I wonder why Chinese clothing from this Era seems to be so incredibly thick. I've seen multiple videos now with old photos or even actual video, all taken somewhere between 1860 - 1910 and they are almost always like that. Surely they couldn't all have been taken in winter. Just wondering 🤔

@larshofler8298

Жыл бұрын

It's not always thick, it could simply be the shape of the clothing. Mandarin robe for example, the design of it just makes it look like that. Manchu Qing has some strange taste in clothing, that's for sure. I think if we look at previous dynasties, clothing look very different. But China could also be cold. Shanghai has wet, cold winters, and you might not believe me, but it FEELS very cold even when the temperature doesnt look that bad. And i guess in the past, the poor could not afford good clothing, so they would stuff cotton into their clothes, which makes the clothes look thick.

Besides, once the sun expands and scorches our planet, all traces and memories of human existence will be erased. The purpose of life is not to leave a legacy - it is to do something that has value in of itself - even if for just a moment.

That's why so many Chinese people are wealthy all around the globe. They suffered much in this era.
