ABSTRACT
Since 2008 when the
Wenchuan earthquake occurred, media from different countries and regions across
the world reported the earthquake so that a less well-known ethnic group of
China, the Qiang ethnic minority, has attracted attention around the world. The
Qiang ethnic minority could be dated back to the Shang Dynasty (ca. 1600-1046BC).
The long-standing Qiang culture is an important part of those brilliant Chinese
cultures. The Qiang’s traditional dress and adornment is an integral part of
the Qiang culture, appreciating unique ethnic characteristics and cultural
meanings. Being against the backdrop of promoting cultural diversity nowadays,
this paper makes a brief introduction to the Qiang’s traditional dress and
adornment and gives an explanation of their rich unique cultural meanings so as
to present the Qiang’s traditional dress and adornment to the world, facilitate
their going out to the world and communication with other cultures in the
world, and enrich the world’s ethnic cultures.
