"Fifty-six ethnic groups are family members" is a famous saying of China, which emphasizes the unity and mutual support among the 56 different ethnic groups in China. This famous saying means that all ethnic groups in China should unite as one family, * * * should make joint efforts to develop and progress, and * * * should safeguard national unity and security.

This famous saying has something to do with the special ethnic composition of China. China is a multi-ethnic country, with 56 ethnic groups, of which the majority are Han, and the other 55 ethnic groups are ethnic minorities. In order to maintain national unity and stability, China has always emphasized unity and mutual support among ethnic groups, which is also one of the important principles of China's ethnic policy.
