A Han dynasty lady dancer. She wears a long vermillion Quju skirt-robe. This type of clothing were popular from the Warring States period and continued throughout the Han dynasty. The silk dress of the lady is based on the robes recovered from Mawangdui Tomb Complex dated to Eastern Han. During this era, high ladies often wore translucent robes over their Quju robes.

The 曲裾袍 Qū jū dress robe, páo means "Robe" and "Quju" means "Curved Robe" or "Curved Gown" Quju are like narrow wide- sleeved robes with one side of the robed lapel extended far enough to form a triagonal flap that wraps around the wearer's back. There are no clasps on the robe itself to fasten it in place so the robe is often paired with a belt to secure it in place. The morning glory- like coil of the robe's triangular fold usually marks the wearer as someone of means because Qujus often take up a good deal of more materials (than the standard straight collared robes) to make.

Zhí jū 直裾, "Straight Uniform" worn by both sexes and was seen as a very informal and ubiquitous attire. The robe wrapped around the man's body while being secured by the tight belt. If the nobleman carries a sword, the scabbard's belt clip could be fastened on the belt.
