Each dynasty in China had its own memorable culture. The many facets of color and design that emerged during a dynasty's reign made every aspect of Chinese culture, including our wearing apparel- highly acclaimed works of art. During the Qin and Han dynasties, changes in the style of dress were dramatic. In addition, the Tang dynasty was the most thriving, prosperous, splendid, and glorious period of ancient Chinese culture and art. The style of women’s clothing during the Tang dynasty is the most outstanding in China’s history.Tang dynasty attire had many different styles, and was ever changing, which enabled the look of the Tang dynasty style to remain elegant, noble and poised, and forever unique and amazing. Moreover, Manchurian-style clothing with short narrow sleeves was the popular mode of dress in the Qing dynasty. The style was slender and rectangular in form. The saddle-shaped collar was large enough to cover a person’s cheeks and protect the face. Nowadays, the clothes are becoming more simple and colorful. While pondering these beautiful, fascinating wardrobes of the ancients, one feels a part of their past, and it is easy to realise the broad and profound inner nature of Chinese people.
