The Tang Dynasty prospered because of reopening trade with nearby countries by sea and overland along the silk road in 693 through conquering hostile of neighboring countries to ensure the stability and security of the route. Goods like jade, silk, porcelain, tea, and spices were being sold to oversea. This made the population’s wealth which was able to pay taxes. Because of taxes that helped the government to keep the expenses of war under control. Even the Tang Dynasty waged wars and expanded that close to the Persian, the prosperity of the Chinese people was not affected (TheTangDynasty.org, 2014). During this period trade was not only transport goods and luxuries; it was also a link of ideas and innovation from Persia, India, and the countries of the Middle East and Central Asia.

Leaders in Beijing appear to have a vision for China’s role in international affairs, as exemplified by \’a new model of major-power relations\’, \’major country foreign policy with Chinese characteristics\’ and \’One Belt, One Road\’ ( Xie,2017).

Most of those are developing countries, One Belt One Road helps them to develop their transportation, energy production, and trade ( Lu, 2018).

When gained more influenced from western, the sleeves became widened and reach as Chinese chi, or nearly 130 cm. The collars have a different type of shapes and sizes, such as straight crossed and round to. The apes were made with lightweight yam or silk, often wrapped around neck and shoulders but could show an amount of sin, that is still used Women always wore skirts, generally very high at the waist, but sometimes even up to the armpits for visually to make longer legs ( Xiao, 2015). Today, designers use a combination of traditional and modern style to create a new fashion, such as guardian deities, lions, and masks of Chinese opera characters. In modern society, men wear dignified and refined traditional Chinese long gown, and women often wear the ch’i-p’ao at a social place. The are three major types of traditional Chinese clothing are still wear until now, the pien-fu, the ch’ang-p’ao, and the shen-i. , as a result, the shen-i was the most common to be wear in three types. clothings were wide and voluminous sleeves and a very loose fit (Xiao,2013).In modern Chinese, clothing examines the transformations of individuals and communities undergoing a change in society (kittyjoanna, 2012).
