Features: "The Wearing Code · Costume Volume (Part 2)" is the 6th volume of the series. Chinese costume culture is profound and vast, deeply rooted in the mysterious Eastern wisdom, philosophical insights into life, an infinite observation and appreciation of nature, and a longing for secular life. All these have accumulated into the historical essence of Chinese costume culture. Meanwhile, the migrations and transformations of numerous ethnic groups, as well as the diverse cultural backgrounds and aesthetic patterns shaped by different regions, have continuously combined to form a rich variety of costume styles and decorative concepts, giving rise to distinct costume production systems. This volume focuses on showcasing the costume art of the Han ethnic group and minority groups such as the Tibetan, Mongolian, Manchu, Hui, Uyghur, Kazakh, Tu, Salar, Ewenki, and Korean ethnicities. It also introduces the developmental trajectory of Chinese costume culture and the mutual influences among the costumes of different ethnic groups.
