Traditional Miao Music
Posted by Cindy Zhang on
Instead of writing down the story, singing the stories is the way Miao people preserve their history and culture. In ancient times, Miao people suffered a lot from war, major migrations, and it was hard for them to preserve any physical documents. To record their history, people create songs.
Five Major Types of Songs in Miao Tribe:
- Leave Song: Bold Guess of the origin of Nature
- Butterfly song: Explore the origin of Human
- Flooding Song: The Relationship between Marriage & Family
- Hiking Song: Explore New Opportunities for Survivals
- Break the Ground Song: The Appreciation of their Culture
