Before the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), there were mainly three ethnic groups: Yao, Han and Zhuang. According to historical records and archaeological discoveries, about 1500 years ago, Central Plains culture had spread to Liannan, and the Han population had reached a considerable number. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, a certain number of Yao people lived in Liannan area, and a unique social and political organization-Yao-Lao system appeared in Yuan Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, "eight rows and twenty-four rushes" were formed (the row was a big thatched cottage and the rush was a small thatched cottage). Yao people here can be divided into two groups: Chuanshan School and Rejection School. Pai Yao is called "Pai Yao" because Yao people are used to living in groups, building houses on the mountain, and the houses are stacked on top of each other, forming a bungalow called "Yao Pai" by the Han people. Guo Shanyao was named after his ancestors' pioneering work, eating mountains and crossing the sea, and their migration was impermanent. According to folklore and historical records, Paiyao mainly comes from the middle and lower reaches of Xiangjiang River, Yuanjiang River basin and Dongting Lake area in Hunan Province. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, their ancestors migrated to Zhai Jie in Liannan Mountain area via Chenzhou and Daozhou. In Qing Dynasty, the Guo Shan Yao nationality migrated from Hunan and Guangxi to Liannan. After the founding of New China, they settled in the village. After the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhuang people moved from Lianshan and other places to Liannan. In the long historical years, people of all ethnic groups have friendly exchanges and jointly developed Liannan, a beautiful and rich land. Although the Yao compatriots in Liannan lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests, the feudal ruling class of past dynasties adopted a policy of discrimination and oppression against the Yao people and constantly carried out encirclement and suppression in the military. Politically, they divided and ruled the Yao inhabited areas into Lianshan, Lianxian and Yangshan, and bought some upper-class Yao people as their puppets to create internal contradictions among Yao people. Economically, we do everything possible to exploit and plunder our Yao compatriots. In addition, there are constant internal disputes in Yao areas, and Yao people extort money by mediation. The life of Yao compatriots is extremely poor, and the population has decreased from 65,438+10,000 in history to more than 22,000 just after liberation. The politics, economy and culture in the Yao area are still in the primitive state of ancient feudal society, and the ethnic contradictions are very sharp. 1949, the People's Liberation Army liberated sanjiang town, Liannan County of the Kuomintang, and the whole territory of Liannan was liberated with it, and the Yao people gained their coveted rights to survival, freedom and equality. 1950 In April, the CPC Beijiang District Committee and the Commissioner's Office decided to establish the CPC Liannan County Working Committee and Liannan County People's Government, and appointed Cheng Chongzheng as the secretary and county magistrate. On May 16, Liannan County People's Government posted an announcement of its establishment. The establishment of the CPC Liannan County Working Committee and Liannan County People's Government laid the foundation for Liannan Yao people to realize regional autonomy.
