The Zhanli village in Guizhou only increased by 10 people in 1948. This ancient village never intermarried with outsiders.

There is a very good old saying: If you want to get rich, you need to build roads first. For a place, if it wants to develop, most important thing is to repair roads, because traffic conditions directly determine whether a place can develop and to what extent.

Only when roads are repaired and transport is convenient, we can get out of mountains and our products will go all over country and world. On our southwestern border there is a province where terrain is very difficult, although scenery is very beautiful,

But road leading here is very winding. In past, people had to climb many mountains and cross wide rivers to get to this place. And time spent on road is very long. However, in our modern society, people have built many roads in this place.

This not only reduced amount of time we spend on road, but also brought our product out of mountains. Although many roads have been built here, there are still places where construction is not so perfect. There is a small village called Zhanli in mountains of Guizhou Province.

People living in Zhanli village still adhere to their custom of not marrying either a man or a woman.

A group of Dong people live in this small village in mountains. When you arrive at this place, you will feel strong ethnic customs. Standing here on ground, you can see Houses of wood everywhere, and these houses are still very well preserved, they don’t have breath of modern life in them at all, because such buildings have attracted a lot of people.

Initially, place was known not because of development of tourism industry, but for fact that number of inhabitants here increased by only ten people in fifty years. Under normal circumstances, population growth in a village in fifty years should be very large.

Even if growth rate is very slow, it is impossible to add only ten people in forty-eight years. Actually, there is a reason for this situation, because this place has a very strange concept of marriage, and after people get married here, there is a limited number of children to raise strong > strong >.

People who come here will be curious about local idea of ​​marriage because people here advocate late marriages and late childbearing so young men and women in this place usually prefer to be between ages of 20 to 20 years old. at age of three they end their bachelor life and enter wedding palace.

ButAfter marriage, young women still have to stay in their homes for a few years, and they can live with their husbands when they turn 27 or 8 and run their own businesses. small house together.

And they can't marry women outside village, or marry men outside village. It is said that this is done to better protect secrets of ancestors. And if people in this place want to deal with their life events, can only do so at agreed time.

And stipulated time is only two days, all those who want to partner with their sweetheart can only complete their ceremony within these two days, Once time is exceeded, ceremony will not allowed.

This place also advocates for people to have fewer children. If you want to raise children, you can raise no more than two children. If first child is a boy, second child can only be a girl , In general, before giving birth, sex of child is changed in a special way.

Though I don't know if this method is reliable. It is said that a couple from Taiwan came to this place to ask for medicine, but no one wanted to give them medicine after staying here for a long time.

In addition, people living here have equal status, Boys and girls have same inheritance rights, they will be taken by married women. a man, and both men and women, could inherit their parents' property after their death.
