from Fifiteen minority groups such as Miao，bouyei and Dong have found their home in thousands of mountains and hills of Guizhou. Living in adverse environment with backward communication and blocked information, they seem to be isolated the outside world. And because of this, they created diversified primitive culture and preserved precious ethnic coultural relics. The most representative are textiles and silver ornaments.
Guizhou's terrific natural scenery and enchanting country life have attracted a lot of scholars and tourists from home and abroad. However,most minority people of Guizhou are still living in great poverty. We sincerely hope this problem can be a big concern of those who are interested in the developing area and its people.
Wang Yaxin , a professional photographer from Guiyang, Capital of Guizhou Province ,and his wife Huqin spent years in the huge mountains collecting ethnic textiles and photographing. Lots of these photos are about the country scenery and , more improtant, the condition of local ethnic people who live in poverty. We are now showing the photos here and hope to have co-operation with people who have interest in old textile sales or helping project for local people.
