Women of the Hongyi Yao
"No. 1 Long-Haired People's
Village Under Heaven."
A folk song titled "the Long
Hair Song" is still circulating among the Hongyi Yao women:
"By
combing my hair black and shining,
I groom for my
sweetheart.
By combing my hair
thick and shining,
I wish a deep, eternal
affection for my husband.
By
combing my hair long and shining,
I will never forget my
parents' love.
All of my hair is long
and shining,
As a symbol of a long,
happy life."
