According to legend, 3000 years ago, Prince Lausanne of Pulan built a magnificent palace by the beautiful Peacock River and lived here with his concubines. But it didn't last long. The kind and simple princess Yong Zhuo Ram can't stand the jealousy and persecution of all the concubines. On a full moon night, she turned into a beautiful peacock, flew over the white snowy mountain, disappeared into the night sky and was never heard from again. In order to commemorate this virtuous and virtuous princess, the Planan people who advocate kindness and freedom sewed Tibetan robes by hand and used precious stones such as turquoise, beeswax and pearls as accessories to make the present "flight suit".

At this point, the story of "flight suit" clothing began.

In Pulan County, Ali Prefecture, Tibet, the "flight suit" clothing has a history of 1000 years. Wool is the main fabric of the lamb robe, and otter skin is embedded in the collar, sleeves and lapels. The lining of the cloak is lamb skin, the face is generally square, and expensive satin and otter skin are used. The whole set of clothes with exquisite and elegant decoration is the most exquisite and unique among Pulan's clothes.

We followed the motorcade of winter cross-country experience tour in northern Tibet into Pulan county, drove 30 kilometers southeast, and arrived at Kejia village in about 20 minutes.

In this rural area on the southwest edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there is a very profound cultural heritage, among which Feifu is particularly famous.

Walk into Basang Ouzhu's home in Kejia Village, cross the narrow wooden ladder and enter the second floor. The women in Kejia Village are helping each other to arrange their headdresses and cloaks, while the men are making the final arrangement. "Flight suit" is mainly composed of clothing and accessories, which are indispensable.

? There are 18 styles of "Xuan" clothing, and each set of clothing is very different.

"There are 698 households in the village, and there are only 8 sets of such flying clothes. Our family only has 1 set." The male host Basang Ouzhu told us the story of clothes. If you look carefully, you will find traces of "Fu Xuan" in the murals of the Guge dynasty ruins for thousands of years. "Xuan" clothing is a general term for general blue clothing. There are 18 styles of this "propaganda" suit, and each suit is very different.

Basangpuchi (wife of Basangou Zhu) is one of the owners of "Flying Clothes".

There are hundreds of patterns of cloaks, some of which come from the fusion of Chinese and Tibetan cultures. This is provided by Basanpu's cloak pattern /Basangouzhu.

"I don't know much about the history of clothing. It's about a thousand years old. Anyway, it was handed down from generation to generation. " While the ruler of Basangpu was sorting out his clothes, Zhu of Basangou stood by and watched quietly. "The sleeves of the clothes will be longer. When you wear it, you will turn your sleeves over without affecting your work. "

A set of "flight suit" weighs about 20 kg, and the lightest one is 10 kg, which is related to the size and weight of the installed accessories. There is no fixed statement about the number of red coral, beeswax, turquoise, pearls and other ornaments on clothes. Basan Ouzhu introduces clothes. The dress of "flight suit" is very particular. Generally, you should put on underwear, boots, Tibetan robes and accessories first, and then you can put on a graceful and gorgeous cloak after all the clothes are dressed neatly. Such a "flight suit" is complete.

Not only that, but also pay attention to details when wearing accessories. When wearing jewelry, put the necklace on your chest first, and put on the shorter chain directly. For long chains, you need to arrange two ropes neatly on your chest, and then tie them with one rope respectively, and the ends of the ropes are tied behind your back, so that a series of chains of different lengths will be placed in front of the Tibetan robe at random.

Then I wore jewelry around my neck. Is it Tibetan? (pronounced giu). Fix the ornaments on the neck with two ropes, usually coral; Then there are epaulettes, which are fixed with two ropes, one is fixed on the neck and the other is fixed on the strap; Headdress is the last and most important step. There are two thumb-thick dark ropes behind the headdress, which are fixed on the head. There is a string tied to the strap at the end for fixing.

Wear a Pullman suit from head to toe, and finally wear a headdress. When you take it off, start with the headdress and take off your boots one by one. ?

"Flying clothes" are gorgeous and dignified, accumulated by more than ten generations and passed down from generation to generation. The main components such as Tibetan robes, belts, cloaks and Tibetan boots record the civilization history of this place for nearly a thousand years. When we asked which child Basang Ouzhu's only "flying suit" would be passed on to, Basang Ouzhu said seriously: It would be passed on to his son.

In the past, only dignitaries had "flying clothes", which not only showed the wealth of the family, but also symbolized the prestige of family power. Now, you can still see local people wearing expensive and exquisite "flying clothes" and the most precious and dazzling jewelry at weddings or important festivals, covered with silver-inlaid red corals, agates, turquoise, beeswax and other jewelry, and then crossing their arms on their chests, singing and dancing "Xuanwu" dance steps.
