The housewife's room is in the right corner. The husband's room is outside the hall on the right. The guest room is in the left corner of the lobby, and the girls' room is next to the stairs in the right corner, which is convenient for them to communicate with boys. The biggest feature of this layout is that husband and wife live in separate rooms and follow ancient customs. At present, the internal structure of the main fence has changed slightly, but the basic pattern remains unchanged.
Dress style
There are three main colors of Zhuang costumes: blue, black and brown. Zhuang women have the habit of planting cotton and spinning. Spinning, weaving and dyeing are cottage industries. The cloth made of self-produced and sold cotton yarn is called "home machine", which is thick and wearable, and then dyed blue, black or brown. Indigo can be dyed blue or cyan, fish pond can be dyed black, and yam can be dyed brown. Zhuang costumes are different. Men's and women's costumes and headdresses for men, women and unmarried women have their own characteristics.
Men's and women's wear

The right lapel shirt has no collar, and the button is opened from the right armpit to the waist and then to the center, and then opened three or four inches. The skirt is inlaid with colorful cloth more than an inch wide and tied with a long belt. A tight shirt with an open chest, only the length of the navel, is worn at work. Women's wear has a collarless right lapel, but the sleeves are larger than men's, nearly feet wide and knee-wide, with welts, and the edges are wide and thin, usually more than two or three. The cloth on the inside of the shoulder is opposite to the outside, and three lines are sewn, which is called "reverse shirt". The buttons of men's and women's shirts are brass buttons or Bunyo.

Married women have a lace Chinese-style chest covering, and a spiky tube is hung on the left side of the waist trousers, which is connected with the key and makes a "noisy" sound when walking. Men's robes are used to wearing robes and wearing a short coat outside, commonly known as "robe plus coat". At first, they wore a round hat. Later, they wore a hat.

Strange headdress

Usually, they comb the left hair to the right (about 37 minutes) and fix it with a hairpin, or tie a long braid and a colored towel at the end of the braid and fix it on the top of the head at work. Married women comb their hair into a dragon and phoenix bun, gather it into a chicken (phoenix) hip shape from back to front, and insert silver or bone cross hair pins. Nowadays, people who rarely wear green gauze white handkerchiefs mostly use black handkerchiefs or flowered handkerchiefs. Most of them are middle-aged women and like to wear embroidery to cut their foreheads. In winter, women wear black wool hats, and the fancy of the brim changes with age. Both men and women wear cloth shoes. Middle-aged women love to wear their own cat-ear cloth shoes, commonly known as shoe cats, which are shaped like sandals, ears and heels. They are strung together with a flat gauze belt and tied at will to adjust the tightness. Children's headdress: Children's hats are uncovered hats sewn with embroidered strips of two or three inches wide. The Zhuang customs recorded in ancient books, such as "stepping on the foot" and "covering the forehead", are reproduced on children's hats, which can not only protect their heads, but also play a decorative role. Babies' suspenders are much larger and butterfly-shaped than those of ordinary Han people. The butterfly body is three feet long and two feet four inches wide. It is embroidered with patterns or bagua Gankun pictures, and rarely embroidered with words. The "butterfly wings" on both sides are nine feet long and one foot two inches wide. This kind of strap is called "pull". After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the size of this kind of suspenders gradually became smaller, and some suspenders were called "wax" in strong words. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the size of this kind of suspenders gradually became smaller, and some suspenders were embroidered with words such as "safe entry and exit" and "happiness" to replace the original patterns.
Both men and women wear cloth shoes.
Culture and art
