What did the rulers in ancient china wear?

Answer 1

The history of Ancient China is long and rich, so there were many changes to what men may have worn. For example, towards the end of the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) men of the court wore belted pao robes of silk that were voluminous with large kimono-like sleeves and worn always with a coat (also like a robe) and loose fitting pants underneath. However, everything about fashion in Ancient China depended on one's class and status: the style and materials of the clothes, and even one's hairstyle! The designs or embellishments of the clothing, including color and embroidery, often depended on status and class but also on the season of the year.

You can find out more about the history of dress in Ancient China by checking the Encyclopedia Britannica Public Library Edition, and you can look at men's clothing throughout Chinese history as it appears in art and paintings in Encyclopedia Britannica Image Quest. Your public or school library may have subscriptions to these great resources, and you may be able to log in from home with your library card!
