Old Stories of Mulong Village
About This Novel
Nearly a hundred miles below the source of Youshui River is the Xiaohekou, where its tributary Linjia River joins. About 40 kilometers upstream from the Xiaohekou to the northeast is Liaoye, the source of Linjia River. The water in Linjia River is clear and sweet, and the fish are plump. There are towering mountains on both sides, deep canyons, dense forests, and beautiful scenery. Villages are scattered on both sides of the river valley like pearls dropped from the sky, making this area of mountains and valleys filled with smoke and endless vitality. For thousands of years, the Tujia people, the Miao people, and other ethnic groups have lived here, forming a unique local culture. The folk customs here are simple and tough, and countless colorful and ancient stories have been interpreted. The most famous among these villages is Mulong Village. The rice produced by the thousands of acres of terraced fields on the village is of excellent quality, with a natural oil-soaked color. The cooked rice has the aroma of Ruo leaves, and the fragrance will linger on the lips and teeth after eating. It will be unforgettable for a lifetime. It was a must-have tribute to the court in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In order to prevent the ancient stories that happened here from disappearing and being lost in the long river of history, the author has unearthed some wonderful stories and recorded them here through a large number of field visits. Because these ancient legendary stories are told with Mulong Village as the central location, these stories are all included in "Old Stories of Mulong Village".
