Tianlong Tunpu: Exploring the Cultural Heritage of a New Tourist Landmark in Guizhou.

How long is six hundred years? Six hundred years of history are right before your eyes.🕵️‍♀️ This is Tianlong Tunpu in Anshun, a sufficiently niche ancient town. Tianlong Tunpu is an ancient town with a history of over 600 years, located in Pingba District, Anshun City, Guizhou Province. It is home to a unique Han Chinese group, the Tunpu people. Their language, clothing, residential buildings, and entertainment methods all follow the cultural customs of the Ming Dynasty, making them a living fossil of Ming history. 💛 About Tunpu Culture ⏳ Tunpu culture was formed because the Tunpu people stubbornly adhered to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty due to a mission. For six hundred years, nothing has changed here. The women still wear long-sleeved navy blue coats, the houses are still built of stone, and life is still comfortable and leisurely. Tunpu is just that simple and pure! 🌈 Why Tunpu Exists After establishing the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang sent 300,000 troops on an expedition to Yunnan. The troops came from the Han Chinese in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and were commonly known as "Northern Troops Southern Expedition" and "Taizu's Pacification of Yunnan". After conquering the southwest, Tunpu was widely established on the main road from Guizhou to Yunnan to station troops and cultivate land. Anshun, known as "the belly of Guizhou, the throat of Yunnan, and the lips and teeth of Sichuan and Guangdong", also became a major land cultivation area. Today, Tunpu has become one of Anshun's calling cards. 🌟 Highlights and Features: 1️⃣ Hometown of Di Opera Here, you can find Di Opera, a form of theatre even older than the national Peking Opera. Performers wear wooden masks and sing traditional folk theatre. The daily program is posted at the entrance. Although you may not understand it, you can still enjoy the excitement. Each performance lasts about 10 minutes, with a one-hour interval between each. There are many performances throughout the day. 2️⃣ Fengyang Hanfu Every ethnic group has its own clothing, but the Han Chinese do not have a specific clothing to express their ethnicity.
