Where is the Hani nationality in Mengzi?

In the area between Ailao Mountain and Mengle Mountain in southwest Yunnan, there are Hani people in Xinping, Zhenyuan, Mojiang, Yuanjiang and Honghe counties.

1. The Hani people have their own language and three dialects, which are very different from each other and cannot communicate with each other. Hani people had no characters before, and it was not until 1957 that they created pinyin characters based on Latin letters. "Smelly color is strong color" is a relatively complete mythical epic with the widest spread and the deepest influence in Hani areas.

2. Hani villages are mostly built in mountainous areas and semi-mountainous areas with an altitude of 1000 meters to 2500 meters. Houses are generally civil structures, with flat wooden walls and four slopes.

3. The development of Hani society is unbalanced. Adjacent to the Han area, it entered the feudal society since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The area near the Dai nationality was ruled by the feudal lords of the Dai nationality. Some areas still have some characteristics of the original rural commune land ownership.

4. The Hani nationality still retains the joint system of father and son, which reflects the establishment of patriarchy.

5. Hani people are mainly agricultural and good at growing tea. Hani people have a long history of growing tea, and the tea production in Hani areas has accounted for one-third of Yunnan's total output.

6. Hani people believe in polytheism and worship their ancestors. Traditional festivals mainly include October Festival (New Year) and June Festival. In addition, like the Han nationality, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival are also celebrated.
