What are the characteristics of traditional clothing?
China people's traditional clothing can be divided into two categories: Chinese clothing and western clothing. After thousands of years of history, China clothing and western clothing have formed their own distinctive styles and systems, which are different in style, modeling, structure, local characteristics, decoration, color, pattern and aesthetic culture, and have their own distinctive national and regional characteristics.

First, the style, the main forms of traditional clothing in China are the front-open, large-breasted and double-breasted styles. Qiankaiyi originated in China and was formed in the era of the Yellow Emperor. There are two basic forms of traditional costumes in China, namely, under the coat and under the clothes. These two forms have been used alternately in the history of China for thousands of years. Women wear coats and skirts, and men wear robes that are connected from top to bottom. The style of western clothing has an evolutionary process. In ancient Greece, clothes were wrapped. From ancient Rome to the Middle Ages, the styles of clothing were mainly wrapped in unformed clothing and semi-formed clothing with open front. In the 4th century A.D., the Germanic people went south, and the body-shaped clothing with the limbs separated by the Germanic people gradually penetrated into the basic style of European clothing. Since13rd century, body-shaped clothing has gradually occupied the main position, and its basic shape is men's tops and trousers, and women's skirts are connected up and down.

Second, the appearance characteristics, the appearance of China traditional clothing emphasizes the sense of longitudinal, naturally drooping from the collar, without exaggerating the shoulders. Sagging lines, long sleeves, cylindrical robes and skirts, and vertical decoration are often used to make the body look slender, especially to make the limbs feel elongated. Clothing in many Asian countries has similar characteristics. Clothing in the Qing dynasty was bulky, with cuffs and hem spread out. The Gao Qi bun and flowerpot shoes of women in Qing Dynasty, together with the cheongsam hanging to their feet, made the flag bearer look slimmer than women in previous dynasties. The slender appearance of the clothing makes up for the short stature of the orientals, creates an optical illusion in the senses, and achieves perfect harmony in proportion. Natural and slender clothes make men look exquisite and elegant, while women look gentle and graceful. At the same time, the smooth clothing modeling is commensurate with the softer contours of China people's faces. The appearance of western classical clothing emphasizes the sense of laterality, and often adopts the shoulder contour with lateral spread, various stiff collars, wheel collars, spread sleeves, huge skirts, overlapping lace and flowers in various parts, starched yarns and padding, which makes the clothing lines exaggerated and radiate outward. The appearance characteristics of western clothing conform to the passionate temperament of westerners, and the facial contour fluctuates obviously, and the figure is taller and straighter than that of orientals.
