ABSTRACT
The design themes of three Qing dynasty imperial dragon robes from the University of Hawaii at Manoa Costume Collection act as carriers of the Chinese yin-yang philosophy. The information shared by these imperial dragon robes are discussed through a cultural and technological analysis of the symbolic motifs and fabric structures of these garments to reveal the cultural and social impact of yin-yang on Qing imperial costume design.
