Traditional costumes of Yi people, as symbolic carriers of their ethnic culture, record the history, traditions,customs and social life of the ethnic group. Ancestors of Yi people worshipped the tiger as their totem and believed they were descendants of the tiger. Yi women prefer to embroider tiger patterns on costumes and daily objects. Tiger-shaped caps, shoes and bellybands are the must for newly-born babies.
