1. DAI NATIONALITY A beautiful and interesting nationality

2. A brief introduction of Dai According to the data of 2006, in China, the population of Dai is 1,260,000.Most of them are living in Yunnan Province. They have their own language, calendar, drama, medical science. And the people there believe in Buddhism. They hold the idea that their belief can bring them happiness. Of course, the most well-known is their abundant culture. Dai people are good at dancing,especially the Pea- cock Dancing, singing. The scene there is also very attractive. Dai people are kind and friendly.

3. Festival There are many holidays in Dai, and the most famous is Water-Sparkling Festival. It is a little like Han’s Spring Festival, obviously, in Dai people’s mind, Water-Sparkling Festival is more important. It is held in the middle of April. At that day, the local people always wear their traditional clothes and sing and dance to show their enthusiasm. It is also a good time to show your love to a girl. If you love her, try your best to make her enjoy more water. It is interesting and romantic.

4. Religion Although they all believe in Buddhism, there are different groups. Some groups have very strict principles, the other do not demand much, the monks there can eat meat and drink. In Dai people’s point, if a man had not been a monk, he would be lack education and uncivilized, even worse, couldn’t find a good wife. So, the boys will be sent to temples when they are 7 or 8 years old. And after returning to the earthly world, they will be respected.

5. Culture --The Peacock Dancing Dai people love peacock very much and they believe it is the symbol of love and peace. They raise peacocks in their yards and observe their movements, then they create this kind of dancing. They also have many songs to describe peacock. They sing like this : oh peacock, you are love and peace, your heart is as bright as moonlight! The dancers on the ball are just like peacocks. They moving and turning. How wonderful. Their performance can bring peace to us.

6. People I am not sure every lady there are so beautiful, but indeed, they are amazing. I think the food and water there are important but not decisive factor. The key point is they know how to make them beautiful. The women are all slender and tall, so they always chose tight coat and long skirt to show their figure. At the same time, they really know how to use color to hide the unbeautiful part. All in all, Roma can not be built in one day. How lucky the Dai men are
