Why are the costumes in the Tang Dynasty gorgeous, luxurious and open, while those in the Song Dynasty are simple and simple, and women's dresses are reserved and elegant?

As far as ordinary people are concerned, their clothing system is still in the same strain from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty and Hu Feng were incompatible, the clothes would be very different.

In my impression, the costumes in the Tang Dynasty were luxurious, while those in the Song Dynasty were simple.

First, it has something to do with the ruling class. The national strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong, the rulers were luxuriously dressed, and the national strength of the Song Dynasty was weak. The perennial disputes with Xixia and Liao and Jin require a lot of military expenditure, and the ruling class is still thriftily enriching the state treasury. Of course, it is also related to the personal character of the emperors in the Song Dynasty. Many emperors in the Song Dynasty advocated the simplicity and naturalness pursued by Taoism, and did not emphasize ornamentation.

Secondly, the culture of the Tang Dynasty was mainly aristocratic culture. Today, most of the memories of the Tang Dynasty come from court murals, ladies' pottery figurines and so on. What was contaminated with Hu Feng's openness was mostly preserved as a novelty at that time, not the mainstream. However, the rapid economic development in the Song Dynasty left a lot of information about the subaltern culture, and the aristocratic culture was naturally different from the subaltern culture.

The climate in Song Dynasty was colder than that in Tang Dynasty.
