For the ancient Chinese, the purpose of clothes was not just for protecting and covering the body, but for showing profound meanings which prevailed in society. Thus, observing the development of clothes gives us a chance to understand their society, economy, culture, and even their mentality. 先秦Pre-Qin During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, people wore a suit of clothes, which consisted of a long top part with a belt around the waist and a lower part. The top part came in five primary colors: blue, red, yellow, white and black. It had short sleeves with a hem that dangled to the knees. Also, the hems of the neck and sleeves would be beautifully embroidered. During war time, more convenient clothes were needed, so a new type of clothing came into being. The long top part was replaced with a short form. The people began to wear trousers and boots, which made it easier to move in combat. This new type of clothing was popular at that time. 漢朝Han Dynasty People in the Western Han Dynasty used four seasons and solar terms to determine the colors of their clothing. For instance, when spring came, they dressed in blue. Women in the Han Dynasty dressed themselves in an outfit that consisted of a blouse and a skirt. The Han Dynasty was powerful and its economy was steady, so its people had higher demands in make-up and clothing. Meanwhile, the famous Silk Road started and promoted the interchange between Chinese and Western cultures. Therefore, silk spread around the world through the Silk Road, and the western style in clothing also began to affect the Chinese. Through this assimilation, new trends emerged. 魏晉南北朝Wei, Jin, Northern and South
