Why do Yao people choose to live by the mountain when choosing their residence?

First, the biggest feature of Yao people's residence is that they live by the mountain. In the past, they lived in small settlements. Three to five households were a village, and more than ten households were a village. Their houses were mainly bungalows, and their houses were arranged in rows on the hillside. People called this kind of house Paiyao. Now their housing conditions have been greatly improved. The houses they live in now are also gas-fired bricks with reinforced concrete structure.

Second, the Yao women in Chashan, Dayaoshan love a pound of silver plates with multiple bends. Yao women in Lingchuan and Rongshui stand on tall buildings, wrapped in towels and hung with colorful hats, which are elegant and unique. Yao people are mainly engaged in agriculture, and a few are engaged in forestry. Food is mainly rice, corn and sweet potato, and smoking is more common. The Yao nationality in northern Guangxi is dominated by "Camellia oleifera", and Dayaoshan is circled by pickling "bird cockroaches" and "animal cockroaches". Some Yao people pickled smoked pork and beef. These are all foods with unique flavors.

Third, Yao people have their own language. Yao people are mainly engaged in agriculture, forestry and hunting. Yao people are skilled in weaving and dyeing. Yao's religious beliefs are complicated, and sects, Taoism and primitive religions are adapted to local conditions. The customs and habits of Yao people respect their ancestors very much. They are used to reciting their ancestors' names before eating, which means that they can use them after they have tasted them.

fourth, this is especially true for a hearty meal. Every festival is better than preparing pork, chicken, duck and wine for ancestor worship. This meal is also very special: the elderly and distinguished guests must be seated. If you are a guest, you should treat yourself with enthusiasm and enthusiasm. In some places, you should give the cockscomb to the guests.

When Yao people propose a toast to their guests, they are usually raised by girls to show their respect for the guests. Some respected old people are toasting their guests and are regarded as gifts. In Dashanyao, I like to entertain guests with camellia oleifera. When there are customers, they are used to respecting three bowls. It is called "one bowl is rare, two bowls are close, and three bowls are true".
