Sharing a joke
The Ge Jia are expert embroiderers using rich coloured threads - usually of silk - as well as artists with the wax knife creating very fine white and indigo fabric using a wax resist. The Chinese authorities classify the Ge Jia as a Miao sub-group but they like to think of themselves as a separate group.
