Pattern characteristics of traditional costumes in Qin and Han dynasties

The simplicity of Qin and Han costumes and the political unity of Qin and Han dynasties make Qin and Han costumes present a feeling of breaking the old and creating the new, which is different from the previous generation. The most distinctive feature of Qin and Han costumes is simple and generous deep clothes. Under the deep clothing system, both men and women are under the coat, and the clothes are connected with the middle belt. Deep clothing is characterized by Zen crown, Zhu Yi, Fang Xin, Tian Ling, Yu Pei and Zhu Lv, which are collectively called "cicada clothing". Because the Qin and Han dynasties advocated black, the dark clothes were dark in color and showed simple colors. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the great ethnic integration and the prosperity of metaphysics made the costumes of this period develop two characteristics on the basis of retaining the basic form of Qin and Han Dynasties: the "pants pleats" in the north and the beauty in the south. Under the influence of ethnic minorities, the form of northern tops has changed. The big pants and tops (pleats) of ethnic minorities are collectively called "pants pleats with abundant upper section and abundant lower section", which later developed into royal costumes. On the other hand, the popularity of metaphysics and Buddhism in the south makes empty talk popular in society. Upper-class clothes have many curls and wrinkles, and the line combination is smooth, giving people a sense of comfort. The elegant Tang suit "recalls the heyday of the new century, and there are still thousands of small towns." From Du Fu's poems, we can still feel the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The political and economic development in the Tang Dynasty was highly developed, and culture and art flourished. Coupled with the extensive absorption of Indian and Iranian cultures, the costumes of this period showed gorgeous, open and diverse characteristics, and the women's dresses of the Tang Dynasty can best reflect these characteristics. Women's clothing is characterized by the unity of skirt, blouse and blouse. There is a topless image among women. We can see from Zhou Fang's "Flower Girl" and Zhang Xuan's "The Lady of the State of Guo You Chun" that it needs to be emphasized that only people with status can wear cardigans, so not all women in the Tang Dynasty can be semi-naked. In short, from the gorgeous costumes of the Tang Dynasty, we can intuitively appreciate the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty. Deep and elegant Song Dynasty costumes, most of whose colors and styles are inherited from Tang Dynasty. The whole culture of Song Dynasty presents a kind of introverted feature, which is reflected in the simplicity and profundity of costumes. Moreover, the status of the literati in the Song Dynasty has improved, so under the influence of the literati, the costumes in the Song Dynasty have added a lot of literati temperament, which is particularly elegant. In the Song Dynasty, the most striking feature of the emperor's court dress was the appearance of Tian Tongguan, but the emperor's court dress in the Song Dynasty gave people the feeling that it was not as gorgeous as before, and most of the official hats were spread out. Dongpo towel is very popular among retired officials. In Song Dynasty, women wore a short jacket with narrow sleeves and a long skirt. Usually, they wear small long-sleeved coats and double-breasted jackets, much like vests today. The neckline and front of the coat are embroidered with beautiful lace.
