Three Pure Ones
Yao folk religion was described by a Chinese scholar of the half of the 20th century as an example of deep "Taoisation" ( "Dàojiàohuà"). Yao core theology and cosmology is Taoist; they worship the deities of canonical Taoism (above all the Three Pure Ones) as the principal deities, while lesser gods are those who pertain to their own indigenous pre-Taoisation religion.
