She ethnic group

As early as the 7th century, the She people settled in Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. At that time, they survived primarily through agriculture and hunting. Now their main staples include: rice, corn, beans, and potatoes. These areas are also abundant in tea, mushrooms and precious medicinal herbs.

The She people enjoy singing and most sing impromptu. It is said that, during the wedding ceremony, the bridegroom will only receive each dish and dishware by singing. For example, if he needs a pair of chopsticks, he must sing the Song of Chopstick.
