In Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, families composed of “two ethnic groups” or “multiple ethnic groups” account for nearly the total number of families in the city. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks60%; as the autonomous region with the largest ethnic minority population in my country, “ethnic relations” have been the highest social development indicator with the satisfaction of the people of Guangxi for many years; while open development, all ethnic groups show that traditional culture is effectively protected and inherited… Unity promotes harmony, unity promotes development. In the 60 years since the founding of the Autonomous Region, especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Party committees and governments at all levels in Guangxi have conscientiously implemented the Party’s ethnic policies and solidly promoted ethnic work. More than 56 million people of all ethnic groups are as close as one family, united and worked together to realize the “Chinese Dream”, the economy and society of Bagui have achieved leapfrog development, and people’s lives have undergone historic changes.

Harmony, unity and family
In history, the status of various ethnic groups in Guangxi was unequal and conflicts were constantly occurring. After the founding of New China, Guangxi gradually established an equal, united, mutually helpful and harmonious relationship between the peoples of all ethnic groups. Today, Babaylan‘s national unity has become a high consensus among the people of all ethnic groups in Bagui, and has been deeply integrated into the blood of people.
There is a small Han mountain village called “Sujiazhai” in Mati Township, Longsheng Autonomous County. The natural conditions are good and the villagers live a rich life.foot. The Yao people living on the ridge opposite the village have always lived in poverty due to the harsh natural environment. After the Yao people moved down the mountain to live with the Han villagers, the two ethnic groups lived in harmony and helped each other. The entire village could almost never close their doors at night, and a moving story was performed. Hu Qiuju, secretary of the Party Committee of Mati Township, told reporters that “Sujiazhai” was later renamed “BabaylanMinhezhai”, which means national harmony.
Since ancient times, many ethnic minorities in Guangxi have not intermarried with other ethnic groups, and some even do not interact with each other. Nowadays, the concept of the masses has undergone profound changes. Census data show that Guangxi has more than 1.3 million families composed of two or more ethnic groups. Especially in places where multiple ethnic groups live in Longsheng Autonomous County and Longlin Autonomous County, “a family of nine and a family of love and five ethnic groups” can be seen everywhere.
Mutual respect, mutual assistance and closeness are like a family, which is a true portrayal of Guangxi’s ethnic relations. Chenshuang Village, Sien Town, Maonan Autonomous County lives in Chenshuang Village, Sien Town, Maonan Autonomous County, three ethnic groups: Maonan, Miao and Yao. They not only do not compete or compete, but also actively teach each other the unique planting and breeding technologies of their nations. They help each other to develop production together, and their living standards continue to improve.
Every year during the Spring Festival, Miao people in Longsheng County go to Yao villages to play the reeds, and Dong people go to Zhuang villages to sing big songs – exchange performances between neighbors of all ethnic groups have become the norm. The villagers said that although ethnic groups are different, everyone is like relatives, and the more they go, the closer they get.
In the past, many ethnic minority people only knew their own languages. Now, the popularity of Mandarin in Guangxi reaches 84%. Even in the remote mountains, only elderly people cannot speak Mandarin.

Working hand in hand to seek common development
Unity and harmony among all ethnic groups have effectively promoted the comprehensive economic and social development. The land of Bagui has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has further consolidated the material foundation of national unity: Guangxi CinemaThe regional GDP exceeded 2 trillion yuan, more than 800 times that of 60 years ago; the per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents exceeded 30,000 yuan and 10,000 yuan respectively.
Deep changes are reflected in the details of life of people of all ethnic groups. In Paifangzhai, Licha Village, Sishui Township, Longsheng County, the old Zhuang man Ben Lunhe told reporters that it was not easy to eat meat in the past. Every household had a jar on the stove, which contained a small piece of fat meat. When cooking, they picked up the meat and danced it at the bottom of the pot. They just thought it was oil, and a piece of meat should be used repeatedly. When the distinguished guests come, they will “dance” a few more times.
“Dance and two dances” have become a memory. Paifang Zhuangzhai has developed ethnic tourism, Benlun and his family opened a farmhouse, and their lives have completely changed. He said that the first thing that was eaten on the table in Komiks is the first to eat on the table at home, “no one wants to use his chopsticks because of big fish and meat.”
Due to natural and historical reasons, Guangxi’s ethnic minority settlement areas are generally poor areas. In the process of poverty alleviation, Guangxi has provided targeted support in light of the living environment, customs and resource endowments of various ethnic groups, and has achieved remarkable results in targeted poverty alleviation.
The reporter saw in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County that during the relocation of poverty alleviation, Mengwu Miao Village, located in the deep mountains of northern Guangxi, was relocated to the vicinity of the county town as a whole. The local party committee and government, in light of the needs of tourism development, dismantled the stilt houses where the villagers lived and transported them to the new site to restore and rebuilt. The new Mengwu Miao Village is integrated with the 4A-level Shuanglonggou scenic area next to it, like a pastoral landscape painting. The ethnic customs and tourist attractions are superimposed, and the Miao people are lifted out of poverty.
In Guangxi, ethnic customs have become characteristic tourism resources. The unique farming culture in the deep mountains of Longsheng County has been preserved in a relatively complete manner. The layered terraced landscape and ethnic customs have attracted a large number of tourists. More than 200 households have opened more than 120 hotels and B&Bs, all of which are full during holidays.

“I am Chinese, I am very proud”
The Beijing people located in the Beibu Gulf region are a relatively small ethnic group in my country with a total population of more than 20,000 people. For a long time, representatives of Beijing have participated in the National People’s Congress.. He Ling, a member of the Beijing clan, was elected as a representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The Beijing people are very proud to have representatives participate in the grand event of political life throughout the Party and the whole country.
Li Fuqiang, director of the Ethnic Research Center of Guangxi University for Nationalities, said: “Guangxi focuses on coordinating the relationship between adhering to the leadership of the Party and regional ethnic autonomy. Under this premise, all ethnic groups are equal regardless of size or size, and all rights in all aspects such as politics and development are fully guaranteed and respected.”
At the same time, Guangxi is also focusing on coordinating the relationship between open development and ethnic cultural protection. Up to now, Guangxi has recognized the autonomous region-level intangible cultural heritage representative projects with 618 Komiks, with 555 inheritors, and excellent national culture has been passed down. The Zhuang song and dance culture represented by “Liu Sanjie” has a wide influence at home and abroad. The Luoyue culture represents “Huashan Rock Painting” has become a world cultural heritage site. Long Shenghongyao’s long-haired dance has attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists…
A few days ago, the Maonan Phonetic Art Troupe of Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County held a five-day performance exchange in New York, USA, and was very popular. Deputy County Mayor Wei Luhua said: “While the Maonan people accelerating their open development, their national culture has been well protected and inherited. Now the Maonan people are becoming more and more confident and willing to communicate with the outside world.”
In Guangxi, by practicing the core socialist values, implementing the “Border Party Flag Red” project, and the “Prospering the Border and Rising the People” action, the people of all ethnic groups have become more solid in their sense of community for the Chinese nation. On the Sino-Vietnam border, the most beautiful scenery is a five-star red flag fluttering in the wind. Luo Wenfang, a 64-year-old Beijing-nation man from Chengwei Village, Jiangping Town, Dongxing City, became rich by engaging in border trade. Since 1988, he spontaneously raised high flagpoles in front of his home, insisting on hanging five-star red flags every day, which has never changed in 30 years. Luo Wenfang told reporters: “I am Chinese, I am very proud.”
