I want to know about China's clothing culture.

Clothing is a unique achievement of human labor, not only the crystallization of material civilization, but also the connotation of spiritual civilization. Human society has been marching slowly from ignorance and barbarism to civilization for hundreds of thousands of years. After bidding farewell to apes, our ancestors criticized skins and leaves, wandered in the wind and rain for countless years, and finally struggled to enter the threshold of civilized times, learned to shelter from the wind and rain, and created material civilization. However, pursuing beauty is human nature. Clothing people, like gold to Buddha, not only covers the body and warms the body, but also beautifies it. Almost from the day when clothing originated, people deposited their own life customs, aesthetic tastes, color hobbies, as well as various cultural mentality and religious concepts in clothing, and constructed the connotation of clothing culture and spiritual civilization.

If we look for the historical origin of China's clothing culture from the classics, we will always attribute it to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. For example, "Lu Lan Shi Ben" written by the Warring States describes "Hu Cao making clothes" in Huangdi Neijing; Or, "Apollo and the Yellow Emperor make clothes." This era, relative to archaeological excavations, should be in the heyday of the matriarchal clan commune in primitive society five or six thousand years ago. The artifacts unearthed in this period include spinning wheels, bone needles and steel pendants. Fragments of textiles were unearthed. Pottery paintings on painted pottery unearthed in Gansu, Central Plains, China vividly depict the shapes of the top and bottom.
