HBO – It is enduringly popular to see Tay ethnic women wearing their traditional costume when rambling around Da Bac town and Tan Minh, Tan Pheo, Giap Dat and Muong Chieng communes. Integrating with the modern life, the Tay ethnic group, accounting for 40.57 percent of the population of Da Bac district, is preserving and promoting their traditional cultural characteristics every day.
An art troupe in Na Man and Muong Chieng communes in Da Bac district
stages an performance in their traditional costume.
Unlike
men’s outfit, women’s clothing is more sophisticated with three kinds of shirts,
namely short shirts, V-neck style short shirt without button and long shirt, head
scarf, bibs, silk dress and belt.
According
to Xa Thi Thay, head of the art troupe, the colourful traditional costumes show
off Tay women’s beauty and charm. Besides special occasions like Tet or
traditional festivals, the garb is used in Tay women’s daily activities as part
of efforts to preserve their cultural values.
Highlight of the dress is a tight-fitting short shirt with a band clipped with
two lines of silver buttons in the shape of butterfly or cicada. Five, seven or
nine pairs of buttons are arranged in the short shirt. Meanwhile, the
sleeveless bibs are in pink and black colours with sequin decoration in their
necks.
The black or indigo knee-length dresses have two kinds: one with embroidered
waistband and the remainder with sunken floral patterns. Meanwhile, the
skillfully-embroiled Pieu ethnic scarf is a vivid illustration for the Tay
ethnic people’s excellent culture.
The Tay women also use such accessories as necklace, bracelet, earrings and
silver or gold rings.
