What are the national cultures and customs of Miao nationality?

Miao national culture: Miao people living in Jingzhou have a long history and rich cultural and artistic heritage. Such as myths, legends, stories and other oral literature, as well as folk arts such as singing and dancing, embroidery and weaving, are diverse in form and rich in content, with distinctive national characteristics and strong local flavor.

Miao people are also quite accomplished in folk crafts. They produce all kinds of handicrafts, such as embroidery, knitting, painting, batik, sculpture, paper cutting and so on.

The national customs of the clan:

First, eat: eat camellia oleifera. Camellia oleifera is a kind of hospitality tea made by mixing fried popcorn with water. If the guest drinks it, the host will be happy, but if the guest doesn't drink it, it will be considered as contempt for the host. Some people want to drink three cups, the first is camellia oleifera, the second is bitter tea, and the third is sweet tea. Eat mountain mud (lizards, collectively referred to as four-legged snakes). Add a small amount of rice flour to the processed mountain mud cake and pickle it in a jar to entertain guests. Eat vegetables. I like to eat green vegetables during the Spring Festival, and generally don't chop them up.

Second, wearing: Miao costumes vary from region to region. Male, the average old man wears a collarless cardigan, belt, trouser legs and leggings.

Cardigans worn by middle-aged people and young people are short and small, and the fabrics are mostly homemade "homemade patchwork clothes". Women's clothes are different in style, wearing collarless embroidered clothes with petals inserted in the middle and wide-leg pants with hemming, embroidery or yarn count. Eye-catching female head handkerchief, generally more than a foot long, the color is cyan, with black and white plaid.

3. Living: Diaojiao Building, generally 2-3 rooms with cornices and corners, with white wooden railings around the corridor and various patterns carved on the railings. The bottom layer of crane feet is used to store grain, farm tools, firewood, soil ash, or cattle, sheep, pigs and toilets. The upper class is inhabited by people.

The stove is square, 60-70cm high, covered with wooden boards, surrounded by masonry, surrounded by a square fireplace for cooking, and surrounded by a space for raising chickens and ducks on the lower floor. When it is cold, the host and guests sit on the stove, joking, talking about family affairs and having a rest. There is a wooden frame with different shapes hanging on the stove, with melon seeds, tea baskets, sandals and so on.
