Siyueba Parade (四月八)

[dededoi]

it's a pity that not all the groups came together though but still cool

This is the first video I see where all kind of Miao branches came together as one group and share their talents and other stuff. This show us that the Miao in China is still united. Great video.

This is the video even Chinese people themselves will not be able to see in their life time.

But ironically, a popular video hosting site in China rejected my submission without any explanation.

I have other rare China travel videos that you also enjoy.

This annual event has been canceled indefinitely as of summer 2009 due to traffic congestion and the inability to take care of the numerous paraders from the countryside. So this video captured the last parade of its kind in Guiyang.

This is amazing. I would love to go there someday and I hope American Miaozu can participate and show their traditional clothings as well. So many different Miao groups... I am so happy to see our Miaozu in China doing perfectly fine.

Siyueba parade is an annual event at Guiyang by the city fountain. But the date on the solar calendar varies from year to year.

By the way, the "Dehang drumming" video (search under kkfung1) is also a video about the Miao minority.

Take a look and tell me how you like it.

Thank. I love your video especially this one. I am a Miaozu and some of my ancestors fled China a couple hundred years ago leaving behind many things... my parents used to tell stories about our people in China but i've never been able to see how they live or what they do. Thank you kkfung1
