Earl's tourism photography helps to present colorful Dai culture
First, the Dai cultural background
Dai people, also known as Thai people, have a national language of Dai language, belonging to the Zhuang-Dai branch of the Zhuang-Dong language family of Sino-Tibetan language family, and live in compact communities in Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. In China, the population of Dai people exceeds 6,543,800+0,260, mainly living in Xishuangbanna. Because they live by water, the traditional stories and festivals of the Dai people are all related to water, and the famous Water-splashing Festival is one of them. Living by the water, singing and dancing is a way for Dai people to praise their daily life. They record history with words and songs and dances.
Second, the characteristics and causes of Dai costumes
A nation's clothing is closely related to its geographical environment. Just like Tibetans live in cold areas, fur felt hats keep out the cold and wind, while Dai people live in hot and humid environment, with strong ultraviolet radiation. Light clothes can reduce heat absorption and keep cool. There are many kinds of creatures, with peacocks and elephants as mascots. Peacock feathers are gorgeous and elegant, and the famous peacock dance is Dai dance. Combined with the climate and mascot image, Dai costumes are gorgeous and short, and women mostly wear narrow-sleeved tops and skirts, white or scarlet underwear, with a small waist and a wide hem, revealing a slender figure. Clothes are mostly made of cool materials such as georgette and silk, and they like to use contrasting patterns, which are gorgeous and imaginative.
As far as ornaments are concerned, Dai people, whether men or women, always like to carry a bag made of brocade on their shoulders when they go out. The bag is brightly colored, which is convenient for shopping and carrying things when traveling. Women put combs, hairpins or flowers on their hair, wear gold and silver jewelry and tie a silver belt of a mirror around their waist, which is as elegant and beautiful as a peacock.
Thirdly, Dai marriage custom culture.
When it comes to the marriage customs of the Dai people, the Dai people have a peculiar way of courtship: "rushing to set off the yellow chicken." Girls will take braised chicken to the market to sell. If the right person is bought, the girl will take the initiative to take out the stool and let the man sit next to her. If the two sides love each other in the conversation, they will go to the Woods with chickens and stools to tell each other their feelings. Of course, there are times when you don't see your eyes right. At this time, girls will double the asking price and express their impression of the man in an implicit way, which makes people shy away.
As mentioned above, Dai costumes are gorgeous, and there will be some changes in Dai costumes at weddings, mainly reflected in women's costumes. Men's wear is relatively simple, mostly simple tops and trousers, wrapped in white cloth or green cloth. When a woman gets married, the wedding dress is prepared by the elders, which contains the blessings of the elders for the beautiful marriage of the younger generation. On the basis of jacket skirt, more peacock and flower patterns will be added, and the headdress will be decorated with gold and silver ornaments such as bracelets, collars, belts and earrings. The color of wedding dress is not limited to red, but gold pink can also be used as the choice of wedding dress, which implements the consistent gorgeous dress style of Dai dress.
There is a lyric in the Dai people's song of finding relatives: "Leave her alone, don't let the young people who love each other worry, and don't let the honest in-laws down." What we see through costumes are different national customs, and behind costumes, national culture contains a spiritual core of a nation's centuries-old inheritance. Cultural self-confidence is to advocate multiple cultures to show their elegance. In the form of exhibition, Baijue Travel Shooting implements the concept of cultural self-confidence in front of unique national costumes to help the national culture continue to be passed down.
