An Embeddable Implicit IUVD Representation for Part-Based 3D Human Surface Reconstruction.

To reconstruct a 3D human surface from a single image, it is crucial to simultaneously consider human pose, shape, and clothing details. Recent approaches have combined parametric body models (such as SMPL), which capture body pose and shape priors, with neural implicit functions that flexibly learn clothing details. However, this combined representation introduces additional computation, e.g. signed distance calculation in 3D body feature extraction, leading to redundancy in the implicit query-and-infer process and failing to preserve the underlying body shape prior. To address these issues, we propose a novel IUVD-Feedback representation, consisting of an IUVD occupancy function and a feedback query algorithm. This representation replaces the time-consuming signed distance calculation with a simple linear transformation in the IUVD space, leveraging the SMPL UV maps. Additionally, it reduces redundant query points through a feedback mechanism, leading to more reasonable 3D body features and more effective query points, thereby preserving the parametric body prior. Moreover, the IUVD-Feedback representation can be embedded into any existing implicit human reconstruction pipeline without requiring modifications to the trained neural networks. Experiments on the THuman2.0 dataset demonstrate that the proposed IUVD-Feedback representation improves the robustness of results and achieves three times faster acceleration in the query-and-infer process. Furthermore, this representation holds potential for generative applications by leveraging its inherent semantic information from the parametric body model.

Nomogram based Postmortem-interval estimation compared with the Actual death-interval in Tropical environmental conditions

BackgroundEstimating an accurate postmortem interval (PMI) is essential for death investigators to confirm the offence timing and suspects' alibis. Compared to traditional methods, the Nomogram-based method is claimed to estimate nearly accurate PMI, but most of such studies are based on the Western population. Adequate data for bodies exposed to tropical climate of India and the Indian subcontinent are not available. AimTo assess the accuracy and goodness-of-fit of Nomogram based PMI estimation in bodies exposed to Indian climatic conditions after death. Material and methodsThis is a 3-year-long study on 200 bodies with known death times. The exact PMI was recorded from direct sources: family members, police and hospital records. Before autopsy, the ambient temperature, body weight, length, and rectal temperature were measured, and the details of clothing, sex, and age, were used on a nomogram to calculate the PMI (tN). One-way ANOVA correlation and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the variables. Linear regression analysis was used to establish the relationship between the rectal temperature (Tr) and nomogram estimated PMI (tN) and the known PMI(t). The consistency and agreement between the tN and t were measured using Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Bland-Altman (BA) plot was used to compare the level of agreement between direct(t) and nomograms method PMIs. ResultsNomogram-based PMI estimation showed a statistically significant strong relationship with rectal temperature (R 0.77, R2 0.74, adjusted R2 0.76, t-stat 25.83 p < 0.000) and exhibited a relatively consistent agreement with the known death interval (ICC 0.935). Regressing the tN over t showed that the nomogram method can predict PMI with 95 % accuracy. The BA plot between Direct and Nomogram methods exhibited a consistent agreement in PMI estimation though the limits of agreement (LoA) were wide: range 39.09–121.18 min. ConclusionThe accuracy and reliability of the Nomogram method in PMI estimation is high and recommended for the South Indian population. However, the presence of systematic differences between tN and t can't be ruled out due to wider LoA in BA plot. Hence, these findings highlight the need for further investigation and potential refinement of the PMI estimation methods to enhance accuracy and reduce discrepancies.

The Multifunctionality of Vestial Vocabulary in the Artistic Portrait of V.A. Gilyarovsky (based on the Autobiographical Novels "My Wanderings" and "People of the Theater")

The journalistic legacy of V.A. Gilyarovsky has been studied in sufficient detail, to a lesser extent, the attention of scientists was riveted to his autobiographical prose - the stories "My Wanderings" and "People of the Theater", the author's manner, the expression of an individual vision of the world and man. The article deals with the linguistic and stylistic features of the portrait of V.A. Gilyarovsky and reveals the originality of the vestial vocabulary, its function in describing the appearance of heroes of different social strata.The purpose of the study is to study the themes and problems of autobiographical prose, to carry out a linguistic analysis of portrait descriptions in the stories "My Wanderings" and to identify the specifics and functions of the vestial vocabulary. In the study, the emphasis was placed on understanding the features of the writer's style, the specifics of his portraits, the ethnolinguistic and etymological aspect of the clothing vocabulary.As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that in the autobiographical prose of V.A. Gilyarovsky, the main type of portrait is socio-historical, descriptive and everyday. Based on artistic tasks, the writer does not strive to comprehend the psychology of the characters or their rare individuality. There is no author's commentary in the portrait. The principles of the external image become fundamental. The "masculine" vision of the surrounding people leads to a lack of positive or negative expression, exaltation of feelings or sentimentality.Civil uniform, frock coat, tailcoat, livery in portraits have not only a descriptive function, "visualizing" the hero, but also reveal the position of the hero, determine his personal attitude to his own position in society. Uniform, overcoat, caps, boots represent uniforms, where the definitions emphasize the material, insignia, style and details of clothing; awards. This vocabulary is also of a historical and archaic nature, allowing the reader to imagine the features of the costume of the 19th century, to immerse themselves in an interesting, unknown, sometimes patriarchal world, which contributes to understanding the environment, its hierarchy and, at the same time, picturesque diversity.Female portraits with vestial vocabulary are rare; they perform a descriptive function, a function of social characterization. The legal requirement to wear official and particular dress is observed by officials who serve as heroes.The change in fashion, associated not only with the aesthetic, but also with the ideological and political views of the revolutionary youth, their desire to democratize their appearance, is shown by the portrait of the exiles, where the vocabulary of folk clothes, in particular, the appearance of urban workers, prevails. At the same time, accessories emphasize the "subculture" of nihilists.

Beserman-Turkic Relationships: Based on the Names of Clothing Details

The Besermans are a small people settled in northern Udmurtia. The unusual combination of the Turkic-Muslim self-designation with the Finno-Ugric language always caused genuine interest in this people. However, scientists still have not reached a consensus regarding the origin of the Besermans. The purpose of this work is to identify and systematize the Turkic names of the details of traditional Beserman clothing, which allows us to study more deeply the Beserman-Turkic relationships, and to obtain new data to unravel the ethnic genesis of the Besermans. In this regard, this work is relevant. The relevance of our work is also due to the possibility of using data in cultural, educational, museum work and in local history courses. The main sources of study are materials of T.I. Teplyashina card catalogue with field records of the Beserman speech. The study was conducted predominantly using a descriptive method. In general, our research confirms the hypothesis about including of the Turkic component in the Beserman ethnos as a result of interethnic marriages. The Chuvash component, which was later replaced by the Tatar superstratum, is quite clearly traced in the ethnogenesis of the Besermans. We have not identified lexical bulgarisms among the studied terminology however they could be replaced by analogous Chuvash word forms as a result of later interaction between ethnic groups.

Feature Representation for High‐resolution Clothed Human Reconstruction

AbstractDetailed and accurate feature representation is essential for high‐resolution reconstruction of clothed human. Herein we introduce a unified feature representation for clothed human reconstruction, which can adapt to changeable posture and various clothing details. The whole method can be divided into two parts: the human shape feature representation and the details feature representation. Specifically, we firstly combine the voxel feature learned from semantic voxel with the pixel feature from input image as an implicit representation for human shape. Then, the details feature mixed with the clothed layer feature and the normal feature is used to guide the multi‐layer perceptron to capture geometric surface details. The key difference from existing methods is that we use the clothing semantics to infer clothed layer information, and further restore the layer details with geometric height. We qualitative and quantitative experience results demonstrate that proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of handling limb swing and clothing details. Our method provides a new solution for clothed human reconstruction with high‐resolution details (style, wrinkles and clothed layers), and has good potential in three‐dimensional virtual try‐on and digital characters.

Deformable 3D Clothed Humans Reconstruction by a Multi-Level Topological Graph Convolutional Network

To reconstruct a deformable clothed human from a single image or multiple images, a multi-level topological graph convolutional network (MTGCN) using SMPL is proposed. Firstly, an initial human SMPL model corresponding to the pose and shape of the human body in the image is precomputed by existing methods. Secondly, local feature map of human body is obtained by image feature extraction network. Thirdly, the vertices of SMPL model are then projected into the feature map to obtain local features of specific locations. Finally, a multi-level topological graph convolutional network is used to offset the mesh vertices for dressing effects. The down-sampling and up-sampling modules can fuse local features to obtain global features, and combine with the residual module to compensate for the missing local information on the global features, thus improving the quality of the reconstructed human body. On the synthesized dataset using MGN and SURREAL, the experimental result shows that the proposed method can produce lower chamfer distance and point-to-surface distance losses than the other similar methods, and demonstrate better results in terms of human clothing details and body parts. In addition, the reconstructed 3D human mesh can be directly deformed in pose or body shape to generate dressed human animations.

Malay Women's Fashion Clothing Framework Model of ‘MCCC' as Design Principles and Reflection for Malay Women's Fashion

Globalization through developed nations encouraged the Malay culture to compete and adapt to the most popular foreign culture globally. In Malay fashion culture, the difficulties in recognizing values related to customs, lead to the loss of national pride; it shows practicalities or pragmatism not only transforms physical appearance but also changes the way of appreciating Malay clothing values. The combination methodologies of the textual and visual content analysis concluded with interviews. The design principles of 'MCCC' displayed clothing content-characteristic reflected Malay fashion, possesses clothing details component that has social, and cultural values and attributes portraying myriad achievements acknowledged by society.

SPG-VTON: Semantic Prediction Guidance for Multi-Pose Virtual Try-on

Image-based virtual try-on is challenging in fitting a target in-shop clothes onto a reference person under diverse human poses. Previous works focus on preserving clothing details ( <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">e.g.,</i> texture, logos, patterns) when transferring desired clothes onto a target person under a fixed pose. However, the performances of existing methods significantly dropped when extending existing methods to multi-pose virtual try-on. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end Semantic Prediction Guidance multi-pose Virtual Try-On Network (SPG-VTON), which can fit the desired clothing into a reference person under arbitrary poses. Specifically, SPG-VTON is composed of three sub-modules. First, a Semantic Prediction Module (SPM) generates the desired semantic map. The predicted semantic map provides more abundant guidance to locate the desired clothing region and produce a coarse try-on image. Second, a Clothes Warping Module (CWM) warps in-shop clothes to the desired shape according to the predicted semantic map and the desired pose. Specifically, we introduce a conductible cycle consistency loss to alleviate the misalignment in the clothing warping process. Third, a Try-on Synthesis Module (TSM) combines the coarse result and the warped clothes to generate the final virtual try-on image, preserving details of the desired clothes and under the desired pose. In addition, we introduce a face identity loss to refine the facial appearance and maintain the identity of the final virtual try-on result at the same time. We evaluate the proposed method on the most massive multi-pose dataset (MPV) and the DeepFashion dataset. The qualitative and quantitative experiments show that SPG-VTON is superior to the state-of-the-art methods and is robust to data noise, including background and accessory changes, <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">i.e.</i> , hats and handbags, showing good scalability to the real-world scenario.

Drape comparison between virtual fabric and real fabric for the production of virtual clothing

Three-dimensional (3D) virtual garments imitate the silhouette and details of clothing in a virtual space on a computer without producing actual clothing and have been used in a variety of fields. As non-face-to-face services have become more popular in the fashion field, they are now being used for virtual models or digital fashion shows. As a result, the virtual garment must be similar to the real one. Drape is one of the factors that determines the silhouette of the garment. Thus, in this study, we compared the difference between real and virtual fabrics by using drape to confirm the similarity between the real and virtual fabrics. Fabrics were divided based on the fabric type and drape difference between the real and virtual fabrics. The experiment was carried out with the help of 287 woven and 318 knit fabrics. The drape ratio was used to test the drape quality of materials. By employing drape ratio, woven and knit fabrics were divided into seven grades, with eight fabrics selected for each grade. The drape ratio of the virtual and real fabrics was evaluated after creating virtual fabrics of selected fabrics using the CLO 3D application. Correlation analysis revealed that there is a correlation between the drape ratio of the real and virtual fabric for both woven and knit fabrics. However, t-test results demonstrate that there is a difference between the drape ratio of the real and virtual fabric, with the virtual fabric drape tending to be larger than the drape ratio of the real fabric. When fabrics were divided by type, the outer fabrics had the largest difference in drape between real and virtual. As drape property is affected by fabric functional processing, additional research is needed to determine what kind of functional processing affects the difference between real and virtual fabrics. In this study, physical and data were extracted from, and it is expected that this research can help contribute to the reproducibility of 3D modeling in the fashion field.

МULTI-LAYER FIBROUS MATERIAL BASED ON TEXTILE WASTE

At the textile and sewing and knitting enterprises of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the number of which increases every year, a sufficient amount of technological waste is accumulated, which formed in the processes of sizing yarn, starting and setting up equipment, designing and sewing products. Meanwhile, there is a shortage of warm, comfortable, light, soft lining materials for clothes and shoes based on natural raw materials. With the purpose of rational use of textile waste - shredded, disheveled scraps of fabric and knitwear, a multilayer nonwoven material for details of clothing and footwear has been obtained. The material formed by adhesive bonding on one or both sides of the knitted fabric of the main, voluminous nonwoven layer, consisting of shredded textile waste. The bonding of the layers takes place as a result of their passing between heated rolls. The microstructure of the material studied by Fourier-IR spectroscopy and

Axiology of Subject of Declarative-Publicistic Poetry (First Collection of Soviet Kabardian Poets “First Step”)

The problem of the axiology of the subject of declarative-publicistic poetry is considered in the article. The concepts of “publicistic poetry”, “declarative-publicistic poetry”, “propaganda poetry” are commented on. On the basis of a number of works devoted to the image of the “new woman”, which was actual in the proletarian poetry of the 1920s and 1930s, the elements defining the axiology of the subject are revealed. The collection of Soviet Kabardian poetry “First step” is researched. The purpose of the article is to reveal the nuances of value, which in the national “variants” of Soviet literature supplemented the canons of expression of a typical subject that have developed in Russian propaganda poetry. Attention is paid to the semantic content of the poetic “we”, the spatial and temporal aspects of the representation of the poetic subject, the nature of the relationship of the poetic statement subject to the main character. The axiological subtext of the details of clothing is demonstrated in the context of the opposition of two temporal plans, which is relevant for agitation poetry. It is proved that the representation of the subject of agitation poetry at the junction of two time plans is for the authors of “The First Step” the most functional aspect of his axiology. The relevance of the study is determined in the light of the problem of intercultural interaction, the perception by a particular culture of ways of expressiveness that are uncharacteristic for it, the formation of an unusual subject of poetic thinking.

The Catacomb No. 74 of the Verkhnii Saltiv Main Burial Ground

The materials of the catacomb burial, investigated in 1988 by the expedition of Kharkiv Historical Museum under the leadership of V. H. Borodulin, located on the main site of the early medieval burial ground near Verkhnii Saltiv village (Verkhnii Saltiv Burial Ground-I, hereinafter — VSBG-I), are introduced into the scientific circulation. The catacomb had a long (6.3 m) and deep (5.05 m) dromos, in the western part of which the path of the re-entry into the burial chamber was fixated. The burial chamber, transverse to the dromos, contained the remains of three people (a man, a woman, and a teenage girl) who had traces of deliberate destruction committed in ancient times (Fig. 1: 1). Despite this, a rich burial inventory was found in the burial, which included: weapons (sabre, two chisel-axes); household items (two adz-hoes, a jug); personal jewelry (earrings, beads, bracelets, rings); toiletry (mirrors, toilet boxes); details of clothing; elements of a belt set; amulets. According to the elements of the belt set, this burial complex is dated by the second — third quarters of the 9th century. The main feature of this catacomb is the presence of a silver earring in it (Fig. 1: 13), which finds broad analogies in the Slavic-Avar antiquities of the Danube region. On the monuments of the Dnieper Left-Bank forest-steppe, similar earrings were found in the monuments of the Volyntsev culture of the second half of the 8th — early 9th centuries. A silver plaque-frame with an anthropomorphic image (Fig. 1: 12) is not typical for classical Saltiv antiquities, and it is stylistically close to the plaques from the Hungarian burial (burial No. 2) near Subotsi village (Ukraine, Kirovohrad Oblast). The presence of these items in the catacomb No. 74 testifies to the close contacts of the Alans of the Saltiv culture of the Siverskyi Donets basin in the second — third quarters of the 9th century simultaneously with representatives of the conquered Slavic tribes and with the ancient Hungarians, who were allies of the Khazar Khaganate.

Iconography of the White Old Man — Tsagaan Ebugen’s Image in Mongolian Ethnic Art

This article attempts to compare written primary sources, such as sutras dedicated to Tsagaan Ebugen, with a range of different visual materials, and take into consideration the unity of cultural and artistic aspects. Based on different art materials collected by the author including fifty-four Mongolian, eighteen Kalmyk, and twenty-one Buryat images, the author shows the features and aspects of the iconography of the image based on the details of clothing. The article provides a detailed analysis of the whole complex of iconographic elements included in the image of Tsagaan Ebugen, such as face, hair, figure, clothes, shoes, and hats. The purpose of the article is to present the results of the analysis of art materials associated with the image of the White Old Man as well as to identify the most stable and persistent iconographic features of the image. The pictorial iconography of Tsagaan Ebugen reflects the complex relationship between the ancient chthonic and Buddhist principles. As a result of the study, it is demonstated that traditional elements of clothing are preserved in the image of the lord of the earth and water of the White Old Man, and only ten percent of all images collected by the author are an exception and have other elements of clothing details that appeared due to the historical and religious influence in the region.

Фрески базилики Ахиропиитос в Фессалониках: консерватизм и новации в византийском искусстве первой половины XIII века

The frescoes in the Basilica of Acheiropoietos in Thessaloniki are located in the south aisle, above the colonnade. The ensemble represents the images of the Forty Martyrs of Sebastia, depicted full length and in medallions. The Acheiropoietos frescoes are traditionally dated after 1224, when Thessaloniki was liberated from the Latins. Another important date for the study of the ensemble is 1230, when, on the day of the Forty Martyrs, the Bulgarian Tsar Ivan II Asen defeated the Epirus ruler and emperor of Thessaloniki Theodore Komnenos Doukas. According to contemporary researchers, the frescoes in Acheiropoietos could have been ordered by Manuel Komnenos Doukas (1230—1237), the next ruler of Thessaloniki and son-in-law of Ivan II Asen. A. Xyngopoulos, the first researcher of these frescoes, singled out the hands of three artists: a master of medallions, a master of full-length figures and a master of clothes. However, such a strict separation seems practically impossible. Moreover, an analysis of the style of the frescoes shows that all the figures were painted in almost similar manner, which can be seen in the interpretation of details (the shape of the ears, collarbones, eyes, hairstyles, details of clothing, etc.) Due to the volumetric interpretation of the faces in Aheiropoietos, they are often compared with the frescoes of Mileševo and the church of Sts. Peter and Paul in Tarnovo. These three monuments represent one and the same stage in the development of style and of the search for new imagery in the 13th-century Byzantine art. In this paper we tried to trace the path of this process through the ensembles from the first decades of the 13th century in Greek and Slavic Macedonia and Bulgaria. This research has been completed with the support of the Russian Science Foundation (RSF), project № 20-18-00294.

ПРОБЛЕМЫ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ БОКК НА ТЕРРИТОРИИ КАЗАХСТАНА

This work is the first experience of generalizing research into the burials of medieval nomads throughout Kazakhstan, which included female headdresses of the Mongolian time - bokkas. The work reflects the unevenness of the study of burials with bokka, and a different degree of preservation of finds in the funds of museums of the Republic of Kazakhstan, years after the inventory was received for storage. Many years of research by Soviet, Kazakh, Russian archaeologists in this area make it possible not only to systematize the previous experience of joint work, but also, thanks to interdisciplinary methods, bring them to the modern level. Women’s headdress - bokka, nowadays, is not only an accumulation of birch bark details of the frame and beads, but also a refined sample of an ensemble of women’s clothing, consisting of several hats and a birch bark part in the form of a cylinder with various column variations and various feather attachment systems. The surviving silk fabrics and other details of clothing, which the skillful work of restorers and archaeologists, made much more informative. The results of an integrated approach have a wide scope of application. Keywords: medieval nomads, archaeology, mongols, bokka, birch bark, reconstruction, kazakhstan

The Siberian Paleolithic site of Mal'ta: a unique source for the study of childhood archaeology.

As a gendered perspective has emerged in wider society over the past 50 or so years, a greater interest in gender- and age-related research in science has similarly occurred, including for the study of the past (archaeology) and the present (ethnology). Here, I focus on the Mal'ta collection - a well-known Ice Age site located in Siberia. In particular, I focus on several mammoth ivory anthropomorphic sculptures which appear to reflect stages of human childhood, including infancy and the teenage years. These sculptures feature realistic elements, including proportions of each phase of childhood consistent with anthropometric data, details of clothing and accessories, and special benchmarks of puberty. Based on these figurines, I propose a developmental framework of the Paleolithic child from this society. Additionally, I discuss the burial of two children also found at Mal'ta, which provides additional insights into childhood within this Ice Age society. Particular attention is given to artefacts such as the 'hanging birds' and animal figurines with a flat base for standing. These artefacts could be interpreted as toys, as amulets for a child's cradle or as family heirlooms, with analogies to such objects preserved in the cultures of the aboriginal population of Siberia and the Far North.

Дюрбе конца XIV – на­чала XV вв. в Солхате (новые материалы)

Research objectives: To present data about a newly discovered architectural monument of the Golden Horde’s Solkhat/Krym. Research materials: As the result of excavations of the medieval settlement of Solkhat in 2018–2019, we have revealed an unknown archaeological object – a türbe (mausoleum) belonging to the Islamic community of the town. The research materials contain architectural measurements and plans, a description and analysis of the burial structures, along with data on coins and other finds, including female jewelry found in one of the burials. Results and novelty of the research: During archaeological surveys in 2018 in the southeastern part of the Golden Horde’s Solkhat, not far from the modern reservoir, a new archaeological object was discovered and identified as a medieval Muslim mausoleum (türbe). As a result of the 2018–2019 excavations, it was found that it is a ruined structure, preserved at the level of the lower rows of the foundation. The plan of the mausoleum is based on a rectangle oriented to the cardinal directions. The structure consists of two parts – the southern which is the entrance and the northern which contains the actual tombs (gurkhan). In the northern part of the türbe at the floor level, two burial underground chambers were discovered: burial 1, constructed of square Golden Horde bricks, and burial 2, constructed of rubble stones. The first female burial contained fragments of architectural details and a pair of golden earrings with a translucent sub-square inlay. The design features of the earrings indicate a style distinctive to Central Asia and China. The gender of the buried individual is confirmed by anthropological analysis. The second burial is a collective one, with bone remains of at least three individuals, two of them being males. According to the numismatic finds, the mausoleum dates to the late fourteenth or early fifteenth century. The presence of female jewelry among the funeral inventory of burial 1 formally contradicts the traditions of Islamic funeral rites. Apparently, gold earrings, mar­king the social status of the deceased (among other details of clothing that have not reached us), indicate the persistent preservation of traces of steppe traditions.

“Little women”: Gender, performance, and gesture in Mycenaean female figurines

This paper examines Mycenaean female figurines, focusing on their gesture, posture, and dress as evidence for somatic messages of Mycenaean female personhood and identity and what this might tell us about women’s lives in Late Bronze Age Greece. The primary focus is on the corporeal messages encoded in the figurines, with reference to Butler’s understanding of gender performativity and Connerton’s notion of incorporated body knowledges, to better understand how the figurines were embedded in Mycenaean habitus. This includes an experiential study of the gestures and posture of the figurines, to explore ancient embodied experiences, and analysis of the painted and applied details of clothing of the three main female types. The aim of the paper is to explore becoming a Mycenaean woman through the medium of sculpted clay.

Семиотическая система одежды и украшений в романе Цао Сюэциня «Сон в красном тереме»

The article discusses the features of the presentation of the clothing and jewelry system in one of the works of Cao Xueqing, “Red Tower Dream”, recognized by the top of Chinese literature. It is noted that the analysis of this novel is addressed in different aspects by researchers both in China and in Russia. This article is devoted to the study of clothing and jewelry as a symbolic system in the novel. 173 different words and phrases that are used to designate clothes and jewelry were identified in 44 chapters of the first 80. Using several fragments of the description of the clothes and jewelry of the heroes as an example, their social and some personality characteristics were analyzed. Conclusions are drawn about the peculiarities of the presentation of the costume of a man and a woman in a novel reflecting the realities of ancient China. It is shown that the details of clothing and jewelry of the heroes of the novel testify to their estate, wealth and occupation. It is noted that the original descriptions of the costume and jewelry in the novel may differ from the translated version, so the Chinese reader, based on linguistic and extralinguistic knowledge about the culture of clothing in ancient China, can provide a more accurate and complete picture of the social characteristics of the characters than the Russian-speaking reader.
