Nu

The Nu ethnic group has a population of 27,123 and most of them live in Bijiang, Fugong and Gongshan counties in Yunnan province.

The spoken language of the Nu people belongs to the Tibetan Burmese group of the Chinese Tibetan language family. These dialects differ from each other so greatly that people from different dialect areas cannot even communicate. Without their own written script, most of the Nu people use Chinese.

The Nu people believe in a primitive religion and worship nature. Some also believe in Christianity and Lamaism.

The Nu is an ancient tribe that originally lived on the banks of the Nu and Lancang Rivers. They have two different sources. Historical records show that they are the descendants of both the Luluman people who inhabited the area during the Yuan Dynasty and people who resided in the Gongshan area during ancient times. These two tribes intermingled and intermarried, finally giving birth to a new group Nu.

The Nu people maily engage in agriculture, but also hunt and gather wild plants. Their main crops include corn, buchwheat, barley, potatoes and beans.
