The history and culture of Korean traditional clothing

Korean clothing was originally mainly influenced by the clothing of the Tang Dynasty in China.

Regarding this, there is a record in the history books: "The uniforms, etiquette, and daily life are the same as those of China."

During the Tang Dynasty, Silla had very close contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and the characteristics of Korean clothing were almost the same as those of the Tang Dynasty.

The development of Hanbok's personality began in the middle of Lee's Joseon Dynasty.

Since then, Korean clothing, especially women's clothing, has gradually developed into high-waisted and underskirt skirts, and the difference from Chinese clothing has gradually increased.

However, important formal attires such as official attire and court attire still retain more Chinese characteristics.

During the Korean War (1950-1953), Western-style clothing entered South Korea.

In the 1960s and 1970s, due to the accelerated pace of life and work, people felt that Hanbok was too cumbersome and inconvenient to wear, so the number of users decreased greatly.

However, hanbok enthusiasts have been actively promoting hanbok and designing styles that are in line with the times and easy to wear, which has restored hanbok's vitality.

Korean clothing culture includes traditional Korean clothing and modern Korean clothing. Hanbok is the traditional clothing of the Korean nation that has evolved from ancient times to modern times. It is elegant and tasteful. It is a traditional clothing of Korea and one of the outstanding traditional cultures of Korea.

Generally speaking, the lines of Hanbok have the beauty of both curves and straight lines. Especially the short tops and long skirts of women's Hanbok are thin at the top and thick at the bottom, which is dignified and elegant.

When it comes to Hanbok, we have to mention that the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders' Summit was held in Busan, South Korea in October 2005. South Korea specially made Hanbok for the leaders attending the meeting.

According to reports, the color and pattern of each Hanbok are selected based on the "Yin Yang and Five Elements Theory", and each represents a different meaning.

For example, the five colors of yellow, green, red, black, and white represent the five directions of east, south, west, north, and middle respectively, as well as the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In terms of patterns, the makers chose green pine, bamboo, clouds and peonies as patterns.

Green pine and bamboo represent unswerving will and gentlemanly demeanor, while clouds and peonies symbolize the transcendent realm and gorgeous wealth far away from the world.

Historically, Hanbok was a popular clothing for residents of the Korean Peninsula, but now it is difficult to see it on the streets.

The reason why Koreans usually wear Hanbok is because the pace of modern society is accelerating, and traditional Hanbok is relatively complicated to wear and inconvenient to move around.

However, this has actually improved the level of Hanbok, making it a dress for important festivals.

In the hearts of Koreans, wearing Hanbok on formal occasions has become a norm. If a younger generation violates it, the elders will not accept their "greetings."

During the New Year and festivals, take to the streets *** Hanbok will also be criticized by strangers as "rude and impolite." Because of this, no matter where Koreans are, Hanbok has a special symbolic meaning in their minds.
