Lisu clothing is very colourful, the most common is black fabric as a base, and then colourful threads are embroidered on the clothing with flowers and plants that the Lisu people like. The natural calendar of the Lisu is very rich in ethnic and regional characteristics. They use the changes in natural phenomena such as the opening of mountain flowers, the cries of mountain birds, and the flying of snow as a means of determining the seasonal patterns of production.
