Introduction

1. Introduction

National costumes are important carriers of national culture, carrying the historical memory and aesthetic taste of each ethnic group. In order to scientifically protect and inherit the culture of national costumes, the GB/T 42939-2023 standard came into being, clarifying the evaluation principles, objects and methods of productive protection of national costumes.

2. Evaluation principles
