Features: Regarding clothing, especially the alienation of clothing, the author does not wish to say much. Pointing this out is mainly to illustrate that when studying the history of clothing, more attention should be paid to its cultural significance and less to its natural significance. Especially in the history of clothing in the 20th century, the natural significance has become very little, so studying it is mainly to focus on its cultural significance. As a study of the history of clothing culture, this book explores various aspects of Han clothing in the 20th century. Clothing includes two main parts: clothing and accessories. In fact, clothing and accessories are combined and form an integral whole, often inseparable; if separated, strange phenomena appear. For example, Japanese ethnic clothing includes kimono, Japanese-style haircuts, Japanese geta, makeup, and other factors. Similarly, the clothing of the Yi ethnic group also includes headwear, headscarves, and other factors. Therefore, it is only for the convenience of discussion that they are reluctantly divided into two major categories: clothing and accessories.
