[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 293829, member: 2844"]It is pretty general Han Chinese, but I think Phaik Hooi knows that better than I do.;) Han Chinese are the dominant ethnic group. Cross-over closing on one shoulder like this was introduced during the Qing dynasty, which was of Manchurian origin. It is often associated with Shanghai, which is not entirely correct, the origin is Manchurian. Shanghai is further south. Traditional Han jackets closed with a straight row centre front, but for centuries the Han have worn both styles, generally favouring the traditional Han style. In East Asia little children often had part of their head shaved to avoid lice, etc.[/QUOTE]
