From Tujia textiles to Olympic ceremonials

For her final stop at the Ethnic Costume Museum, our Belarusian host Kate was met with yet another awe-inspiring reveal by Curator Tian Hui. He presented three more cultural wonders: a Han Chinese"hundred-family"robe stitched with collective blessings, a Tujia brocade that wove Chinese characters into auspicious patterns, and a chain mail motif that journeyed from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) battle gear to modern Olympic ceremonial wear. Together, they tell a compelling story of tradition transforming into a timeless trend.
