An important musical instrument for the Miao and Dong peoples is the lusheng, which is made up of bamboo pipes, each with its own reed. Every year, the Miao hold various lusheng festivals where people from local villages will gather wearing traditional costumes and show off their skills playing the lusheng, with many people joining in with traditional dance. The largest of these festivals takes place in Kaili, Guizhou every year in March, and includes other activities such as bullfighting and horse racing.
Each Miao subgroup typically wears a different style or colour of daily clothing, which makes it easy for the Miao to look at another Miao. While the men typically wear simple jackets and trousers, on festival days the women are famous for wearing colourful pleated skirts and elaborate silver jewellery, including bracelets, heavy collars, and large headdresses, sometimes with horns. This silver jewellery can weigh up to 15 kg. Among the Miao, silver is considered a sign of wealth, and as something which will bring good luck and protect them from evil spirits.
n. 衣服;服装
The Dong are one of the 56 recognised ethnic groups in China. They are famous for their singing, and the Kam Grand Choir (the Grand Song of the Dong People) is listed as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage.
Zhaoxing, Guizhou, the largest Dong minority town in China, is comprised of 11 villages, the largest of which is Zhaoxing village, with 4,000 residents. The village has many old buildings which are representative of traditional Dong architecture, including five drum towers and many “wind and rain” bridges.
The Miao ethnic group has a population of more than 9 million, most of whom live in Guizhou province.

Justin: Hey, Wu Yue, do you know what kind of instrument these Miao performers are playing
Wu Yue: Yes, it’s called a lusheng, my favourite musical instrument.
Justin: It sounds beautiful. Is it made of bamboo
Wu Yue: Yes. Can you guess when it was invented
Justin: Um ... five hundred years ago I can’t tell. I know China has a very long history.
Wu Yue: That’s a good guess, but the lusheng actually has a history of over 3,000 years. It’s even mentioned
in the oldest collection of Chinese poetry.
Justin: Wow, such a long time ago. There must be many beautiful songs.
Wu Yue: Yes. indeed, and they all make me proud. You know. I’m a Miao, too, and I’m really proud of our
culture. Look, the performers are performing the lusheng dance. [Music.]
Justin: This is great! And I really like the silver accessories that the girls are wearing. What are they
Wu Yue: Oh, they’re traditional hand-made accessories. I can help you buy some as souvenirs if you like.
Justin: Great, thanks! I hope they’re not too expensive.
Wu Yue: Oh, well, it’ll depend on the percentage of silver.

Wu Yue: I’m taking you to Zhaoxing, a pretty Dong minority village. It’s considered one of China’s
most beautiful villages.
Justin: Great, I can’t wait. There must be a lot to see.
Wu Yue: There is. First, I’ll take you to see the beautiful drum towers, and then the wind and rain
bridges. The Dong play the lusheng, too. Perhaps you’ll see them perform the Grand Song of
