Mostly live in deep mountain areas of Sichuan province, a deep & relatively enclosed province, Qiang people have long period of been neglected until The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake， which hit the Qiang people area seriously, as Wenchuan, Maoxian County, Beichuan are all the areas most severely distroied places.
After the earthquake, many people came to help them rebuilt home, they ultimately realized that these areas were so special and so deep that have too long time been hidden by the dense forests of east edge mountains of Tibet plateau.
For example, one of amazing artwork of Qiang people is their embroidary.
The patterns of Qiang embroidery are mostly about natural scenery, such as flowers, birds, fish, animals, etc. These patterns usually have auspicious meanings, with bright colors, can bring you dopamine along with joy and energy.
