With carefully chosen and arranged texts written both in Chinese and English, the books will help both westerners and Chinese readers learn more about the language as well as the history and culture of China. Many colorful illustrations throughout the series will give readers a better understanding of those facts and stories, which tell them about not only history but also how to learn from history.

From the leaves and animal skins in the remote antiquity, to the flax, cotton, and silk in the later ages, to today’s chemical fiber materials, the techniques and materials of garment production have experienced many changes.
