The whole world is unique to Manchu women, thus becoming a typical national dress feature, which is very eye-catching.

in the past, Manchu women had to learn to ride and shoot like boys when they were young, and hairdressing and boys were more likely to shave off the hair around their heads, leaving only two hair braids for some hair, hanging on the temples, until they reached adulthood at the age of 16.

After marriage, they began to have big pot heads, shelf heads and two heads, and two of them were typical.

The two is to put the hair on top of the head and divide it into two pieces, each into a bun, then the remaining hair into a swallow tail type long bun.

At ordinary times, the head hairpin, which is twenty or thirty centimeters long and two or three centimeters long, is called "big flat square". When it is on auspicious auspicious days or when guests are invited, it is necessary to wear the answer.

"P", "banner head" Manchu, is called "La La Chi". It is a headwear worn by Manchu women in general ceremonies or wedding occasions.

The specific method is to use iron wire or bamboo and rattan as the hat rack, and use the green satin, the green velvet or the green yarn to cover the face, wrapped in a fan shaped headdress with a length of about more than 30 centimeters and a width of more than 10 centimeters.

When you wear it, you can fix it on the top of the bun.

It often embroiders designs, inserts jewelry or inserts the decoration each kind of flower, hangs the long tassel.

This headwear is mostly used by the upper women of Manchu nationality.

In the past, Manchu women were different from Han women. They advocated vigorous strength, mountaineering and horse riding, refused to bind feet and bad habits, and the beauty of feet and feet.

This kind of decoration is made of beautiful Embroidered Flag shoes with wood as its sole and its shoes roots in the center. These shoes are commonly known as "flag shoes" or commonly known as "high floor shoes".

There are two main types of "high floor shoes", one is "flower pot bottom" shoes, the other is "shoes with horseshoe bottom".

Its wood bottom heel is generally about 5-10 centimeters, some can reach 14-16 centimeters, the highest can reach 25 centimeters.
