Yao people
Zhuang people is the most populous ethnic minority(少数民族) in China. They are mainly distributed in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region(自治区), Yunnan, Guangdong and Guizhou provinces.
Zhuang is one of the earliest peoples to cultivate and plant rice. Rice culture is very developed, and rice has naturally become the staple food of Zhuang people. Therefore, their main agricultural method is growing rice.
Yao people is the most widely distributed ethnic minority in South China, mainly in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hunan, Guizhou and other places.
Yao people is mainly distributed in Lingnan which is warm in four seasons, suitable for rice and vegetable growth. So they take corn and rice as their staple foods.

Activity 5 Read and draw
The Longji Rice Terraces were built by the local Zhuang ethnic group alone. Though there are many large, flat areas in the region, they built terraces on the mountains to have more areas to grow rice. The terraces are cleverly designed, and can wash away the shallow soil. There are hundreds of waterways, along which rainwater moves down the mountains and into the terraces. Today, local people use modern methods to maintain the terraces, and they attract lots of visitors from all over the country.
