Xiaoliangshan Nosu in China
SHAOW-loong-shahn NOR-soo
Prior to 1949, the Xiaoliangshan Nosu practiced a system of slavery. Xiaoliangshan Nosu society is a complex system of castes, tribes and clans. In 1957, 80% of the Nosu were slave owners. Today there are still class tensions and resentments from that bygone era. There are only a few Xiaoliangshan Nosu believers scattered over a widespread area.
