School uniforms are different in China during the different time period. What specific influences that the school uniforms bring to children and society? And why the current school uniforms look like the same? The questions should be considered. The Education in China page did not mention this important part in the education system; because most of the students in China wearing school uniforms. Different school uniforms represent the different time period and bring them different of meaning. The school uniform also becomes an " invisible rule" for students' behaviors.

Uniforms were first introduced in the fallout of the crippling defeat of the Second Opium War as part of an urgent call to learn from the West. Encouraged by missionaries, Qing officials sponsored numerous “new” schools in Beijing, Fuzhou, and Shanghai. Foreign languages, science, and military knowledge replaced traditional texts.

Ruolin's Talk (peer review by Samantha)
You engage really well into the topic of school uniforms! I think that your idea to add how the uniform change through time and how each one brings a different meaning is a great idea. Adding how important the uniforms are to China might be coming from a non-neutral point of view so be careful there. It might be a good idea to mention this importance in a more indirect way instead by talking about that "invisible rule" or somethin like that. I think that adding some photos of the uniforms might be a good idea to to show how the uniforms have evolved over time. Samanthasoracco (talk) 13:46, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Different seasons students would have different school uniforms to wear. Before the college education, the organized school uniform is widely accepted by the school. The most common style is sportswear. The sportswear can show unity, and provide a relaxed style to allow students to exercise in a great range of activities. However, the bloated style obscures the personality of young students.
