Features: In the southern part of China, amidst countless mountains and rivers, where water vapor rises, there once existed a beautiful kingdom. This kingdom, known as Nanzhao, is little-known to many. Few have heard of its history, and even fewer know its legends. Only stories from unknown dynasties, passed down through the ages, are sung by the Miao people in their loud, melodious songs. These songs echo through the clouds, swirling and intertwining in the valleys, with layers of reverberations that seem never to fade. They rise gradually toward the heavens, perhaps reaching the sky to be heard by the gods. "Why do the Miao people sing in the valleys?" Before recounting the legends, the elders of the Miao tribe always ask the children this question. And the children always answer loudly: "To let the phoenix hear!" The preface, features, and excerpts from the review articles of this book.
