Chinese clothing is a cornerstone of its civilization, dynamically evolving over thousands of years through dynastic traditions and cultural exchanges, profoundly reflecting social class and regional identity. Its origins are traditionally attributed to the mythical Yellow Emperor Huangdi and his wife Leizu, with early garments quickly becoming symbols of authority and specific identities. Archaeological findings, such as a 19,000-year-old bone needle from the Mountain Top Cave, reveal ancient people crafted simple attire for warmth, protection, and adornment. Significant advancements in the Neolithic Age, including the invention of textile technology, looms, and early silk production, transformed clothing into diverse woven fabrics and standardized styles like headscarves, further marking social distinctions.
