Gaozeng Dongzhai

Gaozeng is a place where the Yi people are beautiful, Gaozeng is also the only way to go to Xiaohuang Village. If you go to Xiaohuang, you will get off the bus and take a look at the beautiful women. It is not bad to play around in the stockade.

In Dongzhai, there are lively festivals all year round, amazing Dai song clubs, breathtaking bullfighting festivals, etc., are the traditions that Dai people have been learning from generation to generation. Just like their wedding, I am amazed at their perfect inheritance of national culture. Now, even in the villages where the Han people live, the local wedding customs have been affected by the West. Most of them will wear wedding dresses, at most, they will wear Tang costumes, but the wedding of the Yi people, But it was passed down very complete. Of course, the wedding of the Yi people is also different. If you marry to a foreign village, the locals call it "external marriage". If you marry outside, the locals will feel less honorable. In the past, the "external marriage" woman will not be happy. Zhanli has a mysterious change of flowers and plants, after taking it, you can decide to have a boy and a girl. The girl of the Yi family said that only the girl in Zhanli Bencun, and married to the village, will be eligible to enjoy the change of flowers and plants, married to the daughter of the village, is not eligible to change flowers and plants, outsiders if they want to ask for it, they will be rejected. Such legends have been circulating in Congjiang, even the Yi people in Dongzhai except Zhanli, speaking of Zhanli, are full of wonder and worship, even they feel that the village is very mysterious. Every village will have a drum tower, in the early years, this drum tower is used for gatherings and singing places, if there is something big in the stockade, will go upstairs to drum, with the drum to convey information. The big song club in the stockade, usually held in the Drum Tower, sitting face to face two rows of young men and women, shy and excited, want to approach but want to say and stop, can only send the mood in the song. If time goes back more than ten years, if the man here can't sing, it is not a wife, who can sing the most, it must become the one that is shrouded in a halo, the beautiful girl will definitely cast a strong love eye over it; So time changed to modern day, in the song meeting young people, also hope that they can show their voice, get the girls' hearts, but finally let the people's surprise is that a boy in the tight, two mice blurt out. Every stockade here has a bull king. The custom of bullfighting is still concerned and valued by the Yi people. Every year, the bullfight will be crowded, leading the bull king in the stockade to fight the bull king in the neighboring stockade, the fight won, the whole stockade people will feel the face of the light, if the fight loses, there is no momentum, the treatment of the bull king will also be because of the victory and defeat. The winning bull king will be loved by the whole village, like a god, and built a special house to give it to live, until the old death, and will be buried after death. And the defeated bull king, fate may be slaughtered like a normal cow, become a plate of Chinese food.

Lijiang County took a car to Congjiang County (which forms a tourist golden triangle with Liping County), and walked very hard through a large mud-filled landslide area to get on a motorcycle to Gaozeng Township Dongzhai. I heard that I wanted tickets, but no one stopped me when I entered, and I saved it. After all, it is a tourist spot. After protection and development, the national customs are well preserved. There are four drum towers and a flower bridge.

Gaozeng Dongzhai is six kilometers from the north of Jiangxi, similar to other Dongzhai.

The village is relatively close to the county seat. At that time, it was by motorcycle. The village area was relatively large and very old.
