Butuo County (
Yi People and the birthplace of the Torch Festival.[3] The county has a population of 215,800, 97.2% of whom are Yi People.[4]
Butuo is considered very impoverished, traditional and still significantly influenced by the legacy of feudalism and slavery, which was only reformed in the 1950s.[5] Most villagers make a living through animal husbandry. Almost all of the non-agrarian economy is concentrated in the county seat.[2] It is a 'key county' for National Poverty Alleviation and Development work, with as of 2018, 122 poverty-stricken designated villages in the county, and 57,000 poor people.[6]
The bamboo mouth harp (Kouxian) of Butou County was included as intangible cultural heritage of the Yi People.[7]
