Features: The Yao ethnic group, an ancient nation, has stepped out of the mountains into the world, becoming a global ethnic group; Yao studies, a new discipline, has entered the mountains from the world, becoming a discipline of global concern. Perhaps it is the grandeur and diversity of the mountains, or the splendid and colorful culture of the mountain-dwelling people, that in the past half-century, numerous scholars and experts from around the world have cast warm gazes upon the ancient and mysterious Yao ethnic group. Thus, a new discipline—Yao studies—was born, entering the mountains from the world. The author employs the historical materialist perspective, starting from the actual conditions of the Yao ethnic group's history and current status, and approaches the subject with objectivity, a balanced view, neither exaggerating the positive aspects nor concealing the negative ones, demonstrating a strong academic personality. This book objectively reflects the long and profound history and rich and diverse traditional culture of the Yao ethnic group, making a contribution to the study of the history and culture of China's ethnic minorities. It is highly beneficial for helping people better understand the national history and culture of China and its development patterns, as well as mastering Marxist-Leninist ethnic theory and the Party's ethnic policies.
