The Hmong people originally were farmers, most living in small villages high in the mountains. They lived in these small villages and farmed all different types of crops as well as cattle and other animals. The Hmong were said to have originally came from Yangtze river basin in China. After moving from this area and migrating more south in China, they adapted to the mountain areas of Southern China and adapted to this area. After moving, the Hmong really started to become a more agriculturally based society.
Today, the Hmong have adapted to the country's society in which they live. Although they adapted to the main culture, they still maintain strong cultural bonds to their heritage and ethnicity by engaging in various ethnic activities. Doing this allows for the cultural survival of the Hmong throughout the world and the countries in which they live.
Although the Hmong have kept various aspects of their culture, they have acquired many other various jobs and traits. Handbag making has became a large source of the Hmong income in China and Laos. Hmong handbags have become very famous and are known throughout the world.
