"grass skirt"的定义和意义

What is a "grass skirt"?

A grass skirt is a type of skirt made from the dried leaves of grasses or similar plants. It is commonly associated with Hawaiian culture and is often worn as a costume for performances or celebrations. Grass skirts are typically made by attaching the leaves to a waistband or string, creating a dense, flowing fringe that moves with the wearer's movements. The skirt can vary in length from just above the knee to ankle length and may be worn with additional decorative elements such as flowers or shells. Although traditionally made from natural materials, modern grass skirts may also be made from synthetic fibers.
