Foot Style -- Naxi'S Hemp Shoes

The Naxi ethnic group is one of the ancient minority nationalities in Southwest China, mainly living in Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang, Yunnan.

The Naxi people still retain the ancient pictographic Dongba language, which is named for the Naxi shaman "Dongba".

The Naxi shoes are mainly made of cloth shoes and embroidered shoes are full of national characteristics.

For example, there are certain traditional Naxi's "foot changing shoes", which are presented to the bridegroom when the wedding happens.

The Naxi men's dress in Lijiang is the same as that of the local Han people. In winter, they wear sheepskin shawls, and wear long gowns in Zhongdian, over knee legged trousers, waist leather bags and leggings.

The men in Ning Lang, Yongning, Yanyuan and Muli area wore short blouses and trousers, while men in the Ning Lang area liked bracelets. The old man wore linen, no collar gown, and green cloth with a waistband.

More and more people wear Tibetan clothes in recent decades.

Every festival, Naxi Women should wear traditional national costumes and wear their favorite costumes, the Seven Star shawls.

This shawl is colorful and beautiful.

It is made of whole black sheep skin. The upper part seams 6 cm of black woolen cloth, and the sun and moon patterns embroidered with silk threads at two shoulders and seven stars arranged in sequence.

People call this shawl "stars and stars".

It symbolizes the hard work of Naxi Women.

The shawl is both decorative and practical.

When Naxi Women work, they are not used to shouldering, they prefer to carry on the back, so shawls can be used as shoulder pads.

One thing and two uses.

The pair of embroidered shoe soles displayed here are made of thousands of layers and warped heads made of hemp thread. They are strong and durable and are suitable for walking in mountainous areas.

The vamp is a green silk fabric, and the shoes are embroidered with colorful silk threads and embroidered with flowers.
