Clothing patterns of Tang Dynasty costumes

The clothing pattern of Hanfu in Tang Dynasty changed the creative thinking of sketching with real flowers, real grass, real fish and real insects, but it did not exclude the traditional dragon and phoenix patterns, which was also determined by the influence of imperial power. At this time, the clothing pattern design tends to express the artistic style of freedom, fullness and fatness.

The Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Che Fuzhi, records the fancy of the official uniforms of civil servants, including the long ribbon of the phoenix, the ganoderma lucidum of the crane, the Cao Rui of the magpie, the prestige of the goose, the flower of the handsome stork, and the rehmannia.

The dress patterns in the late Tang Dynasty were more exquisite and beautiful. Flower-and-bird clothing patterns, border decoration patterns and group flower clothing patterns are really colorful in the soft clothing of silk and yarn. As Wang Jian of the Five Dynasties said, Luoshan leaves are heavily embroidered, and there is a cluster of golden phoenix silver geese dancing in two directions, between the words "Long live peace". Today, we see these luxurious and exquisite clothing patterns, which are precious video materials preserved for future generations by the painters in Dunhuang Grottoes with hard work. The development of costumes in Tang Dynasty is an overall development. At this time, the clothing pattern design tends to be free, plump, gorgeous and round, which is manifested in shoes, hats, towels, Yu Pei, hairstyle, makeup and jewelry.

The Tang Dynasty inherited the styles of Zhou, Warring States and Wei and Jin Dynasties, and integrated the rigor of dress design of Zhou Dynasty, the stretch of Warring States, the lightness of Han Dynasty and the elegance of Wei and Jin Dynasties, and on this basis, it became more luxurious, making the dress and dress patterns reach the peak in history. The influence of costumes and costume patterns in the Tang Dynasty on later generations continues to this day. The application of branch patterns in modern clothing patterns embodies the implication of combining traditional patterns with modern aesthetic consciousness.
