Mountain song of the Yao people 瑶族 of Guangdong, China
A performance of You Hai Ge 《尤嗨歌》, a ge tang ge (歌堂歌) mountain song of the Pai Yao (排瑶) people of Guangdong, China.
The song, which is sung here by Tangluoguwu (唐罗古五, b. 1968), is introduced by whistling, and accompanied by a buffalo or cow horn (niujiao, 牛角 or niujiaohao, 牛角号), a flat gong, and a long drum that is called changgu (长鼓) in Chinese or wangdu (汪嘟) in the local Yao language, played by three additional performers, who also provide supporting vocals on occasion.
Filmed in the Wudang Mountains (武当山) just south of Shiyan (十堰市) in northwestern Hubei province, central China, as part of the finals of the 6th China Original Folk Song Competition (第六届中国原生民歌大赛), c. September 9, 2012.
The performers are from Liannan Yao Autonomous County (连南瑶族自治县), Qingyuan (清远市), northern Guangdong province, southern China. This is the area Chinese composer Liu Tieshan (刘铁山) visited in 1951, the local music he heard there inspiring him to write his 1952 piece Dance of the Yao People (Yao Zu Wu Qu) 《瑶族舞曲》, composed with fellow Chinese composer Mao Yuan (茅沅, b. 1926).
Tangluoguwu, who has spent his life actively learning, collecting, and teaching Yao musical traditions, is a province-level Representative Transmitter (传承人) of Pai Yao folk singing, and a kind of ambassador for Pai Yao music to the rest of China and the world.
Numbering about 2.6 million, the Yao (Yao zu, 瑶族 in Chinese) are an ethnic group speaking a variety of languages in the Hmong-Mien language family. They live primarily in mountainous areas of the China's southwest and south, as well as in Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and the United States. The Yao call themselves Mien, Mian, or Iu Mien, which means people.

Shi Pan Village Boxing, Guangdong Province III [广东: 石盘村 拳法 III]
Practice of Boxing from Shi Pan Village.
Along the North Coast of Guangdong Province just south of Chaozhou and Shantou lies Pu Ning County/city....in which lies Shi Pan Village. Here in addition to the rare Tiger Lion Dancing, they practice an old traditional chinese boxing. This art is thought by some to be the same as practiced by Huang Linjiao (Master from Hai Feng which lies further south from Shi Pan village on the way to Hui Zhou) who was the teacher of Lin Qingyuan (father of Dragon Style Founder Lin Yaogui (Lum Yiuguai) and Lin He (Teacher of Zhong Li Quan (Cheung Lai Chun), founder of Bai Mei).
The techniques are raw but show similarities to core Dong JIang (White Eyebrow and Dragon) methods.

Excessive Mining Causing Heavy Metal Pollution in Crops

Some of China's farmland has been contaminated
y heavy metal due to excessive mining enabled by
the lack of government control. Experts say that
such mining exploits small and medium-scale mines
at the cost of the natural environment.
Some polluted land will take 100 years to recover.
On Feb 22, China Economic Weekly revealed
the severity of heavy metal pollution in farmland
caused by excessive mining.
Gejiu, a county-level city Yunnan Province,
is known as 「tin city」.
With a population of more than 450,000, Gejiu's
tin reserves at over 900,000 tons account for
1/3 of the national total and 1/6 of global stock.
Due to the lack of government control,
as people profit from this natural bounty,
the accompanying toxic heavy-metal arsenic produced
in the mining process is left untreated,
causing cancer among residents. As a result,
the average life expectancy of Gejiu
is less than 50 years.
Local residents have to purchase water and vegetables
hundreds of miles away.
Research data released by the Institute of Geographic
Sciences and Natural Resources Research shows that
1.167 million tons of arsenic produced in mining
has been discharged into China's environment by 2008.
In 2001, a tailing dam in Guangxi's Huanjiang Maonan
Autonomous County collapsed in a major flood.
The floodwater laced with heavy metals inundated
fields along the 100-kilometer Diaojiang River.
By 2004, 60% of the contaminated land was not yet
farmable. Experts worry, if the polluted water
entered the Pearl River system,
hundreds of millions of people would be affected.
The environment will take 100 years to recover.
Other areas including Human, Sichuan, and Guizhou
also suffer from heavy metal pollution.
China's Ministry of Land and Resources estimated,
each year 12 million tons of grain in the country
was contaminated, enough to feed 40 million people.
Luo Zhongwei, a researcher with the Institute of
Industrial Economics, believes local government,
which was given the power to ratify the exploitation
of small and medium-scale mines by the CCP central
government in 1980s, should be held accountable for
the chaotic situation in the country's mining industry,
which is ill regulated and lacks overall planning.
Exposed mining waste is another source of pollution.
In Gejiu, hundreds of thousand tons of arsenic waste
has been left uncovered and untreated for decades.
The heavy metals are absorbed by crops through water
and soil pollution, causing local produce to contain
arsenic 100 times over the safety level.
A scientist told China Economic Weekly that he was
invited to examine the heavy metal pollution
in one of China's major grain production areas.
He was shocked by the result and gave the report
to a senior official, who said,
the situation is serious.
But we can do nothing about it.
Please don't tell others that I've read the report.
Investigation reveals that several scientific reports
by the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural
Resources Research may have been covered up.
Such reports showed severe arsenic contamination
in Guangdong's Liannan, Guangxing's Nandan,
and Hunan's Changning, Changde, and Chenzhou.
Arsenic concentration found in crops in those areas
was hundreds of times over the national safety level.
However, both the Hunan National Grain Quality
Control Center and the Hunan Grain and Oil Products
Quality Control Station denied that any test on
heavy metal contamination in crops was ever conducted.

Dzao Min language | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Dzao Min language
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
