Though the hmong certainly have preserved their culture for so long it has both positive and negative impacts. Because of our unwilling to change with the rest of the world, today we are behind in everything. As far as the “war between the hmong and Chinese” u can’t really hate the Chinese even these days.

I probably have a few clips of them speaking in their language, but most of them were speaking in Mandarin or trying to say an English word or two if they saw us.
Wow! That was a really nice video. The wooden architecture was beautiful. The Hmong are 100% Chinese people, even though there were bad times for them under the Qing dynasty. So many live in Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. Their DNA shows mostly north Han, south Han, with a little Mongol and SE Asian admixture which is to be expected after so many thousands of years settling through much of China. They are a wonderful people and are no less Chinese than Fujians, Guangxinese, Cantonese, etc. who all have their own languages and customs, too. In many cases Hmong have more Han DNA than other groups considered Han.
They were the original Aborigine people in China, before China annexed them. That's why, they choose to live in the most Remote mountain in the world that no ones wants to live and adapt it to land. Look at high mountains of Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
It is the government's effort to relocate the Mio tribe from the mountain to the valley. Valley population is very new but in the mountain, yes, hundreds of years.
As you know this people are everywhere in the states if you look carefully of they clothing especially during the new year time it’s kinda related to the Hmong American of the United States and it’s true perhaps some people have researched it
The romanised script for the Miao language (and other minority ones) are a sign they didn't have their own written script, and were given one to preserve their spoken histories. This was back in the 60s when the National Minorities were registered (56 out of 180 made the cut, the other 130 were subsumed into a new ethnic group that became the world's largest overnight -the Han, who themselves speak 200 languages, have huge cultural, historic and DNA differences among them). For decades the National minorities were studied and their cultures, folklore and history recorded, and have always been exempted from the one child rule in order to protect their numbers. It's a mixed bag about cultural preservation, as a lot was done - but a lot of the more unsavoury aspects were undone (eg the practice of slavery among the Musuo, serfdom and human sacrifice among Tibetans, child brides everywhere, inc the Han etc). The fine line is where the Party decides to stop, eg the new suppression of hijab/ halal etc in Xinjiang right now.
This particular "romanized" script is known as the Pollard Script named after famed English missionary who was very active in Miao regions in the 19th and early 20th century. Similarly, French missionaries developed the Roman Popular Alphabet (RPA) script half a century later in Laos more commonly used in the West.
@@wonderfulchina1344 no? Never said that 😂 I’m just telling u the names we call ourselves in our language. And the name Miao doesn’t even exist for shit 😂 also the name Hmong isn’t just used in Yunnan but also in Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guangxi.
I really want to know if there are really any connection between the hmong and the miao people. I am hmong and my mom told me miao was a derrogative name given to us to mock us since miao sounds like meow, the voice a cat makes. I don't really know where she got this from but I have always kept this in mind. On the other hand I have also heard that hmong people and miao people are one and the same except miao people stay in China while hmong people migrated to laos, then eventually Thailand , France and the United States after the secret war. I'm really interested in how we hmong people came to be because nobody knows 100% even if hmong scholars say that they do. Its all based on words or something else. But no solid proof. Its probably hard to find solid proof now since I know hmong people didn't document things. Our seniors only kept things by memory of word too. So it's hard to prove it. Even till this day when a person passes away we have to find out where that person lived in their life to guide them back to their home through shamanism. Since our moms, dads, granmdas and grandpas never kept anything written we would typically have to find out how they lived through their brothers, sisters or sometimes parents. I could recognise their clothes right away. It looks just like some tribal hmong clothes. It doesn't look exactly the same, but very close to what the people were wearing in this video. Only some tribes look like it though , not all tribes.
Miao means rice seedling，and has nothing to do with meow, which sounds very different in Chinese. To be honest, I’m offended by your ignorant comment. Hmong and Miao are one and the same, majority of them stayed in China, some went abroad, not out of persecution. Many Han Chinese went overseas to seek opportunities too, and there are many many Han Chinese that settled in Southeast Asia. Hmong actually sounds more offensive, as it means blind or illiterate in Chinese
What you said there was back in the day in Laos when it was racial and discrimination from the Lao people. They change the word Miao to meow because they haters us hmong at the time.
Miao is the name of the Chinese Han people, there is no discrimination, and it has nothing to do with cats. Ancient Chinese books are about the origin of the Miao ethnic group, but they are no different from myths and legends, so they are not credible. So go back and ask the elders of your family what the myths and legends of the Miao people are like. -From Google Translate, so it might be weird to read.
A few years ago. I've also read that "Miao" was a term/name to make fun of the Hmong, because they sound like cats. But I guess other people in the comments says different. Miao and Hmong are the same.
Great history on our people. Excellent research. To make things easy and simple for many, we and other ethnic groups outside of China descended from China. We share the same common nation, similar customs, traditions, language, clothing that separates us from other ethnic groups as well as the main Chinese groups. This is even more apparent now when the advances in technology. Listening to a Miao speak you can hear traces of Hmong languages. This is very common to where the family/clan chooses to live. Hence Those that live in Vietnam carries their tone. Even now, you can hear the integration of American Hmong vs French Hmong. What is different is the migration of the groups southward to other nations. And with the migration comes the derogatory use of the word Meo, similar in tone to Miao, used mainly by the Vietnamese and its brother Laos. As someone stated below, this labels our group as Savages, uncivilized (whatever the fck that implies for these underdeveloped nations). It is almost the complete opposite to why we are called Hmong in the first place..."Free" men. Even during the early migration into US we were called and taunted by this name by both the Laotion and Vietnamese communities. Those loyal to the communist regime and those that remember our part in the War hated us with extreme prejudice. So many today, especially kids, fortunately don't know this and didn't have to suffer through them. This identity of "Free" men is crucial as it is heart of the old ways where our people were nomadic and despised rule and control. This is one of the main factors that the main Chinese clans push these ethnics group southward. This lifestyle can still be seen around the world with many other cultures, not just Hmong. So many in US only associate their views and history to that of Laos and Thailand. Our people the Miao and eventually the Hmong have settled into various Southeast countries, adopting and mixing our way of life with that of the nation we are living in. It is incredibly short-sighted, irresponsible and inaccurate to assume we are because of Laos and Thailand. This is far from the truth and history of our people. Dare I challenge that the Miao/Hmong in China is more accessible today than some others in different parts of the world. Take for example French Guiana. Getting there is a challenge and not from the cost alone but the transportation to get there. But as with any Hmong group that settles in a different part of the world they adapt and make a life out of it. The group in French Guiana is particularly unique because of the harsh jungles, natives and economic way of life. But as stated previously, they have adapted and is now one of the largest agricultural group for many of the cities there, even providing education to the locals and natives. Their education level is exceeding that of the locals and natives. This is what it means to be Hmong.
I always asking what is going on in the border of China and Vietnam , I seen the videos of hmoob or hmoong that boys grabbing girls by forces since in the videos , they comment in their dialects I don’t understand at if anyone here can explain
@@wonderfulchina1344 thank you , yes it is , even in ancient times no men grabbing women as they like , only bandits did that , yet another modern country somewhere karthystan still stealing or kidnapping brides with forces for marrying , like you said it is unacceptable acts
I am hmong and although I wasn't born in that part of the world it still happens to this day. One just happened a couple of years ago and it broke news to all the hmong people here in the west. I don't think it's done a lot anymore, but just letting you know that we hmong of the west and even our parents do not condone that act anymore. We do not do it in america and I don't think many people are doing it anymore in Asia anymore too because of how America has influenced us and educated us during the vietnam war and general vang pao's time. General vang pao did have many wives but in the end he stayed with his last wife only and from what I know he didn't force any girl to marry him. I THINK the many marriages was done to strengthen the bond between two families more than anything else.
