Here is a square paved with stone slabs. The square is crowded with people. The square is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the hillside is also full of people. It turns out to be a natural stadium.
I saw that the men here were indeed, as Luo Yuan said, with cloth handkerchiefs wrapped around their heads, but it was not white, but green handkerchiefs and flower handkerchiefs. They wore double-breasted clothes with long and narrow sleeves and short trousers.
Short and wide, it looks very funny.
Li Wei found that the Miao women were indeed very beautiful and very well-dressed. They also wore headbands, which were quite peculiar. They were almost three feet long, covering their foreheads to the back of their heads, and even their ears were covered inside.
They were covered in jewelry that jingled as they walked.
At this moment, a folk dance was taking place in the center of the square. Dozens of young people in Miao costumes were playing the Lusheng in front of them to guide them. Hundreds of young girls in Miao costumes were playing the Lusheng to follow behind.
, take three steps forward and one step back, and move forward step by step around the square.
Luo Yuan opened her camera excitedly, took a few photos, and asked Li Wei: "What kind of dance is this?"
Li Wei said: "I don't know either."
Fang Xinran said: "This is the Lusheng dance, which is the most representative traditional program of the Miao people."
After a while the dance ended, and people in the square rushed to the east. Fang Xinran said: "The swing show should begin."
They followed the flow of people and came to the east side of the square. They saw a huge spinning wheel almost ten meters high standing on the east side of the square. Fang Xinran told them that it was a swing frame.
At this time, a man and a woman wearing ancient national costumes, amidst the cheers of the people, came to the swing frame holding a plump corn cob and a handful of golden rice ears respectively, and spoke in dialect Uliwala.
After talking to each other, Li Wei and Luo Yuan didn't understand a word. After asking Fang Xinran, they found out that these two people were pretending to be "Qiu Gong Qiu Po" and were reporting the year's harvest to people and congratulating the crops for a good harvest.
Then, young people rushed to get on the swing. The spinning wheel-shaped swing frame, which is more than 10 meters high, has eight spokes staggered from each other. There is a person sitting on each frame. Another person pushes hard from behind, and the swing spins.
It turned faster and faster, and people cheered.
Suddenly, the pusher pushed hard against the crossbar of the swing, and the swing suddenly stopped, and the people on it jumped down one after another. The young man who was finally stopped on the swing began to sing amidst the loud laughter of the people, and he sang also Miao.
None of the three people could understand the song.
Luo Yuan screamed excitedly and took pictures everywhere with her camera, while Li Wei always protected her to prevent her from being knocked down by excited people.
After the program ended, there was another Miao group dance. A dozen young and beautiful Miao girls formed a circle hand in hand and danced for a while. Those beautiful Miao girls enthusiastically invited visitors to join them. Li Wei
Watching from the side, I was also pulled into the circle by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, imitating them to lift their feet, clap their hands, move forward, and retreat.
In the end, even Luo Yuan and Fang Xinran joined in and had a great time dancing.
After the dance, it was time for dinner. I heard that there would be a more exciting show in the evening, so the three of them found a restaurant and had a simple meal.
After dinner, the two women said they had sweated from dancing just now and wanted to take a shower. The three returned to the hotel. The women took a shower for more than two hours. When they came to the square again, it was already dark, but the square
The lights are brightly lit and there seem to be more tourists than in the afternoon.
There were several bonfires burning in the square, and groups of men and women were dancing around the bonfires. It was similar to what they danced in the afternoon, except that there were more tourists participating.
They watched for a while, but they didn't know what was shouted from the loudspeaker. Li Wei and the others found that the older people were resting in the square, while the young men and women were screaming excitedly toward the two buildings on the east and west sides of the square.
The three people were curious and followed a group of people to the hillside.
Although it is already dark, the weather is clear tonight and the moonlight is very good.
I just heard a middle-aged man announcing something loudly. For a moment, the young men rushed out and rushed to the girl they had chosen. They held the girl's neck with one hand and covered the girl's eyes with the other hand. The other young men went to beat her.
Not to be outdone, the girl laughed and struggled. When she broke free, she caught the young man and treated him in his own way. Throughout the venue, men chased women and jumped up and down.
Fang Xinran and Luo Yuan were also blindfolded by two young men, who attracted many young men to lightly beat them on the back. They were so frightened that they screamed. Li Wei didn't know what happened, so he hurried over to kill the two young men.
People pushed away from them.
The man who just made the announcement came over with a smile and told them that this is a traditional program of the Miao people, called back-slapping. It is a way for Miao men and women to talk about love. None of these people had any malicious intentions. He told them the rules of back-slapping.
, invite them to participate.
Luo Yuan screamed excitedly, rushed towards Li Wei, and covered Li Wei's eyes.
Li Wei, a tall and handsome guy, had long attracted the attention of many girls. As soon as his eyes were blindfolded, they all came up to hit him on the back.
Li Wei easily broke free from Luo Yuan's hand. Luo Yuan ran away, but Li Wei caught up with her and blindfolded her.
Luo Yuan's beauty had already attracted many young men, and they all came up to slap her on the back.
Fang Xinran was also aroused by them. She walked over secretly, immediately put her arms around Li Wei's neck, covered Li Wei's eyes, and attracted a group of girls to slap him on the back.
During the commotion, Li Wei found that there were fewer and fewer people around him. He caught a beautiful girl who was beating him and asked him. The girl said: "They have all found their loved ones and made local phone calls."
Li Wei asked curiously: "A native phone? What is a native phone?"
The girl took something off the bamboo nearby. Li Wei took a look and saw that it turned out to be two bamboo tubes with a long line connected in the middle.
The girl said that when they were making phone calls, the two of them were facing the bamboo tube on one side, and they could hear each other talking and singing. Seeing that Li Wei was curious, the girl invited him to make phone calls.
Li Wei followed her deep into the bamboo forest, and saw in the grass, beside the rocks, and in the bamboo forest along the way, there were all pairs of men and women making phone calls. Some of them had shorter phone lines, and some were already hugging each other.
Li Wei followed the girl to a deserted boulder. One person held a bamboo tube, leaned on both sides of the boulder, and started making phone calls.
The girl said: "Brother, is this your first time in Phoenix?"
Li Wei said: "Yes, are you from Phoenix?"
The girl said: "No, I am actually Han Chinese."
Li Wei said: "Then why are you wearing Miao clothing?"
The girl said: "I need it for work."
Li Wei said: "What do you do? Are you a scenic area staff member?"
The girl said: "No, guess."
Li Wei said: "I can't guess, why don't you give me some hints?"
The girl smiled and said: "My job is somewhat similar to that of a reporter... both work with a 'pen'..."
Li Wei suddenly remembered a joke about reporters. Damn it, isn't this a young lady?
The girl continued: "Do you think I look good? My skills are also very good. Seeing that my brother is so handsome, I will give you a 50% discount. How about two hundred?"
Li Wei hurriedly said: "Sorry, I brought my girlfriend with me. I'm sorry. I'll take care of your business next time."
The girl said: "You brought your girlfriend? You mean your two female companions? They also called. I thought we were traveling together."
Li Wei said: "Among the girls who were slapped on the back just now, do you have many of them?"
The girl said: "Except for almost all tourists, local girls on the opposite mountain will not come here."
Li Wei said: "I'm sorry, I didn't know and wasted your time."
The girl said: "It doesn't matter. I'll give you a business card. If you need anything, call me and I'll come to your door."
The girl said and came over and handed him a business card with only one name and a set of phone numbers printed on it. The name was "He Xiangxiang"
