Music is one element of culture, both folk and popular. Follow this link to hear a courtship song of the Miao (in China) during the Mountain Flower Festival. My favorite quote from the NPR article that accompanies the song- "Even if someone is very ugly, the main thing is if they can sing, then they might be able to show love. People who are too good-looking just love themselves." Just remember that as Valentine's Day approaches.

love song - Select "Hear Yin Xiufan sing"
