Rich and colorful Hani costume culture

Hani costumes are an important part of Hani culture, with gorgeous colors, diverse styles and exquisite craftsmanship. Hani costume is the best embodiment of Hani national culture and an important carrier for Hani to inherit culture. Next, I would like to introduce colorful Hani costumes to you.

Yeche is a branch of Hani nationality. The woman with a leaf cart wears a white pointed hat, indigo split short-sleeved homespun, no collar and no buttons, and a wide five-color belt around her waist. Cloth clothes are worn one by one, ranging from seven or eight pieces to more than a dozen pieces. The number of clothes can be seen by the length inside and the length outside. Yeche people believe that the more clothes, the more beautiful the clothes, and the richer the family will be.

On holidays, the girls still wear silver bracelets, silver chains on their chests, silver pieces and silver bubbles on their waists, and start to go to Rinrin in style.

This quaint costume comes from its historical legend. According to legend, a long time ago, when Yeche people moved south from the blue-gray side (near Kunming), they were surrounded by powerful ethnic groups. In order not to commit genocide, they put pot ashes on men's faces, and women put on shorts and shorts, and attacked on the 12 road. The breakthrough finally succeeded, and they finally moved to the red river basin to settle down. In order to commemorate this breakthrough, Yeche's women passed on the costumes at that time to this day.

Their clothing is a prominent one among the seven branches of the clan. Aini people generally like to make clothes with their own dyed and knitted navy blue homespun. Men wear right-handed shirts, with two rows of big silver coins as decorations on their lapels and black cloth on their heads.

Women often wear collarless tops, short skirts and leggings on the right; A string of beads hung on the chest.
