Gejia Village, Matang

Gejia is a unique minority, they claim to be the posterity of the posterior. In addition to clothing, Matang is most attractive, with bright colors and exquisite patterns of wax dyes, from the body dress, straps, waistbands to the curtains, quilts, tablecloths all decorated with wax.

After seeing several different Miao Villages in southeast Fujian, I wanted to go to some different places, so on the morning of the last day of the trip, I set off from Kaili to Matang. Gezhai's Ge is actually next to a single person, but the word is not in the Chinese dictionary. The people of Gezhai are said to be a branch of the Miao people, and their history is also very long. The people of Gezhai are proficient in batik technology, so there is a display point for batik crafts not far from the entrance of the stockade. The style of the residential houses in Gezhai is completely different from the hanging foot building in Miao Village. It is a simple wooden tile house on the first to second floors. Many newly built houses will be repaired with a step tens of centimeters high. They are built on the mountain, and some are up along the mountain. The patchwork is dotted on the farmland in the mountains. The costumes of the Gezhai people are very ordinary for men, and the women are very complicated, especially their headwear and waistbands. It is said that the decorations on the head are the symbols of the "post-glaze day" and "arrow and day", which represents the descendants of the Ge family. In the Gezhai swayed for more than an hour, just want to leave, the people in the stockade told me that because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, there will be a bullfighting competition here in the afternoon, and then the villages in all directions will bring bullfighting to participate in the competition, so of course I will stay. Sure enough, after noon, the people in the stockade arranged the venue in a field that had been harvested, and there were also surrounding villages with bullfighting. When people sprayed the names of the stockades represented on the cattle, the original quiet stockade suddenly became loud and loud. A fierce bullfighting game began. The bullfights participating in the competition are gray-black buffaloes, which have been trained for many years. When the two cattle are pulled to the center of the venue, they do not need any instructions or command language and action. As soon as the horns caught are released, the two cattle can't wait to rush to the other party. The loud noises that came from the horns struck me, so I looked at the costumes of the women who came to watch the bullfights as I looked at the style of the bullfights.

Gejia is a relatively unique minority, they claim to be the posterity of the hindsight, in addition to clothing, Matang is the most attractive, is a wax dye with bright colors and exquisite patterns, from the body's skirt, belt, waist to the curtains, quilt, All the tablecloths are decorated with wax.

麻塘这个景点不错，那天去的时候刚好遇到何洁，然后看到他们在拍节目，太激动了，后来又在电视上看到了

从环城北路西门街附近的苗都客运站坐到龙场或鱼洞的中巴，上车买票5元，请买票大妈千万记得到麻塘路口喊一下，下车后沿一条小路走20分钟到革家寨。我们去时下雨，一路几乎无人。进寨后转到芦笙场，看了一些建筑，遇到一老太，让我太太与她合影。然后下来时遇到几家农家乐，要推销蜡染布。我们到村口凯里革家文化研究会办公室，无人门大开，看到一些照片介绍革家服饰歌舞。就出来到下车处路对面拦过路车回凯里。
