What is the mystery of the mysterious "black clothes" in Zhuang history?

Huang Chunyan, a strong woman in black, opened the opening ceremony of 200 1 Nanning International Folk Song Art Festival with her mysterious and sweet singing voice, which aroused admiration and curiosity from all walks of life. Since then, tourists and scholars at home and abroad have been visiting Napo County, Guangxi.

Heiyizhuang is one of more than 40 ethnic groups of Zhuang nationality, mainly living in Napo County, Guangxi, with a total population of about 5 1.3 million. The Zhuang nationality in black has its own characteristics in dress, language, social production and living customs, and has a unique position in the study of Zhuang nationality.

"Black" is the national symbol of strong black clothing, and worshipping and loving black is its unchanging national characteristic for thousands of years. Black clothes retain the tradition so far, each with its own characteristics and profound connotation: black is beauty, and black is a symbol of dress and ethnic group. Pay attention to practicality, generous style, concise and beautiful. In black clothes, women like to spin and weave cloth in indigenous ways, print and dye cotton cloth in indigenous ways, and sew clothes, and regard this self-made clothing as the most solemn holiday dress.

The strong men in black advocate intermarriage and still retain the marriage customs within the family. Black clothes are naturally romantic and strive to live a colorful life at any time. Among the local nationalities and ethnic groups, they are best at singing folk songs. Whenever night falls, men, women and children gather at the head of the village or in the village or at the end of the village to speak with songs and express their feelings with songs.

For a long time, Zhuang people in black clothes have lived in mountainous areas with sparse vegetation and numerous peaks, and have developed the moral fashion and habit of being hardworking and loving labor. In the long-term social changes, men in black are strong with their tenacious labor and rare spirit of suffering.

Cutting through the thorns and penetrating through the mountains and soil, using extremely simple tools, the wasteland with overgrown weeds and rocks was transformed into a flat sloping terrace, and the "three links" of water circuits were basically realized.
