Day in a Life of Blang Minority
The Blang people of Jingmai Mountain reside near its highest peak, Aileng Peak. Mangjing Village, their primary settlement, includes communities like Wengji, Upper and Lower Mangjing, Manghong, Wengwa, and Nanai. Jingmai Mountain is known as a “tea mountain,” and the Blang people have a rich history of tea cultivation.
Optimistic, hardworking, and creative, the Blang have a unique culture that includes distinctive clothing, traditional songs, and the “one bud, two leaves” motif, which adorns their rooftops as a nod to their connection with tea. Known for their warm hospitality, they greet one another not with “How are you?” but with “Come, have tea!”
Tea is deeply interwoven with every aspect of their lives.
