🌿【Marketing Copy: Embark on a Thousand-Year Journey to Basha】
When the morning mist drifts over the grey tiles of the stilt houses, when the gunshots shatter the silence of the mountains – this is Basha Miao Village, the "last gun-wielding tribe" forgotten by time.
🌲The romance here is living in harmony with trees.
A "life tree" is planted at birth, and upon death, the tree serves as a coffin, returning to the forest for burial, with no tombstone, only endless greenery. Century-old fir trees in the village block out the sun, golden glutinous rice hangs on drying racks in the morning mist, and terraced fields layer along the mountains, like God's overturned palette.
🔫The legend here is the gentleness of gun-wielding.
The men wear their hair in a "hukun" bun, with knives at their waists and muskets on their shoulders, yet they use gunshots as a welcoming ceremony and a sickle to shave their hair in a thousand-year-old tradition; the women wear pleated skirts and embroidered scarves, and when the lusheng pipes play, their skirts and folk songs swirl together in the ancient Lusheng Hall.
🏡The everyday life here is a pure, untainted essence.
Stilt houses are built against the mountains, with fir wood frames and grey tile roofs; open the window and you're greeted by clouds, mist, and terraced fields. The freshness of sour soup fish, the crispiness of roasted suckling pig, and the mellow taste of oil tea are all found on the wooden tables of the village's farmhouses.
If you wish to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, come to Basha and be a "descendant of Chiyou" for half a day: witness the magnificent gun-salute welcome, feel the texture of a century-old musket, and listen to elders tell stories of tree spirits under ancient trees – here, there is no excessive commercialization, only the gentle embrace of time.
