Introduction to Wa women: One of the Eighteen Monsters in Yunnan: the girl holds a big pipe in her mouth. Passing by the field, an elderly woman wearing the national costume of the Wa people was picking vegetables in the field. She was wearing a green short coat and a black tube skirt, with a red cloth on her head, a silver bracelet on her wrist, and a silver lock on her body. He had a pipe in his mouth and a small cloth bag hanging on his chest, which contained shredded tobacco. After picking a few vegetables, he would take a few puffs of smoke. I also paid special attention to the pipe, which was made of bamboo. The outside of the pipe is decorated with sterling silver, and the workmanship is very fine. It is also a characteristic of Wa women to never leave the pipe. However, many young women today no longer have this habit.
