There are two basic forms of traditional clothing, namely, upper garment system and garment system. According to legend, the system of coat under coat originated from the legendary era of the Yellow Emperor.

The dress is also an obstacle, so it is self-enclosed. " The shape of the coat is mostly cross collar and right collar, and the lower skirt is similar to the shape of an apron, with a waist tie and a lower tie. This dress system has a great influence on later generations.

Even clothes, called deep clothes in ancient times, were founded in the Zhou Dynasty. "The Book of Rites Deep Clothes" notes: "Those who are named deep clothes are clean clothes." Deep clothes are similar in structure to contemporary dresses. The hem of the coat is sewn at the waist, and the collar, sleeves and hem are made of other fabrics or embroidered edges. The shape of deep clothing influenced the clothing of later generations, which was used as a dress by Ming women in Han dynasty, and also adopted this form of clothing attachment in ancient robes and shirts. Even today's dresses are the evolution of the deep clothing system.
