Riding for sport was very popular in the Tang dynasty for both men and women. The costume of the mounted EQUESTRIENNE from Turfan, an oasis town in Central Asia on the Silk Route, became fashionable for women in the capital cities of Tang China in the 8th century. She is wearing trousers, a short-sleeved bodice and an unveiled hat. Aristocratic Chinese women valued both the style and substance of these comfortable, unconstraining costumes.
