(4)Miao is a term employed in contemporary China to designate a category of ethnic groups residing in southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. The Miao constitute the largest ethnic minority in China without an autonomous region. Their communities are concentrated primarily in the mountainous regions of southern China, encompassing the provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan. Certain subgroups, most notably the Hmong, migrated from China into Southeast Asia, settling in Myanmar, northern Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand.Silver ornaments have long held great significance among the Miao. Prior to marriage, a young woman was expected to possess a complete set of silver ornaments and clothing, with a silver necklace regarded as essential. Weddings and major festivals provided occasions for women to display their finest attire and ornaments. Neck adornments rank among the most diverse categories of Miao silverwork and often exceed other types of ornamentation in variety. They continue to be worn in many regions by both women and men.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related three-tiered silver neck ornament, Miao people, China, Guizhou province, 20th century, 46.7 cm long, in the Bowers Museum, Santa Ana, California, object number 2008.6.20a-c.
