Features: Chinese clothing culture, from the primitive society, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, to the Qin and Han dynasties, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, to the Sui and Tang Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, as well as the modern era, has been noted by the world for its distinct characteristics. This book can serve as a reference work for examining the clothing of the Chinese nation. Many friends who love clothing culture may now know the author's pioneering role in the study of Chinese clothing history, but they might not be aware that he once wrote entries for the Great Encyclopedia of China. Now presented to readers, the text is largely the original form of that entry. The selection of materials and the perspective of expression are carefully balanced, but they can only be described verbally. This is a magnificent work, beautifully produced, and is undoubtedly suitable as a national gift and a rare treasure in book collections. However, from the perspective of social promotion, it may be somewhat inconvenient.
