Miao＇s clothing in Guizhou has complex and varied styles, which can be divided into 12 main types and 81 species. Using techniques such as implication, metaphor, symbol, or homophonic to express feeling with object, all of such clothing not only have the characteristics of historical and cultural records, but also carry the religious and cultural features of ＂animism＂ and the cultural property of life ＂rituals＂. No matter how various the styles, colors, emblazonry, adornment and wearing methods of Guizhou Miao＇s clothing are. they all indicate that ＂the clothing is not clothing but meaning＂, and ＂the emblazonry is not emblazonry but culture＂.
