China has a melodious history and culture of 5000 years. Fifty-six nationalities have different customs, houses and costumes.

And I have a strong affection for Miao costumes since I was a child. The glittering silver ornaments make people hard to open their eyes, and the beautiful and rich clothes patterns make people admire …

Miao costumes in different places have their own characteristics. Miao men in northwest Guizhou and northeast Yunnan wear patterned linen clothes and wool felt with geometric patterns on their shoulders; In other places, Miao men generally wear short clothes with double-breasted or left-breasted buttons. Wear trousers, a big belt, a long blue scarf on your head and more leggings on your feet in winter. Ancient Miao men wore long hair, tied their spines to their heads, inserted wooden combs or hairpins, and wore earrings, bracelets, collars and other ornaments. By the end of the Qing dynasty, they no longer tied their hair into a vertebral bun, and some changed their hair into a long braid. Miao women's dresses vary greatly from place to place, with dozens of styles. However, in most areas, women wear big collars and short coats and double-breasted skirts of different lengths, some of which are feet long and some are legs short, only seven or eight inches long. Some Miao people in Xiangxi, Songtao in Guizhou, Kaili, Damiaoshan in Guangxi and Xuanen in Hubei wear long-breasted right-back shirts and wide-leg pants. Miao people in western Hunan have collarless tops, wide lace embroidered on sleeves and trouser legs, plaid or blue headscarves wrapped around their heads, earrings, collars, bracelets and other ornaments. There are many styles of headdresses for Miao women, with various headscarves tied on the top of their heads, some wrapped in spires and domes, and some wrapped their hair on a bracket, standing high above their heads, which is unique. Their costumes are unique in Qiandongnan. They nailed silver ornaments on their clothes to form "silver clothes", and wore silver headdresses shaped like horns on their heads, which were as high as feet.

Miao costumes still retain the traditional weaving, picking, embroidery and dyeing techniques in China.
