What do people wear is only something ostensible, but the reason for his choice, is of essential meaning;
    Under the cover of traditional ethnic costumes, the cultural psycho is hidden.

    Serving as formative cultural symbol of Chinese ethnic groups, ethnical costumes reflect the history of each ethnic group. The aphorism of Jingpo ethnic group  says: “On the tube-       shaped skirt, everything can be found; that is what our ancestors left us.” Legends of past oldtimes, achievements our ancestors have ever made, histories of a family, history of an ethnic group, etc., everything is “written” on the skirt and other dresses. Generation after generation, they were carried everywhere. They are regarded as the symbol of each ethnic group and become a symbolic encyclopedia. That is a wordless “Historical Records.”hat is a soundless old song.
    Among ethnic groups in southwestern China, it is very popular to us that costumes function is regarded as a symbol of recorded history. It has become a common practice that those ethnic groups with no written languages to concentrate their oral culture through the design, shape and colour of their costumes. For those with different cultural background, the costumes seem to be filled with colourful and eccentric design; but for the people themselves, they can read history out of that. Almost everyone, even an old man or woman, can read the “heavenly book” written on the skirt and tell you the folk stories. Even in those ethnic groups with their own written languages, sometimes costumes symbolize certain things, just like the secret codes inherited thousands of years.
