Features: This book is richly illustrated with images, predominantly visual, where pictures complement and enhance each other. By observing images, we can see society, see China, compare the progress of China's century-old society through images, and compare the development of a hundred years of China through images. We can witness the past poverty and backwardness, and see today's development and progress. It is a highly recommended popular read. Hereby, I write this preface. It depicts the evolution of Chinese clothing through images. It contains 7 major parts: Long braids, long robes, horse collars, and bound feet; Shaving off hair and changing attire; The Republic of China's new uniforms and the innovation of the Zhongshan suit; A mix of Eastern and Western, old and new; The "Lenin suit" and the "" (bodice); The grass-green military uniform and the new fashion of the Cultural Revolution; The era of reform and the vibrant colors.
