Chuanqing people
The Chuanqing people (Chinese: 穿青人; pinyin: Chuānqīngrén) are an East Asian ethnic group. According to popular ethnogenesis, they are descended from Han Chinese soldiers who were sent to Guizhou area in the eighth and ninth centuries to quell Miao rebellions. The Chuanqings, however, view themselves as a distinct ethnic group. Most of them live in the Anshun area of Guizhou province. Other locals call the Chuanqings "Da Jiao Ban" (Big Foot) or "Da Xiuzi" (Big Sleeves). They have a unique spirituality involving worship of a god called Wuxian (五显).
