legal system and the Hmong what the cultural and medical differences can cause.
Hmong is only a group of the Miao. Not all Miao are consider Hmong. Like Qho Xiong in Western Hunan are also consider Miao. Miao is only an umbrella term in China for tribal minorities.

Well, hmong women and teenage girls [tweens] sew the hmong clothes for simply to wear. But, it's also important to us because there are different kinds of hmong people, and on New Years day, we would wear special beautiful dresses that indicate us women if we are hmong green, white..etc. White Hmong women would wear white skirts..etc. Special patterns have been made like cross-stitching, chain stitch..
