Why are there so many jewelry headdresses in Miao costumes? Won't it feel heavy?

In China, there are 55 ethnic minorities besides the Han nationality. Their distinctive ethnic customs add a lot of color and charm to our country. Among them, several Miao ornaments are the most eye-catching. They like to make all kinds of headdresses, hairpin collars and so on with pure silver. Almost every Miao girl and woman wears heavy silver products, which have many practical values besides some decorative functions.

First, the silverware in Miao witchcraft can ward off evil spirits. I believe everyone is familiar with Miao witchcraft. Speaking of the term "witchcraft", everyone will think of this very insidious witchcraft in scenic areas. Of course, because they are good at making drugs and using witchcraft, they are also afraid of being attacked by themselves or evil spirits. Beating the floor and heavy silverware are natural objects to ward off evil spirits. The reason why girls bring more is because women are naturally yin, because the vulva itself is more evil.

Second, in turbulent times, Miao people can easily migrate. Yunnan has not only been harassed by barbarians in history, but also attacked by nomadic people in the north, so it is not very peaceful on the whole. Therefore, Miao women don't have to use all their belongings to make personal silverware, so they can get out of the chaos and act quickly. After all, all the valuable things are in these silverware. It also implies that the status of women in the Miao nationality is still relatively high.

Third, it can reflect the physical condition in time. This is the same principle as the silver needle poison test used in costume drama. Silver itself is the most active for some toxic elements. Therefore, wearing silver products on the head, ears, neck, hands and even waist can reflect some health conditions of the five internal organs of the human body. In this way, you can know your physical condition in time, and it is also a way of keeping in good health. However, it is not easy to carry so much silverware with you, and it will take some time to get used to it. This may be the reason why Miao women are strong and sing loudly, because they have also been trained to carry loads since childhood.
