Camus Canyon Villa in Shi Sheng is a multi-functional large-scale ethnic hotel, which is an accessory facility of Malinghe Canyon Scenic Area. Receive guests to eat and drink during the day and arrange programs at night.
Because it is the off-season of tourism, the hotel seems to be closed and the whole yard is empty. I became the only tourist here.
As night falls, the Miao family in the prosperous age is brightly lit and ready to present a Miao song and dance for tourists.
When night comes, I am the only tourist in the whole villa. I didn't expect a large group of tourists to come here at night. It turns out that there is a tour group specially arranged to watch the performance here. I am just a fool. If there is no tour group here, Canyon Villa will never arrange a performance for me alone, so I am lucky.
Miao people's song and dance performances were seen in Xijiang Miao village in southeastern Guizhou before. The performance there is relatively large, and the flourishing Miao village is small in the place. Tonight's performance can only be regarded as a minority, not as good as my previous song and dance performance in Dehang Miao Village in western Hunan. It can be said that it is the smallest live Miao song and dance performance I have ever seen.
The name of this Miao song and dance performance is "Nine Songs Changle".
This middle-aged man is the pillar of this performance, not only an announcer, but also a singer and an all-round talent.
In the whole performance, his appearance frequency is the highest.
I value not only his talent, but also his national costume.
Drum dance is a traditional dance of Miao nationality, which is popular in Miao areas of Guizhou and Hunan provinces. Its main feature is dancing with or without drums. Miao people's names and activities are different in different places. Today's encouragement is different from what I saw in Dehang Miao Village and Xijiang Miao Village in western Hunan.
The popularity of Miao dance is largely driven by the emotional will of ancestor worship. This is not only a myth and legend, but also a lusheng and wooden drum created by ancestors for dance, and the universal power of dance also comes from the divine will of ancestors. Of course, the inspiration of performing in tourist attractions has been divorced from the significance of primitive religious worship, and its actions have been modernized.
Playing Lusheng is an essential program in Miao song and dance. It is one of the favorite musical instruments of ethnic minorities in Guizhou, especially the Miao people. On holidays, they will hold various colorful Lusheng parties, play Lusheng and dance to celebrate their national festivals.
As a national musical instrument, Lusheng has its unique timbre and rhythm. Watching the Lusheng performance in Miao folk songs and dances is a unique appreciation experience.
Next is the dance program.
After the dance, the girls walked off the stage, sang while walking, and came to the stage to interact with the audience.
I also got the opportunity to shoot these beautiful women at close range.
The female solo in the last program.
The solo girl walked off the stage, and I could shoot up close again.
I am traveling alone now. In order to reduce the burden, I don't have a tripod, so I can't shoot this night scene with a medium telephoto lens. You can only shoot when the subject is very close.
Like the last pillar, I value not only the girl's singing skills, but also the beautiful Miao costumes. Really beautiful!
After the performance, I did something I had never done after the trip. I took a picture with that actor. If I can't find that beautiful girl, I'll take a photo with this "pillar", haha!
After the performance, I walked out of the Miao family in Shi Sheng, and everyone who saw the tour group walked to a bus. It turns out that they don't live here tonight. After the performance, they have to take a bus to arrange accommodation elsewhere.
After returning to the hotel after watching the performance, I was stunned by what I saw. It turns out that the night view of this hotel is also beautiful.
It's worthwhile to stay in this canyon hotel this time!
