China also wore armor in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the typical bright armor style prevailed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties! Europe's all-around heavy armor appeared in the17th century. Prior to this, China's armor style and processing technology were not much different from those in Europe, but each had its own advantages and disadvantages, which were decided according to its own needs. There are not many soldiers who can wear heavy armor, and they are all the main forces of the national army. It's good that other soldiers with different brands have leather armor.

Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, it was already the age of firearms, and the armor for protecting cold weapons had already passed, and it was impossible to resist the attack of muskets. In addition, the Eight Banners soldiers in the late Qing Dynasty were already corrupt and had no fighting capacity. When the British fleet arrived at the coast of China, the Qing court was in a state of no soldiers available.
