Etiquette taboo of Yao nationality

1. Every year after October of the lunar calendar, with the arrival of the festival, Yao people all over the country will hold their own celebrations. When you visit the Yao family at this time, you must understand some local taboos and respect each other, so as not to arouse the resentment of the host.

2. Compared with the Han area, the Yao people's hospitality is worse. Anyone who enters the Yao family will be treated with respect and enthusiasm. Funny "hanging bags" and "melon wine" are typical etiquette for Yao family to entertain guests.

When the guest arrives at Yao's house, as long as he hangs his bag on the hook on the main pillar of the main hall, it means that he will have dinner at this house. Without prior explanation, the host will naturally leave the guests at home for dinner. If you don't understand this rule and always keep your bag and other things around, the host will think that you are going to other places and eating is often unsuccessful.

4. The Yao family is generous and polite. Bacon, delicacies and local products are the most common dishes for Yao family to entertain guests. At the guest table, golden and thick bacon is regarded as the top grade, and the host will enthusiastically distribute large pieces of bacon to the guests. Guests should accept it whether they like it or not, so that the host will be happy.

Yao belief

Yao belief belongs to polytheism. In the past, Yao people believed that everything was animistic and worshipped nature. Every New Year, they sacrificed village gods, family gods, water gods, wind gods, rain gods, Raytheon, tree gods, mountain gods and so on, and burned incense. For every process in production, such as hunting, cutting mountains, harvesting, plowing, sowing, transplanting, harvesting, building houses, eating new rice, etc. Please ask the teacher to choose an auspicious day and hold a sacrifice.

Pan Yao and Shanziyao mainly farm in the mountains. They believe that mountains are controlled by mountain gods, and they must worship them to reap a bumper harvest. Therefore, when hunting wild boar, goats, yellow meat and other beasts that spoil crops, the owner or Taoist priest should first whisper to the gods and pray for the mountain gods to bless their crops. After getting their prey, they must sacrifice their heads to the mountain gods before distributing them.
