In a trance, this person gave me a sense of déjà vu, as if I had seen it somewhere. Seeing that he sincerely invited and nodded and smiled, I also nodded and smiled, got up and sat down at his table.

Took the small porcelain cup he brought, an incomparable tea fragrance came to the nose, this fragrance is different from the taste of Tieguanyin, Biluochun, Longjing that I have smelled, the tea fragrance is thick and far-reaching, it seems to be a little medicinal fragrance mixed with it, giving people a kind of refined fresh, refreshing artistic conception, and like a kind of fairy pill volatile silk fairy energy, immediately bring up the whole body to breathe at the same time.

When you get to the entrance of the tea, you can feel the essence with the root of the tongue and the throat, and hide its fragrance on the left and right sides of the tongue, as if there are thousands of floral fragrances and thousands of jade dew in the mouth, and the intuition is endless, surrounded by clouds and mist, and in just a few seconds, the whole person is intoxicated by the deep taste of such a good tea for the first time.

To be honest, in the past, I used to drink tea in general, and I followed my classmates to enjoy tea in some teahouses casually, and I have never studied the tea ceremony, but today it really opened my eyes and completely opened up the tea roots around my body, and I am afraid that I will also fall in love with it in the future.

Seeing that I was surprised and forgetful, the man couldn't help but smile slightly, and needless to say, I could already tell from my demeanor that I approved of this cup of tea. So he continued to add water and refill another glass for me.

I had to express my gratitude for being so good at the host, but I had nothing else to do, so I chatted with him as a thank you. If what he said is true, this tea is produced by several Dahongpao mother trees in Jiulong, Wuyi Mountain, with olive shells to burn the fire, with ancient well water as the liquid brewed.

"Da Hong Pao seems to have heard of it, it turns out that it tastes like this, the first time I drank it. It's kind of like black tea. I said to the man. In fact, it was only after a long time that I learned that if it was the genuine product produced by the mother tree of the Kowloon Cave, it was basically priceless, and this kind of tea was only drunk by the emperors of previous dynasties. (You can check the price of tea produced by the mother tree of the Kowloon Cave in Kowloon, tsk!)

"Well, it's delicious. Are you also here to play in Qingyan?" the man laughed, and we couldn't help but chat. It turned out that this old man was also a tourist who came to Guizhou alone, claiming that he had been working for the government before, and because he was too tired, he simply quit his job to kill time. We talked about what we saw and heard along the way, and commented on the scenery of Guizhou, talking about Miaojiang and the Grand Canyon in southwest Guizhou, mentioning the primitive cave dwelling villages and mysterious customs in southwest Guizhou, all of which were extremely yearning and curious.

"So are you really going to go around the southwest of Qianxi, a girl walking alone in the remote and inconvenient mountains and rivers, but you have to be extra careful," the old man, who called himself "Lei", said to me.

"Maybe, where to go, it depends on the mood. I didn't answer him directly.

"Then I wish you a good time, have a good trip, I'll go first, and then go around elsewhere. "The tea has been drunk five or six times, and the words are almost the same, this uncle surnamed Lei finished cleaning up his tea set, but consciously went downstairs first.

After a while, I saw from the terrace that Uncle Lei was carrying a small bag on his back and leaving the inn in loose casual clothes. As soon as Uncle Lei left, the old mother of the inn came up to the terrace to add water to me and said to me that the guest who had just left gave her a set of high-quality Nanmu Kung Fu tea sets, and she didn't dare to ask for it, but the guest just smiled at her, and she couldn't help but accept it herself. After seeing that we had been chatting for a while, the old mother thought that I had met the guest and wanted to ask me to bring the tea set back. It's a pity that each other is a passerby, and I can't help the old mother, the old mother is quite moved with the tea set, and even said that she has never seen such a beautiful thing.

It seems that this Uncle Lei is really a wonderful person, to make tea to find the ancient well water, I heard that it is still from the ancient town of a well called "honey spring" in the water, after brewing tea will be given to the tea set to people, travel only carry a small bag that can hold a few books, wearing just a simple hoodie and sports casual pants, this is not a long way out of the way ah, I can't help but feel a little interesting.

There are a lot of scenic spots around Guiyang City, in addition to Huaxi, there are Hongfeng Lake Scenic Area, Baihua Lake Scenic Area, etc., and after looking at some of the surrounding scenic spots, then go to the Guizhou tourist business card that all tourists will basically go to - Huangguoshu Scenic Area near Anshun, in fact, the Longgong Scenic Area there is now also thriving.

Because the south of Anshun is basically the Buyi and Miao Autonomous Region, to here, there are people wearing ethnic minority costumes everywhere, I have to say that the ethnic minority costumes are very distinctive, headdresses, silver ornaments, special batik dyeing skills, etc. constitute a landscape of clothing culture.

A large part of the reason why I am interested in southwest Guizhou is because of the Miao culture here. Today's young people may rarely know that the Miao people are not only one of the oldest ethnic groups in China, but also a nation with their own special cultural heritage, this ancient ethnic minority not only has its own calendar, but also its own unique perception of nature, heaven and earth, and Han culture has many differences.

According to modern historians, the Miao people have migrated several times in history for various reasons, and one of them must be said to be the second great migration of the Miao people. In the first migration, the Miao people migrated eastward along the Yangtze River from their birthplace (i.e., the middle and upper basins of today's Yapan River, Minjiang River, Bajiang River, and Jialing River) to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. After living in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River for a long time, the ancestors of the Miao people were numerous, prosperous, and multiplied, and they were also known as the "Jiuli" tribe at that time. According to the side records in ancient history, during this period, many people in the Jiuli tribe had supernatural abilities and great magical powers, and became the dominant nation at that time.

At that time, Chiyou was smart, studious, brave and good at fighting, and had great magical powers. Under his rule, the Jiuli tribe produced various weapons, and the army became stronger and stronger, and there were conflicts with the Yandi tribe in the south. In order to fight for territory, Chi You led the Jiuli tribe to defeat the Yandi clan in the south, forcing the Yandi to flee to the north of the Yellow River with part of his clansmen.

After defeating Emperor Yan, in order to completely establish the great Chinese power of the Jiuli tribe, Chi You led the Jiuli army to fight against the emperor clan in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River a few years later. At first, the emperor fought nine battles with Chi You and lost nine times, facing Chi You's heavenly mana and the bravery and might of his subordinates, and even the emperor's daughter was turned into a zombie "Lu" by Chi You in front of the battle.

After the emperor and Emperor Yan united, and invited the gods to protect them, and Chi You fought in the wilderness of the deer, after the defeat of the Jiuli tribe Chi You was killed, in order to prevent the resurrection of Chi You, the emperor ordered people to divide the body of Chi You and bury the body to the ends of the earth in all directions.

Later, the various tribes of the Jiuli tribe fought against the emperor for a long time, and finally lost many battles because the dragons were leaderless. In the years that followed, the Jiuli gradually weakened, and some of them established the Li state in the north, some were captured as slaves and later merged with the Han Chinese, and some returned to the south and became the third migration.

After two or three migrations and wars, the descendants of the Miao people gradually settled in the area around today's Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan junction. Due to the influence of different places of residence, cultural differences, and branch lines, the Miao people are also differentiated. According to one of the sayings, the Miao people are also divided into red seedlings, white seedlings, green seedlings, and flower Miao people, or they are divided into long skirt seedlings and short skirt seedlings according to the length of their skirts.

I have also seen some records of the internal distinctions and cultural inheritance of the Miao people from other ancient records and wild histories. Some books say that after all, the Miao people had many supernatural abilities during the Jiuli period, and after they were exiled in the southwest region, these supernatural abilities were also passed down with the context of different ethnic groups. For example, legend has it that the Red Miao people inherited the mastery of fire spells, the White Miao people inherited the mastery of water spells, the Qing Miao people are proficient in medicinal herbs and are good at curing diseases and saving people, and the Black Miao people are good at poison Gu and various spells, and there are Gu women in the clan.

The main beliefs of the Miao people are nature worship, totem worship and ancestor worship and other primitive religious forms, the traditional society of the Miao people is superstitious ghosts and gods, believe in witchcraft, think that ghosts are abandoned or wronged souls change, in many areas, the Miao people also believe that there are many spirits in nature, such as cows in the stable with dung to cover the body or in the stable, the dung into a circle, pigs eat piglets or lie in the trough, ducks eat duck eggs, tigers enter the field, encounter two snakes to cross tails, hens make rooster crows, etc.

In fact, the wizards of the Miao nationality are the main inheritors of Miao culture. In the Miao nationality, the vast majority of Miao people's worship of witchcraft can be said to be the cultural heritage of the whole nation, the main scope of the Miao people's devout witchcraft is the yin, divination, gods, Gu arts, etc., the general witchcraft is presided over by the wizard, and some local wizards also serve as the village elders.

In addition to being familiar with sacrificial witchcraft, most of them can also tell the genealogy of their own clan, major historical events and migration routes of their own people, and are familiar with various myths and legends, ancient lyrics, folk tales, and some wizards also have the functions of singers and dancers, so that wizards are important inheritors of Miao traditional culture, and play the role of intellectuals in Miao society. Because of this, shamans have a revered status among the Miao people.

Ancient Miao shamans were also proficient in astronomical calendars, as can be seen from the inheritance of today's Miao calendar. The ancient Chinese Miao calendar and the ancient Egyptian calendar belong to the same solar calendar, but more than 3,800 years earlier than the ancient Egyptian calendar of more than 6,200 years ago, the calendar is 365 days per year, and four years are a leap, the difference is that the extra day of the leap year of the ancient Egyptian calendar is six days, and the additional day of the leap year in the ancient Miao calendar is one day. In addition, the ancient Miao calendar is consistent with the solar return year length of 365.25 days, and the Tengu cycle is 1460 years old, which is more accurate.

It is precisely because of the mysterious culture of the Miao people, when you come to Guizhou, you naturally want to feel the customs and cultural characteristics of the Miao family, if you have the opportunity to really meet the wizards of the Miao people, and see the mysterious witchcraft mastered by the Miao people, it will be really worth the trip.

So, after swimming in the steaming Huangguo Tree and taking a boat deep into the underground Dragon Palace, which is said to be able to lead to the Yangtze River, I continued to walk south and came to Guanling, Guizhou, a little further south.

In fact, I originally wanted to go to the Qianhu Miao Village in the southeast of Guizhou, I heard that it was very comfortable there, and you could enjoy the customs of the Miao family, but the traffic had to turn back to Guiyang first, because I also planned to go to the southwest of Guizhou to see another beautiful scenery - Maling River Grand Canyon, it was too difficult to go back and forth. Therefore, through understanding, there is also an extremely ancient Miao village in Guanling - Da Miao Village, so I stopped by to live in Guanling Da Miao Village for a few days, and then continued to go deep into the southwest of Guizhou.

The southwest of Huangguoshu Waterfall, the place where the straight line distance is ten kilometers away is the largest Miao village in Guanling County, so it is called "the first village of Miao Ling", there are 300 Miao families in the whole village, it is the place where the Miao "Mengsha" branch gathers.

After coming to this Guanling No. 1 Miao Village, I realized that my choice was absolutely correct. Guanling Miao Village in Guanxing Expressway Shangguan exit to the northeast six kilometers, the big Miao Village is surrounded by mountains, the primitive ecological forest is stacked on top of each other, the terraced fields are directly connected to the white clouds by the mountain, there is the Xima River flowing by the side of the village, the rows of wooden buildings in the village are built according to the mountain, the Miao family courtyard in the middle of the Miao Village is scattered and orderly, the whole Miao Village is quiet and heavy, and the surrounding mountains are full of verdant, so that I deeply like this place like a paradise as soon as I come to this Miao Village.

Especially in the east of Miao Village, independent and upright, lush and beautiful Shangguan Wanfeng Forest and the majestic Huangguoshu Mountains are in full view, the whole Miao Village and the nearby mountains and forests between the birds and flowers, clear streams and springs, it is really a paradise in the world, in my feeling, the aura of this piece of heaven and earth has been fully collected by this Miao Village, therefore, as soon as I come to this place, I am ready to live here for a few more days.
