A string of valley carved out by strange and anarchic mountains and arid lands, Mountains of the Moon is the name given to Guizhou, the province that lies in south-eastern China. This book is dedicated to the Miao, who make up the largest ethnic group of the region. It portrays their lives throughout the different seasons as well as their culture - including poems, songs, festivals and legends.
The book's images preserve a people still living in a time preceding modern culture; their traditions have been maintained due to the geographical remoteness of the region. This portrayal of Guizhou and its people offers the West a unique vision of China as it once was.
This title explores the province of Guizhou, one of the most undiscovered parts of China. Guizhou's people, customs and landscape are documented by unique photographs, offering a fascinating view of an ancient culture unaffected by modern day change. For those interested in China, cultural history and travel.
