Characteristics of Yao nationality

Totem worship was formed in the development of Yao society. Pan Yao, Shanzi Kiln and Ao Kiln worship the totem of Pan Hu and forbid eating dog meat. The story of "monkey mother" of Yao nationality in Dayaozhai, Nandan, Guangxi has been spread for thousands of years, from which we can see that there is totem worship of Yao nationality.

Yao men and women like to have long hair. In ancient books, there are records of Yao men and women storing hair and knotting it, which is called "vertebral bun". According to China's historical records, as early as the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, there was a record of Yao ancestors' "five-color clothes". Later historical records also recorded Yao people's "hair and feet, colorful clothes and cloth."
