The two-piece suit with top and bottom pants is the most basic traditional clothing style of Shaanxi people. This kind of Chinese jacket and pants are tailored and sewn by peasant women, and the material of the clothes is also the cloth woven by the peasants themselves, which is mostly white in summer and gray, black and blue in autumn, winter and spring, and there is a proverb that "winter is green, summer is white, and spring and autumn are an anchor of ink".

The Qing Dynasty, men wore robes, the style of the straight collar with a slanted lapel, nailed cloth pimples buttons, ankle-length. Earlier, when wearing the robe, outside the coat must be set, to the Republic of China period, the robe is used alone. The robe is a symbol of social status in the old days, often for the rich merchants, squires, intellectuals attire, the working people usually rarely wear robes, only encountered major celebrations or important ceremonial interactions only to wear blue cloth tunic.

The waistcoat is a man's garment from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, used as a dress. The coat was long and stocky, with elbow-length sleeves, and was placketed and worn over a long shirt. The material is mostly black or tawny satin. Horse coat is a Manchu riding coat, easy to increase or decrease, not only to protect from the cold, but also conducive to riding and shooting.

The old sheepskin jacket is bulky and looks rustic, but it is very warm, so the farmers love it, and the sheep farmers can't live without it.

Women wear a long shirt called "cheongsam", which is the most national characteristics of women's clothing. The cheongsam is a Manchu women's robe, after the 1911 Revolution, Han Chinese women also commonly worn. It can be used as both dress and casual clothing for all seasons. The cheongsam has had several ups and downs, but is still popular today. The cheongsam has undergone numerous changes in terms of waist, length, slit, sleeve, neckline and hemline. The whole appearance of the cheongsam changed from a loose straight line to a curved line that hugged the waist and emphasized the chest, waist and hips, showing the clear and smooth curves of the female figure. The characteristic of cheongsam is that the upper and lower garments are not divided, which eliminates the trouble of sewing and matching of shirts and pants, shirts and skirts. And it is like a skirt, not a skirt, wearing a comfortable, light and airy walk, looks very slim, very beautiful, but also very generous. Its modeling and Chinese women's gentle, shy, subtle character is extremely harmonious, and therefore by the Chinese women's general popularity. 50's, cheongsam was regarded as feudal landlords and bourgeoisie products, once not very popular, 80's after the restoration of the vitality, and novel design, style variety, long-sleeved, short-sleeved, high slit, low slit, round neck, square neck, high neck, low neck, and so on various kinds of competition for the beautiful, colorful, fully displaying the new style of modern women.

This kind of clothes not only had good warmth, but also had some practical value. When you go to the vegetable field to pick melons and beans, you don't need to carry baskets and cages, you lift up the front of your shirt with one hand and pick with the other, and when you've picked enough, you go home with your arms. Going to the village store to buy small miscellaneous goods also do not bring pockets, the front lapel lift, one by one loaded down, can be leisurely and return.
