Bai ethnic group worships white tiger, therefore, white is the main color of their national costume and headwear. Butterfly, octagonal petal flower and octagonal diagram are favorite subjects of their embroidery works to idolize the sun.
Likewise, from the attire of Naxi ethnic group who idolizes sheep totem, a northwestern tribal culture featuring farming and animal husbandry can be traced. Naxi women's headwear is a roll of blue cloth in a half circle, matched with a stripe cross on the chest and white sheep leather skirt laced with black sheep hair.
