What? Clothes made from fish skin?

Kate is back at the Ethnic Costume Museum for another cultural treasure hunt! This time, Curator Tian Hui introduced three fascinating examples of ethnic attire: a Tibetan ethnic group's robe spacious enough to carry a lamb, a Hezhe fisherman's suit crafted from the skin of a 15-kilogram fish, and a pair of Qiang "cloud pattern" shoes embroidered with secret codes of love. Each piece masterfully blends function and aesthetics.

From the heights of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the river plains of the Northeast, Chinese ethnic groups have woven nature into their clothing — a testament to their profound wisdom.

Into Chinese Art is an immersive cultural interview series produced by China Daily Culture Channel, where international hosts engage with art experts through interactive discussions, offering audiences a deeper understanding of Chinese art and aesthetics. The third season of Into Chinese Art focuses on ancient Chinese fashion.
