Asian red vest dragons
Ancient Chinese clothes were more than just garments to cover the body. The rich and poor dressed very differently in ancient China. Poor people wore hemp backpacks which were durable, loose fitting, and comfortable for working in the fields. Lower-class people could be punished for wearing silk clothing. An emperor could only dress in yellow, and during the Shu dynasty poor people were only allowed to wear blue and black. When the Mongols conquered China, they brought cotton with them, and the use of cotton for clothing begin in the Yuan dynasty.
