Are the "YAO" descendants of the Wuling Tribes?:
"Wuling 'southern barbarians' 武陵蠻 (also known as the 'southern barbarians of the Five Rivers' 五溪蠻), who rebelled numerous times against the local imperial adminstration of Wuling and Changsha prefectures during the Eastern Han and 'Three Kingdoms' periods. They inhabited the region south and southwest of the Three Gorges of the Yangzi River; this region (now part of Hunan and Hubei provinces) includes the very scenic Zhangjiajie 張家界 area, also known as Wulingyuan 武陵源: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W ulingyuan
Very little is known about the origins and customs of the Wuling barbarians, but the majority population of the area to the northwest and west of Wuling is now classified under the Tujia ethnic group. The ethnonym 'Tujia' was created only in the mid-20th century; before that, these people were mostly known as Man 蠻 ('southern barbarians') or Turen 土人 ('natives'). They may have originally dominated the Wuling area as well, but were gradually pushed out by 'Chinese' immigrants and soldiers after the Han period.
The Hou Hanshu, our earliest source on the Wuling barbarians, records a legend that they were the offspring of a marriage between a dog named Panhu 槃瓠 and a human princess. This origin myth still exists among the large ethnic group known as Yao 瑤 (or Mien), although the Yao live further south in southern Hunan and Guangxi provinces. So it is also possible that the Yao are descendants of Wuling barbarians who got driven south from the Wuling area.
Hou Hanshu says that the Wuling barbarians addressed their chiefs as Jingfu 精夫 and each other as Angtu [女央]徒. That is all we know about their language.
In the Eastern Han period, the Wuling barbarians were normally exempt from most taxes and corvee labour, being required to pay only an annual tax of one bolt of cloth for a chief and two zhang of cloth for an ordinary household. When the Han government or local administrators tried to raise this tax to a level close or equivalent to regular subjects of the empire, some barbarian tribes would usually rebel and start killing the local officials and attacking the cities. They would then have to suppressed by force - often by recruiting non-rebel tribes to fight them in exchange for rich rewards. At other times, barbarian tribes simply began raiding the villages and towns opportunistically when local defence forces grew weak."
