Women's status in their families, as well as in society, was particularly low, and they had no inheritance rights. Lifestyle Customs, habits and dress of different clan members vary. Men in northern Luoyu wear sleeveless, buttonless, knee-length black jackets of sheep's wool. They wear helmet-like hats either made from bear skin or woven from bamboo stripes or rattan laced with bear skin. Barefooted, they wear bamboo earrings, necklaces and carry bows and arrows or wear swords at their side.
Women have narrow-sleeved blouses and skirts of sheep's wool.
They also go barefooted. Apart from their silver or brass earrings, bracelets and necklaces, the women wear a variety of waist ornaments such as shells, silver coins, iron chains and bells. Heavy ornaments are considered a symbol of wealth. Diets also vary in different localities. Staple foods are dumplings made of maize or millet flour, rice or buckwheat.
