Bai living habits:

The Bai nationality is a branch of the Han nationality, and its so-called festivals are all forgotten festivals of the Han nationality.

Due to its remote location, it is undeniable that there is more blood of various ethnic groups in the south in the maternal line of the people in history.

The so-called Bai costumes are formed after the Manchu Dynasty banned Hanfu.

Bai dance is the remnant of Han dance Historically, the Han people were a people who liked to dance very much.

Before liberation, the Bai people were called Minjia, just like the Hakka, they were all a branch of the migrating Han people, and the language was Chinese, but the pronunciation was inconsistent with Mandarin, and there were many ancient sounds, but the grammar was all Chinese.

Before the liberation, according to the country's policy of ethnic division, it was divided into the so-called Bai nationality, in fact, the Tujia people were also divided out in this way, and the Hakka people were also preparing to be divided into ethnic minorities at that time, but there were too many Hakka people, and the Hakka people were resolutely opposed to dividing themselves into Han nationality, and their strong Han consciousness made ethnologists give up the plan of dividing them into a separate ethnic group.

There is also a Chuanqing tribe, all of which are standard Han Chinese, but at that time there were conflicts with the local indigenous Han people, and they insisted on being divided into ethnic minorities. Although it is not clear, the name of the Chuanqing tribe has also flowed.

In fact, the cultural level of the people in Yunnan is much higher than that of any other ethnic group in the surrounding areas, and the genealogies of the Gaomen surnames are all from the Central Plains, and the surnames of the people are all standard Han surnames, and their surnames are exactly the same as those of the Han people.

In fact, since the establishment of the Kino ethnic group, the state has been very realistic. No new nationalities are being recognized. Practice has proved that the ethnic policy and ethnic division from the Soviet Union are contrary to the goal of China's rejuvenation.
