"Looking like fire from a distance, it is flowers when you look closely". When you walk into the Yi village, many people will sincerely exclaim such admiration when they see Yi girls wearing colorful flower-waist Yi costumes. The complex patterns, bright colors, and the jingling sound of silver jewelry colliding with each other make the exquisite Yi costumes on the flower-waist girls look particularly bright. Pengzu Village, Xiaojie Street, Eshan County is a village where Flower-waist Yi people live. In the long historical process, the hardworking and wise Yi women here have created a unique national culture with their own hands, and have written Flower-waist Yi costumes into a cultural history that can be worn on the body. Pengzu Flower-waist Yi belongs to the Niesu branch of the Yi nationality, and its women's costumes are complex, exquisite, bright, and beautiful. Here, there is a saying that "a mountain without trees is not a mountain, and a woman who can't embroider is not a Yi girl". Xiao Huiyu, a provincial-level ethnic folk artist, said: "I have been learning embroidery from the elderly in my family since I was a child. Most women in the village can embroider, but not many people can cut paper." A set of exquisite Huayao Yi women's clothing has complicated craftsmanship. First, paper must be cut into patterns of various parts of the clothing, then the patterns must be pasted on the cloth, and then colorful silk threads must be used to embroider along the patterns. Finally, dozens of embroidery products of different styles and patterns must be stitched together to make a set of exquisite Huayao Yi women's clothing. Huayao Yi women's clothing, the headscarf is made of three kinds of cloth, red, black and green, and the three pieces of cloth are spliced into a rectangular whole. Exquisite strips are embroidered on it, and it is matched with two cloth belts embroidered with patterns and decorated with tassel-shaped tassels made of silver bubbles. When wearing a headscarf, it is folded into a hat shape and tied with a belt. The tassels at both ends of the belt hang beside the ears. The clothes are divided into two parts: long clothes and short jackets, and are equipped with accessories such as belts, waistbands, streamers, and bellybands. The long coat is sewn with right-fronted clothes made of white or black cloth. The back is long to the back legs, the chest is short to the front waist, and the cuffs are embroidered with patterns. The short jacket is embroidered with vertical continuous flowers and colorful lace on the front and back, and is covered on the long coat. When dressing, first hang the bellyband on the abdomen, then put on the long coat, tighten it with a belt, let it hang down at the back, then put on the short jacket, and tie the belt with a belt. The pants are wide-waisted twisted crotch pants, and the fabric is mostly black or white. The pants are long to the calf, and the trouser legs are trimmed with one or two wide edges of light blue or green fabric. The shoes are black cloth as the base color, and the uppers are embroidered with floral patterns. The whole set of flower-waist clothing is mainly simple and bright, with red and black matching, bright and eye-catching. In 2009, the Eshan Yi costumes, which are mainly flower-waist Yi costumes, were included in the second intangible cultural heritage protection list of Yunnan Province, affirming the distinctive representativeness and inheritance and protection value of the Pengzu flower-waist Yi costume culture.
