Features: With the deepening of China's reform and opening-up, and the development of economies of various ethnic groups, the culture of ethnic minorities in China has also attracted global attention. To help more Chinese and foreign friends understand China and the culture of its ethnic minorities, we compiled this five-volume set of approximately 5 million words titled "The Great Dictionary of Chinese Ethnic Minority Culture." If it serves to promote and carry forward the culture of China's ethnic minorities, that would be our greatest comfort. Of course, compiling such a large-scale dictionary is no easy task. We organized hundreds of experts and scholars and spent four years to complete "The Great Dictionary of Chinese Ethnic Minority Culture." It is a major specialized dictionary, including approximately 25,000 entries related to China's 55 ethnic minorities. The entire set is divided into five volumes: Northeast and Inner Mongolia Region Volume (including the Xibo ethnic group), Southwest Region Volume, Central and Southeast Region Volume, Northwest Region Volume, and Comprehensive Volume.
