“…We believe our structural-demographic analysis of the Qing demonstrates that the consistent analysis of China's millennia-old imperial history using this framework would provide insight about the causal mechanisms driving the much-discussed empirical pattern of the cyclical rise-and-fall of China's many dynasties, starting with the early Qin and Han empires in the 3rd century BCE 109,[128][129][130] . These future analyses, using a common causal framework, would provide the comparative potential to better understand not only other cases of past state breakdown, but of current and future crises as well.…”

This paper analyzes the collapse of the Qing dynasty (1644–1912) through the lens of the Structural Demographic Theory (SDT), a general framework for understanding the drivers of socio-political instability in state-level societies. Although a number of competing ideas for the collapse have been proposed, none provide a comprehensive explanation that incorporates the interaction of all the multiple drivers involved. We argue that the four-fold population explosion during the 19th century, the competition for a stagnant number of elite positions, and increasing state fiscal stress combined to produce an increasingly disgruntled populace and elite, leading to significant internal rebellions. We find that while neither the ecological disasters nor the foreign incursions witnessed during the 19th century were sufficient on their own to bring down the Qing, when coupled with the rising internal socio-political stresses, they produced a rapid succession of triggering events that culminated in the Qing collapse.

“…Others seek to place the collapse of the Qing within China's longer imperial history, stretching back to the Han Empire of the late first millennium BCE [22][23][24][25] . This perspective sees the rise and fall of the Qing as just one in a long cycle that saw dynasties come and go every few centuries.…”

“…China has been known as the 'King-dom of attire' due to its unique cultural heritage. As a special cultural heritage, ancient clothing reflects the lives, thoughts, and wisdom of ancient people and serves as a symbol of national culture [64]. The term 'Silk Road' was coined by the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen in his book 'China' (p. 454, [65]).…”

The advent of 3D virtual presentation technology for clothing has led to the gradual popularisation of digital virtual clothing in the modern fashion industry. However, there remains a gap between the application of this technology and the integration of cultural attributes in the field of digital communication of traditional cultural clothing. Consequently, the objective of this paper is to propose the establishment of a fusion system integrating archaeological research on traditional culture with emerging virtual presentation technology. This paper draws inspiration from the replicability and easy dissemination of digital products to combine cultural archaeology and digital technology. The aim is to provide ideas for the diversity of dissemination of cultural heritage. The research object is Diplomatic Envoys, a Chinese mural painting of the Tang Dynasty that depicts friendly exchanges between countries. The research is divided into two research stages. A CLO3D software-based digital restoration test was conducted to reproduce the costumes of officials and foreign envoys depicted in the Tang Dynasty mural. The FAHP model was employed to verify the accuracy of the restoration results. The experiment demonstrated that the digitally reconstructed clothing exhibited a high degree of similarity to the unearthed mural figure clothing object. Furthermore, the restoration result passed the credibility verification, resulting in a ‘credible’ outcome. The application of digital virtual simulation clothing restoration methods offers two key advantages. Firstly, in comparison with traditional clothing restoration methods, digital restoration enables the rapid assessment of the resulting clothing effect, thereby reducing the likelihood of secondary damage to cultural relics due to manual errors. Secondly, the benefits of digital technology facilitate the convenient storage, replication, and dissemination of clothing data information. Data can not only be extended to online exhibition halls but also to game animation, clothing production, and other fields for the purposes of creative redesign and information dissemination. Furthermore, these benefits can penetrate the education industry to disseminate information to the public through all-round display models and explanations.

“…China is known as the "Kingdom of the garment." As a special cultural heritage, ancient garments are not only an important part of national culture, but also among the symbols of historical development [4]. There are many records in the history of the culture of ancient Chinese costumes with respect to the splendor and prosperity of costumes in the Tang Dynasty and the etiquette and precision of costumes in the Song Dynasty.…”

Based on 3D virtual fitting technology, this paper simulates and reproduces the fabric patterns and sewing processes of 12 characters’ costumes in different scenes on the basis of completing the archaeology of the characters’ costumes in the painting, so as to realize the 3D virtual sewing and digital simulation restoration of the characters costumes. This paper draws the style diagram, structure diagram and 3D virtual simulation diagram of the character costumes in the painting. The article further improves the research on the costumes of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which has a certain reference value for the study of ancient character costumes and the promotion of Chinese garment culture. At the same time, it provides a reference for the design of artistic works such as character costumes in film and television and games.
