Missions & Global Prayer

While this group call themselves "E", the Chinese call them Wuse, a derogatory name meaning "five colors." The E celebrate the traditional Chinese festivals, the most important of which are the Spring Festival and the Chinese New Year. The north-central part of Guangxi Province has long been a crossroads for various ethnic groups, including the E. Interaction between Han Chinese and minority groups has led to the intermixing of ethnic groups, including the Mulao, Maonan, and Zhuang. Although they have been classified as part of the large Zhuang nationality, the E cannot speak the Zhuang language. These groups have many Chinese customs and linguistic influences.
