Yunnan Tour Feedbacks
Yi Ethnic Lacquer Wares

(Eagle claws are used as the holders of the Yi ethnic lacquer wine vessels.)

The most outstanding lacquer wares in Shangri-la (former Zhongdian) area are wine vessels designed in the shapes of eagle claw, goose claw, horn and boar hoof. Admiring raptors and fierce beasts, the Yi ethnic people in Shangri-la in old times used these utensils to show off their nobility and power.  

Patterns on lacquer wares include natural patterns, animals, plants, life scenes, production scenes, and cultural images, among which animals are the most dominating-and followed by plants. This can be why the Yi ethnic group underline the animal husbandry in their life, since they had undergone a long nomadic history, settled down and finally survived on farming.
