Dear Distinguished Colleagues

We are pleased to inform you that the International Symposium on Buckwheat and the Dietary Culture of the Yi People, will be held in Xichang, China, from 8th to 12th, August 2005. This Symposium will coincide with the Yi People’s traditional Torch Festival, which is also known as the "Eastern Carnival. During the Symposium, you can take part in the academic side of proceedings, as well as enjoy the various attractive of the Torch Festival .

Xichang, which is the capital of Lianshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, has may attractions. Aside from the beautiful natural scenery, it is also home to the Lianshan Museum of Yi People’s Slavery Society, the only museum in China devoted to the preservation of the Yi people’s culture and a very good source of research material related to the use of bitter buckwheat by the Yi people. Lugu lake, which is not far from Xichang, is home to the last remaining matriarchal society in the whole world. The Mosuo people of the region still maintain their ancient yet romantic "Axia” visiting marriage custom .The area is both an ideal place to pursue your research interests as well as a popular traveling destination. Bitter buckwheat is a special product of China’s western regions, this dietary staple of the Yi people has many health benefits; including the lowering of blood sugar and fat levels. Liangshan is the largest cultivation and research base for bitter buckwheat in the whole of China. We believe this symposium can help to promote the further utilization and development of buckwheat and that the future development of this new resource will have great benefits for the whole world. We extend a warm welcome to all and look forward to your participation.
