There is a beautiful legend that talks about the adornments of the back wrapping cloth. It is said that long time ago, several Yi girls who were chased by army soldiers hid themselves in the Qinghua cave in the east part of Dali in the turmoil of war. While girls were feeling scared, several spiders came out and wove a web on the cave opening. When chasing soldiers arrived to check out, they figured out that there must be no people hidden inside and then left in a hurry because they saw the spider webs on the cave opening. After the girls escaped from the danger, they embroidered the spider on their felt in order to thank for the spider for saving their lives. This is how the pattern of two circles with a ring of closed angle lines came from. There is another kind of explanation that says that two circles are two open eyes. Wearing a piece of back wrapping cloth will add two more eyes at back, which could scare off the devils and the evils.
