This book compiled by Liu Xueqin presents colorful ethnic faces to readers including their history and development, customs, and intelligence, etc. Each ethnic group has its distinctive features which cannot be replaced; constrained of the length limits, the book may lose some contents or may be not very detailed. But the books of describing ethnic groups of bilingual language in China are still rare, thus its existence is pretty necessary; its value on introducing Chinese ethnic groups is also obvious. It can be used as a brief simple reading for western learners knowing cultures of Chinese ethnic groups and for Chinese university students learning English. On contents arrangement, each ethnic group introduction includes history, custom, festival, costume, diet, construction, medicine, cultural art, sports, specific products, and taboo for readers comparison and understanding.
