These areas are teeming with wild animals and are rich in natural resources, allowing them to develop a diversified economy. [+]The Yao people have a rich tradition of oral literature. For instance, when a group of people is working in the fields, several persons sing and beat drums to enliven their labors. Some of the songs tell love stories, others tell of Yao history, the legends about the creation of heaven and earth, etc. The singers also ask questions of each other or tell.
