Nowadays, “Huangling sun drying in autumn” has become a fixed custom. Every autumn harvest season, every household’s eaves are covered with brightly colored agricultural products such as corn and peppers. It forms a perfect autumn harvest picture with the Hui-style houses with white walls and black tiles. Called “the most beautiful Chinese symbol”.

Taken in Huangling Village, Wuyuan, Jiangxi.

The Huangling Scenic Area in Wuyuan is a typical mountain village, and the houses are scattered in fan-shaped ladders. Huangling is well-known for its “sun in autumn”. The “Tianjie” in the village is like a jade belt that connects classic ancient buildings, and there are many Hui-style shops, and a flowing abbreviated version of “The Riverside Picture on Qingming Festival”. Surrounded by thousands of ancient trees and tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields, the sea of ​​flowers in the four seasons displays stunning land art. The ancient village of Huangling was built on the hillside, surrounded by ancient trees. The back mountain is dominated by green pine. The shuikou forest at the foot of the village is dominated by the yew group. After the cable car is the shuikou forest into the village, most of the trees are fragrant maple and ancient camphor. Most of them are several hundred years old, and the longest is over a thousand years. These trees tell you how long the history of the village is. The well-preserved Hui-style ancient village pattern in Huangling has the original ancient village style and folk customs. The house structure of the village is special. The front door of the first floor of the farmhouse is facing the main road; the second floor of the household can reach higher places. On the other main road, the front door on the second floor is built up and down, which is connected with the horizontal wooden frame built outside the house to dry the agricultural products. This solves the contradiction between building villages on slopes and drying crops without flat areas. Bamboo drying is used for drying crops, which does not occupy space and is convenient for storage. Every year during the harvest season, the houses become a world of sunburn, and the colorful crops and black roofs overlap each other, which is spectacular. Autumn is the season of rich colors. Golden corn and hot red peppers fill the whole house. The aunts are really busy connecting the farming to make it easier to dry. These gorgeous colors make Huangling in autumn more abundant and “very charming.” As night fell, the lights were turned on in every household in the village. The lively small mountain village full of tourists during the day has returned to its original nature and suddenly became quiet. The owner of the two dried peppers under the eaves guessed that they would be busy eating, and forgot them here. Fortunately, the eaves can block rain and dew, so that they won’t get wet by night dew. After dinner, I walked away, and the streets full of tourists during the day became empty. The night here is so quiet, so quiet that I can only hear my own footsteps, so quiet that people forget the trivialities of the world, and it’s so quiet that people feel a little flustered… The originally rough bluestone slab became smooth and round after years of polishing. These exquisitely crafted and luxuriously decorated old houses, after hundreds of years of ups and downs, still stand here, and they have changed owners several times. The former owner here spent a lot of effort to build this luxurious mansion, but the precious wealth he left for future generations is not only material, but more spiritual. These buildings can survive for hundreds or even thousands of years. Thinking about the buildings we have built now…well, I seem to be thinking too much.

At the same time, it also has endless fun such as oxygen inhalation and filtration, forestry leisure, and jungle exploration. These leisure and wild interests make this place full of fun, and it is listed as a treasure destination for summer vacations by many families. Living in Wuling Mountain The reason why Wuling Mountain House “fires out of the circle” is because of the 15 colorful bubble houses on the mountainside, surrounded by forests and wildflowers, strolling on the wooden plank road paved with gravel and sleepers, full of unique wild interest Romance. These 15 bubble houses are arranged in different themes, including 13 double-bed rooms and 2 parent-child rooms; the 6-meter-diameter bubble house has a warm and spacious interior.

The exterior design is Huizhou architectural style. The 27 rooms are named after solar terms. There are various room types such as parent-child rooms, tatami mats, hammocks, garden rooms, etc., which can satisfy different groups of people. Vacation needs.

Jianzia’s change after 5 years confused doctors, because her eyelashes are now even close to the chin. However, the woman is only grateful because this is a “gift from God” after 1 and a half years of going to the mountain to practice. “The first time I noticed my eyelashes growing long was in 2015. They just kept getting longer and longer.” she said. “I went to the therapist, but they couldn’t say anything more than exclaim that this is amazing. I tried to understand the problem from a scientific perspective, such as genetics, but there was no one there. My family has long eyelashes like me. I can’t explain it.” “While pondering, I remembered that I had spent 480 days of meditation in the mountains many years ago. Therefore, this could be a gift from heaven to me.” Jianzia admits she believes in spirituality more, and says that long eyelashes help her look younger and healthier. “My health is very good now, while I was weak when I was young. Not only have I gotten stronger, but I have also been praised by many people for being young.” , she said happily. Unique long eyelashes make makeup more convenient. “Thanks to the long eyelashes, I don’t need eyeshadow or eyeliner. And because they are natural, washing my face or living is easy. Sometimes I carelessly break a few strands, but they are still growing, even long. more than five years ago,” she shared.

Sanjiang, a Dong Autonomous County under the jurisdiction of Liuzhou, Guangxi, is located at the junction of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan. This is a beautiful land with many little-known beautiful scenery. The Xianren Mountain in Bajiang Town is one of them. For one, it is a land like a paradise with high mountains and dense forests and lush vegetation. The full name of Xianren Mountain is Buyang Xianren Mountain, because there is a Dong Village called Buyang Dong Village at the bottom of the mountain, and the village where it is called Buyang Village. As for why this mountain is called Xianren Mountain, Yufan also asked local friends, but No one knows, just saying that people have always called it Xianren Mountain, so I can only understand it like this: This is a beautiful place like a fairy mirror, so it is called Xianren Mountain. What do you think? There are two good places to visit Xianren Mountain, one is the primitive Buyang Dong Village, and the other is the original high mountain tea garden on the top of the mountain. Because we have visited Chengyang Bazhai, Yueye Dong Village and Guan in Sanjiang successively. Dong Dong Village, Da Dong Village and other Dong villages, so when we arrived at Xianren Mountain, we came directly to the original Dong tea garden on the top of the mountain. Xianrenshan Dong tea gardens are called 10,000-mu tea gardens by the locals (according to Yufan’s understanding, there are actually only more than 3,600 acres). These tea gardens are distributed among high mountain terraces at an altitude of 600-1000 meters. They are often surrounded by clouds and mist, so they can be regarded as real mountains. Yunwu Tea Garden. As Xianren Mountain is located in the mountains at the junction of the three provinces of Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan, there is no industrial pollution within a radius of one hundred miles. Therefore, the environment here is excellent, not only the air is fresh, but the content of negative oxygen ions is extremely high, which is 5 times that of the mountain. In addition, this environment is very suitable for the growth of tea, and the Dong tea produced is extremely nutritious. It can be described as a collection of the spirit of the world and the essence of the sun and the moon. It enjoys the reputation of “China’s first tea in early spring”. Looking down on this tea garden from the air, the tea fields one after another are like fingerprints of the earth. They look both regular and full of changes. They are very beautiful. Because of its good ecology, good environment, and good scenery, it is a poetry and distant place that many urbanites yearn for, so it has now been developed into a tourist attraction. At the bottom of the mountain, there are sightseeing buses directly to the Buyang Dong Village and the tea garden on the top of the mountain. Going for a walk inside, I also feel refreshed and happy. Good tea comes out of high mountains and clouds. The tea from Xianren Mountain is an important source of income for the Buyang Dong people. Early May is the season for tea picking. When we arrived, we saw many villagers picking tea, except for a small number of people who were frying it and drinking it at home. In addition, most of the others will be sold to tea merchants who come to buy. Yu Fan asked for a price. One catty of raw tea can sell for more than ten yuan, and it might be more than ten or twenty catties a day, and the income is about 200 yuan. For them, they can make a fortune without leaving the village. The good income can be regarded as a gift from Dashan. We have noticed that in order to welcome the arrival of tourists, Buyang Xianren Mountain has built a complete travel trail and a large number of pavilions for tourists to rest and view. It is really a good place with beautiful scenery and few people, not only the scenery Beautiful, and very suitable for shooting portraits, if you can change into a set of Hanfu with fluttering skirts, the photos will be more artistic. If you are tired from playing, you can also go to the Dong Village on the mountainside to rest and taste the original Dong Township cuisine. You can even choose a homestay with invincible scenery, live in the mountains and see the scenery. If the weather is good, pay back at night. You can see the sky full of stars, don’t mention how beautiful the scenery is, what do you think?

In 2014, American journalist Patrick Abboud visited this mountain to learn and discover the incredible customs and life of the local people. His show has been broadcast on American SBS. Origin of custom This strange ritual dates back to the 16th century, when a young Indonesian prince named Pangeran Samudro, the son of a Javanese king, had an abusive love affair with his stepmother, Princess Nyai Ontrowulan. The two fall in love despite the ties that bind them, and then run away together to the mountain Gunung Kemukus. However, they were caught in the act of having sex and killed by the king. Their graves were built by locals and since then, many people have come here to offer flowers to pray for good luck. Gunung Kemukus mountain in Indonesia. Since then, the Pon festival on the top of Gunung Kemukus was opened. People believe that the above couple has not completed the “sexual affair”, so if you come here and have sex with a stranger, you will have luck and fortune, have a happier and richer life. According to journalist Patrick, this is a Javanese ritual and it is completely different from the Muslim world or anywhere in Indonesia. It is a mixture of beliefs between Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. 8,000 people go to the mountains to have sex with strangers During the Pon festival on Mount Gunung Kemukus, attendees will find a stranger to have sex with. Furthermore, for their wish to come true, they had to do this 7 times in 35 days. Witnessing this custom, journalist Patrick exclaimed: “Unbelievable”. But what surprised him more was the large scale of this festival, each night up to thousands of people, with a peak night of more than 8,000 people coming here to pray. It will take them several weeks to perform this ritual. Pilgrims go to the mountains to pray for good luck. From married men, married women, government officials or prostitutes, all can participate in the ritual for good luck. Most are Indonesians from all regions. In the morning, they will go to the temple to offer flowers and pray. In the evening, they would go looking for strangers to spend the night together. This ritual is so popular that Mount Gunung Kemukus has become a popular tourist destination in Indonesia, attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year. The government and local people have allowed toll fees at Gunung Kemukus mountain, and built many hotels, motels, service areas and bus routes to serve tourism. Unforeseen consequences In the Indonesian concept, going to Gunung Kemukus mountain to have sex with strangers is for good luck, has nothing to do with relationships outside of marriage. However, this also left many unpredictable consequences, Gunung Kemukus accidentally became the main territory of the sex workers. Journalist Patrick followed pilgrims up the mountain for good luck, then approached a woman named Mardiyah, a widow with difficult financial conditions. When she met Mr. Patrick, Ms. Mardiyah had just completed the ritual of having sex 7 times in 35 days. She said the ritual worked because her business got better, helping her make more money. Couples are comfortable “making love” in the hope of having a happier and richer life. Ms. Mardiyah said: “I met a man who also came here for pilgrimage named Gepeng and went with his friends. He didn’t want to reveal the story because he didn’t want his wife to find out but his life. It has also changed a lot.” According to journalist Patrick, the Pon festival inadvertently turned Gunung Kemukus mountain into a good place for prostitution. It can cause problems with sexually transmitted diseases, especially HIV/AIDS, and has many marital and family consequences, such as adultery or children out of wedlock. “I think there’s a contradiction between this ritual and prostitution. That’s why it’s been condemned by the government and the leaders. A lot of people who have contracted sexually transmitted diseases should have it. many health clinics are built in the mountains.I spoke to a doctor and learned that most sex workers are sexually ill, men don’t use condoms often, so The risk is great,” journalist Patrick shared. In addition, this festival also entails many lucrative business activities such as karaoke bars, motels disguised as prostitution, causing bad effects, obscuring religious values. Even so, religious believers still believe in the effectiveness of the festival, while the local government turns a blind eye.

Mr. Tam Co’s group was used to taking medicine in the mountains, so even though they were vegetarians, they were thin, but climbing the mountain was unharmed. I shuffled behind. Where is the medicine? I climbed up and down. Seeing flower eyes, weak legs. Wanting to complain, but afraid of being kicked back, try to keep climbing. Kick after kick and then kick again. Interspersed in the rock are flat sands planted with clover. The drug is further away. It was almost lunch time, when the group had collected a pack of cigarettes each, I caught up with the group. I hesitantly walked over to take some pictures of people taking medicine. Hesitating every step for fear of long reptiles hiding under the leaves, hidden somewhere in the rock crevices. The more wild the place, the more drugs, the more potential wild animals contain venom. Those who take medicine follow the shadow of each branch of medicine growing in the rock jam, on the cliff to reach, uproot, remove the roots… Dust leads to the other, up and up again. Taking medicine is not easy. The journey of carrying heavy packs of cigarettes down the mountain was even more difficult. The steep stone slopes are slippery, and people are crawling along each rock crevice. When taking a lot of medicine, the whole group had to climb up and down carrying medicine three or four times a day on the narrow road. Uncle Ut Egypt, the leader of the group, wore a bandana and smiled with a crisp black smile: “What’s the point of coming here? We’ve been going to get medicine since we were biking. Pedal here from home for half a day, then climb the mountain to dig for medicine and then carry the medicine down the mountain. It takes a couple of days to get medicine for a couple of days. Then the medicine dwindled, had to go all the way to the island, to Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. Many people have died from falling ill while taking medicine in the deep forest of poisonous water. But when you see drugs, you are greedy, so go ahead without fear of extremes.” Uncle Ut Egypt is trying to fly over Ba Doi Om mountain. Uncle Ut Egypt is more than sixty years old, good at picking bones for hire. People take the salary of five million, you take two million. Then he spent that money as the cost of going to herbal medicine to collect each medicine cart and distribute it to good doctors in the area. Extremely happy to help life. Seeing the drug ham is like a farmer having a successful crop. People like the group of Uncle Ut Egypt, Mr. Tam Co turn their own lives into the miraculously healthy arms of caring doctors. They replace the hard work of doctors in planting, tending or hunting for precious medicinal plants in places where there is miasma. They replace the doctor in danger to bring back the patients the quintessential medicine that heaven and earth worked hard to mold. During this trip, the group of men looking for medicinal herbs followed the silhouette of a winged tree. Let’s fly. They have no wings but they can fly. As long as the spores are able to settle, life is formed. Looking at each hour trying to lie in the rock, with thick root clusters, containing large tubers overflowing with medicinal resin, people wonder: “How does it live in the drought?”. Drought here, even the ancient trees with large long roots crawling deep in the ground are also bare and bare. At that time, each bunch of people trying to eat on the rocks turned their heads down in the burning sun and kept cherished in small streams of life. The stream of plastic gradually dries up with the water source. Mother’s body has long withered. Before it died, it exerted its last bit of strength to multiply countless spores. The spores hide in the dry body of the mother, lying there or blowing in the wind and then leaning against the cliff to wait. Sunny, then sunny, then more sunny. The germ of life is still waiting quietly. Humans eat plants and then the corpses eventually mix with the soil to grow plants. In plants there are people, in people there are plants. Each bunch of trying to wear a living cliff waits to live like this year after month. Medicinal plants themselves aspire to live, overcome hardships to live, not to flower and bear fruit, and finally to accumulate and store medicines… Living herbs spread somewhere in the mountains, in the middle of the forest, next to the lettuce leaves. Who knows the name of the drug, who knows the use. People just call it trash or worse, a weed. The herb has been smoldering in it so much sun and wind. How many pure minerals of the wind and sky country are received and retained in each herbal body. Yet when it comes to the pharmacy, in the hands of the user, the herbal slices are no longer worth the money. People easily collect hundreds of ladders of medicine, drink it and can’t throw it away. What is wrong with herbs? Every human body is a product of nature. Every drop of herb is every drop of pure nature. For or against it, it is also reversible in nature. No matter how rapidly society develops, it must realize that what nature creates to nurture each other is perfect. Plants that flower and bear fruit feed butterflies, while the caterpillars also cultivate fertilizer for flowers and fruits. Humans eat plants and then the corpses eventually mix with the soil to grow plants. In plants there are people, in people there are plants. The flow of minerals operates like the circulation of water through all life. Herbs, the species that live quietly like flying, like ginseng, such as octopus, sand species …, live not to accumulate essences for fruit but to put all the accumulated minerals year after year for the stems and leaves of tubers. roots. The older, the more concentrated the essence, the more seasoned the drug. Mr. Dien takes care of a medicinal herb garden of about 15 people with more than 20 varieties. The cinnamon tree has been sewn for eight years and is only as tall as a human head. Herbs are a treasure of heaven and earth. But it is precious only to those who belong to it. There was a teacher in the medicine profession who said, “In the fields, people call for herbs. In the hands of a physician, the plant becomes a single element.” But a few doctors can really turn plants into lingzhi. The ominous thing is that we are still plying our trade and praying for good luck and herbs. So drugstores are still rushing to collect drugs, medicinal plants are still being cut down and herbs are still the last place to cling when the disease has reached the final stage. Each herbal treatment becomes a black and red game of chance. We understand so little about herbs. Like the old saying we die on a pile of pills. We understand very little about herbs, so many doctors prescribe them inappropriately, but patients believe that the doctor tries to take them, making the condition worse. We abuse the source of herbs because simply walking out in the summer can fill a pot of medicine with a floating prescription. Both herbs and chemicals need dosages and procedures. Physicians who truly understand their profession and have a real work ethic will monitor the patient’s daily medication use, mastering each of the properties of herbal plants to prescribe and change prescriptions according to the disease’s condition. If not carefully monitored by conscientious physicians, herbs are poisonous. A good physician is a researcher who can understand the properties of herbs, describe the symptoms, listen to the feedback. A good doctor will recognize where the patient’s disorder comes from, and how to get rid of that root. After doing a lot of research to be able to speak clearly, to create confidence in the patient, the doctor gave his prescription fifty percent effective. When the body accepts, a little medicinal properties also make the disease calm down. When the body receives, one can drink cold water and still be healthy, let alone drink the quintessential herbal lines of heaven and earth. Human life lies in the core of the proverb “eat vegetables when hungry, take medicine when sick”. Medicines of the ancients were herbs. We understand too little about herbs to have no faith in herbs. Let’s be our own teachers to accompany the doctor in the path of healing by a benign path from herbs. Don’t let ambiguity push you into the arms of charlatans and don’t let ignorance blame herbs. Herbs are as fresh as the rain and wind of heaven and earth. Herbal equity between rich and poor, good and bad. Herbs are treasures. Let’s open another life because of the old saying. Understand and be at peace with herbs. Articles and photos: Vo Dieu Thanh
