The smell on the tip of the tongue
She's food, which also has a long history, is an excellent representative of She's culture.
In the Culture of the She, "March 3rd" is known as the "Festival of Grain Rice", and it is natural that the special rice made on this day is indispensable. The leaves of the black barley are steamed together with the glutinous rice, which is called "black rice".

She's wind in costume
There is a mantra of the Shes, "It is better to wear thin clothes than to be without a shawl", which shows that the People of the She's have a special love for shawls.
The shawl is one of the ancient ornaments of the She people and also a historical and cultural symbol of the She. Some Shanha shawls, with the stripes of She's costumes as the main tone, take the She's symbols as the main body, and between them are "phoenix eggs" to highlight the honor, and the clouds on both sides arch each other, implying auspiciousness. The shawl usually uses the warm clothing elements of the She ethnic group to set off the honor and auspiciousness, expressing the desire of the She people for a better life. If the She people give it to you, express their highest courtesy and sincere blessings!
Weaving is also one of the important products of She's costume culture, it is divided into bamboo weaving, straw weaving, rattan weaving, thread weaving... It is a product of mountain farming culture and is closely related to people's production and life. In ancient times, the Hanshe people of Shunchang County "relied on the mountains to eat the mountains", and bred tens of millions of skilled craftsmen who were skilled in weaving skills, which was the epitome of technical culture.
There are also paper-cutting and embroidery, and the beautiful paper-cutting and embroidery are the memories of the evolution of ancient civilization to the present, and they are also the wisdom of the Hanshe people, especially women.
Generally speaking, the creators of she's costume patterns are mostly native working women, who make costumes solely for their own use, and are not constrained by the demand for goods. In the design and production process, they are free to do what they want and are creative. Technically, or embroidery in the middle of the pick, or a combination of weaving and embroidery, everything starts from actual life, so that these costume patterns are full of flowers and flowers, overflowing with color and light, showing distinct national artistic characteristics.
In addition to the most famous "phoenix suit", the Shes also have many eye-catching costumes waiting for you to meet.
The love of the members of the song

In order to welcome guests from all over the world, the She people will use a song and dance performance with great national characteristics to make the guests feel the strong national customs.
The drum symbolizes prosperity and progress. Drumming is the expression and embodiment of the dignity and joy of the Chinese nation.

If there is music, how can there be no song.
Shecun has always been "no one does not sing" and "no words do not sing", and the mountain songs of the She ethnic group have always retained the essence of ancient Chinese mountain song chanting. The industrious and brave She people can sing and dance, and their joys and sorrows are expressed through singing, and every festival, they will use the original ecological songs of the Shes to sing the most beautiful praise for life.
