Extended data

Miao costumes: Miao costumes have diverse styles and rich colors. There are five streams in the later Han Dynasty. Wuxi: Xiangxi is at the junction with Guizhou, Sichuan and Hubei. There are five streams here, hence the name.

The record of Miao people's "good five-color clothes"; Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a famous poem "The sky is clothed by five streams". There are more than 100 styles of Miao women's wear, which is the highest in China. A more representative traditional "dressing up", there are dozens of headdresses only inserted in the bun.

Miao women generally wear narrow sleeves, big collars, double-breasted tops and pleated skirts. The dress is either long to the feet, elegant and colorful, or short to the knees and graceful.

Casual clothes are mostly wrapped in a handkerchief on the head, a blouse on the upper body, a pair of trousers on the lower body, embroidered edges, an embroidered waist and a little delicate silver ornaments as a foil. Miao men's costumes are relatively simple, mostly double-breasted tops or right-handed robes, with wool felt woven with geometric patterns on their shoulders, blue baotou on their heads and leggings on their calves.
