🎧  Listen to Introduction

The costumes of the Miao people in Guanling, Anshun are representative costumes of the Miao people who speak the Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan dialects. They are mainly concentrated in the Miao settlements of Dingyun, Guansuo and Huajiang in Guanling County, Guizhou Province, and are also circulated in Qinglong, Xingren, Anlong and Zhenning counties around Guanling. The costumes of the Miao people in Guanling are divided into two parts: the dress and the headdress. In the dress, the three embroidery patterns of different sizes and patterns on the collar, waistcoat and sleeves of the top symbolize the Yellow River, Yangtze River and Yuanjiang River, the hometown of the Miao people. The different geometric figures in them represent the crisscrossing fields in the three major river basins. The large pattern in the center of the skirt symbolizes the Miao compatriots who are connected in heart and hand. In the large rectangular colorful embroidery patterns on the front and back of the top, different patterns represent the sun, stars, flowers, etc. The three vertical "Chuan"-shaped embroidery patterns on the waist represent the three major dialects of the Miao language. The headdresses of the Miao people in Anshun are quite exquisite. Married women comb their hair from the temples into a bun and twist it into a cylindrical shape, then coil it from left to right above the right ear, and then insert a red and green horn-shaped wooden comb; unmarried girls comb their hair from the forehead to the front, then use the hairline made of broken hair to braid it together with the hair into a braid, which is coiled from left to right on the head, leaving the braid tail hanging down like a beard above the right ear.
