Features: Ethnic groups that have lived in a specific area for generations and formed residential settlements such as villages and streets are referred to as the indigenous peoples of that region. Guangxi, located in the southern border of China, is a multi-ethnic autonomous region with a dense population of ethnic groups. It is home to 12 indigenous ethnic groups, including the Zhuang, Han, Yao, Miao, Dong, Mulao, Maonan, Hui, Jing, Yi, Shui, and Gelao. This book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to these ethnic groups, covering their geographical distribution, natural environment, historical origins, traditional economic lifestyles, languages, cultural arts, living customs, folk religious beliefs, and more. It also explores the process of the formation of Guangxi's multi-ethnic landscape and the harmonious relationships among its ethnic groups.
