56 ethnic groups with different languages living as one people in China. CCP has done so much to reach out to poor villages, bringing in Electricity, water and etc I am proud to hear that the younger one stated to return to his village after his studies to up keep his cultural heritage. Keep up the great work CGTN we need more of these kind of documentaries. Looking forward to seeing your next Ethnic group.
@Richard Gilleyin Western view you all like to play politics to divide and weaken other then enslave others to loot their resources to develop your country, then uses churches to play Holy, stop playing hypocrites
I love seeing cultures like this. Really cool to see that their traditions are being preserved in this technological world. So refreshing to see the very definition of simple living. In a lot of ways, they are more blessed. 😊💕
Complimenti per i tuoi pensieri. Qua in occidente l'odio regna da per tutto. Tra nord e sud. In Europa. Nord i sud Italia. Incredibile tifosi di squadre di calcio. Della stessa reggione di scontrano, con peletti di legno, coltelli. Avvolte ci scappa il morto.! Da quasi 80 anni Assimiliano tutta in " buono " e il meglio dall'america. Non ne avevamo bisogno. Noi ABBIANO inventato MAFIA', ECC.ECC. NEL 2022 SONO CAPITATI DIVERSI CASI DI RAGAZZI CHE IN AULE DI SCUOLA ANNO SPARATO CON PISTOLE CON PALLINI DI GOMMA SUI PROFESSORI.! COME VEDI STIAMO SULLA BUONA STRADA americana
per fare stragi come avviene IN America.! SU TH-cam vidi un filmato fatto da un amaricano, se ricordo bene. Che diceva che in CHINA ci sono 56 ETNIE. VIVONO TUTTI IN PACE. In America ci sono bianchi, neri, ispanici, asiatici. (I nativi Americani non li calcolo. Gli hanno sterminati quasi tutti.!) I COLONI OCCIDENTALU.! Quatro specie che si ammazzano FRA DI LORO. OLTRE ALLA MALAVITA. Ecco io vorrei un modo di vivere senza discriminazioni come in CHINA. WIVA LA CHINA. 🐇🇨🇳
Heart warming footage.
th real picture of village life..tianran always put it in an authentic way.. you're d best.. keep going.. don't stop travelogue episodes..
China is beutiful💚💚💚💚
refreshed to know such a place, people and tradition here in a rural part of China. It flashes my village in Nepal, we also pray to sky god for enough rain before planting rice.
I am a Dong as well 😄!
Dong people are well-known for their singing tradition and public infrastructure like bridges, towers, and squares where people can get together to chat and sing in their spare time.
Beautiful, humble people.🙏
*Sadly I don't see them being able to, in today's climate in China .... This is from over 2 years ago ... Today's Chinese Authoritarian Regime is sadly very different‼️*

If it's up to Xi Jinping, your culture would not exist inside Xi's China.
You are pretty! 🥰
‘Everyone is family’ so warm & beautiful
Very nice to see my people and know how they are
Cool, as an ethnic Miao... we also have rain or sky calling traditions.
Mong Hmong not miao. Miao dong is NAGA CHINESE people.
Miao dong related to LAOS THAILAND VIETNAM COMBODIA BERMA India family.
This dong have black skin just like Laos Thailand and INDIA NAGA people. 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
@@mongolk1ngl0g1c3 it's naga people that look more like hmong chinese.
O people save yourselves from the Hellfire. It is extremely painful, dark and terrifying. God sent prophets to all nations for the truth. It’s better for us to remember God, repent to Him and do good deeds for Him. There is nothing after death except Hellfire or Paradise. This life is very short and full of hardships. This life is test form God. Do not waste your time running for your desires. Don’t let satan to mislead you from the path God.
God promised righteous people with a very beautiful life in the heaven. It is a great life full of joy, peace, and happiness.
All prophets were sent to guide people to the truth(pure and clear monotheism). That is the straight way, the truth and the real life.
Say, He is God, the one. God is eternal. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is nothing comparable to Him. ( holy Quran ,original holy Bible & all true Revelations). FACT.
I’m Laos and China is my blood line motherland
are you ethnic chinese who lives in Laos?
I think you are 苗 ethnic.
Inthor Sang

Please show us more of China's rich ethnic culture and tradition.
The people are so sweet and welcoming!really quite lovely!God bless their way of life!
Yes, when people are tired of city life, sure they will come back to the village. Thank you for the video. Watching you from Malaysia.
I'm from India, Manipur and Maram belongs to Naga tribe, we do have traditional call on rain during plantation season.
😂 seriously
R u from Senapati
Thank you CGTN for such and insightful look into the different cultures and people of the world .
Love u Miao or Dong
tribe from North East India Nagaland obviously some similarities with the north east indian tribes
Maio tribe
From Chin state born in Mizoram
I'm really love your video. Love from India
I am a northeastern indian so I can totally relate to this kind of festival,we also have different kinds of festival relating harvest etc..Love this video.
Which state and tribe?
@@studymail5946 state is meghalaya n tribe is khasi
@@kuntilimbu8534 not only meghalay ,it's relet , Nagaland, Arunachal, Assam
In Manipur when draught occurs rain is called in my husband Village, only women go there and the ritual is done in secrecy as told by my husband
Interesting! Love things done in the traditional way.
China has 56 ethnic groups. But there is no discrimination among them. This is amazing! Do you know why? Confucianism is the answer.
Tradition of Harmony and Tolerance!!!
What about the uyghurs or Tibetans? The CCP hide tons of information from their people and the rest of the world. If there was any discrimination going on you wouldn't know about it
@Toot my Kazoo.... U should see the facts yourself before commenting and... let me tell you this: Do not belive in your media only... go look at international news that's what internet are for...
I want to go there during the rain ceremony! These people looks so peaceful and have such beautiful cultural!
I'm from Northeast India and am sure my roots are somewhere from Yunnan province 🙏
Excellent reporting. Pray that the people don't lose their identity. So unique and colorful village.
thank u for the show... that ccp-china value the life of village people ... bringing knowledge nd means to improve their standard of living... appreciating their way of life... preservinv nd helping them be free of city life contamination... great is ccp-china great is villager life... great is all ethnics life...
Unless you are a Uyghur villager in Xinjiang or a Tibetan in Tibet..
Natural people nice people they live with nature and respect nature
I knew about this since a very young age. That dance feels so familiar and thank you for sharing more 💗 peace.
Great reporting!
Similar to our tribe rongmei of Nagaland India . We even make rain fall
This viddeo comsists of ggreat value of social life ,simple good people,serene hearted people .great job with this video
Wow so many tourists. Unique festival 👌 love the festival hat😘
This tribe is doing a great job!! Keep it up.
The China people are trying to bring a better life for everyone including the people here. At lease give them basic water, electricity and food. Great video.
They should be "praying" for MONEY $$$$... It will end so many poor people's lives, especially these villages! LMFAO
GreaterBayArea Hero
chinese always try to force their crap on peoples throat, it’s been happening for thousands of years
@@ggfcfhvyy9272 Fake account holder
Is wiping out cultures in Xinjiang and Tibet making life better?
@@g1u2y345 I try not get into the politics of media manipulation for financial rewards. You should try to seek the truth and opening your eyes before coming to a conclusion. Let's be positive and agree on the good things first. My objective in life is to stop wars and killing of innocent civilians for monetary greed and focus on the good things done by any Government. Right now you should focus why there is constant bombing by Israel on innocent civilians and the reasons behind the massacre of the Palestinians and taking of their land. I am sure you are a nice person deep inside.
Beutiful people in a beautiful place.
After watching this video, one can confidently conclude that China was very fortunate that she has not been conquered by christianity, or we would ony see their similar fate of the American and the Australian NATIVES.
Hard,simple and Happy life away from stressful life
Farming by hand the old way, makes the sweetest foods.
there is a similar culture here in the philippines. the field and the people when we celebrate festival
Such a great sacrifice being made by people
Wow all asian countries have almost similar ethnic culture and life especially in remote villages.
This is so cool.
City and urban folks won't know how to survive in the Dong ( 洞) habitat.
1. Eat Fish, Chicken, vegetable and rice available from the good earth.
2. Drink lots of alcohol to prevent food poisoning.
3. Adults earn hard currency, ¥ to upgrade villages, town with electricity, water? and appliances. Later agriculture machinery.
4. 天水山 rather interesting cultural heritage.
5. Developing Staycation for tourist. Step by step upgrade.
6. 3 million Dong people, a large community.
👍😂
China 🇨🇳 love ❤️ from pakistan 🇵🇰
Pakistan loves China who is persecuting Uyghurs Muslims and "re-educating" them. If Pakistan loved China then they are truly traitors to the Muslim world
I like their culture :)
Beautifully captured.
Loved watching. Greetings from India
Guizhou is very mountainous but its people are resilient.
Their tradition and culture similar to Hmong shaman
What a special report and to think we have such humanity still amongst us is surreal. May we all keep safe and well during this pandemic. 🌜🙏🌛
I wanna tell uncle so bad he’s not poor for working by hand. That’s something a lot of us in the “modern” world wish we could do.
RAIN MAKING IS AN OLD AFRICAN TRADITION, SHOWS THAT WE INDEED SHARE A COMMON ANCESTRY
Truly amazing!
I pray that the keep the traditions of the Dong people pure. For me I see this life as so rich. So many people are now trying to take classes for what so many people who are just doing it in their ancestral ways. Elders of your villages keep it going and keep passing on the knowledge by doing and living in the way of your na kupuna (ancestors). The fish in the rice patties make so much sense. It is what westerners call aquaponics. See it isn't new it is an ancient knowledge that is worth so much more then the outside world can teach. Mahalo to the Dong people in this village who are living it. So many people are trying to reconnect to their ancestors and their ancestral ways. Pule (prayers) aligning with all of your pule.
Wow.. my people are awesome and I know so very little of my history.. I would love to learn as much as I can
What a great power and practice and privilege and edge to have yeah
This grand song is similar tune to traditional song in North East india., Nagaland.Tianran come to Nagaland during hornbill festival in the first week of December it is celebrated every year for 10 days
I left UK for Malaysia two year ago. If God is willing, I wish my kids can spend at least a year in China when they finished their secondary school education. I want them to pick up Chinese and learn the culture of this ancient country.
And yanks claim Chinese are racists , we know who the racists are, that was so interesting, thank you.
Idiot, there are racists in every country in every race of people. I see racism rampant in the CCP and in Chinese business men and politicians world wide. It's no accident the whole world hates them.
@@jimmywrangles - 100%
At least the CCP dont massacre and wipe out their culture and people compared to what white american did long time ago lol. Poor Navajo, Apache...
@@aatamyjosephling3521 - You know NOTHING about the USA + American Indian !!! The "Poor" Navajo and Apache and Etc... Getting "Special Tax" break and "Payments" for the lands that we still use today. One example... In Connecticut, the Casino name "The Mohegan Sun", who do you think who owned it and who it benefits? Better yet, there are places and benefits for American Indians, like the side of my Father's Grand Parents. My Great Grand Parents DID NOT pay any taxes, but by the time they are old, they got SSI & Food Stamps and they have NEVER pay into the system, simply they are American Indian and belong to a certain Tribe !!!
@@JodBronson Ofcorase. there is no tax. After slaugthering and wipe out most of the american indian. People in america just feel pity for them. That is why there is benefits for the remaining few of them.
I wish and hope you shall never have to face a drought
Nice documentary greetings from the philippines.
Don't lose this precious Bardic society.
Thank love the video and village
Beautiful people Beautiful story ❤
I been here before..these minorities groups are down to earth n nice people..
oh yeah.....so can i. everytime i have washed my car, it rains the next freakin day!
Very true !! Can even rain straight after wash.
Or hang washed clothes on the line to dry.
They're are Ahoms of Bharmaputra valley India 😄 wow
Even in our Northeastern region of India, Assam we the indigenous ethnic groups have a rain calling festival and ritual where we hold wedding of frogs & believe it will make it rain for a good agricultural season.. We the aboriginal Kaibarta(Keot) ethnicity of Assam also perform a traditional dance & songs called ''Uraltana'' to call on the rain in a dry season & imitate frog sounds, hold frog wedding & ask to make it rain
How can it be possible that one can have perfect dictions in two different languages, down to the way he carries himself when he speaks them.
It's called focusing on education. The great majority of People in US speak only one language. Most of the rest of the world speaks at least two quite well.
Nice to stay for a month..
Beautiful people living beautiful lives
Watch out, freedom and democracy incoming!
NOOOOOO!!!! We don't wanna become Iraq No. 2!!!!!
bring them appropriate schools to educate the villagers nd encourage them to do better where they r... to explore the world is man's nature so tell the truth of city life that people fight each other for more money, bigger house, higher rank, better than the other...
It seems money is not the goal for these people. They are so connected to the land they work. This is a way of life. ..and a beautiful one.
well..goood..but i did this every time with Lord JESUS ALONE..a thousands times..+ only Prayers and obeying=Bless You from Bulgaria=///
!!
I grew up in Asia, at the time all school children had to go paddy weeding so they understood what kind of work their rice meal entailed. It wasn’t THAT weird, but the leeches were awful! It was back breaking work, and I am sure we did more damage than good, but I can never eat rice without gratitude. Throwing rice out is very hard, so I am frugal about using it. Just enough for need.
Grandmaster hop gar lama Kung fu big fan vary pond looks great 👍
Why do i understand very well the mother tounge among them villegers talking.. i am in borneo now
This place resembles many parts of India's Northeast like Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur etc.
@J L I agree, all Northeast must declare independence right now. People will happy without issue with Mainland India.
Were these the nation names before the British colonization?
I loved to learned how’s about the natives and tribesmen ways of life’s. It’s such an amazingly meaningful by the locals wisdoms lives. They’ve lived with big families, heritage cultural and life lived leanings on naturally supporting exchanges. How’s prosperity in efficiency and tenderness calmly likely they accepted how’s natural sacrifice in protecting ways of life’s. Blissing was natural organization of yours lives. Thank you 🙏🏼.
Resembles some tribes of North East India
@刘润平 It explains why the people in NE India look Chinese.
Rain making/ sky calling seems to have been all over the whole time...
We also have it in my culture, we call the process 'gofetlha ga pula', don't try to read that out loud. May we please keep our cultures alive!
Wow ! fresh 🐠 that’s yummy!
Hey dear,can you please make a video of native Tani people (lhoba).m from India (Arunachal Pradesh)often we referred ourselves as Tani clan.we are almost in lossing our culture, customer, language etc.. descendants of Tanyi separated,some of us are living peacefully in India and some of them are in part of china.. these boundaries has saparated us, it's been ages we haven't known to eachother.. luckily technology is so advanced we might get to see eachother through technology..it was like yesterday only when our ancestors shared same things.. please do make a video,we are very curious about them and we hope they do also miss us..hope to visit them one day when things get better between our beautiful country and their ❤️
We also have it here in indonesia
Beautiful!!! I probably missed this but I wonder how long iut takes before it actually starts raining
We Nepalese have Dong. It belongs to Tamang Nation. Dong is a clan of Tamang. I am Gole and Brother-Clan of Dong.
I am from Arunachal Pradesh and our tribes look pretty primitive infront of Chinese Tribes.
Love these traditional chinese...Hope Chinese government help them to with their disabilities..
These people are god-fearing beings that even rain obey them
it took them a whole tribe to make it rain, while it only takes my voice from singing to make it a thunderstorm 😬
Nice
N suddenly the rain started pouring from indian sky...
Hahahahaha too bad you grow up in a rich family Sir Reporter hehehe it's your first time to step in a rice fields😂😂😂😂
the singing is pretty; is it pu tong hua? i don't know other dialects.
the Dong people have their own language, a kra-dai language, same family with thai. it's not a dialect of the sinitic languages
China has a lot of dialects, many different from mandarin the sinitic family language
no. it is the Dong language.
aha! suo yi wo TING BU DONG
kai wan xiao le :)
Am I the only one was waiting 4 the rain to start?
😀👍❤
Wow these look like the relatives of the Hmomg people
who is watching this now with China flooded with too much rain
What ethnic group are these people? Dong is their ethnic group? Looks like Miao (hmong) people, the dress, bamboo pipe, and the shaman but the language sounds different than Miao.
I was hoping to see some rain
I think it's time to tell the Dong people to stop "sky calling" for awhile.
😊😊😊😊
