Clothing in ancient Shu
Clothing of the Ancient Kingdom of Shu
Clothing in ancient Shu refers to clothing worn in the Ancient Kingdom of Shu (1046 BC? – c. 316 BC, modern-day Chengdu Plain, Sichuan). Archaeological finds in Sanxingdui and Jinsha sites have provided the best source of information on ancient Shu costume. Shu clothing's right over left lapel closing (zuoren) was considered "very strange" by Yang Xiong, a 1st-century BC author from Pi County, Chengdu, as in contrast to contemporary Chinese Western Han clothing's left over right lapel closing (youren).[2]
