The introduction of folk costumes in Qing Dynasty reveals the characteristics of men's and women's folk costumes in Qing Dynasty.

Clothing in Qing Dynasty also directly influenced the development and evolution of modern clothing in China. Clothing in Qing Dynasty has a very close relationship with Manchu customs. Qing Dynasty costumes were developed on the basis of Manchu costumes and absorbed some elements of Han costumes.

"Rolling color embroidery" is a major feature of folk costumes in the Qing Dynasty, especially in women's costumes. "Rolling embroidery" means that not only various colored teeth and tapestries are embedded in clothes, but also embroidery is added, that is, headscarves, aprons, skirts and uppers of rural women. It is also necessary to embroider some lace patterns with silk threads of various colors.

1, robe, coat. The mandarin jacket often worn by Manchu people in Qing Dynasty was a popular coat in Qing Dynasty. It saves materials, is convenient to make and wear, replaces ancient dresses, and is easily accepted by future generations. The robes of the Qing Dynasty are complete and rigorous, and they are closed, so their images are solemn, solemn, lofty, extraordinary and unique. They broke through the clothes that have been praised for thousands of years and left a deep memory for the world.

2. hats. People in the Qing Dynasty liked to wear hats. It can be roughly divided into: warm hat, cool hat, leisure hat and Kunqiu hat worn by women. The so-called warm hat, worn in winter, is round, with upturned brim and red ribbon at the top as decoration. The cool hat, without eaves, looks like a "sauce cloak" on the lid of a sauce jar in rural areas of Northeast China. Cap, commonly known as "melon skin cap", is the most popular hat in Qing Dynasty. Suitable for all ages, it is made by splicing six petals. The top of the hat should be decorated with a "big knot" made of velvet, commonly known as "abacus knot" In order to distinguish the front and back of the hat, an obvious sign-the hat is nailed in the middle of the edge of the hat, which is decorated with jade, jade and other jewelry. Kun ball cap is a kind of hat worn by women. Its style is similar to men's warm hat, and the leather eaves are upturned. The hat is made of red, blue and purple satin at most, and the top is covered with flowers, mostly decorated with embroidery or gold and silver.

3. sword. Southern vests were loved by men, women and children in the Qing Dynasty because of their convenience and heart protection. They were often worn outside robes and played an invisible decorative role. There are three styles according to the skirt type: big skirt, pipa skirt and straight skirt. Among them, the front of the "I-shaped" is called "Batulukanjian", which means the vest worn by the samurai, and is deeply loved by the children of the Eight Banners.

4. Skirts and pants. In the Qing Dynasty, Manchu and Han women mostly wore culottes, mainly long skirts. For example, in early fashion, there are patterns in the pleats in the skirt, which looks beautiful in the moonlight. The "phoenix-tailed skirt", which was popular in the middle period, used gold and silver thread to join the skirts together, just like the phoenix-tailed skirt. During the Qianlong period, women liked to wear pale yellow pink-rimmed shirts and embroidered skirts and trousers. During the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi, the phoenix-tailed skirt was improved into a "fish-scale pleated skirt", that is, the hem of the skirt was connected with a thread so that it could be expanded and contracted, and it looked like a fish scale. In the late Guangxu period, skirts appeared again, with ribbons on them and gold, silver and bronze bells jingling at the sharp corners. In the Qing Dynasty, red was the most expensive dress for women, and red clothes were often worn on festivals. This preference for clothing color influenced the day.

5. boots and shoes. Men generally wore boots in Qing dynasty, which was also a reflection of riding and shooting national life. After Manchu entered the customs, due to the warm climate and improved economic conditions, people stopped wearing clumsy fur and made boots out of cloth. According to the regulations of the Qing dynasty, only officials who entered the DPRK were allowed to wear square boots. Therefore, folk men wear pointed boots, which are the same style for the rich and the poor, but with different materials.

Women in Qing Dynasty paid attention to wearing high-heeled wooden soled shoes, especially Manchu aristocratic women. This is also the most distinctive shoe in Qing Dynasty, and it was later called "flag shoe". Its style is to put the high heels in the center of the shoes, usually more than three inches. Wooden heels are wrapped in white cloth, and the parts that don't touch the ground are mostly decorated with embroidery or beads. According to the shape of the wooden bottom, it can be divided into "flowerpot bottom" and "horseshoe bottom".
