Tangzhuang (Chinese: 唐装; pinyin: tángzhuāng; literally "Chinese suit" ) refers to the Chinese jacket that originated at the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). Tangzhuang evolved from Magua (马褂), a Manchu clothing, which was in turn adopted by the Han Chinese during Qing Dynasty. At that time, only noblemen, aristocracy and government officials were wearing it, however, in modern times it was eventually adopted by common people. This kind of clothing is often seen as a national costume for men, although women wear it as well.
At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shanghai, China in November 2001, the host presented its silk-embroided tangzhuang jackets as the Chinese traditional national costume.
Now in Chinese communities, the Mao suit, the western suit, and the Tang suit are main formal dressing for men in many occasions. Tangzhuang is made in different colors, most commonly red, dark blue, gold and black. One common design is the usage of Chinese characters (Hanzi, 汉字) as monogram such as Fu (福,'happiness' in Chinese) , Shou (寿, 'longevity' in Chinese) to spread good luck and wishes.
Li Pu (李普) (824 – July 16, 828), formally Crown Prince Daohuai (悼懷太子), was an imperial prince of the Chinese dynasty Tang Dynasty. He was the oldest son of Emperor Jingzong.
Li Pu was born in 824, around the time when his father Emperor Jingzong had just taken the throne, and he was Emperor Jingzong's oldest son. His mother was Consort Guo, who then carried the title of Cairen (才人) but was given the greater title of Guifei (貴妃) after he was born. Li Pu was created the Prince of Jin the same year he was born.
Around new year 827, Emperor Jingzong was assassinated, and Emperor Jingzong's younger brother Li Ang the Prince of Jiang became emperor (as Emperor Wenzong). Emperor Jingzong favored Li Pu greatly because he saw Li Pu as careful and obedient. He also wanted to have Li Pu serve as his heir. Li Pu died in 828, however, and Emperor Wenzong was greatly saddened, such that even after he had a son (Li Yong) he did not create Li Yong crown prince until 832. He posthumously honored Li Pu as a crown prince.
Xie Hui (謝晦) (390–426), courtesy name Xuanming (宣明), was a high level general of the Chinese dynasty Liu Song, who, along with his colleagues Xu Xianzhi and Fu Liang, deposed Emperor Shao after the death of Emperor Wu (Liu Yu) due to their belief that Emperor Shao was not fit to be emperor. When Emperor Shao's brother Emperor Wen subsequently killed Xu and Fu, Xie started a rebellion, but was defeated and killed.
When Xie Hui was young, he served on the staff of the official Meng Chang (孟昶). When Meng committed suicide in 410 over disagreements he had with Liu Yu over how to counter the attack that the warlord Lu Xun (盧循) was making on the capital Jiankang, Liu Yu asked his chief assistant Liu Muzhi (劉穆之) whom among Meng's staff he can retain. Liu Muzhi recommended Xie, and Liu Yu added Xie to his staff. He subsequently contributed to Liu Yu's campaign against Sima Xiuzhi (司馬休之) in 415, and therefore became increasingly important as a strategist for Liu Yu. However, because his opinion often differed from Liu Muzhi's, Liu Muzhi opposed promoting him, and Liu Yu did not promote him further until Liu Muzhi's death in 417. Despite this, the general Tan Daoji later remarked that of the 10 strategies that Liu Yu used to conquer Later Qin in 416 and 417, nine came from Xie.
