TheJino (also spelledJinuo) people (simplified Chinese:基诺族;traditional Chinese:基諾族;pinyin:Jīnuòzú, endonym:[citation needed]) are aTibeto-Burmanethnic group. They form one of the56 ethnic groups officially recognized by thePeople's Republic of China. They live in an area called the Jino Mountains (Jinuoshan 基诺山) in easternJinghong,Xishuangbanna,Yunnan province.[1]
The Jino are one of the less numerous of the recognized minorities in China and the last one included as "national minority" because they were only recognized in 1979.[2] A former name used for the Jino,Youle, means "following the maternal uncle," an indication of amatrilineal past.[2]
The Jino have a population of 20,900 people according to the census of the year 2000.[1] Most of the Jino concentrate in Jinoshan, in a series of mild hills with wet climate near Mengyang Township in Jinghong Municipality, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. They live in an area of about 70x50 km. They live in subtropical rainforest, home of elephants, wild oxen and monkeys.[citation needed]
Among their cultural practices istooth painting, in which soot made from pear trees is used.[3]
