Opening Ceremony for The Third National Joint Art Performance of Ethnic Groups

Chinahas a diverse ethnic cultural spectrum. Yet, given the vastness of thecountry's territory, few people are fortunate enough to experiencefirst-hand all these ethnic cultures. But now here's a greatopportunity to get insight into Chinese minority cultures. The ongoingThird Joint Art Performance of Chinese Ethnic Groups serves as agathering in Beijing of the ancient songs, dances, and other cultural performances of all the 56 ethnicities in China.

The Joint Art Performance of Chinese Ethnic Groups serves to bring together some 1200ethnic minority performers from all over the country. Many of theperformances are original and centuries-old, reflecting not only theculture of each ethnicity, but also the nation's achievements inunearthing and preserving traditional ethnic art and culture.

Duringthis grand ethnic art performance, audiences will be able to experiencefor the first time many endangered ethnic arts, like this Mongolianhoomi, which is a throat-singing art unique to the Mongolian people. Inhoomi, a performer sings two musical parts at the same time, which isvery rare to see. In addition to this, there will also be many otherprimitive art performances from various ethnicities from differentparts of the country, including ancient folk singing styles that can befound nowhere else in the world.

Upon seeing this performance, you will understand why the Chinese culture is so charming and attractive to the world.
