This paper takes the historical and cultural changes of Guisa Village,Zhenyuan County,Guizhou Province as the main content,and uses the knowledge of history,philology,ethnology and other disciplines to study the changes of Miao and Dong families’ migration history,livelihood,marriage and love customs,living places,beliefs and customs in Guisa Village.The purpose is to record the ethnic history and culture of Guizhou Province,and to explore the general logic of regional historical and cultural changes through investigation and research.Guisa Village is located in 26°48 ’25 "north latitude,108°29’ 29" east longitude,belonging to the alpine region,with an average altitude of 860 meters.Located at the junction of Zhenyuan,Jianhe,Shibing three counties,8 kilometers away from the township government,and Zhenyuan County newspaper Jing Township,newspaper friends Township adjacent.There are 5 resident groups and 4 natural villages in the village,namely,Dashai Village,Maogou Village,Basuo Village and Pingjing Village.The residents of Guisa village are mainly Miao and Dong,and the village names include both Chinese,Miao and Dong.Local names such as Dazhai,Maogou Zhai,Baso and Pingjing are named by local residents in combination with terrain features and family names.Through the investigation of local families such as Tang,Li,Ou and Liu,it is found that most of the inhabitants of Guizhou Province moved into Guizhou from Jiangxi,and it is believed that natural disasters and conflicts between local ethnic minorities and the central government are the main reasons for these families to move into Guizhou.Rice farming economy used to be the carrier of the main livelihood function of Guiza village,but its economic dominant position declined due to the decrease of population and cattle,the difficulty of water diversion and the renewal of rice farming tools,which gradually developed the livelihood of Guiza village into an economic complex of rice farming economy,dry land crop planting economy,fishing and hunting economy and working economy.Through the investigation of marriage customs in Guiza area,it is found that in the history of Miao ethnic group and Dong ethnic group,"cousin-uncle marriage" dominates the marriage selection in a certain period of time.The most important stage of the change of marriage and love customs in Guiza village is the development process of the traditional "uncle and uncle marriage" to free love marriage.Taking the change from "uncle and uncle exhibit marriage" to free love marriage in Guiza area as the main line,this paper expounds the historical development of "uncle and uncle exhibit marriage" of Miao and Dong people and the family interaction built by it as a bond,and believes that the emergence of resistance force represented by "stealing relatives" and the marriage freedom promoted by social forces are the main reasons for the change.In addition,it expounds the changes of the wedding customs in your hotel,such as the decline of property transfer function,the decline of love customs such as "shaking Malang" and "gathering onion basket",the expansion of marriage circle,the simplification and diversification of marriage forms,the increase of marital instability,the rise of divorce rate and other changes.Guisa Village has a high forest vegetation coverage rate,rich wood resources and low processing cost.In addition,Guisa residents are mainly Miao and Dong ethnic groups,so the overall housing complex is common among Miao and Dong ethnic groups.From stilted buildings to flat buildings,the diversification of roof styles and the new repair of public buildings reflect the changes of architectural styles in your hotel.The movement of living space,the changes in the number and layout of houses,the transfer of "beauty by" and the function of wide corridors,and the rise of courtyard DAMS reflect the changes in local living space.People in Guizhou Province generally believe in ancestors,worship shrines and offer sacrifices to small earth temples,which become indispensable sacrificial activities in major festivals.In addition,guideposts and "lazy stools" are erected at forks in the road,which local people believe can accumulate merit and protect children’s healthy growth.In some customs such as dress,ridge schema and dragon drawing,we also found belief culture such as cow worship and dragon worship,accompanied by local legends and taboos passed down from generation to generation.These different elements together construct the local belief system.The local custom of drawing dragons and offering sacrifices to Bridges reflects the phenomenon of cultural integration in the local belief system.It is believed that the local belief and custom in Guiza are humanistic beliefs produced by the collision between the mainstream values of society influenced by Confucianism,Buddhism and Taoism in the communication between Han and Miao ethnic groups.It is the combination of the inflow of the general moral laws in the Han ethnic group area and the traditional customs in Guizhou area,under the influence of the traditional barbaric and uncivilized behavior of social customs.
