But it originated at least in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than a thousand years. According to historical records, the ancestors of Liannan Nangang (including the other eight rows of Yao people) are believed to be part of the "Changsha Wuling Barbarians" during the Qin and Han Dynasties. The Yao people originally lived in the north of Dongting Lake. Later, due to wars and discrimination, they gradually migrated to the border areas of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces. During the Sui, Tang and Song Dynasties, the Yao people gradually migrated to Guangdong Province in many routes, and their migration reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty. The Yao people in Liannan Bapai are said to have migrated here via Daozhou, Jianghua and other places in Hunan, mainly from Panrong Cave in Jiangju Mountain in Daozhou, Hunan (now Simaqiao in Dao County, Hunan). According to records: "In the first year of Tang Guangde (763), the Xiyuan ethnic minority revolted and captured Daozhou City. In the first year of Tang Guangming (880), He Yu from Daozhou and Cai Jie from Jianghua led the people in an uprising and captured Daozhou City. In the third year of Zhou Guangshun (953) during the Five Dynasties period, Pan Chong from Daozhou gathered people in Panrong Cave to revolt. Pan called himself the commander-in-chief and captured Daozhou and Chenzhou many times. In the third year of the Qingli period of the Song Dynasty (1043), the minority uprising army of Guiyang attacked Daozhou. In the fifth year, the ethnic minority uprising army led by Tang He fought fiercely with the government troops in the territory. In the first year of Zhizheng of the "Yuan Dynasty" (1341), the Yao people Jiang Bing, Tang Daren and He Renfu from Daozhou started an uprising and captured Jianghua, Lianzhou, Guiyang and other places. The rebel army grew to more than 10,000 people. Jiang Bing called himself "Shun Tian Wang". During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, most uprisings were brutally suppressed, which led to the migration of the Yao people in the eight rows of Liannan from Panrong Cave in Jiangju Mountain, Daozhou to Liannan. In the middle of the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, four camps, namely Dishui, Jingbian, Zhoutang and Zhongying, were set up around the Yao people's residence in the area of ​​Simaqiao, Daozhou, dedicated to suppressing the Yao people. This also led to the migration of the Yao people to Liannan during this period, which accelerated the formation of the Yao people in the eight rows of Liannan. According to experts, According to research by experts, Nangang is the largest, oldest and most distinctive Yao village in China and even in the world. The Yao people living in the village mainly come from four clans: Deng, Tang, Pan and Fang. They established the "Yao Lao System" of democratic elections in the Ming Dynasty and formed a sacred and strict "customary law" to strictly manage the village. Now the ancient village only retains more than 200 people and 368 ancient houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, as well as the village gate, village wall, stone slab road, etc. The Yao people generally live in deep mountains for generations. "There are Yao people in every mountain in Lingnan." This is to avoid the long-term ethnic persecution and discrimination by the feudal rulers. Moreover, the Yao people generally live halfway up the mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Throughout history, the Millennium Yao Village in Nangang has relied on its rugged mountain terrain to successfully resist attacks from government soldiers and other hostile forces several times. Nangangpai is the largest Yao village in the eight rows of Liannan. It can be said that it reflects the ancient and long-standing traditional culture of the Yao people in Liannan and even in China. Nangang has classical residential buildings, primitive bamboo water supply system, collective meeting places, Yao Lao system, ancient Panwang Temple, Wanpo Mountain, dragon culture, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom relics... The scenic environment The Nangang Ancient Village in Qingyuan is built on a steep slope at an altitude of 803 meters. The houses are densely packed together along the mountainside. Often the roof of the front house is at the same height as the ground of the back house. There is a corridor in between.
