Shimenkan Miao Christmas Eve Shimenkan is located in Weining County, Bijie Prefecture, Guizhou, a poor mountainous area where the Dahua Miao people live. Shimenkan Miao Christmas Eve is unique in Guizhou Province and even in the whole of China. Why do the Miao people in Shimenkan celebrate Christmas Eve? It is because of the memory of a British missionary named Burgley who came to Shimenkan in 1904. Burghley invented this writing together with the Miao and Han people here. It was the patterns on these clothes that inspired him. This script is called "Porah" by the United Nations. Also known as "Dahua Miaowen",
