There are more than 200 kinds of Miao costumes in Qiandongnan Prefecture, which is the most diverse and well-preserved area in China and even in the world, and is called "Miao Costume Museum". On the whole, Miao costumes have maintained the traditional weaving, embroidery, picking and dyeing techniques in China. While using one main technique, they often use other techniques, either picking embroidery, dyeing embroidery or ribbon embroidery, thus making these costumes colorful and showing distinctive national artistic characteristics. From the content point of view, clothing patterns are mostly based on various life images in daily life, which plays an important role in expressing meaning, identifying nationalities, branches and languages. These video records are called "epic worn on the body" by experts and scholars. From the modeling point of view, China's traditional line drawing or approximate line drawing modeling technique with single line as the outline of the pattern is adopted. From the perspective of production techniques, the five forms of weaving, sewing, splicing and cutting in the history of costume development are all examples in Qiandongnan Miao costumes, with distinct historical levels, which can be called the exhibition hall of costume production history. From the color point of view, they are good at choosing all kinds of contrasting colors, and strive to pursue the richness of colors, generally red, black, white, yellow and blue. From the composition point of view, it does not emphasize the prominent theme, but only pays attention to the requirements of the overall sense of clothing. Formally, it can be divided into formal clothes and casual clothes. Dress-up is a kind of costume used for holiday etiquette and wedding. It is complex and gorgeous, which reflects the artistic level of Miao costumes. Casual clothes, the style is quieter and simpler than formal clothes, with less materials and less labor, suitable for daily wear. Besides formal and casual clothes, Miao costumes are different in age and region. This is also the reason why Miao costumes are encyclopedias worn on the body. Miao girls like to wear pleated skirts. There are more than 500 pleats on a skirt, with many layers, some as many as thirty or forty layers. These skirts, from weaving, dyeing, sewing to final drawing and embroidery, were all done by the girls themselves. Coupled with hand embroidered belt and flower chest pocket, it is really colorful and beautiful. When it comes to "clothing", we have to think of "decoration". The headdress includes a silver horn, a silver fan, a silver hat, a silver handkerchief, a silver floating head row, a silver hairpin, a silver pin, a silver crown flower, a silver net chain, a silver comb, silver earrings and a silver children's hat. If the well-dressed Miao girls get together, it will definitely become a beautiful silver world. It is the nature of Miao girls to wear silver ornaments. They put them in a bun on their heads, about 20 cm high, and made exquisite silver crowns. There are six silver wings of different heights inserted in front of the crown, which are decorated with Miao silver ornaments, such as playing with dragons, exploring flowers with butterflies, flying towards the phoenix, birds flying towards the phoenix and swimming in the water.

Mode. In some areas, in addition to silver pieces, silver horns with a height of about 1 m are inserted into the silver crown, and the tips of the horns float in color, which makes them more noble and rich. There is a silver ribbon at the lower edge of the silver crown, and a row of small silver pendants hang down. The silver collar worn around the neck has several layers, mostly made of silver pieces and small silver rings. Wearing a silver lock and a silver collar on his chest, wearing a silver cloak on his chest and back, and hanging many small silver bells. Earrings and bracelets are all made of silver. Only the two sleeves are embroidered with lux as the main tone, but the cuffs are also inlaid with a wide circle of silver ornaments. The costumes worn by Miao girls often weigh several kilograms, and some of them have been accumulated and passed down from generation to generation, and they are known as "fairies with silver in flowers". The silver ornaments of Miao nationality are gorgeous and exquisite, which fully shows the wisdom and talent of Miao people. In Mario, which is less than 10 km away from Qianhu Miao Village in Xijiang, it is controlled by Zoroastrianism and Five Higher Education. It is a well-known hometown of Miao silverware, in which linen is the most professional, and 85% are silversmiths. According to legend, the Li family in his village is behind the royal silverware bureau of the Miao nationality "Nanshao State" in the Tang Dynasty.

Edit the origin of Miao names in this paragraph.

Miao nationality is called Gu, which was first seen in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were names such as Sanmiao, Nanman, Man Jing and Wulingman. These appellations confuse the appellations of Miao and other nationalities. After the Song Dynasty, Miao was separated from some mixed names of "Man" and became a single national name. Miao people call themselves "bears" (fruit bears) in Xiangxi, while they are called "Mao", "Meng" or "Meng" in other areas. "Meng" or "Meng" means "tree heart" in Qiandongnan Miao language. According to legend, the maple tree has a "sister list, sister stay" (mother butterfly), and the "sister list, sister stay" has a distant ancestor of the Miao nationality, so it is called "Meng" or "Meng". Some areas are called "Gan Ao", meaning Wu, which may be the remains of the totem of the ancient Wu clan. Historically, according to their different costumes and places of residence, the word "Miao" had different names before it. After 1949, they are collectively called Miao nationality. ? The origin of Miao nationality is related to the clan or tribe called "Nan Man" who lived in the Yellow River valley to the Yangtze River valley and south of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River more than 4,000 years ago. Some people think that Chiyou in the ancient legend era is the ancestor revered by the Miao people today, which is related to the Miao people. Some people think that the ancient three seedlings have something to do with Miao. Some people think that today's "Miao" can be traced back to the ancient "fast" people. In addition, there are three theories, namely, Xiang Dou theory, Yelang theory, Ba County Nanjun people theory, Pan theory and Wu Lingren theory. In recent years, it has been suggested that Chiyou in the legendary era, Sanmiao in the Tang Dynasty, Kuai in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, Qianzhongman or Wuling Man in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and Qin and Han Dynasties all include Miao ancestors, which are different names for Miao ancestors in different times in history. In short, according to historical records and legends, Miao ancestors lived in the Qingjiang River Basin in Hubei and Dongting Lake in Hunan during the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. Around the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were activities of Miao ancestors in Bashu, Yelang and Jingzhou. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, most Miao ancestors settled in Wuling County, Zhang Ke County, Yueyi County, Baxian County, Nanjun County and other areas, and a few continued to migrate to Liujiang River Basin in southeastern Guizhou. Later, due to war, famine, epidemic disease, numerous births and abandoned farmland, they continued to migrate.

Edit this taboo of Miao nationality.

Maternity taboo: pregnant women give birth and avoid outsiders. The wrong person should wash his feet and drink a bowl of cold water when going out to prevent the maternal milk from being "trampled dry". Maternal avoid eating old beef, pork, pheasant, small fish, vegetables, peppers and so on. In some Miao areas, it is forbidden for pregnant women to meet pregnant women and go to other mothers' homes, otherwise it will be considered as prolonging the delivery period. Farming taboo: Miao people send manure back to the fields for the first time every year, and it is forbidden to meet outsiders. If they meet, they are forbidden to say hello. When planting seedlings, if you see fish in the Miao Di, don't say fish, or the fish will eat the roots of the seedlings. When some villages harvest millet, the ears are small and they are not harvested. If the children ask, don't say "no", say "they haven't grown up yet", otherwise Xiaomi will refuse to grow any longer because of his sadness. Don't mention mice in Tanaka, for fear of hearing them destroy crops, you can only call them "their father and son" instead. Avoid May Day. After the first month in beginning of spring, avoid breaking ground and carrying water on May Day. Funeral taboo: In some Miao areas, male death is forbidden during the day and female death is forbidden at night. Think that the time is wrong, the deceased must be accompanied by another opposite sex. Therefore, he was unwell when he died. When he lost his family, he often asked the wizard to say "change" and make a palm-sized wooden coffin to be buried with him, indicating that he had a companion. Avoid putting non-silver metals such as iron and copper, cotton and things coated with tung oil in the coffin, thinking that the deceased can't buy water to drink on the way back to the East, and iron and copper will toss talents to death. In some Miao areas, on the Day of the Dead in the village, you can go to work, but don't go to work in the fields. On that day, people in the same village should avoid collecting firewood and go home, otherwise the firewood collectors will have disaster. During the suspension of classes, family members are forbidden to eat vegetables. After burial 1 month, nothing in the house may be sold or borrowed. Taboo of living customs: In some Miao areas, it is forbidden to wash and drink rice retort, rice bag and rice basin at any time, only when eating new rice, to show that the old rice is removed and the new rice is welcomed. Washing at any time will wash away the family wealth and there is not enough food. Drinking raw water in the mountains should not be directly drunk. You must mark the grass first to show that you are killing sick ghosts. Don't touch other people's clothes on the roadside, so as not to catch leprosy. Avoid children playing with small bows and arrows at home for fear of shooting their ancestors. Avoid crossing the child's head, or the child will not grow tall. It is forbidden for women to sit on a bench with their elders. Taboos of Miao nationality vary according to different branches.

Edit the five great migrations in Miao history in this section.

According to experts' research, the five great migrations in Miao history are as follows: The first great migration was that Miao ancestors moved eastward from the middle and upper reaches of Yalong River, Minjiang River, Bajiang River and Jialing River in Sichuan to the north and south sides of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and settled between Dadongting and Peng Li on the south bank; The north shore reaches Jianghan Plain. I have lived here for many years. With the development of production, life has improved, population has increased, and the level of science, technology and culture has also improved day by day. This is the first great migration of Miao people from west to east. The reason for the great migration was that the ancient Qiang people went south, forcing the Miao ancestors to move eastward, about tens of thousands of years ago (primitive society). The second great migration was called "Jiuli" after the Miao ancestors lived in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River for a long time. They clashed with the Yan Di family in the south and defeated the Yan Di family. Some of them directly chased the Yan Di family to the north bank of the Yellow River. Over the years, the influence of Jiuli nationality has become stronger and stronger. Born at this time, Chiyou is smart, studious, brave and good at fighting. Later, he became the leader of Jiuli nationality, made all kinds of weapons, and had strong military strength, which led to armed conflict with Huangdi nationality who came to the upper reaches of the Yellow River. At first, the Yellow Emperor was defeated in nine wars, and then he joined forces with the Yan Di people to fight Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu. As a result, Chiyou was defeated and killed, and his head was buried. Since then, although the ministries of Jiuli nationality have been struggling with Huangdi nationality for a long time, they have been repeatedly defeated because of leaderless. This migration from south to north occurred about 4300-4600 years ago (from ancient times to the Yellow Emperor). The third great migration, long after the defeat of the Battle of Chiyou, most of the subordinates of Jiuli nationality retreated to the south after a long journey. Between Dongting and Peng Li, south of the Yangtze River, the Sanmiao Tribal Alliance was established. This was a migration from north to south about 4200-4 100 years ago (the Yellow Emperor went to Tang Yao). In the fourth migration, Miao ancestors worked hard between Dongting and Peng Li, and established the Sanmiao Tribal Alliance. After a long rest, they gradually became stronger. Tang Yao was afraid of Sanmiao, * * * work, Huan Dou (that is, "Xiang Dou"), so when he acceded to the throne, he immediately "divided Sanmiao north" and worked in Youzhou; Put your heart on Chongshan; Three seedlings and three dangers; In Yushan, the powerful Sanmiao tribal alliance split and collapsed. Some people fled to the East China Sea, and the ancestors of the Miao nationality also preserved an independent group. Only those who fled to Sanyan were still struggling. It was not until Yu Xia's period that he surrendered initially and lived in Sanyan mountainous area. This is a separate migration, and the migration direction is different. For example, Sanmiao migrates from south to northwest; Some of them migrated eastward; The ring has basically not moved, but moved from Dongting and Peng Li to today's Xiangxi. The time is about 4 100 years ago (Yu Shun-Yu Xia period). The fifth great migration, this migration is a separate return. For example, the one who is forced to three dangers (three seedlings) is the strongest one. They were repeatedly robbed by armed forces, resisted again and again, defeated again and again, and fled again and again. They came out of Sanxing Mountain, crossed the snow-capped mountains, crossed the muddy water river (Yellow River), and advanced step by step in the direction of the south wind, passing through Gansu and Qinghai, and passing through the "Tibetan-Yi Corridor" where yaks and camels were produced. The migration direction of Miao nationality along Jinsha River to south Sichuan, northeast Yunnan and northwest Guizhou is from the north. One of them (Huandou) was exiled to Chongshan, which was a short-distance migration, that is, from Chongshan to the east, once arrived in Changde, Hunan, and then arrived in Dongting and Peng Li along the waterway. Later, the Zhou dynasty regarded it as a hidden danger, and "the life method was cut to the south." In the Warring States period, Wu Qifa used force to "go south" and occupied Dongting and Cangwu. This Miao people was forced to flee into Wuling Mountain area, which just grew a little, and was repeatedly suppressed by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was forced to flee to the sunset place, and finally reached the present western Hunan, northeastern Guizhou, southeastern Sichuan and southwestern Hubei. The migration direction of this Miao nationality is east first and then west. The one who fled to the east (some of the three seedlings have seedlings) did not settle in the East China Sea coast for a long time, but slowly left the seaside and gradually moved west. Some of them (about 4000 years ago) may have crossed the ocean to Japan. Today, there are many cultural phenomena in some parts of Japan that are similar or even the same as those of Miao people in Qiandong, China. It can be seen from the Miao migration songs in eastern Guizhou that the Miao migration was peaceful and there was no war. From east to west, they gradually returned to the former Sanmiao Tribal Alliance from the "right by the sea". After a while, in order to "find a good place", they moved back to Wuxi from Dongting Lake, and then entered the Nanling Corridor along Wushui, passing the northern foot of Yuechengling. The migration direction of this Miao nationality is generally from east to west. The migration time of the above three Miao people was about 1200 years ago (Zhou to Song). In addition to the above great migration, there are many small migrations, but around the Song Dynasty, most Miao people settled in their present residential areas. However, the rulers of the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties continued to "suppress", and the Miao people in Xiangxi and Qiandongnan fled everywhere, but they never left Xiangxi, Qiandongnan and Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan. In a word, the migration of Miao nationality experienced many places and hardships in history, and it was not until the nineteenth century (nearly a hundred years) that they settled down. Especially in recent decades, with the implementation of regional ethnic autonomy, people have lived a life of ethnic equality and living and working in peace.

Edit this Miao architecture

Due to the unique migration history, the Miao people have formed their own unique architectural style in the selection of building materials and housing construction. Miao people like wooden buildings, which are generally three-story buildings. The first floor is generally a semi-house to solve the problem of uneven slope, so it is generally used for stacking sundries or keeping livestock in captivity. The second floor is the main house, and the third floor is the granary. Someone specially set up a "beauty lean" on the third floor for young girls to watch and show their beauty, so as to establish a preliminary relationship with Miao's brother. Miaojia

Camus's whole village uses wood as building materials, which is praised by modern architects as the most ecological way of building. Wooden pole fence building not only solves the problem of less flat land in mountain buildings, but also solves the problems of farm debris stacking and livestock feeding.

Edit this Miao village

Xijiang Miao Nationality Village

Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is located at the foot of Leigong Mountain in the northeast of Leishan County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, 36 kilometers away from the county seat and Qianhu Miao Village in Dongxiang, Guizhou Province.

Kaili, the capital of Zhou Nan, is 260 kilometers away from Guiyang, the capital. It is the largest Miao village in China and even in the world, which is connected by more than a dozen natural villages built by mountains. According to statistics, during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1729), there were more than 600 Miao villages in Xijiang River. The second census 1040 was in 1964, and the fourth census 1990 increased to 1227 and/kloc-. According to the latest statistics in 2005, there are 1258 households with a population of 5,326, of which the Miao population accounts for 99.5%. Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village is located in a typical river valley, and the crystal clear Baishui River passes through the village. The main body of Miao village is located on the valley slope on the north side of Hedong. For thousands of years, hardworking and brave Miao compatriots have worked at sunrise and returned at sunset, opening up large terraces in the upper reaches of Miao village, forming a rich farming culture and beautiful pastoral scenery. Due to the limitation of cultivated land resources, Miao residents living here make full use of the topographic features here to build a unique diaojiao building in the Mid-levels. Thousands of diaojiao buildings change with the ups and downs of the terrain, and they are numerous and spectacular. According to their own beliefs and customs, Miao residents here have planted pieces of maple trees as village protection trees at the slope head of each village, which has become one of the important local natural landscapes. Xijiang Miao nationality is an important part of Miao nationality in southeastern Guizhou, and now it mainly lives in the "Xi" ethnic group of Miao nationality. As the largest Miao village in the world, Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village has a profound Miao culture accumulation. The Miao architecture, costumes, silverware, language, diet and traditional customs here are not only typical, but also well preserved. Miao people in Xijiang used to wear robes and headscarves, all of which were black, so they were called "black Miao" or "long skirt Miao". Xijiang Miao language belongs to the northern sub-dialect of Miao branch of Sino-Tibetan language family. The characters used here are the common language of China. Although Chinese is an indispensable language tool for Xijiang Miao people to communicate with the outside world, Miao language is still used for communication between Miao people. Before Yongzheng opened the "Six Halls in Xinjiang" in Qing Dynasty, Xijiang was basically in a foreign land, and local affairs were mostly managed by natural leaders, which was obviously different from that in Han areas, and internal affairs were managed independently. The natural leaders of Miao nationality in Xijiang mainly include "Fang Lao", "Zhai Lao", "Zu Lao", "Li Lao", "Hammer", "Gu Cangtou" and "Lu Huotou". Natural leaders of different natures have different responsibilities, they have the nature of division of labor and cooperation, and they all safeguard the safety and interests of Miao village. "Fang Lao" is the supreme leader of natural places, and each natural place has several villages closely related to each other. "Zhai Lao" is the highest leader of each Miao village, and "Zu Lao" is the leader of a certain family. After the Qing government carried out the "returning home" in Miaojiang, the Miao village in Xijiang was under the jurisdiction of the central government, and the natural leaders such as Fang Lao and Zhai Lao basically disappeared, but the head of the drum storage and the way out were responsible for sacrifice and production.

Generations have lived in this dustpan stockade. The spinning wheel is very long and the years are very long. Ancient folk songs have been sung here for hundreds of years. No matter how modern civilization decorates this ancient village, it is still a quiet and peaceful pastoral life. Diaojiaolou is a masterpiece of Miao nationality. In Dabaozhai, a pole-column diaojiao building is built on the mountain. The first floor is used for raising livestock, the second floor for living and the third floor for storing food. Some places are built on cobblestone foundations, and the paths paved with bluestone slabs in the stockade also fluctuate due to the ups and downs of the mountains. Usually the stockade is quiet. Only on holidays or when guests come, when the small bench knocks, the whole cottage will boil. Children performed bench dancing at birth. After the child is born, the husband's family will pick up millet and wine and go to the son-in-law's house to dance on the bench, usually during the full moon wine. At this time, the husband's family invited people in the stockade to eat and drink from door to door, and they would dance on the bench when they were happy.

Geduo Miao village

Geduo Miao village

Geduozhai has been following the ancient national tradition for hundreds of years. The villagers work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Here, there lives a hardworking nation, a nation that loves life and a nation that is stubborn and unyielding. With the pace of the times, in different times, many Miao kings have emerged in Renduo Miao Village, which is quite famous in southern Guizhou. The ancestors of Geduozhai originally lived in Zhu Jiaxiang, Jiangxi, then moved to Guizhou, and initially lived along Qingshui River and Dujiang River. Later, some Miao people went up the river and settled in Wang Sige Duozhai. In the early years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, Miao village began to be established. After vicissitudes, villagers' houses were still unique wooden structures. Now the daily communication language of Zhaizi is still Miao language. There is only one surname in the stockade-Lu surname, which is very personal compared with other Miao villages. Most of the houses are diaojiao buildings, from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, typical Miao village style. At the top of the village, there are two "Baozhai trees" that can only be embraced by six adults. They are lush and heroic. When you come to Godot Miao Village, you can't live without "wine". Being drunk in Miao family is a sincere performance, and the host is envied by stockade people because of your drunkenness. When welcoming the distinguished guests from afar, the Miao compatriots in Geduo Village often put a roadblock wine in front of the village entrance, so that the Miao girls dressed in costumes can make a toast to the guests. It is really the most solemn etiquette and the highest standard reception of the Miao family. Where there is wine, there is song, and where there is song, there is festival. There are many Miao festivals in Geduozhai, the most famous of which is "June 6th", as well as "Eating New Year Festival" and "July 30th". June 6th is the most grand festival in Geduo Village, and there is also a most distinctive Miao activity: "Sacrifice to Heaven".

After the end, the owner is forbidden to borrow money, rice and things for three days, and return them after three days. Second, the characteristics of inheritance: the sacrifices are passed down from generation to generation, and the procedures are passed down from generation to generation; Spells (sacrificial words) were written by all ancestors and have been used to this day. Third, uniqueness: there are no activities of offering sacrifices to the gods in other places where Miao people live in concentrated communities in Guizhou, but only in Duyun Wang Sigeduo Miao Village. The Gods Sacrifice of the Miao people in Godo is rigorous in procedure, complete in process, standardized in behavior, solemn in atmosphere, mysterious in color and rich in content, which has important research value and ornamental value in ethnology, folklore and primitive religion. Godo Miao song and dance is the record and reappearance of Miao history. Geduo village in southern Guizhou has been called "the hometown of singing and dancing" since ancient times. Every time a large-scale event is held in duyun city, the state capital, there will be a song and dance performance in Godot Miao Village.
