What are the characteristics of Miao silver ornaments?

As a cultural phenomenon, silver ornaments have been favored by many nationalities in history and become one of the carriers of multicultural communication.

In this carrier, there are the "ear bells" of southern minorities, the "jumps" of northern minorities, the "stepping" and "five soldiers ornaments" inherited from ancient ornaments, and the traditional dragons, phoenixes and scales in China.

Among many silver ornaments, Miao's silver ornaments are the most distinctive. Miao silverware can be divided into headdress, neck ornaments, chest ornaments, jewelry, sheng ornaments, children's hats and so on, all of which have been carefully made by Miao silversmiths and have a history of thousands of years.

In all kinds of silver ornaments of Miao nationality, images containing witchcraft and belief occupy the main position of ornaments. For example, the silver dress on the back of the Miao nationality has the image of a "ancestral temple", which is the core pattern of the Miao nationality's primitive religious belief. Its witchcraft significance is very heavy, and it has the status of controlling the whole body silver.

Therefore, every piece of silver is indispensable to this "ancestral hall" pattern, and it is generally stable and cannot be created or deformed at will. There are knights on horseback and idols on children's silver hats around Yinhuatou, too.
