Luohong Village, Ebu Town, is a inhabited area of She nationality. She nationality is divided into flat mane and battery mane, with three surnames: Lan, Lei and Li (Chao 'an She nationality has a surname of Pan), and lives in the deep mountains and forests. In ancient times, both men and women wore vertebral bristles and walked barefoot. Before farming, we burned trees and grass, used plant ash as fertilizer, and then cultivated the land with knives instead of plows, leading a poor slash-and-burn life. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Yuan soldiers invaded the Central Plains and the Song Dynasty was forced to move south. Wen Tianxiang helped the young emperor to organize the She people against the Yuan Army at the border between Guangdong and Fujian provinces. At that time, more than 8,000 She people had been fighting the Yuan Army in Quanzhou and Tingzhou, Fujian. After the ruling situation of the Yuan Dynasty was determined, they were forced to surrender. Some of them fled to deep forests, mainly relying on hunting for a living, while others fled to Huiyang and mountainous areas. It was not until the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty that the court adopted the policy of appeasement, giving the She nationality silver dollars, exquisite silk dresses and robes, and setting up officials of the She nationality. Since then, the She people have re-recognized the imperial court, paid taxes with animal skins every year, and gradually moved closer to the Han people. Now because she has lived with the Han people for a long time, most of the She people are sinicized. Even so, they still have many unique customs that have been passed down to this day.
