What did poor Ancient Chinese people wear?Because most people in that time were poor and could not afford to buy their own clothes (not from shops, because there were no shops, as everyone was working in the fields) they made their own, from hemp or ramie.
Common people wore tunics, which are like really long shirts with pants underneath. Women would wore tunics that went down to their feet with belts. Men wore shorter ones that would only go down tho their knees. In the winter, they wore jackets over their tunics. <---- A poor ancient Chinese person's clothes, most likely worn by a woman, but in a winter situations, a man. |
