Originating in northern China but found today in southwestern
China, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, the various Yao subgroups speak
various Miao-Yao languages but continue to write their texts in the
Chinese language with Chinese characters. To a large intent, they
have maintained traditional Chinese social values and the Daoist
religion. The catalogue describes 37 Yao texts, all written in
Chinese and mainly dealing with traditional Chinese religion and
social life. Dating from the 18th to early 20th centuries, the
manuscripts include Chinese characters special to the Yao. Designed
especially as an essential source of reference for scholars working
in all aspects of manuscript and rare book studies, the catalogue
includes 48 illustrations (half in colour) that help identify this
material.
