This book employs interdisciplinary research methods from fields such as history, anthropology, folkloristics, semiotics, costume studies, and design theory. It presents the historical culture and design art of ancient Chinese underwear since the Spring and Autumn period in a dazzling and magnificent manner, showcasing a romantic and secretive image that differs entirely from the strict dress codes of ancient Chinese outerwear.
Additionally, what particularly captures the attention of the academic and art communities is the inclusion of a vast collection of ancient Chinese underwear artifacts collected over the years by the author and the Oudifan Group.
