少数民族以酒为贵，家家户户都有着各种自酿的美酒，他们将水稻、玉米、苦荞、青稞等自家的粮食与山上清纯而甜美的泉水一起酿成沁人心脾的美酒。
For ethnic minorities alcohol is very valuable, and each family has a variety of self-brewed spirits, made of rice, corn, buckwheat, barley and other grains that grown in the mountains and made together with the sweet spring, that make it refreshing.
各民族酒也不近相同，不论是口感纯厚的彝族“杆杆酒”，略带青味的藏族“青稞酒”；还是香醇浓郁的纳西族“客酒”，营养丰富的蒙古族“马奶酒” ......都是他们喜庆节日时用来招待客人的佳酿。

酒，如同一块三棱镜，将少数民族人民平淡的生活，折射出绚丽缤纷的色彩。
Alcohol is like a prism, reflects in colors the life of ethnic minorities.
对于他们，酒绝不是一种单纯的饮料，它是云南少数民族悠久的历史和灿烂的文化相掺和，并经漫长岁月“发酵”、“蒸馏提纯”而来的玉液琼浆。
For them, it is not just a simple beverage, but long history and splendid cultural blending, the good wine that passed through the long years of "fermentation" and "purification".

They are not only good at making spirits, but also fond of drinking, and that habits are also very interesting.
无论是象征团结、吉祥的哈尼族的“街心酒”，还是傣族边舞边饮的“竹管酒”，抑或是饮酒贺年的彝族“姑娘酒”......每个村寨的喝酒习俗都能让你惊叹。
