The clothing of the Huayuan Miao men is wrapped around the head with a cloth pad, the Yayou area is a flower pad, and the rest of the area is a green pad, which is 1-3 meters long and wears multiple layers of "herringbone". He wears a cardigan with long and small sleeves, short and large trousers, and a blue wrap around his feet. Most of the clothing is self-woven "home machine clothes", Yan painstakingly has checkered, all-green, all-blue, etc., and the checkered clothes are the most distinctive.

After the liberation, the Miao costumes gradually changed, and now except for Jiwei, Buzhuo, Yaxi, Paibi, Nesting, Dong Maku and other townships and towns wear Miao costumes, the rest of the townships and young men and women are dressed in clothes, and there is no difference between them and the Han nationality.

2. Diet. Before liberation, the Huayuan Miao people took rice and grain as their staple food, supplemented by red vetch, barley, wheat, millet, horse beans and other miscellaneous grains, generally ate two meals a day, five famine and six months or disaster years, poor people often used bran vegetables to satisfy hunger. After the liberation, the people's living standards improved, and in the late 70s, rice was the main food they ate, and other miscellaneous grains were gradually converted to raw materials for the food industry or livestock feed.

In addition to the fresh vegetables produced by the Miao people, the most distinctive feature of Miao Lai cuisine is pickled hot and sour food, such as sauerkraut, sour soup, hot and sour seeds, spicy sauce, etc., all of which are Miao home-cooked dishes. The Miao family has always been hospitable, and the guests always have to treat each other with wine and meat, the wine has glutinous rice wine, baogu wine, and the meat has pigs, cattle, sheep, fish, chickens, ducks, etc. Miao Township usually buys fish and meat is inconvenient, in order to avoid the guests to arrive after the temporary inconsiderate, therefore, the general people use special methods to marinate sour fish, sour meat, bacon to entertain guests.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with the development of the commodity economy, meat is abundant, can be bought at any time, there are few people who pickle sour fish, no one pickles sour meat, and the wine and food that entertains guests are not much different from those of the Han nationality.

3. Festivals. There are many festivals of the Miao people in Huayuan, except for the Spring Festival, Spring Society, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival.

The customs of our Lao people are very diverse: there are grasping the week, there are keeping the New Year, and there are worshipping heaven and earth ......I'm going to introduce a few of them today.

First, we have the special dumplings of the old people, we have to make all kinds of dumplings every time we celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve, there are mung bean dumplings, leek dumplings, tofu dumplings, and even chili dumplings. It makes people want to take another bite after eating it. At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, there must be fish, and if there is fish, you can't eat it.

Some people will ask, why don't you eat? Because our old people leave the fish on the table to say that there is more than every year, if we eat the fish, won't it become a surplus every year?

The second is to grasp the week, and everyone may not have heard of the word "grasp the week". Catching the week means that people who are one year slower have to catch the week. Take a bigger basin and let the little child sit on it, and put a notebook, toys, a computer, and a few things on it.

We shot firecrackers outside the door, and the kid started to catch it, and if he caught the book, he would definitely be a very good learner when he grew up; If he catches a toy, he must be a very playful person when he grows up; If he had caught a computer, he would have grown up working as a computer. After that, we threw money at them while he was caught, and if the child didn't take the money, we adults put the money in his hands. Because we all want him to be a rich man when he grows up.

We still have a lot of customs of the old people, if you want to know, go to the local area to understand!
