Dress of She nationality

The basic clothing categories of She people are the same as those of Han people. However, the costumes of She nationality in Fujian and Zhejiang, where the population is relatively concentrated, still have certain ethnic characteristics, especially the women of She nationality in Fujian Province. The hair style of she women in Northeast Fujian is called "Phoenix bun". Before the age of 16, girls wrapped their braids with red velvet, coiled their heads and left "Liuhai" in front of their forehead. She people call it "Buni head". The hair style of adult married women of She nationality is called "shanhanatou", which varies slightly with different regions. It is popular in Minhou, Fuzhou, Gutian, Lianjiang, Luoyuan and feiluan, Ningde South Road. The hairstyle is called "fengtouji". The hair style popular in most areas of Fu'an and Ningde is called "Phoenix body bun", while the hair style popular in Fuding and Xiapu West Road is called "Phoenix Tail bun". In the South and west of Fujian, the hair style of some she village women is also different from that of local Han people, such as Zhangping, Hua'an, Zhangpu, Changtai and other counties. The she women in Northern Fujian use 100 silver hairpins, red ropes and beads to make "fan-shaped bun". She women's hair ornaments in Southwest Zhejiang are called hairpins.
