滇南彝族尼苏人(以下简称“滇南尼苏人”)同其他地区彝族支系及兄弟民族一样,有悠久的历史,灿烂的文化。滇南尼苏人,尤其是滇南红河两岸彝族尼苏人更为典型,因为他们向来把唱山歌和恋歌及跳团乐舞视为生活中的最大乐趣。 Like the other Yi ethnic groups and fraternal nationalities in other areas, the Yi people in South Yunnan (known as the “Neisu People in Yunnan Province”) have a long history and splendid culture. The Niunians in Yunnan Province, especially the Yi people and the Niosu people on both sides of the Red River in Yunnan Province, are more typical because they have always regarded the singing of folk songs and love songs as well as the dance and dance of the jumping group as their greatest pleasure in life.
