Hanfu is my country's traditional national costume and is inextricably linked to traditional culture. Hanfu has a long history, rich and diverse styles, and has undergone changes throughout the dynasties. Everyone knows that Hanfu is gorgeous, but many students are put off by it because the shape is too complicated, and the knowledge found online is too fragmented and difficult to understand. Today we will learn about the common Hanfu styles through the Q version of Hanfu.
1. Half-breasted arms and half-armed collarsAs the name suggests, the half-arm is that the sleeves are only half the length of the arm, and the body is as long as the waist. It is actually very similar to the modern short-sleeved top, but it is worn with a blouse on the outside.
Half-arm sleeves became popular among nobles from the Sui Dynasty. They were first worn by female officials in the palace, and then were introduced to ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty. From then on, they were out of control.
The popular explanation is that the two front plackets do not overlap and are symmetrical, while the cross-collar means that the front plackets cross and overlap.
The half-arm reflects the layering of the outfit. This kind of layering is also very popular in modern times, which shows the wisdom of our ancestors in clothing matching.
2. Chest-length underskirtThe chest-high skirt is a kind of women's clothing that began to appear in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Some people also call it a high-waist skirt. It was very popular among ladies in the Tang Dynasty.
What we call undershirt is a top, usually no more than the knees. The skirt has the characteristics of short top and long skirt. The reasonable length can reflect the aesthetic connotation of the golden section. Many poems have described the charm of chest-high underskirts, and there is also the saying of falling under the pomegranate skirt. This pomegranate skirt also refers to chest-high underskirts.
Many young ladies can’t tell the difference between a chest-length underskirt and a waist-length underskirt. In fact, we can know from the names that chest-high means that the waistline is at the chest, and waist-high means that the waistline is at the waist. Isn’t it weird? It’s simple and clear. Compared with waist-length underskirts, chest-high underskirts can make people look cuter and younger, and they can also make people look more mature and plump. Their styles are very changeable.
3. 褙子Chuozi is also called Beizi and Chuozi. It comes from the same place as half-arm. It is a kind of clothing often worn by women in the Song and Ming dynasties, but it can also be worn by men.
A tuzi is a kind of top, usually with a straight collar and open breasts, with slits under the arms and hips, just like the slits in a cheongsam. It is very convenient for walking, and the length can reach directly to the knees.
Compared with the elegance and luxury of the Tang suit, the clothes of the Song Dynasty were restrained and simple, which clearly showed the ethical constraints of the society at that time. Of course, in modern times, there is no need to worry about it. Therefore, it is most suitable for young ladies with a cool temperament to choose a mat.
4. Short BrownThe clothes we see worn by fellow Hanfu students every day are all very gorgeous, but students who wear them should understand that these clothes are very inconvenient to wear.
In fact, in ancient times, not everyone wore beautiful Hanfu. Common people wore short brown clothes for the convenience of working. This shape means that the cuffs are tightened and the skirt is shortened to just above the knees. There is no hindrance from the long sleeves of the toga, making it very convenient for movement.
Coupled with the beautiful patterns and high-end fabrics, the short brown becomes more chic and handsome, and is more suitable for little brothers to wear.
5. Taoist robe ZhichengThe Taoist robe is a kind of clothing that originated for adult men in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. It is actually an ancient Hufu. It is characterized by the right lapel collar, slits on both sides, hidden hems, and very wide cuffs.
A style of Taoist robe that people often confuse is called the straight robe. The difference between the two is that the Taoist robe has an inner hem and the clothes inside cannot be seen. The straight robe has an open train and no inner and outer hem.You can see the clothes inside and you can identify them accordingly.
These two types of Hanfu are simple and chic, and they have a boyish look to them. Those who like Hanfu can choose with confidence.
6. Coat and skirtThe coat skirt was first recorded in the Tang Dynasty and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. The coat is mostly with closed pipa sleeves. The neckline can also be divided into straight collar, square collar, etc. According to whether the length is above the knee, it can also be divided into long coat or short coat. The lower skirt is mostly a horse-face skirt or an ordinary pleated skirt.
The coat skirt has the characteristics of majesty and solemnity. Many dignitaries wear the coat skirt as a formal dress. The coat skirt is also the choice of wedding dress. It is a must-have choice for major occasions, especially when paired with a gorgeous horse face, it will add a sense of elegance. Point of nobility. If you like a lady with an elegant and solemn style, then the coat skirt will be your best choice.
7. QujuThe Quju is a type of clothing that originated in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Many women wear it as regular clothes. It has the characteristics of a narrow skirt from top to bottom, and the length can reach the floor. The hem of the skirt is generally trumpet-shaped, so that the shoes will not be exposed when walking. .
From the picture, we can also see that the skirt is actually a very complicated-looking style, with layers upon layers, which looks a bit like a modern cake skirt.
In fact, the curved train was a product of the less advanced clothing in ancient times. Later, underwear was gradually improved, and the curved train was somewhat redundant and was gradually replaced by the straight train. Quju's style focuses on gentleness, and the style of her clothes is relatively monotonous and plain, so she is a lady with a softer temperament.Sister, you can try it.
Hanfu is an important carrier of Chinese traditional culture. After thousands of years of development, it has formed an inclusive, colorful and unique clothing culture system with oriental charm.
