Manchu costume name

Manchu costumes are called flag dresses.

Flag dress is a traditional dress of Manchu. As a uniform robe-style dress for all flag bearers, it is called flag dress, and it is called "Yi Yin" in Manchu. "Flag clothing" is also called "flag clothing", which is divided into four types: single, clip, leather and cotton. The traditional robes of men's flag and women's flag are called flag clothes, which are the traditional costumes of Manchu in China.

Clothing is made of silk, satin, tulle or cotton and linen, with various colors and patterns. Some embroider the flag surface into a set of patterns, and more are inlaid with layers of fine lace on the skirt, cuffs, neckline and hem. Shake your head and wings and comb two heads or flags. I like to wear earrings, bracelets, rings, hairpins, velvet flowers and sideburns. This kind of "clothes are all connected by skirts" is obviously different from the two clothes under the coat of the Han nationality.

Pay attention to the flag dress

Besides different styles, clothes should not be worn in the wrong color. The highest color is bright yellow, which can only be worn by empress dowager, emperor, queen and imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine and the crown princess can wear apricot yellow and golden yellow, and the other concubines can wear them at will, such as red, green and pink. And they wear colorful clothes, which also gives them more opportunities to get the holy favor. In addition to clothes, the flag head is a dress that can distinguish the level of concubines.
