Song dynasty in the clothes on the strict standards, in the street can be judged from the dress on the other side of the occupation, if the other side is an official from the dress at a glance to see how many grades, the specific piece of us look at it.

In the Song Dynasty has a strict hierarchy, in the specifications of the house decoration, and clothing and other aspects of the customized strict system, so as to distinguish between the ranks of each person (if wearing modern clothing across the Song Dynasty, then it will be so?).

Previous paragraph we mentioned the elephant watts, fish, a lot of partners do not understand what, here I talk about,

Elephant watts are ministers to the court are holding a hand plate, the Song Dynasty, more than five is an ivory plate, while more than nine is a wooden plate.

The fish bag is a proof of identity worn by officials in the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty with gold and silver made of fish, tied to the belt of the official uniform, and then hung behind the back of the fish bag from the "fish bag" can be distinguished from the rank of the noble and the lowly. According to the "history of Song Dynasty - public opinion clothing Zhi", where wearing purple official uniforms of the official with the gold fish bag, wearing red robes with the silver fish bag; court "give purple", to the gold coated with silver fish bag; "give scarlet" also has a special fish bag. Beijing officials, state and county officials, the Emperor's special gift of purple and red clothes will wear a fish bag, while the Prince and military officials and generals and colonels serving at the inner court do not need to wear a fish bag.

The court boots above the dafu have all four kinds of decorations, but below the wugonglang there are no ribbons, and below the xuanqinglang up to the generals and kabuki artists have no silk edges.

Fishbags

Song people's clothing system:

Tuan Gong two years expressly provided that "the county towns and fields of the color of the public, and the common people, merchants, Kabuki, not tied to the official actor, only allowed to serve soap, white clothes, iron, horn belt, shall not be served purple". That is, the ordinary people at that time can only wear black and white two colors of clothing.

According to "Tokyo Dreaming Records" records: Song Dynasty Tokyo cab, agriculture, industry, business lines have "the color of the dress, do not dare to go beyond". For example, vendors in the incense store to sell incense, can only "cap cape back", and pawnshop vendors wear is "soap shirt angle belt", not cap, must not be confused with each other. In addition, selling medicine and fortune-telling people "all with crowns and belts", vegetable vendors wear white pious cloth shirt, wearing a blue handkerchief. Song Dynasty, this embodiment of the strict hierarchy in dress, even beggars can not be avoided, they also have different levels of dress, if not in accordance with the provisions of the dress, will be forbidden by the public.

Well Zhao Benshan teacher to the Song Dynasty to judge each other is not a chef do not have to smell the smell, clothing can judge.
