Ethnic minorities in China

Dress is an important symbol of a nation and an important carrier of national culture.

In our country, according to the gathering place of minority nationalities, it can be regarded as the four parts of northeast, northwest, Southern China and southwest.

Among the four regions, ethnic minorities are different from ethnic groups due to environmental factors. However, due to environmental factors and cultural factors, the costumes of ethnic minorities in China show regional diversity.

The main representatives are: Mongolian, Oroqen, Ewenki, Hezhen, Daur, Manchu, Korean and so on.

The ethnic minorities in Northeast China are mainly composed of Oroqen, Hezhen and Manchu. As the main minority nationalities in the three northeastern provinces, the characteristics of their costumes are quite obvious. Under the Northeast flavor and the characteristics of national existence, the daily costumes of the Northeast minorities are mainly dominated by heavy style, while the embroidered flowers, patterns and so on are mostly cloudy and flower oriented.

The clothing materials of the Hezhen nationality are quite special. The clothing of Hezhen nationality is made of animal skin and fish skin. In the Hezhen nationality, the manufacturing technology of fish skin and the obtaining technology of fish skin line are very mature.

This makes the Hezhen clothing have the advantages of waterproofing, cold resistance and portability.

These advantages are not desirable for ethnic minorities in Northeast China who are hunting for survival.

Northeast China is a relatively complete regional unit from the natural geographical conditions. Because of its high latitude, it is adjacent to the cold winter wind source area in northern Asia, which is long and cold in winter, short and warm in summer, extensive in permafrost, abundant in forest resources, and abundant in wild animals. There are mainly ethnic minorities living here, including North Korea, Oroqen, Ewenki and Hezhe.

People living in the northern part of the country, because of similar climate conditions with the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, also have their clothing on the ground, foot boots, fur clothing, large shelter, in order to protect the common cold, such as the top of the Oroqen head fox fur cap, can cover half of the body, suitable for 40 C below zero cold weather, and the Hezhe nationality, because of the long river to live in the wild to fish for a living, wearing a fish skin long gown, foot fishing on the skin.

The difference is due to the fact that the temperature difference between the north and the northeast is very small.

The south of the residential area, such as the DPRK and Manchu costumes, clearly use the silk and the homespun cloth. The clothing is clear in winter and summer, and the clothing is relatively large.

On the ornaments, the Northeast ethnic minorities, apart from wearing silver ornaments, originated from fishing and hunting tribes, with feathers and animal heads.
