The traditional Chinese clothing, deeply rooted in agricultural civilization and Confucian culture, showcases its inclusive essence by continuously embracing diverse clothing cultures. This results in a dynamic tapestry of ethnic interaction, communication, and fusion. Arranged chronologically, the exhibition unveils the evolution of Chinese attire through approximately 160 clay sculptures crafted in the distinctive style of "Ni Ren Zhang."

Curated by Ms. Xu Chao, the former president of the Chinese Costume Society, and executed by skilled artisans specializing in the "Ni Ren Zhang" technique, these clay sculptures vividly trace the trajectory of Chinese attire. With vibrant hues, meticulous details, and succinct portrayals, these sculptures not only illuminate pivotal milestones in the development of Chinese attire but also evoke an appreciation for the rustic beauty of traditional clay sculpture.
