For example, Dai women in Xinping, Yuxi City wear tubular skirts and have a special flower belt more than a foot long, hence the name "Huayao Dai". Their clothes are mainly in black and red tones. Tight short dresses extend to the upper waist. The neckline is made of fine silver bubbles, showing a diamond pattern that is staggered up and down. There are five or six meters of embroidered belts at the waist, and the peaked "Jifir" hat with upturned brim.

The unique headdress and costumes of Huayao Dai are very similar to the figures on Yunnan bronzes unearthed from Shizhai Mountain in Jinning and Lijiashan in Jiangchuan, and have the same characteristics as vertebral bun, short waist and tube skirt, which proves that they are in the same strain.

Extended data:

The costumes of Huayao Dai are very similar to those of the ancient Yue people in many bronzes unearthed in Yunnan, with similar results. This is especially true for women's wear.

Dai Ya, Dai Ka, Dai Sa and Dai Zhong costumes of Huayao Dai have their own styles. Especially in Dai Ya and Dai, women's clothes are the most gorgeous. They like to inlay their teeth with gold and silver, and wear huge silver earrings, hexagonal silver bracelets and carved silver rings. Six textile women were cast on the textile shell container (Western Han Dynasty) and shuttled to beat up the weft, vividly showing a scene of social production in ancient Yunnan.

The costumes of Huayao Dai people, such as Dai Ya, Dai Ka, Dai Sa and Dai Zhong, all retain the legacy of ancient Yunnan and absorb the cultural connotation in historical development. In particular, the costumes of Dai Sa and Dai Ya are colorful, blending history and culture, and all kinds of patterns and patterns have profound cultural implications.
