In this exhibition of clothing boutique, the two sets of Miao dragon solo ceremonies displayed at the gate are the most unique. The dragon head wears a dragon crown and then inserts a knife. It is because "the Miao's ancestors are Chi You, Chi You is a soldier, so this knife decoration is a description of the Miao people and the offspring of Chi You."

The dragon's crown is a flower butterfly, which is very feminine. It is because "the Miao nationality has always maintained the characteristics of the matriarchal society's respect for women".

And the Miao people respect women is also reflected in women's costumes are the most complex and the most sophisticated, men's clothing is relatively simple.

Among the Miao costumes, including the Ming and Qing boutiques, most of the costumes in Kaili, Guizhou are the most attractive.

The central dialect area of Guizhou is the most popular among the Miao costumes.

Preserving the image of dragon in the spring and Autumn period of Miao Nationality

"Entering an Hmong family, testing the wealth of their families and the wisdom of the hostess is an important criterion."

Mr. Long Wenyu said in front of the fine eaves of Qing Dynasty.

From the beginning of a Miao girl learning to embroider, her life will be associated with needlework, and before she gets married, what she must accomplish is a gorgeous ledge to hang in her future new bed.

This ledge actually embodies the efforts of the three generation of Miao women, because "her grandmother will help her, and her mother will help her".

The curtain of this exhibition is embroidered with the image of the earliest dragon of the Miao nationality. It has no scales and no need. Claw is not so much a cloud as its claws, but its image is very different from that of the dragon of Han nationality. It is more like an animal like an earthworm and a house lizard.

Mr. Long Wenyu said that this is the difference between the Miao and Han culture in understanding the dragon. In the Han culture, the dragon is a symbol of imperial power, but in the Miao culture, dragons are brothers who can be close to human beings and can be turned into any creatures.
