Features: The investigation of Yunnan's ethnic village communities is a comprehensive survey material on 25 ethnic minority village communities in Yunnan, compiled by multidisciplinary teams from Yunnan University. It includes aspects such as population, economy, culture, politics, society, law, marriage and family, education, religion, science and technology, health, and ecology of each ethnic village community. This serves as a vivid microcosm of the basic conditions of Yunnan's ethnic minority village communities, marking a fruitful outcome of another large-scale ethnic investigation following the 1950s national ethnic surveys. It holds significant reference value and practical significance for understanding and researching the social life in Yunnan's ethnic minority regions. This volume introduces the historical overview, economy, lifestyle, marriage, family, customary law, customs, architecture, ethnic arts, language and script, folk literature, and religion of the Dong ethnic area.
