Clothing characteristics of Li nationality

1, Li costumes are mainly made of sea island cotton, hemp, kapok, bark fiber and other raw materials. In the second category, there are records in "Outside the Collar" by Guangxi, Zhu Fanshi of Zhao and Zhou Qufei, all of which summarize Li's "weaving China". Five-color silk cotton is woven into a single curtain, and kapok is used as raw material to make upside-down cloth. The woven "Li Jin", "Li Dan" and "Li Mu" are colorful, beautiful and applicable, and deeply appreciated by the people in the Central Plains.

2. The traditional clothes of Li nationality have one thing in common: jackets for men and women are directly hidden and have no collars. A cardigan or coat without buttons. In ancient times, men's towel was also called "hanging towel system". Straight seam women's knitted floral tube skirt.

3. Li women's dresses are embroidered with exquisite patterns, and double-breasted shirts or crosshead skirts are sewn with 3-5 pieces of plain fabric, which is suitable for embroidery, so skirts are mainly embroidered. Women's skirts, which we call tube skirts, are usually made by sewing the skirt head (elastic band), skirt waist, skirt body and skirt tail, but there are also less than or more than 4 pieces. Because each piece is woven separately, which is suitable for weaving and embroidery, there are many complicated patterns on the skirt. Some skirts are called "pull" because they are embroidered along the hem to highlight the pattern and improve the color of the pattern. Because of the high warp and weft density of woven cloth, the tube skirt enhances the traction of the tube skirt, which is durable and unique.

In ancient times, most of the clothes of Li people were plain, and a few of them were woven with patterns and lace. There are many burrs on the lower edge of the coat back. There are only two forms of lower-level clothing: "egg wrapped in cloth" or "hanging towel making", which can hide shame. The main differences between these two forms are woven and non-woven, split and non-split skirts. Men's wear woven with patterns is also called "scarf making". Now all men's wear has been changed, and only a few Li Jia and Hainan National Museum can see the old men's wear.
