Introduction of the introduction: the teacher narrated

All of the animals on the earth, only human beings are wearing clothes. Why do people wear clothes? Some people say it is to protect themselves and keep out the cold, which is explained from a functional point of view; some people say it is to cover their shame and be polite, which is explained from a moral point of view; others say it is to look good and attract the opposite sex, which is explained from an aesthetic point of view. When apes just evolved into human beings certainly did not wear clothes, when our ancestors began to wear clothes? It is not known. Ancient legends attribute the invention of clothes to the Yellow Emperor. The I Ching says, 'The Yellow Emperor, Yao and Shun put on clothes and the world was ruled.' In fact, clothes appeared much earlier. We have found bone needles in the caves of Zhoukoudian, thus we can know that 18,000 years ago the Shandingdong people already wore clothes. In the Yangshao culture site 6,000 years ago, coarse linen marks have been found. In the Liangzhu culture site 4,000 years ago, fine kudzu cloth and silk were found. At that time, people must have worn clothes, because there is no written record, so we know very little, until after the Shang and Zhou we know more. Our first question today is "Modern dress". Let's study together.
