Classique des rites
The Man were described in the "Book of Rites" as one of the Four Barbarians associated with the south. They tattooed their foreheads, had inwards pointing feet, and ate raw food. Although various stereotypes and accounts are recorded in the "Book of Rites", little detail is actually known about their inner social hierarchies, their social customs, and the social interdependence among the tribes at that time.
