Will bringing underwear to ancient times inspire ancient women's shopping enthusiasm?

I don't think so, because underwear has existed since ancient times.

China underwear has a long history. The earlier ancient underwear was called "obscene clothing". "Blasphemy" means "frivolous and indecent", and "blasphemy" can be simply understood as "underwear". The ancient people's mentality towards underwear was obscure and evasive. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, underwear was called "belly support". The Tang Dynasty was one of the most civilized times in the history of China. The thought of the Tang people was civilized in this period, when the strapless underwear "terminalia chebula", also called "Xunzi", appeared.

This is related to the fact that women in the Tang Dynasty like to wear semi-nude skirts. They tied their skirts high on their chests, tied a wide belt at the lower part of their chests, exposing their shoulders, chest and back, and covered them with a looming translucent tulle. Obviously, underwear with shoulder straps is not beautiful enough. This is also the beginning of underwear. "terminalia chebula" fabric is exquisite, bright in color, thick to the touch, stiff and slightly elastic, strapless, with two shoulder straps tied under the chest when worn.

It was called "main waist" in Ming dynasty, and its shape continued the form of "acacia lapel" in Yuan dynasty. There are three lapels on the left and right lapels, crotch on the shoulders and straps on the waist. After all lapels were fastened, they formed an obvious waist, which was very figure-showing, which was related to the romantic culture formed by the frustrated literati in the Yuan Dynasty who mostly wandered in romantic places over time.

Known as "Chinese-style chest covering" in Qing Dynasty, it has only the front piece, which is generally diamond-shaped. Below is an inverted triangle with a belt on it, which is worn between the two belts at the neck and waist, much like the current "apron". The material is mainly cotton and silk, and the straps used for binding are silk, gold chain, silver chain and copper chain. "Belly pocket" is usually red, and there are all kinds of exquisite embroidery on it.
