China's traditional costumes are regarded as the quintessence of China, the representative of China's costumes, and the precious wealth created by the Chinese nation and even human society. There are two basic forms of traditional clothing, namely, top-down dress system and clothing attachment system.

According to Shi Ming Shi Fu, the clothing system under the coat reads: "Anyone who wears Japanese clothing. Clothes, rely on it, people rely on it to avoid cold and heat. Jean. The dress is also an obstacle, so it is self-enclosed. " The shape of the coat is mostly cross collar and right collar, and the lower skirt is similar to the shape of an apron, with a waist tie and a lower tie. This dress system has a great influence on later generations.

Even clothes, called deep clothes in ancient times, were founded in the Zhou Dynasty. "The Book of Rites Deep Clothes" notes: "Those who are named deep clothes are clean clothes." Deep clothes are similar in structure to contemporary dresses. The hem of the coat is sewn at the waist, and the collar, sleeves and hem are made of other fabrics or embroidered edges. The shape of deep clothes influenced the clothing of later generations, which was used by Ming women in Han Dynasty, and was also used in ancient robes and shirts.
