Ancient Chinese clothing and bamboo

No Chinese object is complete without a representation of one or more of the four favorite plants - of bamboo, Chinese plum, chrysanthemum and orchid. Of these, the bamboo in diverse ways is used. Tableware chopsticks and utensils flutes brushes and even hair accessories.


Combs went on bamboo, ivory, jade and other materials improved the ensemble of ancient Chinese clothing for women. Head-dresses in ancient times include hats for women for men and hair pieces. Traditionally, the Chinese carry their hats indoors and outdoors unlike their Western counterparts.


This is mainly because most hats take off and carry around are too impractical.
Mode of ancient China has evolved continually through the various dynasties. For example, the Emperor declared during the Sui dynasty in 500 AD that only rich people could carry colors while poor people in blue or black had to be dressed.
