Figleafing Through History: The Dynamics of Dress


5. Comments:

1. It was kind of a mix.. so first the chinese resent themself as elegant manner and educated on a high value. So the robes that they wear represent that as well.
2. Back to some silk history as of the silk route between the far east and near east. That the enemies like the Huns also wanted them.
3. Along that route was the parthians where they dress themselves and the horse during wars in fine metal to protect themselves and their animals. Iranian Parthians.
4. The next culture was the celts. They're from Scotland and they was still wearing knitted kilt instead of trousers and it was for cermonials events.
5. The clts usually wore anything closely to be being simple but have some kind of kilt on them.

4. Questions:

1.Why did China mostly have silk and not other type of fabric?
2.Who are the huns? And what that have to do with Jao? Was he a king of a country?
3.Did the silk from China have any impact of the celts ?
4. Why did China focus on trading if most of it's people wanted items from varies of other location?
