Features: China is a multi-ethnic country, with 55 ethnic minorities living on its 9.6 million square kilometers of land, in addition to the Han ethnic group. Throughout the long course of historical development, these ethnic groups have created outstanding national cultures, including the colorful and diverse culture of ethnic costumes. Due to the fact that most ethnic minorities are concentrated in remote areas and have long been in a natural economic state with little influence from external cultures, their unique-style costume culture has been well-preserved. Ethnic costumes stand out in the world with their numerous styles, special texture of materials, dazzling colors, exquisite craftsmanship, and profound cultural connotations. Clothes speak without words, telling the stories of the world. Whether in the primitive wilderness or in the rapidly changing modern society, each ethnic group has written its history, culture, spirit, customs, religion, and more into its costumes. This book will guide you to recognize ethnic cultures with a more colorful perspective, appreciate the cultural charm of ethnic costumes, and explore the endless value that can never be fully uncovered.
