Miao Folk Music -- People and Nature in Harmony (2-CD set)
贵州苗族音乐--人与自然的和声（双 CD 集）          

The Miao, one of China's 55 acknowledged non-Han minorities, number more than 7 million in southwest China according to the 2000 national census, with more than half living in Guizhou province alone. Various theories trace the Miao's origins to such diverse points as Tibet and Mongolia, though their migration into the southwest has been more firmly estimated between the late Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC) and the early Han (206 BC-220 AD). Today their population outside of China, where they are more generally known as the Hmong, stretches into Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Burma -- and more recently, the United States and Australia -- but southwest China remains the ancestral homeland and the cradle of its civilization.

苗族是中国55个少数民族之一,据2000年官方统计，大约有7百万苗族人民生活在中国西南省份，其中一半以上居住在贵州省。根据不同研究，苗族的起源可追溯到藏族或蒙古族；但苗民的祖于秦代及汉代早期迁往西南地区定居。中国境外的苗族人口分布在泰国、老挝、越南、甚至美国、澳大利亚。但是中国西南地区仍然是苗族的家乡和其文化的发源地。
The Miao (or Hmong, as they are often called outside China) stretches into Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, but the people themselves trace both their ancestral homeland and their cradle of civilization back to southwest China, with more than half of their population living in Guizhou province alone.
These recordings, made both in the broadcasting studios of Guiyang and in the mountain villages of southeast Guizhou, sample some of the music that remains closest to Miao tradition. From various forms of feige (or "flying song"), where solo singers customarily call to their lovers over long distances, to ensemble music for the lusheng, a bamboo mouth organ ranges in size from less than 12 inches to more than 12 feet, this collection offers scenes from a community that even today remain apart from the encroachments of modern-day life.
This 2-CD collection contains more than 100 minutes of music and a 60-page bilingual booklet with color photographs, detailed essays and complete lyrics.


苗族源自中国西南，也有部落伸展到东南亚的泰国、老挝，越南等国家。但中国贵州省的苗族居民占整个族裔的过半人口。
这个双唱片收集了黔东南山区苗寨健在的音乐传统，包含当地实况采风，也有专门安排在贵州电台录音棚做的录音。苗族至今的音乐生活都和民族传统和悠久历史息息相关。唱片里除了最负盛名的“飞歌”（独唱者惯常与隔山远方情人的通讯方式）外，还有芦笙芒筒组曲（乐器尺寸有小到大，最短30公分，最长4公尺），木叶独奏，叙事大歌、酒歌、盘歌、游方歌和情歌等。
小册子内有中英文音乐介绍、歌词注释、彩色照片、地图。
