Yao Taoism
Yao Taoism, also called Meishanism (''Meishanjiao'', "religion of the Plum Mountain"),〔Edward L. Davis. ''Encyclopedia of Contemporary Chinese Culture''. ¶ (Daoism among minority nationalities )〕 is a branch of Taoism practiced by the Yao or Mien people of China (mainly in Hunan Province and Guangxi Province), with diasporas living in Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. The Yao adopted Taoism in the 13th century, translating Taoist scriptures from Chinese to their languages, and incorporating the new religion into their culture and ancestral worship. As a result, Yao Taoism is strictly bound to Yao culture, but at the same time its pantheon and practice is more conservative than that of Han-Chinese Taoism, which has evolved differently since the 14th century.〔Joel John Barlow. ''(Yao Taoism )''.〕 Later, Yao Taoism exhibits similarities with early communitarian Taoism.〔 Also, Yao Taoism is combined by some neighboring Han-Chinese people into their religious practices.
==Priesthood==
The Yao Taoist priesthood is composed of high priests, the ''tsow say ong'', who perform rites for the higher gods of the pantheon ("above the sky") and officiate funeral rites, while lesser priests or shamans, the ''sip mien'', perform rituals for the lesser gods ("under the sky").〔
The ''sai nzung sou'' is the book of ceremonies for inviting the ''mienv zoux ziouv'', good spirits who protect the location.〔Alejandro Cardeinte. ''(The Mien People )''.〕 The ''mienv morh'' are angry spirits who cause sickness and tragedy.〔
