China's 56 Ethnic Groups/ les 56 groupes ethniques de Chine

copy and paste from neatorama's blog post:
The vast majority (>90%) of Chinese are Han Chinese. The remainder are distributed among 55 other ethnic groups. This diversity was awkwardly displayed during the opening ceremonies of the last Olympic games, when a parade of 56 children representing those groups was later revealed to have been comprised of 56 Han Chinese children wearing the ethnic clothing of the other groups.
Now there is a photoessay which appears to correct that gaffe. All of the ethnic groups are portrayed in professionally composed group portraits, with the subjects wearing traditional dress and often carrying traditional instruments or tools. Pictured above as an example are the ethnic Kirgiz; the others are at the link. It’s an impressive photo gallery.

la vaste majorité des chinois sont des Hans, le reste est composé des 56 autres ethnies. On a pu en avoir un aperçu pendant la cérémonie d'ouverture des derniers JOs à Beijing, avec la parade des 56 enfants tous Hans mais portant les costumes des autres groupes.
Voici une galerie de portraits des toutes les ethnies qui composent la Chine, en costumes traditionnels, souvent avec les instruments de musiques et/ou des outils. En illustration, à droite, l'ethnie YUGUR, cliquez sur le lien pour accéder aux autres photos, dans la galerie. Ça vaut vraiment le coup d'oeil.
