Why is the shoulder decoration of ancient women's clothing in China called cloud shoulder? What did you say?/Sorry?

Yun Jian's reputation is determined by its colorful and ingenious design. Wearing it on a woman's shoulders is like facing the clouds and the moon, and it is like a cloud after the rain. It is an important part of ancient women's clothing in China. In the long history, the Han nationality absorbed the costume culture of other nationalities and formed a beautiful cloud shoulder, which is also one of the unique costume parts of the Han nationality, and the national costume culture it represents is even more meaningful.

Cloud Shoulder first appeared in Sui Dynasty, which was the second great national integration in China history. At this time, people's lives have made great progress in food, clothing, housing and transportation. After the Sui Dynasty unified more than half of China, the cultures of all ethnic groups began to merge and formed a unique Yunjian culture. Until the Qing Dynasty, Yunjian was a necessary costume for women in ancient China. When it is used, women will put the cloud shoulder on their shoulders and wrap it around their necks, adding icing on the cake to beautiful clothes.

They will wear cloud shoulders on some important occasions, such as solar terms and weddings. No matter whether it is the upper nobility or the lower class, as long as they are women, they must have a cloud shoulder to match the dress. It takes a long time to make a delicate cloud shoulder, and its embroidery patterns and stitches are different. For example, every cloud is embroidered with insects, birds, flowers or operas, and the stitches, such as arm-in-arm, needle roller, sewing thread, circle gold and Qi Zhen, have different styles.

When the cloud shoulder is used, it is often paired with some other small ornaments, such as a small silver bell. People often decorate the ears of each cloud with silver bells. Whenever the bride walks gracefully, the silver bell on her shoulder will move with it, which not only meets the audience's viewing needs, but also gives her the beauty of flowing music. For the couple, such exquisite cloud shoulders represent that they will step into a new life after the wedding ceremony. Like a cloud shoulder, it looks like a cloud and a moon. If there are clouds after the rain, there will be sunshine.
