The protection of national culture depends first on the people, the second on the guidance of the government, and the third on the needs of the market.

When friends from outside come and consume, there will be a market for our national festivals, clothing and silver jewelry, which can stimulate economic development.

When we wear (Miao) costumes, we can tell which place you are from as soon as you go out. They are all symbolic, and the national costumes are very knowledgeable.

We are constantly innovating now, but when innovating, we must have our Miao elements in it. If you innovate a piece of clothing, it must have Miao embroidery. Combining modern and traditional is a very good product. Now our products have been sold all over the country, including abroad, including the United States and Japan.
