Xianjian Qixia Zhuan

The Miao people featured in the game are a real nation, one of the 56 officially recognized ethnic minorities of People's Republic of China (there are also Miao people in Vietnam and Laos). They speak their own language (some linguists consider it unrelated to Chinese) and have their own culture and traditions. Also, the distinction between White and Black Miao really exists and is not an invention of the game. However, portraying Black Miao as usurpers and generally "bad guys" is part of the game's fictional storyline.
