Girls
dancing and very long and loud trumpets being played as part of our welcome
to Gan He village, Ya Rong township, Huishui county, Guizhou province,
south-west China. The people living in this village are known as Qing
Miao. There has been much intermarriage between Miao and Bouyei which
is evident from the every-day costume of the women. The pieced skirts
of applique and wax-resist being worn by the girls were originally only
worn at funerals but today they are worn for special festivals and dance
competitions.
