Qiang minority village explore

The Qiang Language is a branch of Tibetan, and has two different dialects. People who live near roads and areas of Han and Tibet have come to learn a little Mandarin. Historically, the Qiang people adopted the use of Mandarin Chinese characters, because of their long-term communication with the Han people.



Qiang people still have their original religion. They believe that everything has anima; therefore, they worship over 30 deities. They respect four main kinds of deities: Nature, Ancestors, Deities, and Totems.
