东乡族人,为我中华民族56个民族之一,不同于我们泛泛而谈的回民。在东乡的高山上采访,一个很强烈的印象,是东乡族人与四川大凉山上的彝族人,既有非常相近的地方,又有非常大的不同。相近的地方,是他们同样都居住在高山顶上;同样都能生能养,每家都一大堆孩子;同样都喜爱歌舞,彝族人载歌载舞,而东乡的花儿,与宁夏的花儿一样名满天下;同样都 Dongxiang ethnic group, as one of the 56 ethnic groups of China, is different from our general discussion of Muslims. Interviewed on the mountain of Dongxiang, a very strong impression is that there are very similarities between the Dongxiang people and the Yi people in Sichuan’s Liangshan. In a similar place, they both live on the top of a mountain. They also have the ability to support each other and a large number of children in each family. They also love singing and dancing, and the Yi people dance and singing. The flowers in Dongxiang are the same as the flowers in Ningxia All over the world
