4.-Why do the women kill themselves that much ?

According to a report in the British medical journal the Lancet last year, suicide is China's fifth biggest killer, with women and girls most at risk. It reported that China is one of the few countries in the world where the female suicide rate is higher than it is for males.

First of all, in ancient times Roman gladiators killed and were killed for people's pleasure and their own glory, because people did not have the same respect for human life that they do today. Similarly, throughout Chinese history, there has been a culture of people killing themselves for the pleasure and honour of their family and for their own glory, for women to prove their honesty and, often, true love. This culture persists in many parts of China today, particularly in the rural areas of the south-west.

Secondly, quite a number of Chinese women would rather give up their lives than suffer from "not being a good woman", according to the Chinese traditional role. For generations, having a good, clean name has been more important than human life itself. This is doubly true in the impoverished countryside, where, apart from housework, the importance of reputation is often the only thing they are taught.

9.-What do they dress ?

Each dynasty in China had its own memorable culture. The many facets of color and design that emerged during a dynasty's reign were marvelous and made every aspect of Chinese culture, including their wearing apparel, which were highly acclaimed works of art.
Qin and Han Dynasties

During the Qin and Han dynasties, changes in the style of dress were dramatic. The Emperor Qin, who was influenced by the concept of Yin and Yang as well as the theory of the Five Elements, believed that the Qin dynasty would subdue the Zhou dynasty like water extinguishes fire. Therefore, because the Zhou dynasty was "fire superior to gold, its color being red," the favorite color of the Qin dynasty was black, since the color black was associated with water. Thus, in the Qin dynasty, black was the superior color to symbolize the power of water, so clothing and adornments were all of the color black.

The Tang Dynasty

The Tang Dynasty was the most thriving, prosperous, splendid, and glorious period of ancient Chinese culture and art. The style of women's clothing during the Tang dynasty is the most outstanding in China's history. Tang dynasty attire had many different styles, and was ever changing, which enabled the look of the Tang dynasty style to remain elegant, noble and poised, and forever unique and amazing. The costumes of the Tang dynasty are like exotic flowers in Chinese history. The quality of the material was particularly fine and delicate, and the decorations lustrous.
Song Dynasty
Song Dynasty clothing can be divided into three categories of style. One was designed for the empress, the noble concubines, and females of all levels of "government uses"; another style called "formal clothes" was for ordinary people; and one style was casual for daily use.

The Yuan Dynasty
In the Yuan dynasty, "Zhi Sun dresses" were popular. All government officials wore them to attend feasts inside the palace. Musicians and bodyguards also wore them. This kind of clothing was worn by all classes of people, and could be made from materials of varying weight and quality.

The Ming Dynasty

The Ming Dynasty female upper clothes were three collars with narrow sleeves. The body height was over three feet, revealing the skirt only two to three inches, the so-called "Flower hat, skirt clothes with big sleeves and round collars". The skirt installs often used light colored fabrics in early Ming Dynasty. Pleated skirts were extremely popular. The Ming dynasty also had one special kind of cape. Because of its beautiful shape, it was called "pink cloud cape."

The Qing Dynasty

Manchurian-style clothing with short narrow sleeves was the popular mode of dress in the Qing dynasty. The style was slender and rectangular in form. The saddle-shaped collar was large enough to cover a person's cheeks and protect the face. The entire garment, which was not lined, was cut straight from top to bottom and did not have a waist. The box-like look of Qing dynasty clothing presented a solemn, slightly arrogant image that commanded respect. It was quite unique.

10.-The history of mulan is true ?

It is based on an old Chinese folktake, the story of Hua Mulan, which is a story of a young girly who serves in the army in place of her ailing father. The legend has been changed many times to suit the time period that it is being told in. For example, in the 4th century, the stroy had China being invaded by the Xiongnu Khanate. 1000 years later, it is being invaded by Manchu's. So, I suppose the answer is a yes, though the story is actually not factual but a legend.
Actually its sort of a legend but it definitely true story. She fought for years and the emperor came to her house and saw she was a women
