CHINA-YUNNAN-JINPING-REVISIT TO KUCONG PEOPLE'S PRIMITIVE LIFE (CN)

(230726) -- JINPING, July 26, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on July 23, 2023 shows a view of Shangnami Village in Zhemi Township, Jinping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province. After days of thinking, Zhang Puzhong decided to do something instructive to his grandchildren: bring them back to the forest he used to live as a child more than 60 years ago. "This is very important. I know how happy I am today because I never forget how bitter my life was in the past," Zhang said. Zhang is a 70-year-old Kucong resident in Xiaxinzhai Village, Zhemi Township of Jinping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province. Kucong ethnic people means "people living on the mountains," an offshoot of the Lahu ethnic group. Yunnan now boasts 30,000 Kucong people, mainly living in the Ailao Mountain area in Zhenyuan and Jinping counties. Kucong people used to live a primitive life in mountainous regions.

Among the well preserved traditions and costumes of the local Zhuang ethnic minority group, the local housing facility, Ganlan building, a stilt wood-structured residential architecture, is most distinctive. Supported by wooden columns, the buildings are usually built in three stories with slope roofs. The ground floor is mainly served as livestock sheds, while the second floor and above are for family living and grain storage respectively.
