摘要
Yi people have a tradition of wearing colorful headgear, which is part of their unique culture. Yi people have many sayings about the tradition, such as ＂Birds are pretty because of their features, and people are pretty because of their headgear,＂ and ＂Han people care about their footwear, while Yi people care about their headgear.＂ Much of the headgear is derived from their original totems or their plant or animal worship.
彝族同胞特别注重头饰的装扮。多彩的彝族头饰流传数千年至今，形成了独树一帜的头饰文化。＂鸟美在羽毛，人美在头饰＂、“汉人顾脚，彝人顾尖”成为他们对传统头饰文化最好的诠释。彝族形态各异的头饰很多都缘于他们古朴的图腾或动植物崇拜。
