Miao

The miao ethnic group has a population of about 7,398,035, mainly scattered in Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and Guangdong provinces, and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Miao ethnic group has its own language which belongs to the Miao Yao Austronesian of Chinese Tibetan Phylum. The Miao people used to have their own character, but now it is lost. Now Chinese is widely used by the Miao people. The Miao people used to believe in many gods and worship their ancestor or dragons. Now some of them believe in the catholic or Christian religion. The Miao's ancestry can be traced back to the “Chiyou” tribe, a tribe in the primitive society in the central plains. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Miao's ancestors began to construct their Kingdom in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Later, they gradually migrated to the southern part of china. Much of the Miao area is hilly or mountainous. Due to a mild climate and sufficient rainfall, major crops here include wheat, paddy rice, maize, potatoes, peanuts, tobacco, sugar cane and cotton. This area is also abundant in herbs. The Miao people are famous for their Lusheng dance. Lushen is the favorite musical instrument of Miao people. In addition, flutes, copper drum, mouth organs, xiao and suona horn are popular with the Miao people.
