Jingpo Costume

Jingpo men like to wear white or black round necked jackets with lace patterns and colored beads on their Baotou cloth. They often wear waist knives and tubular handkerchiefs when they go out. Women wear black skirts, black and red skirts, and leggings. When women were in full dress, there were many silver bubbles and pieces on the front and back of their coats and shoulders, seven silver collars or a string of silver chains or bells on their necks, tremella tubes longer than fingers on their ears, and one or two pairs of thick carved silver bracelets on their hands. The more silver jewelry a woman wears, the more capable and wealthy she is. Some women also like to weave rattan rings with red and black paint around their waist, and think that the more rattan rings there are, the more beautiful they are. Men, women and children of Jingpo nationality all like to chew tobacco, reed seeds, betel nuts and drink. When acquaintances meet each other, they take out a bamboo tube from the tube and pour a cup of wine.

brief introduction

The Dai people of xiandehong lived in Jinghai, Yunnan Province,

It is related to the origin of the ancient Qiang people. In the Tang Dynasty, its ancestors were found in Chinese historical books as "xunzhengman" and "Gaoligong people". Since yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the names of "echang", "zhejie" and "Yeren" have appeared. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was recognized as Jingpo nationality by ethnic identification.

Since the yuan and Ming Dynasties, it has been mainly engaged in agricultural production, as well as animal husbandry, gathering and home handicraft industry. In the 1940s, the rural class and commune had disintegrated. At that time, because of the low level of productivity, Jingpo people lived in poverty and were poorly dressed. Now, with the continuous improvement of living standards, the clothing of Jingpo people is getting better and better.
