As early as the Ming Dynasty, the thousand-year-old Yao village established the "Yao Lao System" of democratic elections and formed a sacred and strict "customary law" to strictly manage the village. The original residents of the thousand-year-old Yao village have migrated down the mountain in batches since the 1970s, allowing the ancient village to be preserved relatively intact and original. The houses built against the mountain are arranged in a staggered manner on the mountainside. The ancient houses in the village are all made of blue brick walls and black tile roofs. They have unique shapes, magnificent momentum, and clearly visible historical charm. There is no bustling noise or hustle and bustle of the city here, but only the tranquility of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence" and the rich ethnic customs.
