Abstract: There are originally eighty- two items in the One Hundred Miao Drawings . Owing to the fact that the original copy has been lost and that the later civulat ing copies are either incomplete or in disorder, it is hard for present -day resenchers to make good use of this valuable his torical document. On the basis of Guizhou Chronicle of Events and Miao and Man Drawings, the author of this papertries to probe into the editorial layout of the original One Huandred Miao Drawings and discovers certain rules of the original layout of the eight- two items in the ablum. Probably,the items were laid out according to the dates of appearance of the names embodying the social and cultural connect ions between the tribes, so as to reveal a certain relationship between the eight- two tribes.

Key words: One Hundred Miao Drawings, editorial layout, tribal relationship
