 * The spelling and grammar mistakes will be quickly fixed by other editors of the Tang article
 * The citation technical error will be fixed by editors or by Wikibot
 * The image will be removed. I has been uploaded and mark as belonging to the owner of this sandbox but it appears to originally have been created by Bay Area graphic artist Nancy Duong. I know this because I performed a reverse search for the original image online using TinEye.

Hair Styles
During Tang Dynasty there was more than 30 different hairstyles, which shows the luxurious phenomenon at that era. The word “Faji” was used as hairstyle, the “Fa” means hair and the word “Ji” means pulling hairs to the back or to the top of your head as a bun. Depending on the different ways of pulling back your hair, resulted with different affects. "Faji" was the term used for women, while on the other hand, men put on their hair up in what is called “Guanshujin”. Most “Faji” were named by their shape, some were named by minority ethnicities. Women usually put flowers and jewelries to decorated their “Faji”, also the more decorations on their “Faji” the higher their social status. During women’s different period of lifetime, they used “Faji” to defined themselves as either single, engaged, or married.

Status in Clothing
In general, garments were made from silk, wool, or linen depending on your social status and what you could afford. Furthermore, there were laws that specified what kinds of clothing could be worn by who. The color of the clothing also indicated rank. "Purple colored clothes were used by officials above the third grade; light red were meant for officials above the fifth grade; dark green was limited to the sixth grade and above officials; light green was solely for officials above the seventh grade; dark cyan was exclusive for officials above the eighth grade; light cyan garments adorned officials above the ninth grade. The common people and all those who did not reside in the palace were allowed to wear yellow colored clothes." During this period, China's power, culture, economy, and influence were thriving. As a result, women could afford to wear loose-fitting, wide-sleeved garments. Even lower class women's robes would have sleeves four to five feet in width.
