A total of 47 traditional Chinese costumes were on display at an exhibition held in Linyi, Shandong Province, from December 4 to 10. The design of the costumes was inspired by Chinese clothing development in ancient times, ranging from Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Qing Dynasty (2070 BC to 1911 AD). All of them were designed and made by the faculty of the Communication University of China. Visitors can try on the costumes using virtual reality (VR) technology.
