The historical origin of national costumes in Inner Mongolia;

The origin of Mongolian costumes can be traced back to distant prehistoric times. As early as the Paleolithic Age, humans began to decorate themselves with leaves of plants, and later made clothes out of hunting skins. On the rock paintings of nomadic people in the north, ancient humans in the Mongolian plateau have been seen, with a short animal skin skirt around their waist, feathers on their heads, and some hips and tails.

Moreover, a large number of rough stone rings, bone ornaments and other items have appeared, indicating that the nomadic people in the north have had aesthetic intentions and aesthetic pursuits long ago.

According to archaeological data, the costumes of Mongolians come down in one continuous line with the costumes of ancient northern nomads in China. According to the biography of Xiongnu in Han Dynasty, the headdress of Xiongnu women who eat animal meat and wear fur felt is very similar to that of Chahar women. The costume culture of Xiongnu was passed on to northern nomadic peoples such as Xianbei, Rouran and Turkic, and of course to Mongols. One of the characteristics of these national costumes is to adapt to the plateau climate.
