The Han nationality was one of the earliest nations who trained dogs in ancient times. As early as Shan Hai Jing, there was a record that dogs could resist fierce attacks. In The Biography of Nan Man in the Later Han Dynasty, the myth of Yao ancestor in ancient times was recorded, that is, Pan Hu, the divine dog, helped a family to kill General Wu, and the daughter of the family married Pan Hu and gave birth to Yao descendants. As the ancestor myth of the clan, Pan Hu, the god dog who saved the nation from extinction, has always been regarded as the ancestor of the clan by Mianzhi, a Yao nationality in Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong and so on, and is honored as "Wang Pan" and "Pan", which is not only sung orally, but also recorded in the genealogy.

The snake is one of the important totems of the ancient Yue people, and later evolved into a god. Wu Zhenfang's Miscellaneous Notes on Lingnan in Qing Dynasty said: "There is a snake god in Chaozhou, which looks like Guannan and is called Tiandi. There are snakes in the niche. If you want to see it, you must leave the temple before going out, circling around the tripod, hanging on the rafters, or carrying it on a bamboo pole, winding and knotting it, not afraid that people will not become scary, three feet long, green and lovely. ..... Anyone who worships God, snakes often visit their homes. " People in Yixing, Jiangsu Province divide snakes into domestic snakes and wild snakes, which are called "Li Man" and "Waiman" respectively. The so-called domestic snake refers to a snake that lives in a house. It is a harmless snake, which often wraps around beams, eaves, cracks in walls, ripples and attics. It is about three feet long. People think that domestic snakes will protect people. With domestic snakes, the rice in the rice shop will be full and not empty.

Huang, the surname of Yao nationality in Nandan County, Guangxi, is said to be a female monkey, whose offspring are all strong. Later, there were ten suns and ten moons in the sky. It was too hot during the day and too bright at night, so people asked Huang's descendants to photograph the sun and the moon in the sky. Later, nine suns and nine moons were shot down. To this end, people are very grateful to the Huang brothers. Because the Huang brothers were born to the monkey mother, people also thank the monkey mother. Later, in order to commemorate the monkey mother, Yao people in Dayaozhai banned not only beating monkeys and eating monkey meat, but also other surnames.
