Title: I'm hearing different stories of the Xauv.
Post by: YAX on July 27, 2018, 01:48:19 PM

So, is it worn to ward off evil spirits or is it worn because in the old days, Hmong people were required to wear a xauv around their necks because they were slaves to the Chinese?

There's no credible research on that yet. All it is now is a fasion and decorative item.
