Yumu Village

Yumu Village, Tujia Village, located at the junction of Shanghai, 61 kilometers east of Lichuan City, surrounded by cliffs, Yumu Village covers an area of 6 square kilometers, living more than 500 Tujia Mountain People. There are Tujia Ancient Fort, Xiongguan, Ancient Tombs, Plank Road and Civil Houses. It is the most well-preserved Tujia cottage in China. The castle wall and ancient plank road in the scenic area are well preserved. Dozens of ancient tombs are exquisitely carved stone. The passway is thrilling. The villagers produce simple and traditional living utensils. National customs have a special flavor, known as "Xanadu" the beauty of the name.

The death view of the Tujia family: The concept of death of the Tujia family is very detached, and it is in stark contrast to the taboo death of the Han people. They regard death as life, and consider death the most important and festive event in life. In behavior 1 The construction of tombs began before life, and the construction of luxury tombs was gathered for life. 2 people are in the same house. Yumuzhai was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and it was completely walled on all sides, at an altitude of 1200. At present, it is only connected to the outside world by a bridge, and the bridge has a history of only more than 20 years. Before that, the people in the village were connected to the outside world by the "sky ladder" on the cliff. The ladder was 800 meters long (we wanted to see the ladder, followed the indigenous guide to walk 10 meters on the cliff, retreated, leaving regrets). There are 5 important ancient buildings here. 1 Shuangshouju during the same period. Belongs to the family. My guide is the four grandsons of the tomb owner. The tomb is connected to the wall of the house for the children. This is the only one in China that is currently best preserved: the ghost house (this building is extremely scarce). The guide said that in the past few years, the government let him move out.2 To the house. Building during the Tongzhi period. Later became a school. 3 to the mother's tomb and his son Xiang Xu's tomb (Guangxu years) 4 Tujia old building (subject to unknown) 5 five consecutive years of Guangxu years, subordinate to Cheng Aeon. There is still a couple living in the year of the Guangxu years. Before writing the picture, I asked the 67-year-old guide: whether I would taboo my ancestors' tombs. He said no taboo. Yumuzhai 5 buildings, which took 2 hours. Very precious.

It is said that the tusi fought at that time, and the dangerous terrain of Yumuzhai made the other party unable to attack for a long time. After a few months, the horse toast of the village threw down the live fish and hung on the tree in front of the tusi account that came to attack the village. The tusi sighed: "To conquer this village is like a fate to ask for fish." Since then, Yumuzhai has the name.

A tourist attraction around Lichuan. It is a good place to cool in summer

Yumuzhai is a village on a small platform, surrounded by cliffs and cliffs. There is only a path along the ridge connecting the outside. The narrowest place is the gate of the village, which is about 2 meters wide. It's really "a man should be a Guan Wanfu Mo Kai". Although it is a mountainous area, Yumuzhai's terrace is relatively flat, with villages, fields and more than a hundred families. If they have little contact with the outside world, they can be self-sufficient. The old houses in the village are nothing more. There are some old tombs with small scale, but also some good stone carvings. From the cliff, there are also paths leading down to the valley below, but they are quite dangerous. Especially in "bright ladder" and other places, stone staircases are formed by inserting stones on the cliff. If they are less daring, they dare not walk.

The scenery is pleasant, the fun is very strong, the price is super high, it is worth enjoying, it is worth playing.
