Costume is the crystal of human wisdom as well as fruits out of their labor. During human being's long process of evolution and development, minority cos-tumes in China also have had their own changes and development, becoming the cultural symbol for China's 56 nationalities by decorating their living world.
Costume is a visual language and window for civilization. Minority costumesin China are rich in ornaments and beautiful in color. Some are long while others are short; some are simple while others are complicated. But as a whole, there is a difference between north robes and south skirts. The northern nomadic people living in the Mongolian Tableland, the Tibetan Tableland and Xinjiang Basingrassland, or the nationalities that have had the life of nomadism and hunting,have chosen their production and living ways belonging to the herding and hunt-ing civilizations as a reason of their living space in the north of the Great Wall for a long time with freezing cold tablelands, deserts, forests and grasslands,such as the Mongols, Tibetan, Ewenki, Oroqen, Manchu, Kazakh, and etc. Theywear robes and boots, which become the symbol for horse-riding nationalities.The minorities in the south living on rice economy are known for their skirts.Even the landforms vary in China's south central, south-west and south-east, asmost of the regions have a warm, humid and rainy climate, the minorities livingin these regions choose rice planting as their living method, such as Tong, Miao,Lisu, Buyi, Pumi, De'ang, Dai, Zhuang and Gaoshan, with their costumes suit-able for their daily life in the style, quality or color. Each nationality's costume is its self-identification. Skirts are popular in the southern minorities, whereasthe style, color and design vary greatly from each other. Dai's tube skirts, shortskirts in Hani and Jinuo, and skirts called "Bafuluoqun" in Va and Tujia have allbecome kinds of decorations and signs distinguishing themselves from others.The women of Shui make an even more outstanding difference from others by putting on skirts outside their long pants.
