xercise 2. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.
The Dao ethnic group, which has many names such as Đông, Trại, Dìu Miền, and Kim Miền, has a total
population of nearly 1 million people. They live mainly in the northern mountain provinces of Cao Bang, Ha
Giang, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Lai Chau and Tuyen Quang and the midland provinces of Phu Tho, Vinh Phuc, and
Hoa Binh.
A small number of the Dao group, who traditionally live in the northern mountain provinces, have
migrated to the Central Highlands. There are many subgroups differentiated by habits, customs, and
costumes, for example, the Red Dao, Dao Quần Chẹt, Dao Lo Ga, White Pants Dao, and Dao Thanh Y. Each
Dao group is easily identified by their costumes. Generally, a woman’s costume includes a shirt, skirt,
headscarf, a pair of leggings, and jewellery. A man wears a short shirt with a line of buttons. Doctor Vo Mai
Phuong of the Viet Nam Museum of Ethnology says: “The Red Dao people wear red costumes from top to
toe. They have red shirts, leggings, pants, headscarves, and belts. The Dao Tien are the only Dao group who
wear skirts embroidered with the images of coins. The Dao Quan Chat are also called Sơn Đầu, which
means painted head, because the women shave off their hair, paint their heads, and cover their heads with
traditional headscarves. The White Pants Dao always wear white pants.”
The Dao have maintained their traditional culture in costumes and language. Although they include
many groups living in many different localities, they speak one language.
Social development and integration have affected many ethnic minority customs, but the Dao people
have maintained their unique cultural values and in doing so have helped to preserve and promote the
culture of Vietnam’s 54 ethnic groups.
