Yibin folk custom is unique in southern Sichuan, which not only embodies the local cultural characteristics, but also has the infiltration of foreign culture, especially Hunan and Chu culture, so it has remarkable characteristics in food, clothing, housing and transportation, weddings and funerals, folk customs, belief worship and so on. Cao Jiashu, director of the office of Jiang 'anshan Museum in Yibin City, told reporters a few days ago that the old people in Yibin know that the custom of "wearing Yao pants every day in summer and wearing a handkerchief in winter" has been circulating for a long time, and this dress reflects the clothing changes brought by people from Hunan and Hubei to Yibin, Sichuan.
