The birch bark culture is a traditional culture of the minorities in the north. Because of its favorable location---in the northeastern part, Heilongjiang Province has deeply related to birch bark culture from ancient times and been transmitted to present. Heilongjiang Province is rich in soil. The birch woods grow vastly on the fertile land of the Great Khingan Mountains, the Lesser Khingan Mountains, the Three River Plain, Mount Wanta, Mount Changbai and Songnen Plain. Archeologist found that back in such ancient times as Nvzhen Period, there has been a close connection between every aspect of the natives'life and the birch bark. Ancestors of the minorities made full use of this natural resource, out of which, they made various kinds of products characterized with hunting culture. This practice was popular among many minorities in the northern territory. The Hoche live in a natural land with mountains and waters around it and thus have been closely interrelated with fish since ancient times.

Accordingly, it can be concluded that the region, race and language of ancient northeast minority has high value for study and science.
