old Miao Ethnic village. The villagers still practice
their unique traditions dating to Qing Dynasty(
about 2200 years ago.
Basha village is very little touched
by violent modernization. Residents there still
live a their wooden houses, practise centuries-long
custom and have their own unique belief.
On important occasions or some traditional
festivals, villages usually burn incense under
big ancient tress to pray for heath, happiness.
Basha people have developped a special feeling
with ancient trees, which have been protected
as carriers of ancestor's spirits fro generations.
Basha is a place where ancient culture
is most completely protected, and this group is
quite different from other Miao groups in terms
of clothing and daily life.
Basha people dress like ancient warriors,
wearing guns and knives everyday. They made their
unique clothes themselves in the village. Their
hair is mostly shaved except in the middle, where
it is twisted and knotted.
Basha is a relative big village with
2.140 residents but rarely do them connect with
the outside world. They live in their community
and lead a self-sufficient life in the mountainous
areas.
