When a guest comes to a She village, he might
be asked to sing a song for the village residents.
The She place high value on song and have frequent
celebrations which include singing competitions.
Visitors to a She home must place their umbrellas
outside the home because placing an umbrella inside
the door is a sign of death.
Women wear bright clothing, embroidered with
colorful birds, flowers and geometric patterns.
To complement their wardrobe, they often wear
large sashes and bamboo hats. Lace is often
used to trim clothing. Most girls coil their
hair on top of their heads, tied with a red
wool cord.
She families are organized by "ancestral
temples" with people of the same surname.
Each ancestral temple has a chief who settles
disputes and handles the internal affairs of
the clan.
