Silverware is an important part of the Dai people's costumes. It is also an important embodiment of the cultural progress and development of the Yi nationality. The art of silverware processing is the national craftsmanship passed down by the Yi people. The people who are engaged in the processing of silverware are called silversmiths in the township. The processing of Yi silverware is exquisite in craftsmanship and complicated in procedures. Generally, it requires five processes such as blowing, forging, setting, scrubbing and polishing. What is interesting is that in the Yi villages where the three provinces of Hunan, Guizhou and Guihuan are mixed, the silversmiths all appear in the form of family workshops. The production of silver ornaments is usually done by male craftsmen. Dai silver ornaments, according to the needs, the silversmith first made the smelted silver into thin slices, silver bars or silver wires, using the techniques of pressing, smashing, engraving, smashing, etc. to make beautiful patterns and then welding them (non-industrial welding, but using pure Manual furnace welding method) or braid molding. Each of its combinations is designed to blend the style, charm, taste and aesthetic consciousness, showing a high degree of beauty and form. In addition to being an expert in the hammering work, the Yi silversmith is also a master in the design. The Yi silversmiths are good at drawing inspiration from women's embroidery and batik patterns. They pay attention to the details or partial depictions according to their traditional habits and aesthetic tastes. Yi women like to wear a variety of silver ornaments during grand festivals or celebrations.
