Wa Traditional Culture (Composition 600)

In the history of Wa nationality, men wore black shorts and wide-mouth pants; Women wear hooded dresses and short skirts with stripes. Their decorations include collars, necklaces, bracelets, belts and anklets. Most of them are made of silverware or bamboo and rattan products, or painted with natural pigments or depending on natural colors, which are almost loved by men, women and children. With the development of society, the Wa people's clothing has also begun to change, with the appearance of long skirts, tube skirts and some costumes and decorations with a sense of the times. However, the areas where the Wa people live in compact communities still maintain the traditional national characteristics. Most of the clothes are made of self-produced cotton and linen, which are self-woven into cloth in its traditional way, and the patterns are like peacock, silver pheasant and other feathers.
