The Largest Habitation of Miao (Hmong) People in China

[@digeratidigerati6560]

This is the most underrated and underviewed video. Thank you, Yanyan for uploading this and sharing it with us. I have just visited guizhou during the Miao new year and the 13 year once Guzhang festival. We were so mesmerized by all the events that we ditched all other sightseeing such as going to the waterfalls.

Great documentary of the Hmong people, thanks God for creating the Hmong...

[@kiabtoomlauj6249]

Is that the Guy who created the Jews, Christians, and Muslims, too (in addition to the Hindus, the Buddhists, and thousands of other religious groups and religious beliefs in the last 75,000 or so years)? A perfect creator whose creation is on the way to destroying the entire species and possibly earth, itself.... since all those three tribes, plus the Chinese and the Indians... they have thermonuclear weapons. He's either a very NEGLIGENT God, for not paying attention to how violent and murderous ALL of his tribes have become; OR he doesn't give a shit about his creatures. "Let them murder and rape each other & I'll just broadcast holy thoughts subliminally." On the creation of the Hmong and the Hmong's next door neighbors, the Hans: why would such a God create such a power imbalance between neighbors, so that bigger and more powerful tribes, like the Hans and others would over-run the Hmong and smaller neighbors like that. Don't tell me, HE told you, it's not his doing; it's actually the doing of the local tribes, who had each fallen for the various Under World Evil Masters? The Christian Fairy tale from the Middle East, stemmed from the Jewish Judaism fairy tale --- of which they, the Jews, were CENTRAL players in the Universe, of course ---- it has such a nice blue eyed blonde baby angel feel to it; but in reality, it brought societal events like the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the Crusades, the 500+ year period of European Christians cutting off fingers, hands, and toes of Indigenous people for not finding enough to and bringing them all to them, from the Americas to Africa, to Asia... I am 100% sure you're going to EXCUSE that SKY GOD, saying it's not is doing but the doing of fake people who were not really into HIM but something else, who just used his ideas, name, story, etc. to do things? Yet, those same people also beatified MANY, MANY HUNDREDS of "saints" from Europe and half a dozen or so from the Americas, Africa, and Asia. BTW... Don't worry, as more and more miracles are authenticated by THE CHURCH, there will some day, 100s of years from now, with millions Hmong having become Christians, be Saint Tub, St. Pov, St. Nom Tsav, St. Maiv Tsab, St. Paj Dib, etc.. so that on paintings, murals, and other tapestries, you'd have a big, tall, handsome, blonde haired Donald Trump-like God smiling with and extending to Asians, Blacks, Latinos, Whites, Jews, Muslims, etc., IN HEAVEN... just like what we see today, in America... where Trump has been sent by Jesus and his Dad, God (which also is Jesus himself in Heaven) to save Americans and mankind from chaos, violence, corruption, wars, and deaths. And Trump will do it, too, because he's the most perfect, most moral, most kind, most intelligent, and most tolerant 78 year-old leader mankind has ever produced... Anyway, a very oddly omniscient, omnibonevolent, omnipotent God you worship there.... as a newly converted Christian, from the Hmong tribe from China...

@12:56 my grandmother that was Chinese is from Guangxi province. She used to listen to recorded tapes from other old ladies singing. She called it mountain songs, the rhythm and cadence is the same as how it's sang here except it would be in "Bak Wa" which means plain language but known in the West as Cantonese because most Chinese in the West comes from Guangdong aka Canton.

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

I guess your grandmother might have come from Wuzhou (梧州）area of Guangxi Province as it used to belong to Guangfu (Guangdong) in history.

[@mdiesel23]

@Yanyan Go Around in China My Dad's entire family including my Grandma is from the Fang Cheng Gang area. Her family is from the villages that's like on the outside of the town. I've been back to Fang Cheng Gang and you can get around just speaking Bak Wa aka Cantonese. It was casually spoken compared to Nanning where I heard Mandarin spoken. I think people in Nanning can speak Bak Wa too. I spoke to my Uncle (my dad's cousin) that lives in the city and he said Guangxi and Guangdong used to be one province and it was later split? I don't know the full story. Nanning is the major city a few hours North. There people who speak Ngai in my Dad's town too. My mom is Ngai and she's born in Vietnam. Her people left Guangxi like two generations before. Apparently it's categorized as Hakka but, my mom doesn't call themselves that. They just call her people "speak Ngai language" (direct translation from Cantonese.). My mom said it's pretty common to sing like that and even find matches for couples to marry from singing.

[@yanyangoaroundinchina]

Right, it was Fang Cheng Gang that used to belong to Guangdong Province, not Wuzhou. But because Guangxi Province needed a coastal port, Fang Cheng Gang was given to Guangxi Province in 1950. My understanding is Guangdong and Guangxi in history were sometimes categorized in one province and sometimes two. Anyway, people in Guangxi Province just celebrated the mountain song festival today (March 3rd in lunar calendar).

The Hmong never left China until the last dynasty of China, the Qing Dynasty. That's when the Manchu were enforcing and implementing their culture into everyone else in China which led some of the Hmong no choice but to migrated to the southeast Asia countires during the 1800s.

[@zhugecunfu-pr8sd]

The Miao wolf soldiers were one of the most effective armies in the Ming Dynasty. . During the Ming Dynasty, the Miao people were controlled by the Tusi family and were very loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The last dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, was not a Han dynasty. They forced the Han and Miao people to change their national costumes, and the Miao people fled to Southeast Asian countries.

[@charlottechoo]

To prevent more people dropping angry comments over this Miao/Hmong debate, im just going to clarify a few things. '苗' or Miao is not a derogatory word it is means seedling. It has a meaning of 'florishing', 'resilience' or 'prospering' Miao is a term that the Qing Dynasty used for hundreds of years to classify a group of different ethnic groups living in '三苗' or Sanmiao (meaning the 3 agricultural counties) which includes Hmong but also different groups in the area with similar traits. It is a neutral term like European or Asian. Just a description of location of origin. Approximately 500 years ago, there was a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty that some Miao groups were a part of. The Miao people were very successful in agriculture and were heavily taxed. The Qing also forced all men in China to adopt Manchurian attire and hairstyle (the iconic half shaved head and que). Some groups revolted. The groups that revolted against the Qing were subsequently punished with even higher taxes, or displaced from their land and subjected to hard labour. These groups left China in large numbers for South East Asia (Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, etc.) So it is understandable if Hmong viewers dont identify with this group as they are likely a group that didnt take part in the revolt 500 years ago, and therefore a large population of this group stayed in China. Many overseas Hmong are likely comprised of a different group than the dominant ones in China. The ones that left after the Qing revolt. So Hmong and Miao (because not all Miao populations are Hmong) can both be valid terms.

[@Jay-kk1kv]

Wow this is amazing. Growing up I always wondered what there was beyond who we were before Laos and Thailand. It just seemed like our roots were completely gone. Not even the elders had any knowledge passed down about who we were, and where we originated from. All we ever knew was from our time in Laos and then Thailand. I was so surprised to know that there are Hmong people all over the world! I couldn’t believe it. I’ve always wanted to meet Hmong who weren’t a part of America. To see how much we have changed from who we were. Obviously we can only love and appreciate who we are now. But in a strong believer of knowing one’s history.

[@drama4you_]

Miao ppl are same orgin as Han chinese but differnet Kings and kingdoms also differnt customs. Like the english and british. But like in chinese dramas, kingdoms were conquered and land taken over. Our history burned and to escape persecution created the "HMONG" language as in secret language so they would not be detected. We and Miaos living in China know this history. The hmongs/miao were loyal to their king Chiyou and would not bow down to the new kings thus resulting in hmongs all over asia. The Miao there have a thick chinese accent now but still spoke the hmong language. Not sure about the new generations now but just like the new generations in thailand, Vietnam, America and laos all speak that countrys language and Hmong. They're Hmong but the Chinese called them Miao. So that's why our hmong grandparents would say you are not Miao! You are Hmong to confuse us.

They have many great leaders from China to Laos! They helped the United States during the Vietnam war. They are still under rated and not really recognized throughout some countries. The United States recognized their bravery and Hmong people scarified to fight alongside with US military! Finally, United States admitted that Hmong people are great people deserve to respect and appreciate their hard work as well as their dedication . The president of the United States and many leaders from Washington DC finally praising for their heroism, courage and determination to support United States military.

Just a note that there are many sub-groups under the Miao term: Gho Xiong, Hmu, A-Hmao, and Hmong. The ones shown in this video are the Hmu people. So, here is an equation: Hmong = Miao: Okay Miao = Hmong: No Reason why I said Hmong = Miao is okay because it is interpreting that Hmong are Miao as throughout history we have been labeled like that along with the other sub-groups. The reason why I said that Miao = Hmong is not okay because it is interpreting that ALL of the sub-groups that were Miao are Hmong, which isn't true as they have a name to call themselves. Also, if there are any Mongol people out there, here is a question for you guys. Do you think Hmong people have any relations to Mongols at all, like ancestry? The reason why I asked that because there are some Hmong people who really misunderstood about our own history probably because of the word "Mong" which is used by the Hmong Green and Blue dialect for the promounciation of our identity. Also, I can tell if a "Hmong" person is trying to make a claim that "Mong are Mongols" (*cough cough the ones with the common word "Xiongnu" in their username), if you are that person, I am asking an actual MONGOL person/people to answer my question, NOT you.

[@chilln9294]

Mongolians once ruled some china, doesn't seem it's out of the possibility that there is some kind of connections there. All humans in the end, is basically the same, the reason there's different color or structural form of humans is based on the evolution of adapting and evolving in different biomes of this world. So what I'm basically saying is that whatever you want to categorize or group yourself with, in the end, we are just a human being, the same.

The term "Miao", as the anthropologist Norma Diamond explains, does not mean only the antecedents of today's Miao national minority; it is a term, which had been used by the Chinese to describe various indigenous, mountain tribes of Guizhou and other south-western provinces of China, which shared similar cultural traits. China should allow the Hmong Chinese in China name themselves as Hmong people and should not continuing to name the Hmong as Miao because of what has been this evidence studies says. Hmong People as the “mountain-dwelling peoples are name as disrespectfully as the Laotian and Chines government name us as meo, cat, or Miao. So therefore we never heard any ancestor told us the name Miao at all. So the whole world majority call us the Hmong by the names meo/miao/cat and this is not fair and as well violate our civil right as the Hmong people as indigenous minority.

[@TheLsp92]

The modern current Chinese (Mandarin) usage of Miao, is not the same meaning or character that was used in the past or in Southeast Asia (Meo) to describe all non-Han Chinese groups in Southwest China. They may both sound the same, but they evolved and mean differently (Mandarin Chinese is very Homophonic). Having said that, Hmong are mainly a subgroup of Miao people that reside in Yunnan, Laos, Vietnam, and US, most of whom migrated down south and out the last few hundred years. The Hmong that migrated and settled to Southeast Asia are mainly descendants of those who rebelled against Qing (Manchu rule) Dynasty who were forced to flee after their rebellions were squashed (btw Qing faced many rebellions by Han Chinese too you know, like Taiping and Boxer Rebellions). You can say that all Hmong people, both in China and overseas, can be classified under Miao ethnicity, however, not all Miao people in China are technically Hmong. Miao is more of an umbrella term for peoples who share cultural (lusheng) and linguistic similarities of Miao language(s), as well as sharing common ancestor (Chi You). Miao groups like Hmu, Gha-mu in Guizhou; Xong in Hunan, and A-Hmao in northeastern Yunnan don’t really identify too closely with the Hmong further south, as they all have dialectal and costume differences amongst each other.

[@Eeluon]

@@TheLsp92 To be fair, there's division even amongst 'Hmong' groups, because as you point out, there's dialectic and cultural differences. Groups like the long-horn Miao (Hmong rong) and Gejia (qa Hmong) don't really like to associate with other Hmong groups because they're proud of their cultures. But linguistically speaking, the names Hmong, Hmu, Xong, Hmao, etc. all originate from the same name. So it doesn't matter if they (Hmu, Hmao, Xong, or other Hmong groups) "don't really identify with the Hmong further south", they are still Hmong. And actually, in recent years these groups have identify more and more with Hmong of SEA and US. Even in Xijiang, they have signs in English that reads Hmong village instead of Miao village. From my understanding, the Hmu don't really like associating with other Hmong groups because they don't like how a lot of Hmong groups no longer wear traditional clothing. The Hmu are very traditional and are very proud of the fact that they've kept a lot of ancient cultures alive.

Miao Americans need to learn their roots.

[@xislis6037]

There is no such thing as Miao in America. We are Hmong. Miao is used in China to describe us as an "Other" with the other groups of people lumped in with us. This has its own political agenda.

[@lihaiguo-et3sv]

​@@xislis6037 "Miao" actually doesn't any meaning. It was one of the oldest groups near Yellow River China. Within last 1000 to 2000 years, some barbarians from north kept invading China. Lots of people were killed. Thus many Miao and Han people had to move to south to escape the wars. That is why Han people in Canton area speak Cantonese, an ancient Chinese language and Miao group in South speak another language. Between Han and Miao, there is no conflict. From 1980s, to control the total population of China, Han people are limited to have only child per couple. But Miao ethnic group, like other 55 minorities don't have to follow this one child policy. They can have as many children as they want.

[@lihaiguo-et3sv]

​@@xislis6037I am a Han Chinese, now live in USA. Believe me, the name Miao (苗) or Miao Zu (苗族, Miao group) don't have any meaning of discrimination, it is just a name from 1000 year ago from a history book called (史记), "The History".

the largest minority people of China is the Dai people (Lao, Thai, Myanmar) not Hmong

[@thatdorkdennis]

Correct, because southern China is technically the most northern part of Southeast Asia.

[@Utube1024]

Reading from the comments Miao is different from Hmong. Miao is more to the Chinese side while Hmong more to the Mongol side. Just saying. Anyway does it matter....LOL

[@xislis6037]

Miao is equal to saying Native American. There's more than one ethnic group within the "ethnicity". Hmong is not Mongol either.

[@danl6678]

To this day, are you saying the Miao people don’t have a scripted language? I thought they did. I thought they also use Roman alphabet letters as with the later Hmong people do.

[@keqingsimp5676]

[@iviewutoob]

As for all fallen kingdoms, their writings and history is erased from history.

[@BOMBAYYYFV]

Yes exactly we do have a scripts language just because the Hans Chinese who destroy everything come on we live in this land more than 5000 years we have good history cuz the Chinese who’s the one destroy us killing our ancestors for thousands of years, them brainwashed us to eat like Chinese dress like Chinese, and then they’re the one who erased all our history😡

[@JoshuaXiong]

I don’t consider them as Hmong because their native language Hmong I don’t understand and they don’t look Hmong and they are taller than Hmong people. I think they are the old Hmong mixed with Han Chinese, hybrid.

[@arbs3ry]

You should understand how big China is. People from the same ethnic group have different custumes and dialects, it's a norm in China. Yi, Zhuang, Han(Suav), Tibetans...and Hmong from different region backgrounds have different custumes and speak different dialects which are usually hard to communicate with each other. Your ancestors came from the same province. Before covid, Hmong community representatives and Hmong schoolars from SEA and America\France\Australia attended the local New Year event every year. Those silver Hmong headwares are from this region and have already spreaded to Hmong communites outside China.

[@animelovergirl8461]

They are a sub-group just like Hmong labeled under the word "Miao" and the sub-group in the video are called "Hmu."
