What are the living habits for the convenience of clearing the flag?

For the convenience of some work in life, there are also courtesies between monarch and minister.

In ancient times, when Manchu people in Qing Dynasty gradually got rid of riding and shooting life, horseshoe sleeves became the representative of decorations. Of course, putting down horseshoe sleeves is also a tribute to the old man by Manchu people. According to the laws of the Qing dynasty, women of the Han nationality were not allowed to wear banners at that time, but with the change of social atmosphere, the custom of dress became subtle. But the style of Manchu men is very simple, open on all sides and free to ride and shoot.

Manchu women's dress in Qing Dynasty is a kind of straight robe with wide collar and sleeves and legs at the hem. There are many beautiful patterns embroidered on the outside, and there is also a kind of women's cheongsam called "big sleeves", which embroidered patterns on the sleeves of clothes. The cheongsam of Manchu women in Qing Dynasty was very exquisite in workmanship. Lace and colorful decorations are embedded in the collar, lapels and cuffs of cheongsam. Of course, these need to be perfect with skirts.

The official robe is wide, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and has no collar. There are 2-4 slits at the bottom, which is convenient for sitting and shooting. Buckles and sleeves are both practical and decorative. 10- 17 cm (3-5 inches) horseshoe-shaped sheath (also known as sheath) is a bionic design. Elbow back at ordinary times increases aesthetic feeling. When you go out, put down the quilt on the back of your hand in case you catch a cold. When princes and ministers come to the imperial court to visit the emperor, they all brush off their horseshoe sleeves, hold their hands on the ground, bow three times and kowtow nine times to show their respect for the master slave.

In the long history of China for thousands of years, every dynasty and generation has its own clothing characteristics, which all represent the connotation and cultivation of China culture.
