Today on my way to Nanjing I passed a man selling clothes the cloths he sold were like big dresses. They were called tunics. When I tried to purchase one with my small amount of coins he said that these were silk and were far to expensive for me. Silk was warn by wealthy people in ancient china. Women wore ankle length tunics while men wore knee length tunics.

(Silk if you don't already know is produced by silk worms who eat Mulberries)

To the right is a picture of chines women wearing there silk tunics.
