Reader comments
My understanding of ethnic minorities was very limited before, but after reading this book, I discovered that they also have their own rich historical culture. The unique historical views and historical recording methods of some ethnic minorities mentioned in the book opened my eyes. I especially like the parts about the historical legends and myths of ethnic minorities. They make me feel the charm of different cultures. This book made me respect and appreciate the culture of ethnic minorities more, and also made me realize that we should protect and inherit these precious historical treasures.
