The climate is cool in summer and warm m winter. In the Lanchang  area, rivers meander in high mountains, which are productive and  picturesque land rich in various resources.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/span><span><span><span>With two major branches-the Lahuna, and Lahuxi, the  Lahus are descendants of the ancient Di and Qiang peoples and have close  ties with the Yis. In the historical docu<em><\/em>ments of the Qing Dynasty, the  Lahus were called &quot;Luohei&quot;, but they call themselves &quot;Lahu&quot; meaning  &quot;roast tiger&quot;. The name shows that the Lahus used to be a hunting tribe.  The Kucong people are another branch of the Lahus. After the founding  of new China, they were formally called the Lahu Nationality.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span>The Lahu language belo<em><\/em>ngs to the Yi branch of the  Tibet-Burman group of the Sino-Tibetan family. Many Lahus can speak both  Chinese and the Dai language. The written form of the Lahu language was  created by a western missionary. Later, on the basis of this system,  Romanization writing became pre<em><\/em>valent.<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span><span>The Lahus are excellent improvisators. Their music uses  reed pipes and three-stringed plucked instruments. With repeat stamping  and swaying to the left, Lahu dances are dramatic and colorful. For  example, the traditio<em><\/em>nal reed pipe dance has a<em><\/em>bout 30 to 40 styles. The  Lahus love to make Tuopuke (a riddle in the form of poetry). Celebrating  the Torch festival is traditional.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><br type=\"_moz\" \/>  <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-2986484944\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a population of 411,476, the Lahus live m close communities in Simao, Lincang in the Lanchang River Valley, Xishuanghanna<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,2836],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-culture","category-ethnic-minority"],"views":348,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6546\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
