travel on the tip of the tongue

……

Lin Shenlu was going to collect folk songs early this morning.

The message sent to Sea Blue Whale last night has not yet been answered.

I don't know what this girl is tossing about.

Since the last time I left the Blue Whale in Dali, I have been completely out of contact.

Although Lin Shenlu knew that the sea blue whale should have come to Enshi.

But the calls are not answered, and the WeChat messages are not answered, which is really worrying.

Lin Shenlu couldn't get in touch even if he wanted to, so he couldn't call the police.

It is estimated that she is researching her Whale Deer series store... Lin Shenlu can just wait quietly.

Today Lin Shenlu is ready to explore the chieftain ruins.

This is the most attractive cultural history of this land.

In Enshi Prefecture, where 27 ethnic minorities gather, in the long course of historical development, although it is a pity that it has lost the color of many ethnic minorities, fortunately, these scenic spots still retain the pure genes of ethnic minorities.

For example, the Xianfeng Tangya chieftain site: the only remaining chieftain site in the state.

Enshi has implemented the chieftain system since the Yuan Dynasty.

The chieftain is equivalent to the local emperor, and gradually withdrew from the historical stage with the implementation of "reform the land and return it to the local people".

Under this centuries-long system, the chieftain cultural system has also left behind a wealth of tombs, ruins and cultural relics.

Some of the unearthed cultural relics can be found in the Enshi Museum.

And if you want to know the palace of the local emperor at that time, the Tangya chieftain city site is the only one left in Enshi Prefecture.

The only existing ground-level building at the site of Tangya Tusi City, Jingnan Xiongzhen Archway, is the landmark building of Tangya Tusi City.

In addition to relying on the natural barriers of natural mountains and Tangya River, Tusi City also has city walls built around it.

There is a road system of "three streets and eighteen alleys" in the city, and there are 30 courtyards such as small yamen and large temples.

Only one chieftain's tomb covers an area of ​​more than 400 square meters, which shows the prosperity and luxury at that time.

As the main ruling system of ethnic minorities in Southwest China, the final demise of Tusi City is an unsolved mystery.

Now after walking out of the ruins, you can also enjoy natural landscapes such as geocentric drifting and browsing the Golden Cave.

At this moment, the ruins of Tangya Tusi City in front of Lin Shenlu, covering an area of ​​more than 1500 mu, is located in Tangya Village, 30 kilometers away from Xianfeng County. It was built in the late Yuan Dynasty). At that time, the local chieftain was named "Tuwang" to manage it on his behalf.

The site of Tangya Tusi City is large in scale and magnificent, covering an area of ​​57.75 square meters. It has 3 streets, 18 lanes, and 36 courtyards. Left and right barracks, imperial garden, animal garden and other facilities.

Over the past 260 years since the land was reformed, the streets and walls are still clearly identifiable and some of the buildings are still well preserved. It is the most typical, largest and best-preserved area of ​​ethnic minorities in the border areas of Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Guizhou. A Tangya chieftain city ruins.

Inside and outside the city, there are many cultural landscapes, the most important ones are large-scale stone sculptures such as stone figures, stone horses, and stone archways, the tombs of the king of earth and ancient tombs, husband and wife cedars, concubine springs, etc. Dozens of scenic spots.

This Enshi Chieftain City can be said to be the largest imitation chieftain building complex. The incompleteness of Tangya Chieftain City has been perfected in Enshi Chieftain City. Enshi Chieftain City can be regarded as the best imitation chieftain building complex at present.

In the city, not only the Jiujin Hall of the Tusi Imperial City was imitated, but also the Diaojiaolou of the Tujia folk houses and the Bell and Drum Tower used for sacrifice and military defense.

The 2000-meter-long city wall outside the city protects the people in the city like the Great Wall. When you climb the city wall, you can have a panoramic view of the modern Enshi City.

In the entire Tusi City, the most worthy of careful study is the Jiujin Hall, which is not only extremely particular about the number of columns and doors, but also uses pure mortise and tenon joint technology, which also makes people admire the wisdom of the ancients.

There are 2 performances every day, and you can also feel the enthusiasm and folk song culture of the Tujia people.

Of course, the Tusi City is not far away, which is the Daughter City. The Tujia stilted buildings are full of various shops, so Lin Shenlu did not go too far.

This Enshi Tusi City is about 2 kilometers away from the downtown area of ​​ES. It is the largest Tujia cultural landmark project in the Tujia area in the country, and it is also the largest and most typical antique building complex among the Tujia stilted buildings in the country.

Jiujin Hall is the core part of the entire Tusi City, composed of 333 pillars, 333 stone pillar foundations, 330 doors, thousands of carved wooden windows, thousands of purlins, and tens of thousands of rafters.

In Lin Shenlu's view, one of the highlights is the temple of the ancestor "Linjun" that the Tujia people admired very much. The temple of Linjun sits west and faces east. The heroic feat of a lifetime.

In addition, the Tujia folk houses in the scenic area - stilted buildings are also worth visiting. Most of the stilted buildings are built near mountains and rivers, with fruit trees and bamboo forests planted in front of and behind the houses.

In addition to this place, there is also a Xuan'en Pengjia village, which is considered by Lin Shenlu to be a living ancient Tujia village.

As an autonomous prefecture of the Tujia people, it is unreasonable not to have a village of the Tujia people.

Pengjiazhai is one of the representatives. In the process of great integration, it is not easy to retain its own village characteristics.

There are 45 households in the whole village, all of whom are Tujia.

Diaojiaolou is a characteristic residence of the Tujia nationality. The building is divided into two floors. The first floor is a pen for pigs and cattle or used to store sundries, and the second floor is ventilated and dry as a living room.

In this village of 45 households, individual stilted buildings are spread out layer by layer around the public courtyard dam and Fengyu Bridge.

In front of the village is an idyllic scenery, and behind the village is Guanyin Mountain.

If you want to enter the village, you must first walk through the chain bridge.

The people in the village still retain their traditional living habits, and they can really live the life of Tujia people here.

At present, Pengjiazhai has been protected and has become a paid scenic spot.

Pengjiazhai is one of the typical representatives of Tujia settlements in Wuling Mountains.

When many individual buildings are combined to form a village, it will be centered on the courtyard dam and Fengyu Bridge on the public land.

The Diaojiaolou group relies on Guanyin Mountain and is built on the slope at the foot of the mountain. In front of the village is a row of rice fields, facing the Longtan River, and a chain bridge is built on the river.

On the left is Zhaodagou, on the right is Chajigou, on which there is a century-old pavilion bridge.

……

The Lichuan Dashuijing in front of him reminded Lin Shenlu of a line from the Dragon Boat Tune I watched yesterday.

It has to be said that this Lichuan Dashuijing is a history of the rise and fall of a family.

"My little girl wants to cross the river, who will push me?"

A "Dragon Boat Tune" made Enshi's folk songs famous.

The birthplace of this song is Baiyangba Town, Lichuan City, where Dashuijing is located.

Dashuijing is actually a well, and at first Lin Shenlu also felt that he was not interested.

But here is actually the building complex of the Li family, which shows the history of the rise and fall of a family.

The whole building complex is composed of three parts: Li's ancestral hall, Li's manor and Li Gai's five houses. There are more than 100 large and small rooms and more than 20 patios, which shows the prosperity of the Li family at that time.

Nowadays, the buildings are empty, and only the ancient buildings are silently telling about the prosperity of the past.

……

An Muxi arrived in Enshi today.

In Anmuxi's heart, when you come here, you must see the Enshi Grand Canyon recommended on the Internet.

The Enshi Grand Canyon is a world geological wonder and a natural museum of karst topography and landforms. It is praised as comparable to the Grand Canyon of Colorado in the United States.

There are hundreds of miles of cliffs, thousands of feet of waterfalls, virgin forests, ancient villages, etc. in the canyon, which is a good place for summer vacation and leisure.

In the scenic area, you can also go down to the 300-meter-deep seam, or walk on the [-]-meter-high suspended plank road, enjoying the unique excitement.

The so-called Crouching Dragon Swallows the River has a hidden meaning.

It refers to Tenglong Cave.

Since this is the place Lin Shenlu has always wanted to come to, An Muxi really wanted to explore it. He didn't expect to meet Lin Shenlu, but I walked the way you walked, and I enjoyed a scenery together. That's right.

This Tenglong Cave is located in Lichuan, Enshi Prefecture. It is the largest proven karst cave in my country and the largest single karst cave in the world.

Entering the Tenglong Cave Scenic Area, before seeing the cave, you can already hear the sound of huge water, the rushing water falls to a depth of 40 meters, the foam rolls, the broken jade sprays, and then converges into a majestic and powerful stream. The water flowed towards a cave that looked like a huge mouth.

This is "Wolong swallowing the river", "Wolong" is the water cave of Tenglong Cave, and "Jiang" is Qingjiang.

The Qingjiang River, which originated from Qiyue Mountain, rushed here, fell suddenly, and flowed into the gaping mouth of the "giant dragon".

This used to be the "mother river" of the Tujia people in Enshi - the ancient riverbed of the Qingjiang River, which was penetrated by the river for hundreds of millions of years. Later, due to the movement of the earth's crust, the river was diverted, forming a "dry cave" next to the water cave.

The total length of the dry cave is 59.8 kilometers, the entrance is 72 meters high and 64 meters wide, and can accommodate a helicopter. Unlike ordinary caves, the Tenglong cave dry cave is very dry and rarely drips water.

The scenery in the cave is intricate and winding, the stones formed when the mountain collapsed, and the stone pillars formed by natural weathering...

At the moment, An Muxi is sitting in the battery car of the scenic spot and shuttles through the cave, just like traveling through the "time and space tunnel".

Tenglong Cave Scenic Area is composed of Water Cave, Dry Cave, Liyu Cave, Cool Wind Cave, Sole Village, Three Dragon Gates, and Huaxian Pit.

There are mountains in the cave, caves in the mountains, water caves and dry caves are connected, the main cave and branch caves are connected, and the temperature in the cave is constant at 14-18c all year round.

There are more than 1000 kinds of pictographic stones in the cave, and the landscape is varied and mysterious.Outside the cave, there are beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the scenery is pleasant.

An Muxi played for most of the day, and began to study the choice of the next stop.

According to the strategy, there is another good place here, which is the first best place in Shimen River - Shimen River Geocentric Valley.

This is the origin of human beings and the most mysterious cultural fertile soil in Southwest Hubei, China. "Shimen locks through the ages, and the canyon hides everything." Here is the world's rare alpine karst karst peak and valley landform, and the "First Ancient Road of Bachu" is hidden here. , here has the magical beauty of "ancient, secluded, dangerous, strange and steep".

The most beautiful daughter of the Tujia family, the "Fourth Sister Huang", was born here.

This is the Enshi Geocentric Valley Scenic Area.

Enshi Geocentric Valley Scenic Spot is located at 318 km of the g1314 self-driving highway. It is a very romantic place with a homonym of a lifetime.

The canyons in the area are deep and densely covered with vines, and the plank road hangs on the steep cliffs, with intricate twists and turns.

The winding Shimen river mortar is embedded in the deep ravine, drawing a deep green mark between the valleys on both sides!

Moreover, Yunzhirui, the highest canyon glass bridge in China at present, is inlaid between the valleys on both sides. This first 9d broken glass suspension bridge in the country built by high technology integrates the sight, hearing and touch of tourists. , Walking on the bridge can not only feel thrilling, but also use God's vision to overlook the deep and steep canyon.

An Muxi did not dare to challenge this point.

Think about it or forget it.

Acrophobia is really afraid that I won't be able to get down, especially An Muxi came to play alone.

Of course, An Muxi is tired of playing now.

Don't keep walking alone when traveling alone, you have to let go of your mood and eat, drink and drink.

What Anmuxi Anmuxi has long been looking forward to is the "selenium" style meal of the Tujia people.

Soup soup feast, hanging pot rice, and bowl of wine, these original Tujia delicacies are not only delicious, but also fully reflect the folk customs of the Tujia people, and they are also quite distinctive in terms of eating methods.

"Kill the pig, eat the soup planing", the planing soup feast is the highest standard of Enshi people's hospitality. The steaming small hanging pot, the brightly colored dishes, and the fragrant Tujia taste.This ceremonial Tujia feast is full of the best wishes from Tujia people to guests and friends, and it is an indefinite promise for the future!

Hanging pot rice, as the name suggests, is related to "hanging". The iron pot with iron trips is hung above the firepit, and the fried ingredients are put in.

No matter how cold the winter is, the food is always warm. Sitting around the firepit, drinking and enjoying warm food is the most comfortable time for Tujia people in winter!

In addition, throwing bowl wine is a drinking method practiced by the Tujia people before going to the battlefield in ancient times, which symbolizes the heroism and enthusiasm of the Tujia people.

The small clay bowl is filled with the fine wine of the Tujia people, drank it up, and then threw the bowl on the ground, with the crisp cracking sound of the bowl, all the bad things will go away, and a happy new year will be ushered in. Life!

The amount of selenium deposits in Enshi ranks first in the world, and it is also the location of "the only proven independent selenium deposit in the world" so far, and has the reputation of "the selenium capital of the world".

These selenium elements penetrate into all the animals and plants growing on this land through the conduction of the earth and water sources, so almost all the local ingredients in Enshi contain selenium elements.

Selenium has many functions such as inhibiting cancer and delaying aging. There are few cancer patients in Enshi, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are extremely rare. This is the secret of why people in Enshi live longer.

An Muxi, who spent a day in Enshi, really thinks Enshi is a good place.

This Enshi not only has beautiful scenic spots and all-encompassing Tujia delicacies, but as a "tourist destination" for more and more people, Enshi has emerged in recent years with a large wave of distinctive inns and B&Bs.

They rely on the mountains as the background, combine the local customs of Tujia, combine tradition with modernity, ethnicity and fashion, and create a warm, comfortable and stylish inn.

As a tourist, Anmuxi can not only rest his tired body during the journey, but also "enthusiastic singing and dancing, simple and warm dishes, and a burning bonfire..."

Here, An Muxi feels that he can become an authentic "Tujia people" and experience the traditional culture and life details of the Tujia people in a deeper way.
