The clothes mentioned here are close-fitting clothes, or they may be later Chinese corsets. There is also a saying that Chinese-style chest covering was invented by Yang Guifei to cover up the trace of her affair with An Lushan. There is also a folk saying that when Chinese-style chest wrapping began in the Han Dynasty, single women were afraid of being bullied by rude men, so they tied their chests with cloth, which was called "corset". After the Ming dynasty, women generally had the habit of using Chinese corsets, which were called "pockets" at that time, commonly known as chest wiping. It is made of two pieces cut obliquely, with a sharp top and a flat bottom. There are two styles of chest tube towels in Qing Dynasty. One is short and close-fitting, tied between the chest and abdomen, commonly known as "Chinese-style chest covering". The other is tied between the waist and abdomen, which is called "wiping the chest and abdomen".

In the process of knitting and embroidery, it is more necessary to be resistant to friction and washing to prevent falling off. As far as the preserved objects are concerned, the fabrics of Chinese corsets are mostly silk, and the front and back fabrics are of the same color, such as white, red, pink, blue, light blue, light green, light yellow and black. Basically, the material and color of Chinese corsets are closely related to the wearer's age, status, economic ability and local customs and culture. Just like a happy event, I like to use red.
