  2. Firs of all, this article made the perfect job in grabbing my attention with the images and the colors. Besides the different pictures that explain each clothe during the different dynasties, it also shows the connection between the clothes, politics, economy, and the different social classes which I didn't know. It was very interesting to learn something new.
