Clothing was an indication of class in ancient China. The type of fabrics, colors and embroidery on their clothing indicated people’s status in society. High-ranking people dressed in the finest silk in public. Peasants wore shirt-like garments, made of undyed fibers. From the Sui dynasty onward, only the emperor was allowed to wear yellow. Peasants had to dress in blue or black.
