In the scenic mountains of Butuo, the birthplace of the Torch Festival, Yi women don their vibrant traditional costumes and stroll through nature carrying iconic yellow oil-paper umbrellas. This stunning sight isn’t just visually captivating—it symbolizes sunlight, hope, and life in Yi culture.
Yellow in this tradition represents a deep ancestral worship of the sun, blending beauty, belief, and identity into one enduring image. Even in our fast-paced, tech-driven world, traditions like these remind us to embrace our heritage and find inspiration in the stories of our past. ☀️🌄
