It tells us about individual people: their personality, age, place in society and so on.

You often find three colors— red, gold and green in the clothing. The first color stands for the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隶),The second is for the rich resources of the African earth, and the third represents the grasslands of home. ‎ ‎ The patterns on the clothing also have a meaning.
