Qing dynasty clothes

An analysis of the royal costumes in Qing dynasty: the casual clothes of the Qing emperors were mostly made of silk, satin, yarn and brocade.

Whether weaving flowers or jacquard, patterns symbolizing good fortune are often used.

Such as Tuanlong, Tuanshou and Tuanhe, meaning "happiness" and "longevity";

The patterns of bats, group initials, panchang and ribbons mean "longevity".

For another example, the word ""or the pattern composed of evergreen flowers and ganoderma lucidum heads is called "all the best";

The emperor should wear beads in royal robes, and beads of different textures should be worn according to different occasions.

Zhu Chao is a string of 108 oriental pearls.

Every twenty-seven oriental pearls are divided into four parts with four red coral beads at equal intervals.

Its beads are gourd-shaped and called "Buddha's head".

When wearing beads, the head of the Buddha hangs down on the back, and a group of jade ornaments are connected by a yellow sash, which is called "the back cloud".

Beads are hung on red coral beads around the chest and decorated with one or two turquoise beads, which is called "commemoration".

Zhu Chao's composition is of special significance.

One hundred and eight beads represent twelve months of the year.

Four red coral beads symbolize spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The Buddha's head and the cloud hanging behind it mean "the beginning of unity"

Three strings of turquoise monuments represent the early, middle and late January.

The emperor wore a plate of oriental pearls when he wore royal robes.

Empress and Empress Dowager wore a plate of oriental pearls when they wore royal robes, and two plates of red coral pearls hung obliquely on their shoulders to show their special status.

The emperor wears beads, but also wears different textures and colors according to different occasions:

Sacrifice to heaven, wear lapis lazuli and beads,

Wear amber or beeswax beads in holy places,

Wearing red coral beads on Memorial Day,

Yue Bai wearing turquoise beads.

Beads of different textures and colors symbolize the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon.

As a link between heaven and earth, Dongzhu Zhu Chao is dedicated to the emperor.

When the emperor wears clothes, he should wear a corresponding belt around his waist.

Wearing a robe is a robe belt, and wearing a costume belt is a costume belt.

There are two kinds of Korea,

One is a bright yellow ribbon used for the ceremony.

There are four dragon gold discs on the belt, with honey stones and oriental pearls embedded in the middle;

One is for sacrifice, and four gold squares are embedded with a string of beads and various jade.

There are hanging objects in the belt, namely left and right handkerchiefs, bags, tunnels, scabbard knives, etc.

Jifu belt and Daichao belt have the same color and similar shape.

Four gold-encrusted gems are optional on the belt, and there is a corner buckle at the end.

There are rings on the left and right of the column (sound fēn).

It is also very particular to wear a wallet.

Manchu people call the purse "testimonies", which is a favorite ornament of Manchu people.

Manchu old customs, both men and women, wear robes and belts, with "workers" tied to them, and purse is one of them.

It evolved from the "bag" (a bag of rice) that Manchu people carried when they went out hunting or nomadic.

It's the same as a scabbard knife, a fire sickle and a handkerchief for wiping sweat.

With the development of productivity and the change of production mode, nomadic and hunting have become a fixed life and farming.

These tasks have lost their original meaning and become decorations.

The works of the Qing emperor are of high quality and exquisitely made.

Embroider various patterns on silks and satins to match clothes.

The patterns embroidered on the purse are "Five Grains" (the first month) and "Five Poisons" (Duanyang Festival).

Queqiao Fairy Club (July), Sweet Osmanthus Fragrance (Mid-Autumn Festival), Chrysanthemum (Double Ninth Festival in September),

"Hulu Yang Sheng" (winter solstice festival), "Jiazi fever" and "Wanxian Xianning" (New Year's Eve). In order to welcome the festival.

The clothes of the Qing emperor were drawn up by Chu Guangsi of the Ministry of the Interior, and the styles, colors and application numbers were accurate.

The length, width, texture, pattern and color of satin are clearly defined.

For example, the "imperial edict" in the archives has recorded the satin woven by the official bureau many times.

"Be sure to have even latitude and longitude, appropriate width, exquisite patterns and bright colors",

If the quality is not up to standard, it is necessary to compensate or flog.

Painters of the Ministry of Interior carefully designed the pictures and sent them to three weavers in Jiangning (Nanjing), Suzhou and Hangzhou for weaving.

Jiangning weaving is responsible for royal colorful brocade, and Suzhou weaving is responsible for twill, silk, brocade, yarn, silk and embroidery.

Hangzhou Weaving is responsible for weaving Korean clothing, silk and Hangzhou silk.

This embroidery was designed by Ruyige's painter. After inspection,

Enlarge and color according to the size of the finished product, and send it to the embroidery department of the Interior Office and Jiangnan Weaving yamen for making.

The emperor sometimes wears clothes at will, regardless of the code.

According to the regulations, the auspicious clothes of the emperor are bright yellow, and the robes of the emperor and others are fragrant (autumn leaves).

Although the color of clothes in the code system is different in rank and status, Qianlong clearly shows his preference for fragrance color.

In the 19th year of Qianlong (1754), December 29th was New Year's Eve.

Emperor Qianlong will bid farewell to the old year in front of the statue of his ancestors in the palace.

That night, he took a shower and changed clothes as usual.

When eunuch Siku held out a bright yellow dragon robe, he ordered to wear a "black fox-faced dragon robe".

Say, this dragon robe

"Usually, there are few days to wait. After bathing, wait until1February 30th every year, taking every year as an example".

If others wear clothes that don't conform to their status, it is definitely against the system.

The emperor has a golden mouth and jade words, and he does whatever he wants, which is not restricted by the system.

In addition, Emperor Qianlong kept saying that the dressing system followed the ancient ceremony, but he appeared in many court paintings wearing Hanfu.

He once said that his Hanfu is just a "Danqing game".

Palace paintings are mostly realistic works. No matter how high the level is, painters dare not draw a portrait of an emperor.

It can be seen that court life is often politicized, which shows that imperial power is supreme.

There was a clothing supervisor in the Qing Palace, who specialized in storing the emperor's court clothes and costumes.

There is also a special clothes warehouse to manage the clothes and crowns commonly used by the emperor on weekdays.

There is also a large group of eunuchs, waiting on the emperor to change clothes at any time.

The emperor changed his clothes many times a day, sometimes two or three times a day.
