Salar women start learning to embroider as girls. They are taught by their mothers and grandmothers. They also gain inspiration and learn from their peers. Through practice, they build up their experience and skill. So by the time they marry, they are already accomplished with a needle. The Salar are well known for their hospitality and observance of etiquette. When it comes to entertaining guests, the Salar do not resort to quick, stir-fried food. Rather, they serve stews, steamed dishes and other more elaborate fare. (Photo/CGTN)
