奉家山瑶人遗址初探

A Brief Discussion on the Yao's Relics in Fengjia

清同治11年《新化县志》载"新化瑶民于明末死徙殆尽"。近年经过在瑶人寨遗址实地考察和广泛的社会调查,证实:新化瑶人于清末民初仍然在新化的边远山区生活;新化王化以后,新化瑶民一部分被封建统治者杀害了,一部分陆续迁徙到岭南山区乃至东南亚、欧美等国,还有一部分与从外地迁徙来梅山定居的汉民同化了。

Xinhua History in the 11st of Emperor Tongzhi says the Yao people die out or emigrate away from Xinhua.However,the recent investigation on the Yao's relics shows that the Yao people still lived in the remout areas in Xinhua at the end of the Qing Dynasty and at the beginning of Guomingdang government.After Xinghua became a part of the Dynasty,some of the Yao people in Xinhua were murdered by feudal governors,some emingrated away to south China or countries in south-east Asia,Europe and America,and some were merged by Han immigrated from outside areas.
