The Han nationality has a long history and splendid culture, and has made important contributions to China's development and progress. The language of the Han Chinese is Chinese, which is one of the most spoken languages in the world.
Of the 55 ethnic minorities, 44 have established autonomous areas**. The population of ethnic minorities exercising self-government accounts for 75 per cent of the total ethnic minority population. The number and distribution of autonomous areas are basically in line with the distribution and composition of ethnic groups in China.
Although China's ethnic minority population is small, it is widely distributed. All provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government live in ethnic minorities, and the vast majority of county-level units have two or more ethnic groups living there.
China's ethnic minorities are mainly distributed in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Ningxia, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai, Sichuan, Gansu, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Hunan, Hubei, Hainan, Taiwan and other provinces and autonomous regions. Yunnan Province has the largest ethnic composition in China, with 25 ethnic groups.
According to 1982 statistics, in addition to the Han nationality, the Tibetans, Yi, Mongolians, and Uygurs all have their own languages, and about 20 ethnic minorities each have their own dialects.
China's ethnic minorities can sing and dance, and have their own unique traditional culture in literature and dance. In addition, he also has high artistic attainments in painting, carving, embroidery, etc.
In conclusion, China is a multi-ethnic country, each with its own unique culture and history. These ethnic groups respect and help each other, and jointly promote China's development and progress. In the future development, we should pay more attention to the inheritance and development of the cultures of all ethnic groups, so that the cultures of all ethnic groups can be better protected and carried forward.
