Tracing the History of Women's Wear in Zhishui Town, Suzhou
"Violet Shirt with Lotus Skirt" consists of Baotou, splicing shirt, embroidered skirt, belt, Bai Na embroidered shoes, Chinese-style chest covering and rolling arm. Research shows that this kind of clothing can be traced back to the early stage of rice farming economy five or six thousand years ago.

When women work in farmland, they are often harmed by aquatic animals and plants, so the sleeves and trousers are made very small and can barely be worn in; When transplanting rice, plowing rice and harvesting, women often get exposed to the sun, and their hands and feet are stained with mud, and their shoulders, elbows and cuffs are most vulnerable to damage, so Baotou, skirts, waist-binding and splicing shirts came into being.
