Chang'ao
Chang-ao (), lit. translated as "long jacket" or "long ''ao''", is a historical long-length, Chinese upper garment called ''ao'' (袄), which was worn by women. It is also known as ''da ao'' (大袄) and ''chang ru'' (长襦; long ''ru'' jacket) which appears to be the precursor of the ''ao''. When paired with a skirt, the ''chang-ao'' forms a style of ''aoqun'' (i.e. jacket worn over a skirt). This set of attire is worn as a formal attire. History In the Ming dynasty, the wearing of long-length upper jacket (ao) with skirts became more prevalent than the wearing of short upper jacket with skirts. Several paintings, book illustrations, tomb artefacts, and references from books which dates from the late Ming dynasty show that women were wearing long-length ''ao'' with a skirt during this period. The combination of long-length ''ao'' with skirt continued to exist in the Qing dynasty. However the style of Ming dynasty ''ao'' continued to evolve under the influence of the Ma ...
