An Introduction to Daur Nationality
With a population of 132,400, Daur live in the Morindawa Daur Autonomous County and the Ewenki Autonomous County in Inner Mongolia. Some of them live in Heilongjiang Province and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. They are descendants of Khitan, an ancient nationality in China in Liao Dynasty. The Daur language belongs to the Mongolian group of the Altaic language family. The Daur engage in agriculture with animal husbandry and hunting as a sideline. Rich folk literature was well preserved. Their skills in embroidery, paper-cut and toys making are handed down for generations. Wrestling, horse racing and archery are their favorite sports. Their hometown is known as "home of hockey." Daur people believe in Shamanism.
