Abstract
The People’s Republic of China is a huge nation occupying approximately one fifth of the world’s landmass. Its population is also large, approaching one thousand two hundred million. Approximately 92% of the total population is Chinese. Non-Chinese are generally referred to as minority groups. This paper focuses on the study of the upper Miao tribe’s life style, which lives in the mountains and traditionally puts shifting cultivation and huntaing into practice. That is according to grasp their traditional Culture. For, Japanese and the upper Miao tribe live together under the same natural environment. So, I selected two typical Miao’s settlements and studied their life style in detail.
