Synopsis

Compared with general histories of clothing, which discuss Song dynasty attire only in passing, Mr. Fu Boxing’s The Garb of the Great Song, as Zheng Chao, adviser to the Zhejiang Association of Literary and Art Critics, writes in the book’s first preface, can be called “a history of clothing through the eyes of a painter.”

After reading a wealth of Song-era records and spending more than thirty years collecting visual materials, the author approaches the subject through art, applying a painter’s skill to history. Through illustrations and a wealth of detailed visual sources, he takes a fresh approach to studying the history of clothing in the Song dynasty.

Looking for a Study Reading List for Original Character Creators

Looking for books like Jungian Psychology. Are there any books for OC inspiration or learning? I’m especially interested in Jungian psychology and personality typology, but feel free to recommend anything else too: religion, writing techniques, the occult, psychology, design, and so on.

Any Reference Books or Resources for Designing All Kinds of Outfits for OCs?

Looking for books like 500 Dress Designs: Evening Gowns. Historical clothing, Lolita fashion, and so on are all fine. I only picked that as an example at random, and haven't really read it. I'm just looking for something about clothing, preferably a better and more practical resource.
