Their ancestors had lived in the wide areas of the lower reaches of Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River in earlier times. With the special situation of survival, the people of Miao moved to the south which has a relative wicker condition for survival after undergoing migration for five times. The survival plight of Miao history promotes the loving knot of returning home. Actually, this loving knot is an aesthetic philosophizing behind living. Although it is spontaneous collective unconscious, it gives us profound inspiration through historical barriers. It has multi-content: the displacement of home, the spirit of "returning home", the returning and highlighting of life. At the same time, this knot is ecological aesthetic style; it highlights the logic content with recognizing the relationship of ecological aesthetic between people and nature, people-to-people, with the question of the self survival, with the ideal of yearning for poetic hometown.
