Jing Clothes

Jing women hang a piece of rhombic cloth to cover the chest, a narrow-sleeved collarless succinct short gown buttoned down the front and a pair of long and wide black or brown trousers. If they go out or visit friends, they add a narrow-sleeved, succinct cheongsam, usually in white, with high kick pleats. Wealthy people mostly wear black, white or brown clothes made of silk or gauze. Jing women like to wear earrings. They part their hair in the middle, leaving some hair loose on each side of the face. The rest they tie into a plait at the back of the head, wind it round with black strings, and then coil it up on top.

Jing men like to wear a narrow-sleeved gown that reaches the knees with an open front and long and wide trousers. They wear waistband.
