There are colorful flowers, plants and trees, lifelike birds and animals, and the most special thing is that there are a pair of bright red tiger paw prints on the waist of the back. There is also an unusual story about the tiger's paw seal: it is said that one day the emperor was in trouble when hunting in the mountains and was almost eaten by the tiger. A red Yao woman saved him. In return for saving his life, the emperor cut off the tiger's paw and dipped it in the tiger's blood, which was printed on the back of Yao's clothes like a seal. It was said that the Emperor didn't have to kneel down behind her. Later, when officials at all levels met her, those in the sedan chair had to get off the sedan chair, and those on horseback had to get off the horse It must not be unreasonable. After returning home, the Yao girl embroidered the tiger's paw seal on all her clothes with silk thread, which has been passed on from generation to generation. You can still see the tiger's paw seal today. You only need to carefully observe that the Yao women wear silver ornaments on their ears and hands.
