Ethnic groups
Youyi means “friendship” and, as the name of the community, is symbolic of the different peoples who have lived together here for centuries. The vast majority of almost 90% are Han , but Youyi is best known for the Manju in the village of Sanjiazi, among whom until at least the beginning of the 21st century there were probably the last individuals in the world who could speak Manjur fluently.
Another special feature is the Heilongjiang-Kyrgyz , most of which live in the village Wujiazi and their ancestors during the Qing Dynasty , in the 18th century, along with Oirat Mongols had been relocated from West China to Fuyu. Some older Heilongjiang Kyrgyz still speak their Khakass language , which is only distantly related to Xinjiang's Kyrgyz language . In contrast to the Kyrgyz in Xinjiang , they were never Islamized . Their predominant religion is Tibetan Buddhism of the Gelug school , interwoven with strong remnants of their traditional shamanism .
The Daur in the villages of Dengke, Dongji and Qinlian speak a Mongolian language, but due to their prominent position during the Qing Dynasty, they are closely connected to the Manju and form a local cultural community with them. In smaller numbers also live in Youyi Mongols (mostly Oirats), Hui , Koreans and Evenki .
