Qixiong ruqun

Qixiong Ruqun is a type of traditional Chinese clothing that has been worn for many years. It is made up of two main parts: the upper garment and the lower garment. The upper garment is called a "ru" and is a loose-fitting shirt or jacket that goes down to the waist. The lower garment is called a "qun" and is a long skirt that goes down to the ankles.

What makes Qixiong Ruqun unique is the way it is designed. The top and bottom of the outfit are not separate pieces that are connected by a belt or sash, as in other traditional Chinese outfits. Instead, they are connected by a piece of fabric that drapes over the shoulders, giving the outfit a unified look.

This outfit was popularized during the Ming dynasty in China and was worn by both men and women. Women's Qixiong Ruqun were often more decorative, with bright colors and patterns.

Today, Qixiong Ruqun is mostly worn for special occasions or performances, as it is not commonly worn in everyday life. However, it still holds an important place in Chinese culture and is often seen in movies, plays, and other cultural events.
