What are the characteristics of Yi costumes in Chuxiong, Yunnan?

Yi is one of the ethnic minorities in China. Although the population is small, their national culture is an indispensable part of China's traditional culture. In fact, Yi people's costumes are still very distinctive.

In fact, the dress characteristics of Chuxiong Yi people are not much different from those of Wenshan and Liangshan Yi people in Sichuan. As for the characteristics of Chuxiong Yi costumes, women generally wear large-breasted right back shirts with black or red flower heads, earrings with silver flowers and necklines.

Except some Yi people in Xiaoliangshan and Yunnan wear skirts, all Yi women in other areas wear pants, some wear short pants, but their legs are wide. Many branches of women's trousers are embroidered with delicate lace on their feet, and the long cuffs and neckline of married women are embroidered with exquisite and colorful lace, especially around the waist.

Most unmarried women of the Yi nationality in Chuxiong wear bright cockscomb hats decorated with red tassels and beads. Cocktail hats are usually cut into the shape of cockscomb with cloth shells and embroidered with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of silver bubbles.

Yi people living in mountainous areas are used to wearing a kind of "ear-wiping tile"-wool blanket, regardless of gender.

It slowly forms a cloak, which is woven from wool and grows below the knee.

In short, although there are some differences between Yi people and Yi people's costumes in different places, I think that with the rapid development of our country and the remarkable improvement of people's lives, the costumes of Yi compatriots will certainly be more colorful and dazzling.
