What are the three colors that Yi people like, and what are the patterns on clothes related to Otawa?

The traditional colors of Yi people are black, red and Huang San, and the patterns and decorations are mostly cockscomb, ox horn, fire sickle, fern grass, window panes and other animals, plants and daily necessities.

Yi men and women wear "Chaerwa" and "Peta". The Yi name of "Chaerwa" is "Wala", which looks like a cloak. Woven with coarse wool, generally 13, each seven or eight centimeters wide, and most of them are dyed dark blue. St. Chahar is the most beautiful area, with red and yellow edges and blue interlining, and a 30-cm-long rope spike hanging below. Felt is made of about two kilograms of wool. As thin as copper coins, it is folded with a 6 cm wide crease, usually 30-90 fold, and the top is closed with wool rope.

Generally, young men and women wear bright colors and like to use contrasting colors such as red, yellow, green, orange and pink, with diverse patterns. Middle-aged people have fewer patterns than young people, and the colors used are sky blue, green, purple, blue and white, which are solemn and simple. Old people often use blue cloth, generally do not make flowers, and only use the blue edge or blue edge of Tsing Yi for decoration.

The patterns and lace of clothing have strong national and local colors and life flavor. There are astronomical phenomena such as the sun, moon, stars, clouds, Tianhe and rainbow, natural maps such as mountains and rivers, animal maps such as cockscomb, bull's eye, horns and roe deer, and maps of plants and things such as leaves, flowers, sickles, braids and geometric figures.
