General
customs:
Intermarry is forbidden among the Bai minority,
not even the same ancestry and spouse with
the same surname. Dissimilar than the majority
Han people, sons in the Bai family live separately
to their parents. Bai people are particular
about tea. They like to welcome the guests
by serving the famous Bai special drink –
the Three Courses Tea. These three cups of
tea present the meaning of life just like
the taste of the tea: bitter first, then come
with the sweetness and finally the third one
gives you the aftertaste. There is a folk
saying “Filling full glass of wine shows
respects while full glass of tea has the meaning
of swindle.”, which is the reason why
Bai people never serve you a full glass of
tea. |

Clothing:
Either boys or girls, Bai minority people
are just greatly admire the white color, to
express the elegance and the image of pure.
In Yunnan Eryuan County, men who are in the
mature age always carry an lover-made exquisite
pouch, embroidered with the patterns of birds
and ducks that represent the symbol of love.
Dressing style for girls is always different
in various areas. In Dali, white or light
blue blouse will be matched with the red sleeveless
jacket, embroidered waistcloth and shoes.
Adolescent girls wore their hair braided in
a single long pigtail, then coiled it at the
top of the head with cerise strings and white
headscarf. Married women usually make a coiffure
with a topknot or coil up with the hairpins.
Bai minority people in Dali regard flowers
as beauty. We can see from their clothing
often ornamented with the Camellias. Bai women
also like to wear earrings and bracelets.
