Hakka bride’s clothing

Mountain Hakka clothing, whether tops or trousers, maintains the loose and baggy ancient style. Men wear long clothes, long jackets, and large cardigans that are buttoned from the right armpit. The clothes are buttoned with cloth buttons, and copper buttons are used in particular. Pants are not divided into men and women, and there is no distinction between front and back. The legs of the trousers are wide, making it easy to tie them up for working in the fields. The crotch is deep and the head of the trousers is wide. The waistband of the trousers with large crotches needs to be folded to be tightened. It is usually tied with a cloth belt or a woven belt. In hot weather, they usually wear short-breasted T-shirts, and civilians often wrap their heads with white or green cloth five or six feet long. Women's tops are usually knee-length and have large cuffs. Unmarried women wear long braids, and married women wear hairpins in their buns. Women participated in labor at sunrise, and insisted on spinning and weaving at night or during farm slack. Some families used to own spinning wheels, looms, and straw shoe machines. It is very popular to use self-produced cotton to spin yarn or buy yarn to weave cloth. Housewives dye the woven homespun cloth with indigo made from self-grown orchid leaves (Isatis root leaves) into blue-blue cloth, then plasticize and roll it to make it durable. The traditional women's clothing they made from this cloth was mostly a large cardigan that buttoned from the right armpit. Hakka women attach great importance to saving, so they cherish the clothes they wear. They usually wear old and heavily patched clothes to participate in labor. They only wear newer and brightly colored clothes on festivals, festive days or when visiting relatives. Under normal circumstances, adults' clothing is basically blue, indigo and black as the main colors. This color is stain-resistant and washable without being ostentatious. It is the best choice for Hakka people who work for many years and go out to the mountains and countryside. It is also an external manifestation of the Hakka people's character traits of being soft on the outside and strong on the inside, hardworking and thrifty. Women's clothes are mostly blue, while older women like to wear gray and black. Some families with relatively wealthy families also decorate women's skirts, cuffs, etc. with lace trim, but the floral decorations are by no means complicated and gorgeous. Hakka women in traditional villages do not wear makeup and are rarely seen wearing earrings and jewelry. Girls, sisters-in-law, and old ladies all like to embroider stocking soles, hats, and suspenders into beautiful works of art, stitch by stitch. Unmarried Hakka women usually wear a braid on the back of their heads, while married women tie the braid into a bun, insert a silver hairpin into the bun, and cover or wrap it with a "head skirt" on the chest. Tie an apron with a pattern made of thread in the middle, symbolizing adulthood. Hakka women's head skirts are considered the most "luxurious" among their clothing. They are embroidered with lace around the edges, and in the middle are embroidered with colorful threads to embroider various patterns of insects, birds, fish, and animals. The head skirt also has many uses. It can be tied on the head to protect from the sun and cold; it can also be tied around the waist as an apron to block oil and dust; it can also be used to wrap items and tie things under special circumstances. Hakka women do not bind their feet, do not pierce their breasts, do not hire wet nurses for their children, and no one works as a prostitute. The folk customs are simple. Although Hakka girls are not charming, they are praised for their frugality, hard work, and cleanliness. In daily life, people usually get up before dawn to light a fire and cook, and go to the fields or go up the mountains to chop firewood at dawn. Hakka women generally do not pay attention to their appearance and clothing. They dress simply and plainly without applying makeup, giving people a simple, clean and natural good impression, and exuding a healthy and fresh breath from head to toe. On the surface, they look a little gray and lack the beauty of women, but their inner world is extremely fulfilling and self-sufficient. This makes them live a happier and happier life than those women who put on makeup and have their feet bound and their waists tied to please men.
