The ancient women's etiquette under the beautiful dress to pay attention to

Ancient women's etiquette under the beautiful skirt

First, the standing capacity:

Jia Zi said: Solid Yi is looking at the back, flat shoulders, arms like a drum. Foot idle two inches, end face to take tassels. The end of the whole foot, the body does not shake the elbow, said by standing; because of the micro-chime said **** stand; because of the chime folded said Su Li; because of the hanging Pei said Pei Li.

Referring to the artifacts, the Jingli is upright and level, with both hands together and hidden in the sleeves. The hands are placed anywhere from the chest to the lower abdomen, even holding and leaning on something. Note: The Chinese emphasize naturalness, not straightness, so the arms should be soft, never stiff - so that the Chinese dress will lay smoothly into soft curves, displaying the beauty of China.

We commonly see the statue of Fu Zi performing the crossed-handed salute - but this action should be accompanied by a chime fold to show respect - that is, the waist should be bent at the same time by roughly thirty degrees. Of course, for artistic reasons, the artist painted it straight.

Application: I thought that the standing up is a must for Hanbudo practitioners, and that we should stand up to our masters and teachers. In view of the fact that people nowadays do not do great courtesy, we can increase or decrease the degree of bowing according to the situation - but at least, bowing the head to show respect is a must.

Second, the sitting capacity:

Jia Zi said: sitting with a standing capacity, not poor calf and feet do not fall, the view of the balance is said to be by the sitting, slightly bent over to look at the honored knee is said to be **** sitting, tilting his head to see out of the ordinary is said to be Su sitting, abolition of the head of the low elbow is said to be humble sitting.

Reference to artifacts, the Han Dynasty, sitting by the knees and tight, sitting on the heels of the buttocks, the back of the feet to the ground, hands on the knees, eyes forward. For Hu sitting, the reasoning is the same, upright, legs must not be crossed, hands on the knees. Hands can be clenched fist, rushing forward; can also be closed to hold in the abdomen.

Application: With the revival of Han culture, there will be more and more occasions to sit elegantly. If in such formal occasions, you can only through a little up and down the way the knees to relieve a little fatigue. Of course, for the friends gathering and other life scenes, everyone箕距或趺都行.

Third, salute:

1, the formal bowing ceremony: the left hand pressure right hand (the woman right hand pressure left hand), hand hidden in the sleeve, raise the hand plus forehead, bow ninety degrees, and then rise, at the same time, the hand along with the eyebrow again, and then hand down.

2, general bowing: upright, arms together straight forward, right hand slightly curved, left hand attached to it, both arms from the forehead down to the chest, while the upper body bowed forty-five degrees. Formal occasions, to friends.

3, arching: class bowing hand, just the body and arms do not have to move.

4, nodding greeting.

5, formal obeisance: upright, raise the hand plus forehead as in the bowing ceremony, bow ninety degrees, then straighten (this section is called bowing), while the hand along with the eyebrow again flush. Then both knees on the ground at the same time, slowly down to worship, palms on the ground, forehead on the palms of the hands (this is called worship), and then straighten up the upper body, at the same time the hand along with the Qi brow (this is called the Xing) - and then according to etiquette, the flat body or then worship ...... flat body, the two hands of the Qi brow, get up, upright, and then hand Put down.

6, general worship (for elegant sitting): raise the hips, straighten the upper body, knees to support the body, and then worship hands (hands to the ground, head to the hands) or kowtow (head buckled to the ground) or kowtow (a long time) or pause head (a short time).

7, women's salute: in the spirit of equality, do not require women special salute. But in the grace of forbearance - women salute both hands together in front of the chest, slightly bent knees, slightly bowed head can be; if the worship, the upper body straight, knees on the ground, close the hands down, head slightly lowered, can be.

Application: 5 for general use in rituals, or very respectful occasions. 6 for elegant sitting. 1 to 4, should be used as a hanbok when the daily salute, depending on the specific circumstances - the other party is respected, and the specific occasion allows you to show the degree of etiquette... ...People nowadays lack the concept of etiquette and need not be overly demanding, but arching one's hand should be possible. If you are talking to someone and someone comes along, when you pay attention to the greeting, you have to decide how much to curtsy, depending on the people around you.

Fourth, welcome:

Ancient people pay attention to the welcome of the guest of honor, so if the host and guest in the doorway unexpectedly, then the host will pretend not to know, ignore the door closed, and so on to change clothes and then open the door to welcome the guest of honor. When welcoming guests, the host stands on the right side of the door (in fact, the host is in the east, the guest in the west - if you meet the guest outside, it is even more so), the guest walks on the left side of the door. After welcoming the guests into the door, for the guests to show the way, every corner, to say "please", the guests answer "please", to open the door for the guests, lifting the curtain ...... masters invite guests to the seat (that is, to the right of the chair), the guests to leave. The guest is asked to leave - ultimately, depending on the situation to decide to sit.

Today all this is unnecessary. Because of the variety of building layouts nowadays, it is not possible to distinguish clearly between master and guest, but the spirit of the master leading the way and the guest walking after the master should be grasped.

V. Banquet:

Dongdao first said "please", the guests resigned, the host solid please, while taking chopsticks on it, do not have to be too modest.

Drinking tea, drinking wine, with the left hand of the sleeve blocking the cup, in order to elegant.

In short, the principle is: if the heart is at peace, then do it, and if you can do it, then do it - the rest is not forced.

Which women in ancient times can wear a red skirt

Skirt is today many women extremely favorite clothing, on the skirt of the utility of the skirt, ancient skirts and now the skirt has not a small difference.

In ancient times, women wore skirts mainly to pay attention to etiquette, rather than to show their charm and beauty. Ancient China had very strict requirements for women's speech and behavior, as well as their attire.

Ming Dynasty Li Yu wrote in "Idle Happenings": "Women are different from men, all in the lower body. Men are born willing to have a room for the room, so for the room, only between a few Xi, hidden secret ware, love and care of family treasures, all in the skirt a few."

Ancient people have a strong sense of mystery and sacredness for the woman's lower body, and emphasize that the woman to skirt to cover the lower body, otherwise, it will be considered frivolous and shameless.

Whether old or young women, as long as they are married and have a family, they should always wear neat skirts in a regular manner, even at home. If a guest visits and encounters a housewife without a skirt, it is considered disrespectful and rude to the guest, and the word gets out that she will be laughed at and stared at.

Women generally wear black-colored skirts at home, the style of which is mostly pleated skirts. At that time, the number of skirt width is also very careful, the skirt width of the first six, that is, the so-called "skirt drag six Xiangjiang River water"; after the use of eight, there are a lot of fine pleats at the waist, the line is always like a water pattern.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the skirt decoration is increasingly elaborate, skirt width has increased to ten, the waist of the tucks are more and more dense, each pleat has a color, the breeze blowing, the color is like the moon, so it is called "moon skirt". Yuehua skirt is a colorful skirt, as if the moon generally moving, and elegant and bright, by the women's ` favor.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a customary rule that women could not wear red skirts. The Republic of China writer Bao Tianxiao in his "food, clothing, housing and transportation of the hundred years of change," said:

"Red dresses to couples can wear. If one is a widow, one is not allowed to wear a red dress, and one is never allowed to wear a red dress. If you should wear a dress, young women can change to wear a different color of the skirt, light blue and light green, with the good, but always feel unhappy in the heart;

The elderly are already children and grandchildren around the knee, can change to wear a yellow skirt, and until the death of the end, can not wear a red skirt; and between couples, but only the main room can wear a red skirt, aunts are not permitted to wear a red skirt, even if her son is a developed and do the big official, not allowed to wear is not allowed to wear. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a red dress and then you can wear it.

At that time, in order to whether the woman can wear a red dress, there are countless family disputes between the first concubine. Later, some progressive cultural people advocate women's liberation, women no longer wrapped feet, cheongsam also quickly popularized, women wearing skirts also have the freedom of choice.
