Hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han nation, Hanfu is the same regardless of the dynasty, but it is different...
Men's clothing styles in the Han Dynasty were roughly divided into two types: curved trains and straight trains. The dresses worn by women in the Han Dynasty were mainly dark clothes. It's just that the dark clothes at this time were different from the styles popular in the Warring States Period. The distinctive feature is that the number of layers of the skirt is increased and the hem of the clothes is enlarged.
The shape of the dress includes a crossed collar, right gusset, wild sleeves, and straight train. The sleeves and hem are both inlaid with large wide edges. A major feature of this piece of clothing is that it has a wide continuation of the gusset, that is, the skirt (called "gust" in ancient times) is set from the armpit to the lower hem, and goes straight to the hem, which seems to be the continuation of the right gusset, hence the name " "Continued". This kind of deep robe with wide edges and straight trains was a popular style in the Changsha area of the Western Han Dynasty, but it maintained the previous straight train form. This was done at that time to adapt to the "curved train" form just introduced. It can wrap the wide skirt around the back and tighten it with a belt, which can provide warmth in winter.
Women's Clothing in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties Women's clothing in the Wei and Jin Dynasties inherited the customs of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and absorbed the characteristics of ethnic minority costumes. It was improved on the traditional basis. Generally, they wore jackets and jackets on the upper body and skirts on the lower body. The styles were mostly frugal and frugal. Full, the body part is tight and fitted, the cuffs are enlarged, the skirt is a multi-pleated skirt, the skirt is floor-length and the hem is loose, thus creating a handsome and unrestrained effect. The rich jewelry reflects the luxurious and elegant style. This picture is worn in Chinese style. Lady in dress.
The late Han, Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties were the most politically chaotic and socially painful eras in China, but they were also the most free, liberating, wise and passionate eras in spiritual history. Therefore, it was an era with the richest artistic spirit. The image that best represented the aristocrats’ aesthetic tendency toward women’s clothing and makeup during the Six Dynasties was the image of the Goddess of Luo depicted by Cao Zhi in “Ode to the Goddess of the Goddess.” This person "seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and floats as far away as the snow covered by the flowing wind.
First of all, looking at the clothes, there are mixed-breasted clothes, double-breasted clothes, striped skirts, jackets, jackets, large-breasted shirts, etc. The main feature of the miscellaneous draped clothing is the hem. The hem is usually cut into several triangles, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, stacked on top of each other. They are called "髾" because they resemble flags. In addition, there are two or several streamers protruding from the skirt. When walking, they float in the wind, like swallows dancing lightly, which is really charming, so it is called "Flying Flower Belt".
Folk women in the Sui Dynasty wore green skirts. Women wear hoodies to cover their faces when going out. This kind of clothing absorbed and integrated the artistic characteristics of Hu clothing in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and had a great influence on women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty. , Sui Dynasty women's daily clothing mostly consisted of jackets, shirts, coats, skirts, etc.
The most popular style of women's clothing during the Sui Dynasty was the long skirt with small sleeves and high waist, which was tied above the chest. For example, in the painting of Sui women offering incense in Cave 390 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, the noble lady wears a large-sleeved coat and a blouse with a wind or small sleeves. This style of clothing has long been seen in men's clothing in Buddhist story paintings in Dunhuang since the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it is an underwear with small sleeves. The coat has large sleeves. The size of the sleeves is exactly the opposite of that of Sui Dynasty ladies' clothing. SuiThe small-sleeved coats worn by ladies are usually of lapel style. The attendants, maids, and musicians wear small-sleeved shirts, high-waisted long skirts, drooping belts, and silk draped over their shoulders. Hair styled into a double bun.
In the Tang Dynasty, the country was unified, the economy was prosperous, the style was more open, and the costumes became more and more gorgeous. The characteristic of women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty is the unity of skirt, shirt and belt. Among women, the image of bare breasts and arms appeared. In the Tang Dynasty, only high-status people were allowed to wear open-breasted shirts, while women from common people were not allowed to be half-naked. At that time, the half-breasted skirts of the Tang Dynasty were somewhat similar to modern Western evening dresses, except that the shoulders and back were not allowed to be exposed. The collars of women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty include round collars, square collars, oblique collars, straight collars and sweetheart collars. The characteristic of the long skirt is that the waist is tied higher, usually above the waist, and some are even tied under the armpits, giving people a pretty and slender feeling.
The skirts of the Tang Dynasty were colorful, with red, purple, yellow and green competing for beauty, with the red skirt being the most beautiful. The popularity of red skirts on the street is not exclusive to modern people. As early as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, dance skirts were already dyed with pomegranate flowers everywhere. The eclectic collection of exotic clothes made the costumes of the Tang Dynasty more colorful and dazzling.
In the Song Dynasty, the spirit of Chinese classical aesthetics developed to its extreme, but under the influence of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, the clothes of Song people were very elegant and simple.
The Song Dynasty suit inherited the legacy of the Tang suit. Women's clothes are still mainly shirts, jackets, jackets, backs, skirts, robes, jackets, and dark clothes. They are all clothes for married women. The large sleeves of the Song Dynasty were originally the large sleeve shirts, long skirts, and silk shawls of the Song Dynasty. It is a style of clothing left over from the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. It was still used in the Northern Song Dynasty.However, it is popular and mostly worn by noble women. It is a kind of dress. Ordinary women cannot wear long sleeves and can only wear trousers instead. From the unique style of trousers, we can not only see the influence of philosophical and aesthetic ideas on the daily life of people in the Song Dynasty, but also appreciate the extreme simplicity of the Song Dynasty. The beauty of the object, the casual clothes of the Song Dynasty, were more popular among women in the Song Dynasty. Most of them are made with a double-breasted skirt, which is partially open and not tied with buttons or ropes, allowing the inner garment to be exposed. Most of the clothes are knee-length, and some are even with the skirt.
When clothing developed into the Ming Dynasty, the most prominent feature was that buttons on the front replaced the knots that had been used for thousands of years. But buttons did not begin in the Ming Dynasty, but the use of buttons is also a change, reflecting the progress of the times. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the proportion of clothes and skirts in the Ming Dynasty was obviously inverted. From the top to the short skirt to the long bottom, the top gradually became longer and the length of the exposed skirt was shortened. Collars have also evolved from the paired collars of the Song Dynasty to mainly round collars. Women's tops in the Ming Dynasty had three collars and narrow sleeves, with a body length of more than three feet and two or three inches of exposed skirt. They were the so-called "corolla skirts and coats with large sleeves and round necks." The blouse was two feet eight inches long and the sleeves were one foot two inches wide. Sleeves inlaid with brocade and mink and fox fur in winter were popular styles at the time. Women in the Ming Dynasty also had many bun styles, and they often tied a pocket on their forehead, which was called "Zhameile". The dress is similar to that of the Song and Yuan dynasties, but the underwear has a small round collar and buttons at the neck. The body is longer and decorated with gold and jade pendants, plus cloud shoulders, Bijia (large vest), etc.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was also a special style of Peizi, which was named "Xia Pei" because of its beautiful shape like colorful clouds.
