China Adorned by Deng Qiyao
A richly illustrated exploration of the traditional costumes and adornments of China’s ethnic minorities, this volume combines documentary photography with cultural context to reveal how textiles, embroidery, silverwork, dyeing, and weaving encode identity, belief, and social ritual. It surveys regional styles and techniques, examines the symbolism behind motifs and ceremonial dress for festivals and life-cycle events, and considers the impact of modernization alongside efforts to sustain fragile artisanal traditions.
