Symbolic meaning of Miao silver ornaments

The traditional Miao silver ornaments contain cultural memories of the Miao totems, witchcraft, and folk customs. The Miao ancestors believed that silverware had the function of exorcism, detoxification and rickets. At the grand festival ceremony, the Miao girls must wear the silver ornaments to match the costumes. The Hmong girl with many silver ornaments is full of pride, and her parents will be respected by people.

Traditional silver patterns can be found in the myths and legends of Miao ancient songs, such as crystal clear silver crowns, tall silver horns, butterfly wings, flying birds, swirling water swirls, silver medals symbolizing the ancestral temple, etc. The silver ornaments and their patterns enable people to experience the drive of a spiritual power. The traditional Miao silver ornament has the meaning of the Miao cultural symbol.

It is precisely because of this spiritual power that the Miao society has appeared as a silversmith. For example, Yang Guangbin, a senior craftsman at Xiubai Village, Xijiang Town, Leishan County, is one of the outstanding representatives. Yang Guangbin followed his father at the age of 14 and took an apprentice at the age of 15. He is familiar with the processes of smelting, forging, drawing, welding, engraving, knitting, washing and so on. In particular, the hand-drawing technique he mastered can pull the silver ingot into a thinner silver wire than the hair. Yang Guangbin’s deeds have been reported by Xinhua News Agency, People’s Daily, CCTV and other media.
