The history of clothing in China is as important as it is now. The clothing many years ago was usually a Hanfu with a cloth dress underneath it. The Hanfu was one of the most popular things to wear in ancient China. Now it is used on special occasions or sometimes that's what people wear. The clothing that people wear now are what everybody wears all the time, jeans, shirts and a lot more other things. . Would you want a Foot binding? More than a thousand years they have been doing this. A Foot binding is when you're about four to seven or when you're born and they will put a bandage around your foot, so that your toes would be touching your heel. It was very pain full! The bandage would come off when their shoe was three to four inches long. When your foot would be that short, it would look like your foot was cut in half. They still do Foot binding, but not as much. There are not that many royal people anymore. The Chinese hardly do the Foot binding, but know there are more way's to get rid of the pain.

Here, our country want's to be tan, but in China they want to be white. In China almost every women wants to be white. The Chinese women have many transplants so their faces look oval, their hair looks straight, long, and black, they have large eyes, 5'7' in height, and complete absence of moles and freckles. They also use skin cream to whiten their skin. If they are a little ugly, then they will have to marry a person that is on the other side of China.

Now that you have learned about China, you know if you want to go to China and learn a lot more about their culture. Maybe people will carry on the traditions of clothing and its culture.
