Abstract

As an integral part of daily life, Chinese clothing has been extensively depicted in literary works from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Throughout its long historical evolution, clothing has transcended its practical function as mere attire, permeating all aspects of social life while also carrying rich cultural significance in literary creation.‘San yan Er pai’ as a collection of Ming-dynasty vernacular stories, covers a wide range of themes, with nearly every tale containing references to clothing. Characters, as essential elements of fiction, are closely tied to these sartorial depictions. This study focuses on the clothing descriptions in ‘San yan Er pai’, employing narrative theory to analyze their role in character narration.
