What are the characteristics of Zhuang headdress?
The hair style of the ancient Zhuang nationality is popular with vertebral bun: the hair plate is tied on the top of the head or behind the head, forming a cone shape. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the ancient style of men's vertebral bun was gradually lost. After the Republic of China, it was basically sinicized, and most women kept the ancient style. The hair styles of Zhuang people are regional and diverse. For example, unmarried or childless young women in Longzhou area are distinguished by keeping bangs, combing single and double braids, wearing hair or cutting shoulders flat.

Most married women don't have bangs, just comb their hair back into a bun or cut their ears flat, which looks mature and generous; Old women wear long hair, tie it behind their heads, insert silver needles and wear hats or headscarves. Dress up Xian Yi, young and old, at a glance. Traditional Zhuang costumes are mainly blue and black dresses and pants shorts. Men's wear is mostly a broken chest double-breasted Tang suit, made of local homespun, with a short collar and double-breasted jacket, a pair of small pockets sewn on the chest, two large pockets on the abdomen, and wide pants as short as knees.

Women's clothes are mostly blue and black, with colorful printed or jacquard towels on their heads and exquisite aprons around their waists. The jacket is short-collared and right-lapped, divided into double-lapped and partial-lapped, with wide and fat black trousers, and blue, red and green silk and cotton are woven at the knees of the trousers.

When it comes to Zhuang costumes, we should briefly mention the famous Zhuang brocade. As early as the end of the Warring States period, Lingnan Zhuang people began to plant cotton and linen, spinning, brocade and dyeing cloth, which are traditional production activities of Lingnan Zhuang people since ancient times. At that time, the Central Plains people regarded cotton as grass, dismissed clothes made of cotton as flowery clothes, and even linked the brocade of the southern Vietnamese with the terrible boils. However, after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the value of Zhuang Brocade was comparable to that of silks and satins in the Central Plains, and it was called the four famous brocade in China together with Suzhou Song Brocade, Sichuan Shu Brocade and Nanjing Yunjin Brocade.

Legend has it that Zhuang Jin was a Zhuang girl named Danimei in the Song Dynasty. She was inspired by the dew on the spider's web shining in the sun. Gorgeous brocade is made of colored velvet as weft, and the original yarn is woven. Weaving traditional brocade is a handicraft skill that Zhuang daughters must learn. They have been knitting their full set of brocade dowry since they were sensible. Especially exquisite dowry will be respected by people, and brocade workers will also be respected and treated with courtesy. Brocade has been integrated into the daily life of Zhuang people from the beginning, which is closely related to the marriage of Zhuang villagers.
