Features: The Costumes of China's Ethnic Minorities provides a detailed and systematic introduction to the rich and diverse costumes of the 55 ethnic minorities in China, and has been included in the "11th Five-Year Plan" National Key Book Project. Through nearly two decades of field research in ethnic minority areas, the authors have obtained primary materials to interpret and compare the history and current state of costumes for each ethnic group, as well as their external characteristics and cultural connotations. The book elaborates in detail how the ecological environment, value orientation, religious beliefs, and customs of each ethnic group are reflected in their costume styles, colors, patterns, and ways of dressing. Nearly 800 illustrations vividly introduce the daily and festive attire of men, women, the elderly, and children across various ethnic groups and their subgroups. Readers can gain an understanding of the depth and breadth of Chinese clothing culture. Professionals can study and draw inspiration from the rich cultural nutrients of the ethnic minorities, thereby creating a more splendid new culture.
