  • In China, there are approximately 300,000 Shui people. They are known throughout the country as good dancers. Their most popular festive dances are the "Copper Drum Dance" and the "Lusheng Dance." They also play traditional music using several instruments, such as the huqin, drums, gongs, lusheng and others. The Shui people are also known for making gorgeous handicrafts, such as paper cuttings, woodcarvings and embroideries. This minority usually dresses in black and blue with the women wearing collarless blue blouses, black trousers and aprons and the men wearing black turbans and long gowns. During festivals, the women will wear skirts and wear lots of silver, as well as put their hair up in a bun. As far as their food habits are concerned, the Shui people eat a lot of fish and rice, along with helpings of sweet potatoes, barley and corn. They also specialize in making a rice liquor. The Shui people are most likely descendants from the Luoyue people, an early tribe that lived before the Han Dynasty on China's southeastern coastline.
