Summary
For the function orientation of clothing, all the rulers of Chinese traditional society thought that clothing is the important foundation stone of consolidating state power and the concrete embodiment of maintaining social ethical order. The rulers of all dynasties have attached great importance to the management of clothing, which has been upgraded to the will of the state, and gradually formed a set of strict clothing system and management methods. Shanxi was the last area to cancel the "Le Hu" system, which had a great influence on the formation and development of ancient drama costumes. As the cradle of Chinese drama culture and the important town of drama art, the central and local rulers of the past dynasties have constantly strengthened their control over Shanxi drama performance. The rise and fall of Shanxi ancient drama and its costumes are closely related to it
