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. ......... please read more:
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. ..........

Study Abroad Looking For Funds For Greece & Italy Class Trip
Hello Recently I was invited by my school for a chance to go on a trip to learn about Greece and Italy. I am a new student at this school and they have been fundraising for 2 years already. Meanwhile I've only got 4 months to raise my money. Where I live which is the big island of Hawaii it is a real rural place especially if you don't know everybody Hawaii is the most isolated populated center on this planet. Throughout my whole school life I've only had the chance to go on a study abroad trip once and it was canceled due to our classes behavior (It was a small school so we couldn't just leave the others behind everyone would've had to come to be able go). Because of my health conditions I am unable to do work at least until they are under control. Gofundme Link: Want to know more about the trip?:
