Southwestern Silk Road
中华风物——中国西南丝绸之路

China's Ethnic Minorities
中华风物——中国少数民族
Contents: China was a unitary multi-ethnic state as early as in the Qin Dynasty (221-207 BC). With a history of more than 5,000 years, today China has 56 ethnic groups. In addition to the Han people, who form the majority of the population, there are 55 minority nationalities. Because they maintain an equal, harmonious and fraternal relationship with the Han people, they are called "fraternal nationalities." They are also called "minority" nationalities because their populations are relatively small in comparison to the Han population.
