The Cultural Implication of Wa People's Clothing
In addition to ordinary people's clothing, Wa people also have Oman's clothing. Oman, some branches are called Li Man, others are called Seaman. Due to different dialects, the names are slightly different. There are roughly three kinds of Wa traditional Oman: one is Geyayong, the stockade owner, and the other is Gelio, the tribal chief; The third is the king, the king of a country. Strangely, there is no record in history that the Wa people have a country. But they say they have a country, and the king is called Wang.

The leaders of the Wa nationality, whether it is Geyayong, the stockade owner, Glio, the tribal leader, and Wolang of Ximeng, all keep the custom of their ancestors wrapping their heads in red cloth. In addition, the clothes on Glio's head are decorated with the sun, the moon, the stars, the Ssangyong and the bull's head. The figure of Ssangyong with red sun should be embroidered on underwear. And you can only wear it yourself, and you can't lend it to others. Another remarkable sign of the traditional dress of Wa women is that they wear several or dozens of bamboo or rattan rings around their necks, arms, waist and legs. Underage women will add an anklet every year, so there is a saying that "if you want to know your age, count your feet". This feature is the embodiment of Wa bamboo culture in clothing.

Wa people believe that the sun is the source of life and the absorber of rain, and the sun contains the aura of a great god. This is why it can create life and is called the reed god; The moon is the accumulation of stars and the earth, so it is called Lu Anshen. "Chaos" means accumulation. The moon also has a beautiful aura, so it is also one of the great gods worshipped by the Wa people. The stars symbolize reproduction and abundance. They are the moon and its children. Wa people want their descendants to be as many as the stars. The bull's head pattern symbolizes modesty and kindness. Cattle is a good companion and friend of An Gui, the Wa grandmother, and it is the happiest sacrifice of Mei Yige, the great god, so the Wa people often decorate their clothes with cow head patterns.

There are different opinions about the meaning of underwear decorated with Ssangyong patterns. Some people say that the dragon is the mother of human beings (Wa people), so the motto "Dragon father and dragon mother" is circulated among Wa people. Another legend is that the dragon princess Rong 'an is the god in charge of rain. She and Sanluo, the tree god, are a loving couple. Therefore, the dragon princess sends precious rain to the earth, mountains and rivers and human beings every year. Wa people are the most grateful people. They naturally want to thank her for being such a big benefactor. The annual Songkran Festival is to repay the kindness of the Dragon Princess Rong 'an. This is the explanation of the double dragon decorative underwear for men with heads. Why is it only embroidered on underwear? They replied: That's what Azur did!

In addition, Wa Xiaoshui's head has to be decorated with two doors. It is said that their ancestors were responsible for guarding the gates of the four ports. Moreover, they claim to be the root of all Wa people, so it means the total root of Wa people. It is said that since mankind left Sigang, it has been guarding Wa Mountain for generations. Now people in Song Yue and Yancheng are descendants of Wa people.
