I ate stir-fried vegetables, mung bean and tofu soup, stir-fried meat with wild bamboo shoots, lentils, fried pork with black fungus, and peanuts. A happy and sincere smile, something I haven't seen in a long time, simple and warm.

The roads in the village are well repaired, all cement roads, near the reservoir and wetlands, and wooden walking paths. Walking on the road in the village, I saw many fluffy fruits, which were blown down by the wind after ripening on the chestnut trees on the roadside, which made people feel that the environment in the village was very natural.

I heard that there is a Yao village nearby, the legendary Changfa Village?

There are more than 300 Hongyao Yao people, more than 120 adult women, more than 80 of whom have hair above 14 meters, and the longest one reaches 18 meters.

Hongyao women are good at needlework and embroidery. Girls begin to learn the traditional customs of embroidery at the age of thirteen or fourteen. The embroidery is exquisite, and it is not necessary to draw first, but to rely entirely on experience, according to the cloth holes in the warp and weft of the base cloth to conceive the embroidery pattern, in their words, called the number of cloth eyes.

It is not uncommon for a stitch to be woven entirely by hand, and it takes months or years to complete a garment.

Everyone I met was brightly dressed and smiling like silver bells, without the slightest fear of unfamiliar shyness. The mountains give them a lively and unrestrained nature, long hair like a coil, black as paint, even if the face is crawling with the ravines of age, but the black hair on the head is still the same.

Coiled hair is very particular. He grew his hair from his youth, and when he was young, he wore it on his head and wrapped it in embroidered black hand-woven cloth.

It not only protects that hair, but also a characteristic decoration of the nation, representing the unmarried sister. Their long hair must be opened by the groom himself on the day they enter the cave.

After getting married and having children, the hairstyle has changed, and the oolongpan hairstyle is tied in a bun on the forehead, and the rest is coiled on the head. The bun on the forehead is a sign of being married and having children. Those who are married and have no children have a screw hairstyle.

Treat your hair as a second life, and have three haircuts in your life, the first of which is to cut your hair only once in your life at the age of eighteen at the rite of passage, and at the same time to wrap the cut hair.

The second is that the hair that falls out of the usual combing is collected one by one, and the third is the hair that grows after the age of 18 and is never cut again.

What surprised SC Johnson the most was that no matter how old they were, their heads were covered with green silk, and what was the secret to how hard it was to see a single gray hair?

In addition to the unique water and soil, good living habits and simple lifestyle, there must be unique hair and hair care tips.

Asked a sister and finally knew the answer.

Sister Ah said that they never use modern shampoos. Instead, yuzu peels, tea oil residues and some secret Chinese herbs are put into fermented rice washing water, boiled, and then used to wash hair after cooling.

Each time you wash your hair, soak your hair in rice water for a period of time to allow your hair to fully absorb nutrients, then wash and comb it with spring water to dry it naturally.

After careful maintenance, the long hair is like a waterfall, soft and black, not yellow, not split, and has become a special scenery in Yaozhai.

Now the village is famous and has become a tourist attraction, the girls are singing and dancing, laughing and laughing, and the traditional costumes of the Hongyao people are bright and beautiful, carrying the history and culture of the Hongyao people. The long hair brings excitement to the people of Guoluo Yao, and also helps them get rid of poverty and live a better life.

Standing in Tiantou Village looking at the high mountains in the distance, you can see pieces of green rice fields, spread from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, surrounded by mountains, there is very little arable land, and the mountains are mostly dirt and mountains, in order to supplement the lack of cultivated land, as early as a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Yao nationality used this way to cultivate rice fields.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the rice fields, illuminating the mountains golden, and the rice that had been harvested was woven into a beautiful watercolor picture in the water waves.

Before leaving to buy a few pieces of the girls' craftsmanship, for them, embroidering clothes is a happy thing, because the red Yao girl who flies the needle and thread is often a love song accompanied by needle and thread, and the color embroiders the sweetness of the heart.

From learning with needlework and thread, to quietly preparing a wedding dress for yourself when the craftsmanship is exquisite. Embroidered wedding dresses are more elaborate than other garments, and the patterns are very delicate. The chest and back are embroidered with mountain flowers in full bloom, lotus flowers, double flying butterflies, and double deer are auspicious......

The placket is trimmed with lace, and the skirt is an umbrella pleated skirt, which is embroidered or batik, and the black background is dotted with green, and the patterns complement each other, revealing a simple and modern atmosphere. In addition to clothes, there are belts and turbans. The colorful threads on the belt are staggered and tied around the waist for a decorative effect.

The turban is a black square scarf, and the four corners of the turban are embroidered with a unique little prism. An unmarried Hongyao girl with her hair crossed and coiled flat around her head, and a prismatic shape should be exposed on her forehead when she wraps her headscarf. If you become a mother, your hair is coiled alternately, in a bun in front of your forehead, and the prismatic shape is hidden in a turban. With the prismatic symbol on this headdress, young men and women will not find the wrong person when interacting.
