One of them is the Datang Scenic Area, which is rich in ethnic customs, architectural culture, folk culture, costume culture and song and dance culture. It has been selected into the list of traditional villages in China, and is known as the first Miao village in the world to wear mini skirts.
Only this time, we didn't see the legendary Miss Miao wearing a miniskirt, but came to the water granary. Just hearing this name, we have a question in our hearts. Why should we build the granary on water? With great curiosity, let's find out.
The water granary group is located in Xinqiao Village, Datang Township, Leishan County, Guizhou Province. 95% of the villagers in the village are Miao people, and they have their own way of life, so they can feel the rich Miao township customs as soon as they come. The water granary is a wonder in Miao buildings. There are more than 40 granaries in the first * *, which are located in the low-lying place in the middle of the whole stockade, surrounded by residential buildings, and there are many unique positions in the country.
Walking into the water granary, the first feeling is like walking into a maze. Each granary has a path running through it, which is connected vertically and horizontally. The buildings are all wooden structures, and each granary is supported by several columns. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it is still strong and the villagers are still using it. Its architecture is simple and unique, which is very different from the granary architecture in cognition. At the same time, it also has the functions of rat prevention, fire prevention, insect prevention, moisture prevention and theft prevention. In addition, it can also raise chickens, ducks, geese and fish in the pond. I have to admire the wisdom of Miao ancestors.
During the tour, I happened to meet an old Miao woman taking food from the granary. They have to step on the ladder to get in and out of the granary, and the function of preventing rats and insects is well realized. The water is built, which is more ventilated and moisture-proof. My understanding of anti-theft is this, because the granary is built in a low-lying place, and there are houses in the surrounding high places, so you can see the granary at home at any time.
In addition to feeling the local folk customs, we found that the water granary is also a good place to take pictures. The unique style and patchwork architecture have a special feeling whether taking photos or videos. I heard from my colleague's lady that there are still many brides taking wedding photos here. As we like to take photos on the trip, we can't avoid taking a lot of photos.
