① There are 56 ethnic（民族的）groups in China. Different ethnic groups have their own special cultures. Let's enjoy some of them.
②The Bai people use a very old way, tie-dye（扎染）, to dye clothes. Tie-dye has a history of nearly 1,500 years. During the Tang and Song dynasties, people chose tie-dyed clothes as gifts.
③The Mongolian people live in the Mongolian yurts（蒙古包）. These yurts are large round tents and their tops look like umbrellas. They are the traditional homes of the Mongolian people. The yurts are usually white because they're made of sheep's wool. And white is a symbol of happiness.
④The Zhuang people like singing even more than talking. On the third day of the third Chinese lunar（阴历的）month, they hold a big singing festival. It is thrillingand wonderful. Men and women singers sing in pairs. The winners are the "king" and "queen" of singing.
⑤The Miao people have a special festival, Manghao Festival. It's in the first Chinese lunar month every year. The Miao people regard Manghao as a hero who helped to protect their homes. At the festival, young men dress up like Manghao and touch others to send good wishes.
