Detail of embroidery on the back of a Qi Li woman's embroidered blouse purchased in 2005 in in the style of those from Changjiang in Hainan Island as illustrated in 'Traditional Culture of Li Ethnic Group' (see China bibliography). On page 80 the book says 'in Wangxia township of Changjiang county, a relatively ancient and complete set of habits and customs have been retained with a unique dress and adornment for women'. All the women'ts blouses shown in the book where they are attributed to Changjiang are similar to the one illustrated here. Women wearing such blouses are also shown in various chapters of the book although without any group or location indicator..
