my country's ethnic minority areas are vast and sparsely populated. Many ethnic minorities live in mountainous areas, plateaus, pastoral areas and forest areas. They are rich in product resources and play a key role in my country's modernization drive. extremely important position.

Due to the numerous ethnic migrations in history, immigration to guard the border, and changes in dynasties, the population changes have caused the distribution of ethnic groups in my country to form a situation where various ethnic groups live together and live in groups. Some ethnic minorities have one or several settlement areas and are scattered throughout the country. There are approximately more than 10 million people scattered in towns and villages in various provinces and cities across the country. The various ethnic minorities not only influence each other in terms of economic, political and cultural life, but also have close ties with the Han people.
