I remembered the Miao goddess of beauty statue that went up a couple years ago and thought I do more research on this historical Miao figure.
Supposedly Yang'asha symbolizes life and love and the Miao people in Jianhe county knows the story (

I tried searching up her story and the history but cannot find it anywhere. Either that or it is in Chinese and I don't read or speak Chinese.
If anyone knows the story, can you please share? Very curious right now to how she became a symbol of life and love and how/why she is a Miao goddess of beauty.
