On the eighth day of the first month of 2010, it was the three-year Lusheng Festival in Gangdong Township, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County.
What is Hundred Bird Clothes? As the name implies, it is a garment made of hundreds of bird feathers added to the Miao clothing. According to the current workers who make Miao clothes, it usually takes more than half a month to make a set of adult Miao clothes with modern lathe workers. If it is hand embroidered, it takes half a year or more to embroider.
What's the point of using hundreds of birds' feathers? According to an old man from the Lusheng team, because we live in a remote and cold mountain area, far away from the county seat, and the traffic was inconvenient before, people in the mountain yearned for the wonderful world outside. In order to express this kind of auspiciousness, the ingenious Miao girls added feathers of hundreds of birds on their Miao clothes, meaning that Dapei (Miao girls) put it on, just like the golden phoenix in the mountain, flying to the wonderful world outside; But Daheng (Miao brother) can marry a beautiful girl back with it; If children wear it, their grades will rise; Old people will live longer if they wear it
Nowadays, in order to protect animals, duck feathers are used instead of bird feathers.
This picture was taken on February 21, 2010, at the Lusheng Festival of Bainiaoyi in Gandong Township, a young Miao handsome man was using a digital camera to take a picture of the joyful scene of singing and Miao girls stepping on the hall. From this Daheng's sleeve, we can see the beautiful embroidered words "bird" and "fragrance", but not two words. Together, these two words mean "birds sing and flowers smell". Seeing the weaving Miao embroidery culture and Daheng's love of life, I was moved by the joy of inheriting the national culture and the joy of the Miao people's love of life
