People of Xijang Miao Village
A collection of photos of the people living in Xijang Miao Village. You will note, as with other villages visited, most of the young children are under the care of their grandparents, as many of the parents work outside of the village as part of China's migrant work force, many visiting their family only once a year during the Chinese New Year holiday.
Senior Miao women wear their long dark hair coiled up in neat buns on the top of their heads while the younger Miao women prefer to adorn them with large colorful plastic or bone combs and pretty flowers. Each woman has her traditional clothing, head dress and other jewelery which is worn at special festivals throughout the year.
Child Nutrition in China
Although China has made vast strides in eradicating poverty and hunger, some 120 million Chinese people are undernourished. In rural areas, one in ten children is underweight, half are vitamin A-deficient and up to 80 % are anemic. The MDG-Fund targeted 1.2 million children and women in six of China's poorest counties, focusing on increasing breastfeeding, safer and more nutritious complementary foods, school-based interventions and iron supplementation for women of reproductive age.

Armed and Dangerous, Biasha Miao Village in Congjiang County
Lying on the southern border Guizhou, Basha village is famed for being China 's last tribe of gunmen. This primitive Miao village is hidden away in a forest and filled with stilted wooden houses by the river. Basha village, in the southeast corner of Guizhou in Congijiang County is home to over 1,000 residents living in more than 400 households. Their ancestors were frontline troops who charged through forests and fought the bears there -- all to guard the land where they lived. Through hundreds of years, they have been guarding their homeland. Still today the men in Basha preserve their musketeer heritage, which makes Basha the only tribe that can legally carry real guns in China. A strong sense of precaution inherited from their ancestors keeps this village isolated from the outside world. The villagers lead a self-sufficient life in the hilly areas and retain the dressing and living customs hundreds of years ago.
The villagers in Basha worship trees, especially maples, as gods. They believe the buns on their heads represent trees, while the purple clothes they wear represent bark. (The color is a special bluish purple. Biasha people usually add egg whites into the indigo when dying the coarse cloth, making it shiny and waterproof.) In Basha, a tree is planted whenever a baby is born. Often it will be cut down to make the coffin when the person eventually dies. Cutting down ancient trees is forbidden in the village.
Basha men are also famous for their unique hairstyles. Like the men in the Qing dynasty, Basha men wear their long hair in braids. They attach great importance to their hair bun, which they believe is a symbol of masculinity, as well as an emblem of power. This is a hairstyle that 's existed for thousands of years.
Young boys have to take part in a shaving ceremony between the ages of seven and fifteen. The tribe leader wets a sickle with the water used to boil eggs, and shaves off all of the boy's hair except for the central part, which is coiled into a bun. The blade caresses the scalp, and patches of hair fall to the ground. This shave is done without any shaving cream, or even a rinse. Boys get their first haircuts as a rite of passage, and then are given a hunting rifle at the age of 15 as a sign that they've become adults.
This Biasha Miao is quite different from other Miao groups in terms of clothing and daily life. Biasha people belong to the Miao branch that is least affected by modern civilization. Even in the modern times, they still lead very traditional lives.
The local villagers' ethnic costumes are made and dyed (mostly in deep blue biotic dyes, egg white and pig's blood) by themselves in the traditional way, with almost the same design pattern, usually diamonds and lines, and most have an eggplant color. Some Biasha people do not wear shoes, even in winter.
Men are often seen carrying a claymore (type of sword) in the waist and a hunting rifle over the shoulder, which remains a common ornament, though there are no longer many animals and birds to hunt.
GUIZHOU Langde Zhen Miao Village, Leishan. SpragnionyChin odc.9
GUIZHOU 貴州 Jidaocun (季刀村 & 郎德镇) Langde Zhen Miao Nationality Village, Leishan.
Mała wioska Jidao (季刀村), oddalona jest od Kaili o 30km.
Zamieszkuje ją ludność mniejszości etnicznej Miao. Ludnośc Miao, jest jedną z najbardziej fascynujących,
z pośród 55 grup etnicznych zamieszkujących Chiny. Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje drewniana architektura
#Guizhou #Miao #Leishan #Qiandongnan #ThirstyForChina
w stylu Diaojiao, która ściśle harmonizuje z górską naturą. Ze względu na podmokłe strome tereny, do budowy domów używa się odpornej na wilgoć jodły. Stosuje się tu konstrukcję słupowo-nadprożną zwaną Chuandou, gdzie ciosane kołki zaczepiają się o belki bez użycia gwoździ. Wizerunek motyla jest szczególnie ważny w kulturze Miao. Według opowieści ludowej motyl był przodkiem wszystkiego na ziemi, w tym bogiń, duchów, istot ludzkich, zwierząt, roślin, a także grzmotów i błyskawic, ponadto Miaosi uważają go za Matkę Rodu.Na styku wioski Jidao i Langde nad rzeką Bala rozciaga się drewniano-stalowy most, którego bramy wejściowe stylizowane są na instrumenty Lusheng,
stanowiące kwintesencję kultury i muzyki mniejszości Miao.
W Langde, mężczyźni trudnią się głównie rolnictwem,
kobiety natomiast zajmują się rękodziełem i gospodarstwem.
Drewniane domy, drewniane koła wodne...
ryżowe tarasy, bujnie zielone góry i rzeki o turkusowym kolorze, tworzą przepełniony pięknem idyllizm prowincji Guizhou.

Kunming, Yunnan Minority Village - China Travel Channel
The Yunnan Minority Village (云南民族村 Yunnan Minzu Cun) is on the northeastern shore of the Dian Lake in Kunming. 21 national minority groups live in Yunnan. In order to make the customs, traditions and living habits of these minorities accessible to a wider segment of the population, the Yunnan Nationalities Village was built. Here, members of minority groups can present their way of life. A wide variety of customs and traditions are explained.
For instance, it was the custom among the Wa people that following a good harvest, it was requested that the head of a man with a long beard be placed at the village entrance. Today a buffalo head is used instead.
Among the Bai peoples, houses were built facing east, whereas in the rest of China the custom was to build houses facing south. Village squares were often built as a symbolic calendar.
In the Yunnan Minority Village, many folk dances and song presentations are offered. For the Yi nationality, the tiger is sacred. This can be seen on hat coverings or the Yi’s main village square.

Das Yunnan Nationalitätendorf liegt am Nordostufer des Dian-Sees in Kunming. Am Eingang werden die Besucher mit traditionellen Tänzen begrüßt. In der Provinz Yunnan leben einundzwanzig nationale Minderheiten. Um die Sitten, Bräuche und Lebensgewohnheiten dieser Minderheiten einer breiteren Bevölkerungsschicht zugänglich zu machen, hat man ein “Nationalitätendorf” gebaut. Angehörige der diversen Minderheiten präsentieren das ursprüngliche Leben. Unterschiedlichste Sitten und Gebräuche werden erläutert.
So war es bei den Wa Brauch, zur Erbittung einer guten Ernte, den Kopf eines Mannes mit langem Bart am Dorfeingang abzulegen. Heute erfüllt ein Büffelkopf diese Aufgabe.
Die Bai bauen ihre Häuser mit dem Eingang nach Osten, während es in China Brauch war die Häuser nach Süden auszurichten. Dorfplätze wurden oft als symbolischer Kalender gebaut.
Dorfbewohner bieten des Öfteren Volkstänze und Gesänge dar. Für die Yi-Nationalität ist der Tiger heilig, was an Hutbedeckungen oder am Hauptplatz der Yi erkenntlich ist.
