278 pages The Yao, a non-Han minority moved many centuries ago from the Yang Tse basin to southern China, Northern Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Their strong Taoist beliefs, seen in their magnificent paintings, helped them survive as a society with strong traditions, despite having no country of their own. Distinctive dress and silver jewellery also help to define their various sub-groups. This magnificently illustrated book, based on 12 years of fieldwork, covers all aspects of Yao culture. 677 POU t9748225526 Lasalle College Jakarta Library Catalogue 677 POU t FD10354 Fashion Design 677 POU t 1763 2018-11-14 10:16:08 2018-11-14 10:16:58 machine generated
