Question

Fleed the following passage found in From Emperor to Citizen.

Just as food was cooked in huge quantities but not eaten, so was a vast amount of clothing made vwhich was never wom. I cannot now remember much about this, but I do know that while the Dowager and the High Consorts had fived yearly allocations, there were no limits for the emperor, for whom clothes were constantly made throughout the year. I do not know what exactly was made, but everything I wore was always new. I have before me an account from an unspecified year headed "List of materials actually used in making clothes for His Majesty's use from the sixth day of the eleventh month. According to this list the following garments were made for me that month: eleven fur jackata, six fur inrer and outer gowns, two fur waistcoats, and thirty padded waistcoats and pains of trousers. Leaving aside the cost of the main materials and of the labor, the bill for such minor iterns as the edgings, pockets, buttons and thread came to 2,137.6335 silver Collars

My changes of clothing were all laid down in regulations and were the responsibility of the eunuchs of the clothing storeroarms. Even my everyday gowns came in tiventy-eight different styles, from the one in black and white inlaid fur that I started wearing on the nineteenth of the first lunar month to the sable one I changed into on the first day of the eleventh month. Needless to say, my clothes were far more complicated on festivals and ceremonial occasions.
