Rangchuan Village was originally an inconspicuous mountain village in Xikeng She Nationality Town, Wencheng County. It only takes five minutes to walk from the entrance to the village. Because a newly built provincial road led to the village entrance seven years ago, it is connected with the surrounding tourist attractions such as "Tongling Mountain, Longqiyuan, and Anfu Temple", providing the villagers of She Township with a great opportunity to develop the tourism economy. .
Nowadays, I heard that Rangchuan Village has built Yueman Xiaoyuan, Xiangzhang Xiaoyuan, Hongfeng Xiaoyuan, Cuizhu Xiaoyuan, Shejia Xiaoyuan, Bamboo Fence Zhangying, Shanshui Renjia, Tejia Xiaoyuan. Nonghui and many other special B&Bs. In particular, "Xiangzhang Xiaoyuan" offers a unique table banquet for Shexiang parents, which allows you to fully experience the food customs and specialties of Shexiang, attracting tourists in droves every day.
At 8:30 in the morning, a class of teachers from Aojiang Tongshi Kindergarten and some parents set off from the entrance of Tongshi Kindergarten and took a bus to Rangchuan, a village with rich She ethnic culture. I saw that the entire village was built on the mountain, backed by thousand-year-old camphor trees, adjacent to the red maple forest, and has a rich pastoral style.
After a group of us got off the bus at the entrance of the village, we saw the words "Fall in Love with Rangchuan" and "Rangchuan Village Scenic Area" written on a yellow wall at the entrance of the village, as well as red seals under the falling words. "She Nationality" fully demonstrates the unique She nationality culture of She Township. A group of teachers and several parents wearing white kindergarten uniforms were already taking photos at the pavilion at the entrance of the village and the creek.
Afterwards, everyone walked briskly, facing the blue sky and white clouds, letting their mood go. They saw creeks, waterwheels, moss, wooden houses, stone walls, and bluestone roads along the way. The rich rural atmosphere hits your face.
"The distant village is warm, the smoke is in the ruins, the dogs are barking in the deep alleys, and the cocks are crowing on the tops of the mulberry trees." A poem by the poet Tao Yuanming well describes the current scene of Rangchuan Village. I saw bamboos planted on both sides of the village's landscape roads and stacks of yellow walls hung with red lanterns. There were also the Ye's Ancestral Hall and the Jiexiao Archway, which were built during the Qianlong period, as well as the original old doorsteps and "Tenonghui". B&Bs and other attractions make people dizzy and forget to leave.
After a while, I saw a small wooden building surrounded by woods, with a "Red Maple Courtyard" in the shape of maple leaves. Climbing up the small steps, you will see several small leisure seats on the platform, and holding a big umbrella, you can relax without having to worry about being exposed to the sun or rain. There are also extremely eye-catching red lanterns with the word "She" that can be seen everywhere, full of the authentic flavor of She Township with a bit of Western romance, simplicity with a bit of petty bourgeoisie, but not the slightest sense of luxury. All these furnishings , decoration, showing the ultimate intention of the owner.
All the scholars in the world gathered together,
Let’s get straight to the point.
In the painting, the fairyland is full of happiness,
There are proud bronze bells rising from the four peaks.
The She family’s table banquet is a traditional Sichuan cuisine, allowing guests from all over the world to experience the She culture while enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food at the She family. A long table banquet is a very long table, with four people sitting in a round basket as one unit, and then they sit down in this order. A long table can have 30 units, and a total of 120 people can dine.
The She Family Banquet is a special food feast for tourists to "eat in Rangchuan", including Shejia black rice, glutinous rice glutinous rice cake, braised creek fish and other dishes. Bowls and plates of dishes are arranged in a long arrangement, and four people sit around a round basket. The word "she" is integrated into the bowls, tableware, dishes and performances, and a full "she" is presented to the guests who come from afar. Home blessing.
A male singer of the She ethnic group started the cultural feast of the long table banquet by playing cucurbit flute. Through his enthusiastic and humorous hosting style and in-depth fun games, the atmosphere of the long table banquet at noon reached a climax. A female teacher who was traveling with us could not help but go on stage to sing a famous song by Song Zuying, "Gu Zhang Tea Song". The beautiful singing voice moved all the tourists present, and also moved the male singer of the She ethnic group. At the suggestion of the male singer , this female teacher sang "Good Days", another famous song by Song Zuying, on the same stage with a male singer from the She ethnic group. Her singing was very beautiful and attracted bursts of applause from the audience. Finally, the long table banquet at noon ended with their singing.
Although I was in a bit of a hurry in Rangchuan, I finally got to know this beautiful mountain village of the She people. I hope to visit again next time. . .
