Excerpt from Songs and Stories of the Ch'uan Miao: With 24 Plates At first the Ch'uan Miao were very reluctant to give information abou beliefs and customs. They often told me that previously they had rarely such information to Chinese or Westerners and that when they were aske gave evasive answers. But during the years of contact with these people, warm friendship grew up between us, and they helpful. Without their assistance it would have be study of their language and customs. They gave me or great and kindly teacher, and they always welcomed me to their homes. Eral times they met me with bugles and banners, later giving banquets to 8110' their friendly welcome. They permitted me to take pictures freely, gave me ti information I wanted, and helped me collect stories and songs and learn the language. Some of them sold to me, for the West China Union Universi1 Museum, beautiful embroidered garments that were heirlooms. I am Sincere and deeply grateful to my Ch'uan Miao friends for their assistance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
