For this postings. most images drawn from people outside China. Nevertheless these tribes have larger number of them living in China. The reason for doing so is, these minority tribes residing in China have over-married the Han Chinese. Hence it is very rare for them to be blond. 

Hmong



The Hmong are called Miao in Chinese. They live primarily in southern China, in the provinces of Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hainan, Guangdong, and Hubei. Some members of the Miao sub-groups, most notably Hmong people, have migrated out of China into Southeast Asia (northern Vietnam, Laos, Burma (Myanmar) and Thailand). Following the communist takeover of Laos in 1975, a large group of Hmong refugees resettled in several Western nations, such as the United States, France, Australia, and elsewhere. Their demographics are as below.

China: 9.6 millions
Vietnam: 787,604 (1999)
Laos: 460,000 (2005)
France: 13,000 (including 3,000 in French Guiana)
United States: 209,866 (2006)[1]
Thailand: 151,080 (2002)

According to Chinese legend, the Miao who descended from the Jiuli tribe led by Chiyou (Chinese: 蚩尤 pinyin: Chīyóu) were defeated at the Battle of Zhuolu (Chinese: 涿鹿 pinyin: Zhuōlù, a defunct prefecture on the border of present provinces of Hebei and Liaoning) by the military coalition of Huang Di (Chinese: 黃帝 pinyin: Huángdì) and Yan Di, leaders of the Huaxia (Chinese: 華夏 pinyin: Huáxià) tribe as the two tribes struggled for supremacy of the Yellow River valley.


Hmong original homeland. 


The Chinese have a lot of Hmong blood.

It is rare to find blond Hmong people in China as they inter mixed with Han Chinese. The blond Hmong people are found mostly in isolated hill areas of South East Asia. Nevertheless, most Hmong have black hair.

The Hmong languages are deemed as a language group by itself by western linguist. Chinese linguist classified them under Sino-Tibetan. Numbers 1-10 in Hmong as below

Interesting. We know among the Caucasoid, there are blonde to black. Now you have shown that among Mongoloid there are also blond to brown. Have you done any research on the Negroid? Are there any blonde Negroid?

Veritas said...

There is. But Negroid blond is not my priority now.

I got more interesting thing to write.

i guess the mongoloids could claim them as legitimate blond mongoloids, because even if some hmong and mongol have a little caucasian blood (tocharian or something), the blond ones look too asian, with light hair only

The genes for blonde hair and blue eyes came probably from the indoeuropean scythic people, who even reached the pacific (Ordos culture). In western china, you find till this day blonde haired european looking mummies in the taklamakan desert. They were probably celto-scythis europeans.
After they got conquered, the men were slaughtered and the women .... well, you know how it ended. This is the reason, there are till this day blonde asian people in this region.

Bottom line, blonde hair and blue eyes did not evolve seperately among asians. It is an admixture.

Omg my mom always said we originate from Mongolians but I never believed her. The children in the pictures have the same hair and eyes color as me. This is amazing. I feel like I found my family.

In Mongolia some children look blond if they are young. With the growing age their hair colour turns to dark. It's not rare. All my nieces and nephews (3-th generation) had blond hair and light skin as babies. As they grown up their skin colour is more beige or darker and their hair is dark too. Only one 4-th generation boy was born with dark hair. I think we (2-d generation) were like him too. I must say, my family is not kasakh, also mongolian. 2. But my mother have blue eyes.

There are white people in Sub-Sahara Africa born to black Africans. As the blonde in non-blonde people, this is a phenomenon caused by reemergence of features inherited along with recessive genes. They are not rule, but exception, very very very rare indeed. So they are not blonde people.
Hmong people belong to the Mongoloid race with black hair. Though many change their hair colour by dying them, including children. Their blond hair colour is not natural.

This is extremely rare among east asian people though (descendents of yellow river, amur civilizations etc), its not native to these people, their enviroments/adaptation nor ancestors, this blonde hair and blue eyes is most probably due to admixed european/caucasian peoples from when nomadic tribes would form confederations and later creating empires entailing diverse people, these genetics caused from intermarrying between peoples would then resurfarce. We're not all mongolians, theyve just touched every surface of the earth, if your features are nordic-like (blonde hair, blue eyes) as I assume, you likely dont (absolutely) originate from there.
