Due to the migration and accumulation of Miao people for thousands of years, a unique Miao culture has been derived. Among them, Miao costume culture is one of them, and colorful costumes reflect the historical changes of Miao people through hardships, as well as their yearning for a better life and the concentration of living environment from ancient times to modern times.
Then why do you say that Miao costumes are the history books you wear? Although Miao people don't have their own literature, they only rely on a strong sense of identity and rely on oral transmission from generation to generation to integrate the stories handed down for thousands of years, the cities where their ancestors lived and the routes of migration and drifting into the costume culture and embroider them into costumes, which will never be forgotten from generation to generation. Therefore, Miao costumes are called "history books without words" and "history books" worn on the body.
Miao costumes are divided into gender, age, costumes and normal costumes, and there are regional differences.
Miao costume design bears the historical responsibility of inheriting national culture, so it has the expression function of text part. Because of the long history, the written function and the specific meaning conveyed by these patterns are also mysterious and cannot be fully interpreted, which is also the unique charm of Miao costume patterns.
On the whole, Miao costumes keep the traditional weaving, embroidery, picking and dyeing techniques in China, and often use other techniques at the same time, either picking embroidery, dyeing embroidery or ribbon embroidery, which makes these patterns colorful and show distinctive national artistic characteristics.
Among them, "Leishan Miao costume" and Leishan Miao costume embroidery are the most representative, and their composition, color and embroidery skills are really "three unique". The composition is rigorous, symmetrical and coordinated, and each embroidered painting has a main pattern and a sub-pattern; The content of the composition is widely drawn, and there is no wonder.
