The costume style of Turfan had changed three times which were the period of peculiar style, the period of Kochang style, the period of influence of T ang' s culture.
Before the founding of Kochang country, the costume style of Turfan was two piece style. It was a character of nomadic people s clothes. Tops were tunic and caftan. The method of adjust caftan were two types. The one is wrapping toward left, so the right edge of the top covers the left. The other is wrapping toward right. Bottoms were pants and skirts. This period was characterized by the traditional style. I called it the period of peculiar style After the founding of Kochang country, the costume style was mixed traditional style and chinese and western style. I classified the mixed style as Kochang style. In this period, Silkroad was so activated that cultural exchanges between eastern and western Turkestan were increased. As Turfan was an important place on the Silkroad, many people and materials passed through Turfan. Turfarn's culture soaked up the products of civilization of chinese and western Turkestan. Chinese and western Turkestan's costume influenced to the Turfan's costume. Since Kochang country had destroyed, Turf an had been put in a place under the direct control of T'ang dynasty. Such an aspects were reflected the Trufan's costume. The Trufan's costume had changed into the foreign style that was the T'ang's costume. It was the period of influence of T'ang's culture.
