Characteristics of Huangluoyao Village
Huangluoyao Village is the only one of the thirteen villages in Longji, where all the Red Yao people live. Since ancient times, women in Yao Hong have had the traditional habit of growing long hair. Of the 60 households in the village, 60 have hair more than one meter long, and the longest is 1.7 meters, which is known as the first long-haired village in the world. Unmarried woman's hair is coiled on her head and wrapped in black cloth. Only her family can see her long hair. Outsiders want to see her hair, so they marry her home. People here are good at singing and dancing, and they are hospitable. Tourists come to Huangluo Yaozhai, where Yao girls dressed in bright national costumes sing sweet folk songs, line up to welcome them and provide them with unique dances and traditional sports. There are also fragrant craftsman camellia oleifera and Yao women's long black hair, which makes tourists admire. Song and dance programs include: long hair performance, red stick dance, umbrella dance and so on.

Women's clothes in Yao Hong are very beautiful and exquisite. It takes three years to embroider a suit by hand. There are various patterns and designs embroidered on the clothes, colorful flowers and trees, lifelike birds and animals, especially a pair of bright red Tiger Claw seals on the waist of the back. Speaking of this Tiger Claw seal, there is an unusual story: It is said that one day the emperor went hunting in the mountains and was almost eaten by a tiger, and a woman from the Red Yao saved him. In order to thank him for saving his life, the emperor dipped it in tiger blood and printed it on the back of Yao women's clothes like a seal, saying that you don't have to kneel behind. Later, when officials at all levels saw her, people in sedan chairs would have to get off, and people riding horses wouldn't be unreasonable. After returning home, this Yao woman embroidered Tiger Claw seal on all her clothes with silk thread, which was handed down from generation to generation. Today, you can still see this Tiger Claw seal. As long as you look carefully, Yao women are wearing silver ornaments on their ears and hands. The most striking thing is the earrings with two or three weights, and the bracelets on their hands are carefully crafted by folk silversmiths.
