What is the Chinese Tang suit?
The Tang suit, which evolved from Magua during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911), may be dated back to the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). It is a Manchurian style of attire that was adopted by the Han Chinese during the Qing Dynasty. It's a short tunic with round and high collars and lapels that fasten down the front.
Why is it called a Tang suit?
It is also sometimes translated as a tang suit or jacket. Although the name of the jacket in English and Chinese suggests an origin during (or at least reference to) the Tang period of Chinese history, it was actually intended by its designers to mean a "Chinese" outfit.
Can anyone wear a Tang suit?
Derived from the magua, a Manchurian item of clothing, which Han Chinese were forced to wear during the Qing dynasty, the Tangzhuang is normally worn by men, although women sometimes wear them as well.
