The Peach Blossom Garden is connected to Wujiangxi and Wuling, which is said to be the refuge of the ancient Qin people who fled from years of war and harsh military service. They worked and fed themselves in this isolated place, reproduced their children and grandchildren, and uniquely created a side of feng shui. To this day, the folkways and customs of this place are still displaying her past sentiments as a heavenly paradise.

The Peach Blossom Garden has the Qinren Cave, and there is a village named Sanhe Village in the Qinren Cave. There are dozens of families in Sanhe Village, and most of them are surnamed Qin, which is why the village is also called Qinren Village. Are these villagers surnamed Qin descended from the ancient Qin people who went into the cave to escape the chaos? No one to do a specific test, anyway, a "Qin" word through the past and present, their clothing, food, housing and transportation customs with today's modern social customs have many different.

Clothing: In the past, people's clothing here was all home woven cloth. Each family had spinning wheels and looms, produced their own cotton, spun and wove their own cloth, and then dyed the cloth with vegetable dyes in green or blue or gray or purple colors. Clothes are mostly home-made, with the dyed cloth cut into pieces and then hand-stitched together. There are also tailors who come to the house to make clothes, an ash bag, a few needles, a few threads, a pair of iron irons shaped like today's small aluminum pots are all their tools. The style of the clothes is male for the lapel coat. Women for large pieces of clothing, a color of cloth button loop, pants all for the big crotch pants, 4 feet big waist, in front of the belly a copy of a fold, and then tied with a cloth belt. Nowadays, the young people in the village clothing style and cave people almost no different, but many older people are still wearing a lapel coat, a large piece of clothing, folded crotch pants. However, the fabrics for their clothes are no longer spun and woven by the local people, but are picked up from the market. If you go to the village, you can still find wooden spinning wheels and looms. Although they are no longer in use, they are a symbol of history. Even today, when sewing machines are commonly used, there are still local tailors in the village who carry fire irons and gray bags.

Food: The staple food is rice, of course, which is almost the same as that of the villagers outside the cave. The "food" here refers to the tools used to process the rice. In the past, the villagers in the village used to process rice with the tools of saucer, pestle and windmill. The dish was round and had two upper and lower fans. The lower fan is fixed on a wooden frame with a hardwood shaft in the center, and the upper fan rotates around the shaft on the lower fan. Upper and lower fan friction surface regularly embedded with many hardwood slices as teeth, teeth between the cracks with loess tamped tightly to fix the teeth. The role of the dish is to remove the shells of coarse shells. When the dish is processed, the rice husk is piled up in the upper fan to hold the husk in the hopper, and the upper fan is pushed to rotate by human power, and the rice husk is rubbed by the wooden teeth, and the brown rice with coarse husk is sprinkled from the gap between the upper and lower stonewall surfaces. The brown rice was then processed in the stone pestle to become cooked rice. Nowadays, most of the rice consumed by the villagers is processed by machines, but there are still workshops in the village that process rice for the villagers in the old way. Indeed, some villagers used to process rice in their original workshops with stone piles and stone stacks, which they (especially the elderly) believed to be more flavorful and softer than machine-processed rice.

House: the former villagers' houses are all clear color bamboo thatched houses. Thatched cottages built along the mountain, each independent, indeed, "two dogs and chickens hear each other". House memory is simple, slate wood block is a stool, planks together for the bed, gourd (commonly known as lugubrious) cut open into a scoop, the brick base that stove. Nowadays, thatched huts are replaced by wooden huts. Wooden houses and all the small green tiles, whitewashed walls, still has the ancient style. Although there are TV sets and refrigerators in every house, the dissected gourd dipper is still the same.

Line: Qinren village is close to the national highway, but the village is not highway, in the field is intertwined with the road traffic in the field on the road is not to say that better than the cement road, asphalt road, but does have its advantages. It is permeated with the green flavor of grass and dirt dirt moisture, barefoot on it to make people feel warm and comfortable, and more people feel the earth's pulse beating.
