Dreams of Three Kingdoms

Nestled in the rugged mountains, the Qiang Village is a bastion of independence and tradition, thriving amidst the chaos of the Three Kingdoms period. The villagers engage in agriculture, animal husbandry, and hunting, all while honoring their deep-rooted spiritual beliefs in nature and ancestors. Fortified against potential threats, the community is tightly knit, emphasizing collective defense and cooperation. Cultural expressions through music, dance, and storytelling are vital, alongside skilled handicrafts like weaving and pottery. While isolated, the village maintains trade with neighboring regions, cautiously interacting with outsiders, including soldiers from the warring states. The shamanistic traditions are strong, with a profound respect for the spirits of nature that guide their daily lives.

The village is characterized by its wooden structures, fortified walls, and watchtowers, surrounded by terraced fields and grazing lands for sheep and goats. Colorful banners and intricate carvings adorn the buildings, reflecting the artistic heritage of the Qiang people.
