Women's clothing and accessories in the Han Dynasty are widely recorded in ancient documents and literary works. "Book of the Later Han·Yu Fu Zhi" elaborates on the content of the hierarchical system of women's clothing in the Han Dynasty. Nie Chongyi's "Three Rites" of the Song Dynasty conducted a textual research on women's clothing based on the Confucian classics "Zhou Rites", "Rituals" and "Book of Rites". The inheritance of previous costumes in the Han Dynasty is reflected in the "Han inherits the Qin system". The clothing system of the Han Dynasty was formally established in the period of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Book of the Later Han·Yu Fu Zhi" contains detailed descriptions of the clothing and accessories worn by aristocratic women on different occasions. Aristocratic women wear a variety of clothing, while ordinary civilians wear relatively single styles of clothing due to economic constraints and official restrictions on clothing colors and materials. Under the rule of Huang-Lao thought in the early Han Dynasty, the binding effect of Confucian etiquette was not very strong. Overall, the society was in a relatively relaxed social environment, and the social status of women was improved. Women have a higher degree of…

The chest-length underskirt was formerly known as the high-waisted underskirt. It is the name given to a unique women's underskirt during the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties periods. In ancient times, most women's underskirts were not very high. However, during the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, a kind of underskirt appeared. A skirt with a very high waistband is often called a high-waist skirt in some clothing history. According to people's current research on it, it is generally called a chest-length skirt. Chest-length underskirts are generally divided into two types, one is the chest-length undershirt with a double-breasted skirt, and the other is a cross-collar chest-high underskirt. Generally speaking, the chest-length underskirt with a double-breasted skirt is more widely used.

The Tang Dynasty was its heyday and was very tolerant and open. The "Weather of the Tang Dynasty" is often used to describe this era. The clothing is also correspondingly magnificent and has the characteristics of the times. It can be seen that the costumes appearing in the TV series "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" have been carefully considered. Taoist uniforms, round-neck robes, women's and men's clothing, underskirts, etc., all restore the characteristics of Tang Dynasty clothing. Taoist uniform Taoist clothing, the clothing worn by Taoists, belongs to the Hanfu system. In "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", Li Mi wears typical Taoist clothing. Taoist clothing can be divided into five parts: Taoist scarves, Taoist crowns, Taoist robes, shoes and socks, and accessories. Taoist priests have different grades and dress differently. Li Mi has practiced Taoism for more than ten years and has a very high rank. He does not wear a Taoist scarf but a Taoist crown. The Taoist crown worn by Li Mi belongs to the three Taoist crowns, and only high-level Taoist priests are qualified to wear it. The three crowns of Taoism are the Taiqing fishtail crown, the Yuqing lotus crown, and the Shangqing hibiscus crown. The…

The hit drama hit Luoyang and attracted the attention of many Jimei people, especially the costumes and styles, which stunned our eyes with the costume style of the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, politics and economy were highly developed, culture and art were prosperous, foreign trade was developed, and the country was peaceful and the people were safe. Native culture and foreign culture absorb and integrate with each other. Flower patterns are commonly used in craft decoration.

Clothing is a material expression of the culture of the times. As two adjacent dynasties, the Tang and Song dynasties had very different clothing styles. The humanities and arts developed under the political background of "emphasis on literature and suppression of martial arts" had a very important impact on the changes in clothing. The clothing in the Song Dynasty had a very obvious trend of simplicity, pragmatism, elegance and advocating nature. Today we will take stock of some classic styles of Song Dynasty clothing. Song Dynasty women's clothing 褙子： It is the most distinctive costume of the Song Dynasty. It is usually worn in the living room. We can see it in Zhifu.

The style of the turban is characterized by the length of the garment reaching below the knees or directly to the feet, and the left and right armpits are sewn together with fabric at the front and back, making it flexible and not…

Yesterday I saw someone asked a question on the Q&A, "Is the chest-high skirt a type of Hanfu?" I saw someone on Weibo saying that the chest-high skirt was the result of the Hanfu Party and businessmen's will. This is true. It's uninhibited talk. As a fan of Hanfu for many years, Yaoqi concluded from the research of various historical materials that the chest-length skirt certainly belongs to Hanfu. Although there are no unearthed cultural relics for research, some pictures of ladies or Dunhuang murals contain clothes similar to chest-length skirts. To say that it was the result of commercialism, the deceased relatives really disagree. They can only say that there is indeed a gap between the chest-length skirt and the ancient style, but the clothes still have evidence to test. Moreover, in the eyes of Yao Qi, the chest-length skirt is the most lovable of all Hanfu, and has the magic power to make people fall in love with it at a glance. First of all, Yao Qi compiled a group of murals and pictures of ladies to prove that the emergence of chest-length underskirts is indeed well-documented. "The clouds think of the clothes, the flowers think of the…

There is a very basic shape in Hanfu, which is a skirt with an upper skirt and a lower skirt, which matches the basic concept of Hanfu with a top and a lower skirt. The jacket is a short top, and the skirt is usually a floor-length skirt. It is said that the prototype of Ru skirt existed during the emperor's period, but the earliest Ru skirt discovered by archeology was from the Warring States period. It is generally believed that the underskirt disappeared in the early Qing Dynasty during the "shaving of hair and changing clothes". In fact, Han women in the Qing Dynasty still wore Han-made skirts and shirts, but due to the heavy pressure of Manchu policies, the original form was gradually lost. Underskirts can be worn by both men and women. Men's underskirts usually refer to the "clothes" of the upper and lower garments. Deep clothing was popular during the Qin and Han Dynasties, but this does not mean that the skirt disappeared. It is still one of the commonly used clothing. The styles of underskirts in the Han Dynasty were relatively regular, with the upper undershirt reaching to the waist and the lower skirt reaching…

Women in the Tang Dynasty really knew how to dress. They emphasize different styles and outfit combinations. Tops include jackets with small sleeves, shirts with wide sleeves, and a variety of skirts. The most eye-catching was the "half-sleeve" dress, the sexiest women's clothing of the time. Half-sleeves, in layman's terms, are an ancient short-sleeved shirt, also called half-sleeves. It evolved from the "half-sleeve" style of the Han and Wei dynasties and was a breakthrough in clothing at that time. Its shape is double-breasted, with sleeves that do not cover the elbows and are waist-length. If worn with a skirt, it is called a "half-sleeve skirt." Even more groundbreaking than half-sleeves is the "topless" skirt, a fashion that boldly reforms the neckline. It changes the traditional openings of round collar, square collar, oblique collar, straight collar and sweetheart collar, increases the size of the opening, and cuts it into a "topless collar". As early as the early Tang Dynasty, people had begun to wear "topless" skirts. When Li Zhi (Tang Gaozong) became emperor, this fashion became more popular. After all, women dress too revealingly, which conflicts with traditional aesthetics. For this reason, Li Zhi ordered that clothes must be modest, which…

As a type of Hanfu, the Ruqun consists of a short coat for the upper body and a skirt for the lower body. This clothing system of upper body and lower skirt is very typical. The short jacket or shirt is worn on the upper body, and the length is usually no more than the knee. It is characterized by tight fitting and long skirts. If paired with a shawl and half arm, the outfit will be richer. The history of the skirt can be traced back to the Warring States Period, and became popular during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. According to the height of the skirt waist, underskirts can be divided into waist-length underskirts, high underskirts and chest-length underskirts. At the same time, according to the style of the collar, underskirts can be divided into cross-collar underskirts and straight-collar underskirts. In addition, depending on whether it is tucked in or not, the skirt can be divided into single skirt and compound skirt. The difference between the two is the presence or absence of waist rails. In the early Tang Dynasty, Ru skirts were the daily wear of ordinary people, but were gradually replaced by shirts and…

01. The “Hanfu” of the old days is now fresh Recently, Hanfu Chinese style brand "Shisanyu", led by Zhengxingu and Bilibili, with participation from Bubble Mart, completed a Series A financing of over 100 million yuan, bringing Hanfu, a niche track, into the capital market view. Public information shows that Hangzhou Dazai Culture Co., Ltd., to which Shisanyu belongs, was established less than three years ago. Its main products are original Hanfu, national style clothing, etc. "Hanfu" means Han Chinese clothing and is a concept of Chinese dynasty clothing or a general term for ancient Chinese clothing (from Wikipedia). This term can be traced back to the "Book of Han Dynasty" "Several greetings, happy Han clothes system". Academically speaking, there is no precise definition of "Hanfu". Professor Yuan Qi from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology pointed out that the concept of Hanfu is not certain and is not a certain form of clothing from a certain dynasty. It is hard to imagine that although our country has a huge Han population, "Hanfu" was still an extremely niche cultural circle more than ten years ago. At that time, a group of Internet users who wanted to "revitalize Chinese culture" gathered…

It’s so popular, no matter which tourist attraction you go to, you’ll always see young ladies and gentlemen wearing Hanfu taking photos in concave shapes. Xitang, which is close to Shanghai Beier, is crowded with tourists in the ancient town, and they are all Hanfu enthusiasts from all over the world. Why is Hanfu so popular? In a word: the little skirt is so pretty! ! ! Therefore, although the history of the revival of Hanfu is not too long, Hanfu, along with Lolita clothing and JK uniforms, is known as the "three pits". A pit literally means a sunken place. If there are too many people who like it, the ground cannot bear it, so it naturally becomes a depression (mistake). Another meaning of a pit is that the price of good-looking Hanfu is generally higher than that of fashionable clothes. If you want to own Hanfu, you must first cheat your wallet, which is considered a cheat. In this regard, this Hanfu Mengxin has a profound and clear intuitive understanding. Since my love for Hanfu got out of hand at the beginning of the year, I spent money like water. Half a year later, I recently sorted out…

When it comes to Chinese classical style clothing aesthetics, cheongsam and Tang suit have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the public knows very little about Hanfu. From confusion about the concept of "Hanfu" to the name of the structure of Hanfu, there is a lack of understanding, not to mention the behind-the-scenes cultural connotation.

Is Hanfu really that expensive? Whenever a new kid comes out and asks Coco this question, Coco's answer is of course: No! With the development of Hanfu, some large-scale factories have been established, and the cost of Hanfu has gradually become very low. Moreover, many merchants actually inflate their prices from the beginning, and the prices of some clothes are actually not that high at all. For example, the cost of a piece of clothing often includes: embroidery, fabric and labor costs. No matter how high the labor cost is, it will not be ridiculously high. Unless it is privately customized, it is not made by a machine assembly line. Of course, high-priced ones also have high-priced finesse, and low-priced ones also have low-priced benefits.
