Langde Miao Village

| Langde Shangzhai • Listen to the Bamboo Sheng of a 90-Year-Old Man. Stepping into the embrace of Langde Miao Village, I had the fortune to listen to the melodious sound of the bamboo sheng played by a 92-year-old elder 🎵. Among the many Miao villages, Xijiang is famous for its strong commercial atmosphere, so I deliberately ended my trip to southeastern Guizhou in Langde Miao Village in Leishan County, which seems like a piece of pure land in the noisy world. Although it was summer, with the warm August sun generously bestowing 30 degrees of warmth, this heat did not dispel the tranquility and remoteness of Langde Miao Village. Even on weekends, the footsteps of tourists were not as dense. Apart from the laughter of a tour group, there were more travelers like me, wandering alone in this quaint village. By noon, the entire Miao Village seemed to be awakened by an invisible force. Villagers, dressed in festive costumes, gathered at the village gate and square, unfolding a celebration that lasted about an hour. With songs and dances, the sound of the sheng, and the fragrance of wine, Langde Miao Village showcased its most vivid and enthusiastic side at that moment. However, as the curtain of the celebration slowly fell, everything returned to tranquility. Villagers either embroidered delicately indoors or chatted leisurely under the shade of trees. This desirable leisure and freedom naturally flowed in Langde Miao Village every day. In 2008, the footprints of the Olympic flame left a warm mark on this land, making Langde Miao Village a place of unique honor. The stilted buildings, wind and rain bridges, and the simple folk customs passed down through generations together constructed the glorious chapter of this "Chinese Traditional Village."
