WaThe Wa people number around 351,974 and live mainly in compact communities in the Ximeng, Cangyuan, Menglian counties in southwestern Yunnan Province. The Wa people have a unique spoken language, which belongs to the Austroasiatic family. They previously had no written language, but an alphabetic script was created for the Wa people in 1957. Prior to then, the Wa people kept records and accounts or passed messages to each other by using material objects or by engraving bamboo strips. The Wa people call themselves "Wa", "Ba Rao", etc. According to historical records, the Wa people are the descendants of the "Baipu" people who lived before the Qin period (221 BC- 26 BC). During the Qing Dynasty they were called "Ha Wa", "Ka Wa", etc and with the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), they were formally named the "Wa" by the government after unanimous approval from the people. In the past, the Wa people worshipped nature, believing that all mountains, rivers and other natural phenomena had their deities. Now, some Wa people have become followers of Christianity and Buddhism. Situated between the Lancang and Nu rivers, surrounded by undulating mountain ridges and some 2,000 meters above sea level, the area inhabited by the Wa people is blessed with a mild climate, abundant rainfall and fertile land. This contributes to the growth of plants such as dry rice, paddy, millet, corn, buckwheat, potato, cotton, hemp, sugarcane, etc. The Wa people also cultivate pineapples, bananas, mangoes, pawpaw and other sub-tropic fruit. |
