Ancient Korean court clothes

Hanbok was initially mainly influenced by China's Tang Dynasty costumes. In this regard, it is recorded in the history books: "Serve etiquette, live and learn from China". During the Tang Dynasty, Silla had very close contacts with the Tang Dynasty, and its clothing characteristics were almost the same as those of the Tang Dynasty. The development of Hanbok personality began in Li's middle period in Korea. Since then, Hanbok, especially women's clothing, has gradually developed into high-waisted skirts, and the difference between Hanbok and China clothing has gradually increased. However, official dresses, court dresses and other important dresses still have China characteristics. During the Korean War (1950-1953), western-style clothes entered Korea. In the 1960s and 1970s, due to the accelerated pace of life and work, people felt that Hanbok was too heavy and inconvenient to wear, so the number of users was greatly reduced. However, Hanbok fans have been actively promoting Hanbok and designing styles that are in line with the times and easy to wear, which has revived Hanbok.

The origin of "the nation in white"

Hanbok is very particular about colors and patterns. Historically, due to the difference between the rich and the poor, Hanbok has great differences in patterns and colors. For example, kings in the Korean era wore yellow clothes symbolizing the center of the universe, while civilians mostly wore plain white clothes, which is why the Korean nation was called "the nation in white". Last June, 1 1, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders Summit was held in Busan, South Korea. South Korea specially made hanbok for the leaders attending the meeting. According to reports, the colors and patterns of each hanbok are selected according to the "Yin-Yang and Five Elements Theory", each representing a different meaning. For example, the five colors of yellow, cyan, red, black and white respectively represent the five directions of east, south, west, north and middle and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. In terms of patterns, the producer chose pine, bamboo, cloud and peony as patterns. Pine and bamboo represent unshakable will and gentlemanly demeanor, while cloud peony seems to be beyond the secular and wealth. It will be considered impolite not to wear hanbok during the Spring Festival. Hanbok is much more complicated than modern clothes. Take the way women wear Hanbok as an example. Wear underwear, petticoats and other matching clothes under the skirt. Pants are 3 to 4 cm shorter than petticoats, and petticoats are 3 to 4 cm shorter than skirts. The opening of the skirt should be placed at the back, and the side skirt should be placed on the left and tied from the front. In addition, when women wear Hanbok, they should choose classical style to show their elegant temperament. Of course, it is necessary to wear makeup when wearing Hanbok, but according to friends, even in normal times, Korean girls will dress up carefully before going out, otherwise it will be considered as a sign of lack of cultivation. In the eyes of Koreans, it has become a normal state to wear Hanbok on formal occasions. If the younger generation violates it, the older generation will not accept their "inquiry". People who don't wear hanbok in the street will be accused by strangers as "rude and impolite" during the Spring Festival. Because of this, Hanbok has a special symbolic meaning in their minds, no matter where Koreans are.

Hanbok is a traditional costume of the Korean nation from ancient times to modern times. Very elegant and tasteful. It is a traditional costume of Korea and one of the excellent traditional cultures of Korea. Modern times are replaced by dresses. Wear it only on festivals and special days. Generally speaking, the lines of Hanbok are both curvy and straight, especially the tops and long skirts of women's Hanbok are thin and thick, dignified and elegant. Men show their unique taste in pants, jackets, vests and vests. White is the basic color, which changes according to the season, identity, material and color. In special ceremonies such as marriage, ordinary people will also wear gorgeous clothes and jewelry. In Korea, holiday clothes are also essential. Parents must pay a New Year call on the morning of the Spring Festival. Parents wear ordinary hanbok, and children wear colorful children's (seven-color satin) coats and hanbok to pay New Year greetings. One-year-old clothes are in Korea. When a child is one year old, a ceremony will be held to pray for a long life and no illness. At this time, children should wear one-year-old clothes. Boys turn to light-colored clothes, usually blue-edged pink shorts and light purple pants, with blue vests and grass green belts on them. Girls use dark green or yellow shorts, and wear colored children's shorts for one year or special days. Recently, one-year-old girls also wear Tang suit. Traditional hanbok is only worn on special days, because it is complicated to wear. Therefore, Hanbok, which pursues simple and convenient life, has recently appeared. There are many kinds of Hanbok, and according to the diversity of materials and differences in design, various styles have been produced. However, as one of Korea's outstanding traditional cultures, costume culture is enduring.
