Abstract: | China is a united multi-ethnic country boasting a long history.All ethnic groups have jointly contributed to the development of their motherland.For thousands of years,various ethnic groups living on the Chinese land have formed an interdependent pattern of unity in diversity.During this long historical process,different ethnic groups of China have settled among each other,with compact communities here and there.
All ethnic groups have jointly created the splendid Chinese culture.There are not only a large number of works reflecting the creative endeavors and diverse life of various ethnic groups,but also the creations of various ethnic authors.Among the Chinese items in-cluded in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,ethnic minorities' contributions account for one third. |
