Ancient Chinese people developed these techniques to a higher level. They not only changed fur into coats, but also made feather garments as well.

And unlike modern people, who often only have one or two fur coats, ancient Chinese people had many. Especially those nobles and royals who had a great fortune.

In autumn, their wardrobe was stuffed with fur coats, from lambskin to fox fur to mink.

Facing so many choices, they did not wear one casually, but followed a strict rule that divided the fur coats into three main categories according to the size of the fur.

Anyone who failed to obey the rules would be taken ridiculed.
