What are the taboos in Lijiang's braiding?

Lijiang's knitting taboos are as follows.

1. Walking in the streets of Old Town of Lijiang, Dali, you can see beautiful young girls with colorful braids everywhere. On the one hand, they are out of curiosity, on the other hand, they may think that this is a traditional accessory for local Bai Naxi girls, in order to better experience folk customs. It's beautiful, but I didn't know this colorful braid was called "widow's braid" locally. It is unfortunate for a widower (especially an accidental death) to wear mourning clothes in memory of her husband, which is similar to the mourning clothes of the Han nationality. After several years of mourning, she tied a few colorful braids.

2. For Han people, it's a bit unlucky to wear colored braids. Of course, everyone loves beauty. When many Han girls know that this is the braid of a local widow, they will take it off in embarrassment and stop wearing it.
