The Lisu nationality in Nujiang Prefecture is a minority nationality located in the southwest border of China. Its traditional costume is the cultural heritage with local characteristics and the crystallization of Lisu People's wisdom. Most of the previous studies on Lisu costumes were from a macro perspective. However, these studies did not specifically focus on a specific area of Lisu costumes and division in-depth, nor did they conduct research on the differentiation of Lisu costumes in a specific area.
