 | | The Yao have been traced to around 220 A.D. as belonging to one of many groups categorized under the term Nanman, which translates to southern barbarian. |
 | | Nanman is one of two categories assigned to the people of the South, for those who lived in present-day Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Human, and eastern Guizhou. |
 | | The actual first reference to the term "Yao" appeared during the Tang dynasty (618-906 A.D.) in the expression moyao, usually translated as "not subject to corvee labor." Many scholars have attempted to link this expression to the present-day Yao, implying that those historically not subject to compulsory labor are the Yao's direct ancestors. |
