Traditional Miao dance

This dance is performed by the Miao minority. It is supposed to symbolize their having to leave their home in the north when they were defeated. Please note the extra tall instruments, the xun. As they perform this dance they invite people from the audience to join in, so you will see some people not in traditional costume joining in.

SuperJalen2009, as you can see, a lot of people do not have the knowledge you have. Explaining here won't cost too much bandwidth and storage. Also, I believe that it is much more productive and friendlier to share information rather than to criticize others. We need to think in a higher level and other than ourselves. What do you think?

@NplaamSab

why bother explain Hmong/Miao if Hmong feel they're not part of Miao than leave

us alone we are proud to be Miao and never want to be Hmong or something else..

The Mong/Hmong in China is also divided into many types of Mong/Hmong such as Hmong Dawb, Mong Dlub, Mong Ntsuab, Mong Leeg, Mong Sib, Mong Xauv, Mong Pua, Mong Peg, Mong Ntsaug (Flower), and others that I don't remember. I also was told that there is another group of people that speak a dialect similar to Mong/Hmong but they are not Mong/Hmong or Miao.

BlackHmong85, Chinese never call Miao people as Hmong. Miao represents many ethnic groups. One of these ethnic group happens to be Hmong/Mong. The Miao people who verbally refer themselves as Hmong/Mong are those Miao people who live in South and South-West China. These people speak dialects similar to the Hmong/Mong people in Laos, Thailand, and US. Officially, they consider themselves as Miao Zu (苗 族).
