The graceful attire of the Meri clouds reveals the ceremonial dress of the prestigious families

Jiaxing is a silk town, and the skills of decorating flowers, weaving gold, kesi, and embroidery have also reached an extremely high level. The 'Yuer Jin' produced in the mid-Tang Dynasty was famous in Wu Zhong and was exported to Guangzhou. By the Northern Song Dynasty, Xiuzhou Liao had become an imperial tribute. The saying 'endless Wei Tang yarn' became a common saying, and the Puzhou silk 'produced ten thousand pieces daily'. Wang Jiangjing was known as 'clothing the world', and the fame of the silk prefecture remained undiminished. During the Ming Dynasty, the production of cotton cloth was thriving, with most of the summer cloth being used for summer clothing or mosquito nets. Ramie fabric was mainly used in summer, while cotton fabric was the main choice in winter. Ming Dynasty clothing is a model of ancient Chinese clothing art. Based on 'inheriting from the Zhou and Han dynasties and drawing from the Tang and Song dynasties', a series of strict crown and dress systems were established. Represented by the Ming Dynasty clothing from Wangdian Li's tomb in Jiaxing, with its gorgeous patterns, bright colors, and rich accessories, it represents the development level of the weaving industry in the Jiaxing area during the Ming Dynasty. It also reflects the distinctive style, fashion taste, and aesthetic orientation of Ming Dynasty clothing while displaying its nobility and elegance.
