Demographics
editLanguage
editFour Yao languages are spoken by the Yao people of Quanzhou County:[3]
- Mien (Chinese: 勉; pinyin: Miǎn)
- Kim Mun (Chinese: 金门; pinyin: Jīnmén)
- Ao Min (Chinese: 邀敏; pinyin: Yāomǐn)
- Biao Min (Chinese: 标敏; pinyin: Biāomǐn)
Within Quanzhou County, the Biao Min language is divided into the following five different dialect groups:[4]
- The Qingshui (Chinese: 清水), Zhuwu (Chinese: 竹坞), Shangtang (Chinese: 上塘), Xiaoheping (Chinese: 小和平), Huangladong (Chinese: 黄腊洞), Huanglong (Chinese: 黄龙), and Leigongyan (Chinese: 雷公岩) group
- The Baizhu (Chinese: 白竹), Jingrong (Chinese: 锦荣), and Daping (Chinese: 大坪) group
- The Bailing (Chinese: 白岭), Liuzijie (Chinese: 六字介), and Shijianping (Chinese: 石枧坪) group
- The Gumu (Chinese: 古木) group
- The Xieshui (Chinese: 斜水) group
Much of the difference between local Biao Min dialects is in phonetics, rather than vocabulary.[4] With the exception of the Xieshui dialect group, the dialect groups are largely mutually intelligible.[4] A possible explanation for the divergence of the Xieshui dialect group from other Biao Min dialects is increased interaction with Han people in the area.[4]
Ethnicity
editThe Yao people of Quanzhou County are mainly located in the county's two ethnic townships: Jiaojiang Yao Ethnic Township and Dongshan Yao Ethnic Township.[3]
Dongshan Yao Ethnic Township is home to the largest Yao population in the county, comprising about 20,000 people across 4,800 households.[3]
The second largest concentration is located in Jiaojiang Yao Ethnic Township, where about 1,900 ethnic Yao reside across 400 households.[3] Within Jiaojiang, Banyaoshan Village (Chinese: 板瑶山村) is home to about 120 ethnic Yao, residing across 20 households.[3]
While not an ethnic township, the town of Shaoshui also has a sizable Yao community, numbering about 900 people across 190 households.[3] Within Shaoshui, Tongyou Village (Chinese: 桐油村) hosts about 200 ethnic Yao across 60 households.[3]

- ↑ "Sina Visitor System" 【气温】今天南方有297个国家级气象站出现35℃以上高温。其中云南巧家41.2℃、海南澄迈40.9℃、云南元阳40.3℃，3个站点超40℃。今天广东郁南、广西苍梧、贵州三穗、湖南冷水滩、洞口、浙江温州、瑞安，共7个站点气温打破5月最高纪录。今天贵阳、成都温江、昆明、广州，4个省会城市气温创今年新高。昆明为今年首次上30℃。 未来低空的冷空气逐渐南下，南方的高温闷热天气会逐渐缩减。但在冷空气到来前，明天福州、南宁、海口还有高温。而且这轮高温消退以后，5月底-6月初，南方的高温可能还会发展。此外，临近月底，北方地区在高空槽东移后，有个暖脊东移，导致北方多地气温也有明显上升。石家庄报30日有35℃，有可能拿下当地今年首个高温。 而哈尔滨报31日35℃，这个待定存疑。要看后期暖脊的强度、冷空气的移动速度。如果冷空气来的晚一些，白天锋前增温明显，上30℃是稳的。如果冷空气东移速度快，31日白天哈尔滨就出现阴雨，气温将比目前预报大幅调低。总之，变数较大。关注临近报修订。 (in Simplified Chinese). weatherman_信欣 on Weibo.
