Cultural Practices

In the southeastern region of Guizhou, there are numerous ethnic minorities, with the Miao people being predominant. Surrounded by mountains and with limited transportation, this place is considered isolated from the rest of the world in the eyes of most people. It is also shrouded in many mysterious legends, among which Miao medicine plays a legendary role. My mother is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and one of her mentors was a Miao doctor skilled in using herbal remedies deep within the mountains. Under their guidance, I entered another enchanting world akin to an "Arcadia". In this living mountain realm, plants and humans merge as one entity, coexisting harmoniously and perpetuating life endlessly.
