Hmong people
The Hmong people has used melodic poetry (kwv txhiaj/lug txaj) and traditional textiles/story cloths (paj ntaub) to pass down their history and culture to successive generations. Contemporary Hmong songs are made up of poems using rhyme and clever word play or traditional songs. Skilled singers can gain great fame among the Hmong population across the world. Even though many Hmong people have left their homeland in China, their songs are still connected to the life they had there.
