From which dynasty did girls in ancient China start to use underwear?
The history of China wearing underwear can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. At that time, the title was "obscene clothes". "obscene" means "light books, not solemn", so even if you wash them, you can't let people see them there, otherwise it will be indecent. Especially women's underwear, after washing, you must not put it in a place where outsiders may pass to dry.

Underwear has different names in different periods in China's history: underwear in Han Dynasty is called "holding the belly" and "heart clothes", underwear in Wei and Jin Dynasties is called "two claws", underwear in Tang Dynasty is called "wiping the chest", underwear in Yuan Dynasty is called "belly pocket", underwear in Qing Dynasty is called "underwear" and modern underwear is casually called "underwear". At the same time, underwear has been improved from generation to generation, and it has gradually become what it is now.
