Other costumes of ancient Chinese costumes

Mandarin jacket and cheongsam are typical clothes for men and women in Qing Dynasty. Now it has become a traditional costume in China.

A jacket is a short coat worn over a robe. The length of the jacket is umbilical, and the sleeves only cover the elbows, mainly for the convenience of riding, so it is called "jacket". When Manchu first entered the customs, it was only open to soldiers of the Eight Banners. It was not until the reign of Kangxi and Yongzheng that it became popular in the society, and it developed into clothes such as singles, clips, yarn, leather and cotton, which became men's plain clothes and could be worn by ordinary people. Later, it gradually evolved into a ceremonial costume. Regardless of identity, I wore a jacket outside my robe, which was elegant and generous.

There are three styles of mandarin jackets: pipa lapels, large lapels and double lapels. Pipa armour is also called short armour because of its lack of right armour. You can move freely when you wear it, and it is often used for luggage. A mandarin jacket with a big skirt, with the skirt spread out on the right side and different colors around it as the edge, is generally used as a uniform. Duijianzi, its clothing color has changed in different periods: at first it was cyan, at the middle of Qianlong period it was rose purple, and then it was crimson (called "Fucai"). During the Jiaqing period, clay gold and light gray were popular. Long-sleeved coats can be used as dresses instead of coats, and the color is mostly cyan. Officials of all sizes often wear this kind of clothes when paying customers. Because of its narrow sleeves, it is also called "long-sleeved coat".

There is one color in the coat that can't be used casually, and that is yellow. This yellow jacket is a special gift from the emperor. There are three main types of people who wear this kind of clothes: one is the bodyguard who "patrols" with the emperor, which is called "jacket on duty"; Second, when shooting around the wire, those who hit the target or get more prey are called "walking around the jacket"; Third, those who have made meritorious deeds in politics or war are called "martial arts jackets", and these people will go down in history. Only this royal jacket can be worn at any time
