On May 7, 2013, I visited Wantai, Daping Township, Hezhou City 贺州市大平乡万太组 (or Wantai 湾太, Longcao Village 龙曹村, Daping Township 大平瑶族乡, Hezhou City) in Guangxi, China. My informant was an elderly man named Deng Rushan 邓如山 (February 1943). He was a Mien speaking belonging to the Guoshan Yao 过山瑶 group, whom he said are also known as the Pingtou Yao 平头瑶. His ancestors had migrated from Wuguang 梧广. Deng also told me that there are Jian Yao 尖瑶 in Qingshui Village, Gonghui Township (公会镇清水村) and in Huangdong 黄洞瑶族乡.
