In Qing dynasty China, there were clear rules on what to wear on different occasions. Official dresses were worn when the emperor performed sacrifices at the 'Temple of Heaven' and at other important rituals. Auspicious dresses were for New Year, birthdays and weddings. Military dresses for troop inspection; travelling dresses for hunting and royal visits to provinces, and ordinary dresses for events of a non-celebrative nature, such as mourning. When not performing public duties, however, the imperial family could freely choose which garments to wear - and this book also illustrates these more casual clothes with colourful and stunning fashion dresses made for the court ladies. 650 0 $a Emperors $x Clothing $z China. 650 0 $a Empresses $x Clothing $z China. 650 0 $a Emperors $x Clothing $z China $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Empresses $x Clothing $z China $v Pictorial works. 651 0 $a China $x Clothing. $x Clothing. 651 0 $a China $x Clothing $x Clothing $v Pictorial works. 700 1 $a Wilson, Ming. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180125071850.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825085523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D49906B2EB2911E093D6A0CE6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
