Bai people
The Bai people hold the colour white in high esteem and call themselves "Baipzix" (', Baizi, 白子), "Bai'ho" (', Baihuo, 白伙), "Bai yinl" ("", Baini, 白尼) or "Miep jiax". "Bai" literally means "white" in Chinese. In 1956, the Chinese authorities named them the Bai nationality according to their preference.
