The country's rare folk culture of naked bathing

in the mountains of the tang river commune in the three canyons of loud county, there is a strange collective nudity, where villagers, both men and women, take naked baths in the hot springs of the road during the day.

the naked bath of the river began when no one could say it, and so did the ancestors.

the team of tourism planning experts in henan province visited the site with great consternation at the fact that the culture of nudity, which is unique to china, is rare in the country and is the only place in the province that is pure and pure and a true legacy of historical folklore.

as the number of villages interacting with the outside world increases and networks develop, the recognition of the younger generation, especially the girl child, for the nudist folklore, which is facing a situation of “successlessness”.

perhaps, after a few years, this strange folklore will disappear.

there has been an increase in the number of people taking pictures in recent years, but most of them are taking photographs in secret.

on the side of the road not far from the naked bathing pool of the river, the local town hall * also had a poster about the naked bathing of the hot spring of the river, but there was no sign of a ban on taking photographs.

generally, men do not care about taking pictures, and women do.

according to cheng jianjun, vice-president and under-secretary-general of the henan province association of folk artists, “the naked bath in the river spring is a special custom created by the relative closure of farming society and will disappear as the mountain village is opened”.

it is not realistic for modern young people to accept such practices, which arise in a state of closure, if it is not appropriate to interpret them in terms of modern perceptions.

in the past, deep mountains were closed, people were unable to get out, and outsiders were unable to get in, but now traffic is easy, and the forms of interpersonal communication are more diverse and human perceptions have changed.

i'm sorry
