An entire block in Beijing Niu Jie (Cow Street) is fenced with a capital wall, decorated with a block-long poster wrapping around the block and depicting all 56 "recognized" ethnic groups of China (including Han) forming "The great united family of peoples" (民族团结大家庭). The section in this photograph shows the following ethnic groups: Gelao people (仡佬) (right) and She people 畲族 (left).

The roughly 45,000 She living in Guizhou Province form a separate subgroup, the Dongjia (东家人 Dongjia ren), who differ notably in culture from the She in other areas.[citation needed]
