A beautifully presented work illustrating the history and development of Traditional Chinese costumes. Includes many stunning photographs. From the foreword: Personal ornaments came into being first followed by the birth of clothing. Both underwent an extremely complicated though seemingly simple development. The driving force for this process was deep within the Chinese culture itself. It stemmed from the intricate, complicated relationships that worked together to promote a cultural evolution. Initially an important part of the overall traditional Chinese culture, traditional costume developed into a culture of its own over a period of 5000 years and exerted a profound influence on the world general, and in Asia in particular.
