Youyang county travel
Youshuihe National Wetland Park is a national AAA-level tourist attraction and national wetland park. Youshui River, located in the east of Youyang County, originated in Xuanen County, Hubei Province. It flows from Daxi, Youchou and Houxi towns in Youyang to Yuanjiang River through Xiushan County in Chongqing, and then flows into Dongting Lake. Youyang has a total length of 81 kilometers and an average width of about 12.5 meters. Along the coast are the settlements of Tujia people and the cradle of Tujia people.
The picturesque Youshui River has the reputation of Small Guilin in the southeast of Chongqing. The Bijia Mountain is forested with silver beach, and the Sanwu Mountain flows down the Qingjiang River. The high monument is drunk with the sunset, and the jade belt is full of joy in the mountains. The riverside is full of bright spring flowers, green in summer, rosy in Qiu Feng, crystal clear in winter snow, accompanied by the noise of tits and the blowing of cicadas, which is really pleasant. Rows of quaint and vigorous Pterocarya stenoptera, rows of phosphorus hanging stilts, melodious and sultry muye love songs, and bluestone roads leading to historical tunnels are echoing Tujia people's endless charm, which makes people linger.
You Shuihe, with all kinds of amorous feelings, is just like a Tujia girl who came from ancient times. The mountains endow her with purity and the water endows her with beauty. The long-standing national culture, simple and elegant wave hall, melodious folk songs, folk songs, muye love songs, ancient Yang opera, Nuo opera, colorful national festivals, strange and mysterious national customs and unique folk food culture all exude unique national flavor.
According to textual research, Tujia people are a branch of Ba people. When the Chu people destroyed Ba people, the tragic and bold Tujia ancestors migrated long distances from Shunyou River in Hubei Province. Seeing that this section of the river valley is wide, the fish are swimming, the ancient trees on both sides of the river are towering, and the wild animals are swarming, they stopped and settled here, making a living by fishing, selling salt and hunting. They learned farming together with the local Gelao nationality, Miao nationality and other brothers, and thrived on both sides of the Youshui River. It is these hardworking, brave, simple and simple Tujia people who created a unique Tujia culture.
The clear Youshui River has nurtured and nourished the Tujia people. The ancient town of Houxi, on the banks of Youshui River, has preserved the Handwaving Hall with a history of hundreds of years. Whenever Tujia traditional festivals and village weddings, funerals, sacrifices and other major events, Tujia people will light a bonfire outside the Handwaving Hall, sing all night and dance with their hands to show the scenes of Tujia ancestors' work, life, hunting and fighting. The four corners of the lantern, the clown and the Dan corner, were performed, singing with joy and dancing with filial piety. Cross-dressing roles, lanterns disguised as women, Yang opera and Nuo opera that embody Tujia totem and belief; It vividly embodies the folk characteristics of Tujia people crying for happy events and laughing for funerals. There are Tujia traditional folk songs, tunes, songs, and muye love songs, which are natural and bold. Every song records a beautiful legend and tells a touching story. On both sides of the Youshui River, Tujia people drink big bowls of wine, eat large pieces of meat, taste fragrant camellia soup, cook oily Baba and grind white and tender rice tofu, which has a unique fragrant and attractive food culture.
Youshui River is the mother river of Tujia nationality. It is the beautiful natural scenery that breeds the unique national culture. Here, you can touch the traces of history and listen to the ancient sounds of nature.
