Da Tang ;The Miao village
I finally came to the place!
I followed the other members and went into
the Miao village, getting excited.
In this village there were no special event such as welcome
celemony and so on.
We relaxedly walked around the village.

To their back style
To their silver crest closed-up
They say their silver adornments are all
hand-made by specialists. I read in a book
the Chinese Government
valued their custom of wearing silver accessaries and
supported them in platinum procurement.
I first kew the Hmong in Thailand( the same as the Miao in China.
they call themselves so in Thailand). So I thought the Miao in China
seemed to be happier when I knew the fact above mentioned.
Of course those silver accessaries have been inherited
from generation to generation, haveing been treasured.

To the rear part of their skirs
According to a book about China accessaries and clothes,
that colorful belt is called 'flower belt'.
There are many types of flowerbelts such as the one with
embroidery ， hand-woven and so on.
