The Heavenly Gift of God Shiqi Qiang Zhai

The summer sun is scorching the earth, we are hungry, we want to quickly find a place to rest. Beichuan friends said, we immediately go to the old county near the stone chair Qiangzhai, where the mountains are high and dense, the air is fresh, the mountains are loquat, Qiang culture is profound, but also a good place to cool off.

With the mountain road, the elevation is getting higher and higher, the car window is hazy, cliffs everywhere.

I was looking out the window, and suddenly the road turned, the car turned into another place, a very delicate Qiangzhai Square appeared in front. Above the lintel is written "stone chair Qiangzhai", on both sides of the door there is a couplet "God gave the stone chair Qiangzhai, God made the fire pot fairy mountain".

There are really a lot of loquat trees in the village, it is the season of loquat ripening, a piece of loquat is as golden as possible. Walking into the village, Qiang style buildings abound, brick structure is the main, but also a lot of use of a variety of logs, the color is neat and tidy. Although there are not as many towers here as in Taoping Qiangzhai that have been handed down from ancient times, the young men and women are busy in traditional Qiang costumes, which still makes people feel very friendly. The legendary Qiang master, Mother Guangyuan, was also there on this day. She is the chief planner of the Qiang cultural traditions in Shiqiu Village and has served as the master of ceremonies for many activities, and even the dancing and singing of the girls here was taught by her. Despite the heat, he is still wearing all the lines of a Qiang man, with lots of delicate Qiang embroidery on his shirt and pants.

There is a naturally occurring stone chair in the village, which has roughly the outline of a Chinese chair. It is said that after lovers or couples sit on the stone chair, their love will be sweet and their marriage will be happy for a long time. Therefore, many Qiang weddings in the village, there is a link is the new couple *** sit on the stone chair, so that the stone chair to witness love. Stone chair village people Qiang majority, "stone chair Qiangzhai" is also named.

Lunch is completely Qiang flavor, we drank the sweet honey wine, eat those alpine vegetables, listening to the Qiang girls original toast, feel the days of the stone chair Qiang village is really nourishing and tasty, really worthy of the "heavenly gift of God made" a good place!
