The policy of "shaving your head and changing clothes" has long since withdrawn from the historical stage, but its influence has continued to this day.

Qing dynasty-style clothing has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Manchu or Manchu elements, such as cheongsam and Tang suit, even "go global", are considered as symbols of China costumes.
