Who knows what the characteristics of the ethnic costumes in the Chaoshan area are?

The clothing of modern Chaoshan people is not much different from that of modern Han people. In the past, Chaozhou women's decorations were very distinctive. Women usually wear double braids before marriage, but there are also a few single braids. After marriage, the most common mane is a splayed mane or a square mane, and the middle-aged and elderly people are more popular with the straight mane and the coiled mane. Like to wear various headdresses, such as gold and silver headdresses and various flowers. Wearing earrings is a must. There are also bracelets, rings and silver anklets. Women pay attention to facial make-up, applying powder, dyeing their lips and eyebrows, and using thread to remove their hair. According to the records of Liang Shaoren, a native of Qiantang during the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, "when traveling in Chaozhou, Guangdong, women would cover their heads with a piece of soap cloth. They would surrender themselves with their hands hanging down to their knees... It was called Wen Gong Pa, and it was made by Changli." It has disappeared since the late Qing Dynasty. Clogs have long been popular in various parts of Guangdong and are adapted to the rainy and humid environment in the south. In terms of production technology, Chaozhou clogs are the most exquisite. Nowadays, clogs have mostly been replaced by various types of footwear.
