The Yao People of Guangxi

The Yao live mainly in Guangxi, Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou. They numbered 2,796,003 in the 2010 census.

The Yao farm sweet potatoes, maize and rice. They have recently developed hydroelectric power and increased irrigation. There are several different mutually incomprehensible Yao languages, and Chinese or Zhuang are often used for communication. Traditional religions include nature worship, ancestor worship and Daoism.
