What are the names of the clothes worn in ancient times?

Different dynasties and periods have different names.

Both men and women in Shang Dynasty adopted the shape of the upper and lower sections, and put on clothes and dresses. Later generations called clothes "clothes", which was derived from this.

The greatest contribution of the Western Zhou Dynasty and its influence on later generations is the perfection of the dress system (also known as the crown service system).

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the costume system of the Tang Dynasty, which was based on the mutual influence and systematic formation of Hu costume and Han costume, appeared the parallel situation of "legal costume" and "regular costume", and the costumes of the Tang Dynasty also had great influence on neighboring countries.

The official system in Song Dynasty basically followed the previous generation, so the official clothes in the palace were similar to those in the previous generation, which were divided into royal clothes, sacrificial clothes, official clothes, military uniforms, mourning clothes and seasonal clothes.

The Yuan Dynasty was an era of ethnic integration in China's history, and costumes also fully reflected this feature. The "quality sun suit" system with big beads on the shoulders is called "monochrome suit" or "quality sun suit" by the Han people.

The Qing Dynasty was a political institution ruled by Manchu rulers. The customs and habits of the flag bearer influenced the Central Plains, and the flag bearer appeared, such as cheongsam.

Nowadays, the popular ancient costumes are "Hanfu", "Tangzhuang" and cheongsam.
