First, multi-ethnic areas From the pre-Qin period to the present society, Yunnan has always been a very special place, inhabited by many ethnic minorities. There are many reasons for this. First, Yunnan has a special geographical environment and relatively complex terrain. Due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, ethnic tribes in various regions were in a closed state, and in the long run, different cultural differences were formed. In addition, due to the continuous war in the inland areas of the Central Plains, some Han people came to Yunnan to escape the war. There are also some nomadic people in the northwest who once settled in Yunnan. This is the reason why there are so many ethnic minorities in Yunnan.

Second, national costumes Because there are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, because these ethnic minorities are widely distributed and have many branches, their costumes are also ever-changing and have their own characteristics.

Their clothes are usually clothes with large cuffs, so they will embroider various patterns with bright colors such as red or gold on their chests, collars, sleeves and even the whole clothes. Moreover, under the education of their parents, Yi girls can embroider at an early age, even their own wedding dresses are embroidered by themselves.

Moreover, the beautiful scenery of Yunnan is unique in China, which attracts many tourists and promotes the economic development of Yunnan. There are even many foreigners who don't go far to Wan Li to appreciate the history and culture of China.
