Song dynasty clothing

The costumes in Song Dynasty were mainly divided into official clothes and casual clothes. Official clothes are only worn by officials, while casual clothes are worn by ordinary people.

The design of official uniforms in Song Dynasty is simple, mainly in dark colors such as black, purple and red. There are different decorations on the robes, such as beads, lapels and shoulder skirts, to show the status of officials. The official hat is also a key part. Besides the official logo, it is decorated with gold embroidery and Yu Pei.

In terms of color, it is mainly light, such as beige, light green and lavender. In addition, the Song Dynasty clothing paid attention to details and decoration, and embroidery and gold paint were often added to sleeves and necklines to make the clothing more beautiful.

Aesthetic characteristics of dignified and elegant costumes in Song Dynasty

The solemnity of costumes in the Song Dynasty is mainly manifested in the explicit forms of costumes, which can reflect the solemnity of ceremonies to some extent. As a country of etiquette, China, as an explicit form of "ceremony", also has its development history. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the clothing hierarchy has gradually matured, and various ritual systems have emerged.

A formal dress is a dress worn on a grand occasion. In primitive society, people would wear colorful clothes to show their solemnity when worshiping ghosts and gods, which was the embryonic form of China ceremony. Clothing has already completed the transformation from practical function to a higher level of spiritual civilization, reflecting people's inner spiritual needs. Clothing has become the carrier of etiquette, and Chinese civilization has also been demonstrated through the splendid and long-standing clothing civilization.

The preciseness and completeness of dress shows that China has always attached importance to etiquette and civilization. People should wear formal clothes to show their solemnity, no matter at the meeting, or at issuing imperial edicts or large-scale sacrificial ceremonies. China's traditional culture attaches great importance to sacrifice, which requires formal attire.
