Jino people 基诺族


Jino people 基诺族, numbered about 23,000, are one of the official recognized ethnic group of China. The Jino were only recognized as a minority group in 1979 and as their name means in their language: "Descending from the uncle" what shows that the Jino lived in a matriarchal society until recent times, in which the maternal uncle's authority was the most important in the family. The Jino live by the Jinoshan Mountain 基诺山, in a series of mild hills with wet climate near Mengyang Township in Jinghong Municipality 景洪市 (92%), Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. They live in an area of about 70x50 km. They live in subtropical rainforest, home of elephants, wild oxen and monkeys.

The Jino language belong to the Tiberto-Burman language family but very few, especially among the young generations, of them speak the language today and most adopted the Chinese writing. The Jino are mostly Animists and Buddhists.

Distribution of Jino people

Most Jino live within the Jinoshan 基诺山 (red circle). The Lancang River (blue) is nearby and becomes Mekong River when it enters Laos

Jinoshan 基诺山, one of the 7 tea mountains in Yunnan The Jino live by this mountain for thousands of years and today it's full of tea plantations, natural planted or man planted. Tea growing and processing become the biggest cash income for the Jino

创世女神 The goddess of mother nature for the jino

View from a different angle

A symbol of vitality for the Jino - a totem pole in front of every community house of a village

Every village has a community house for all village affairs and occasions. These giant drums are always here

There's an old southern Chines saying :舅公大過雷公 in which loosely translated: Your granduncle (your maternal grandmother's brother) is biggest than the god of thunder. In another word he's the boss of the extended family. Even though the Jino are not matrimonial anymore but the old tradition persisted. Uncles from the mothers sides are well respected, more so than your father's brothers.


Here are some uncles of the Jino

Here's their biggest uncle, President and General Secretary Hu, who paid them a visit in 2006

The Jino built their villages on the slopes of Jinoshan facing the morning sun

An ancient village

Many houses like this are being torn down and rebuild because the incomes from tea and tourism make it possible

Some new villages even have community house like this with a big lawn

However relics like this are highly treasured

Because a Jino village is usually half way up the hill, long wooden stairs like this to reach them are very common
