Kazak traditional clothing

Wang Guangzhou, a Kazakh clothing factory, analyzes the characteristics of Kazakh clothing. 1. Characteristics and cultural psychology of Kazak costumes. Since ancient times, cattle and sheep have formed an indissoluble bond with Kazakhs' food, clothing, housing and transportation. Sheepskin robe, fox fur hat, felt drum, leather boots, etc. It has become an important symbol of grassland clothing. What is further than sewing animal skins with bone needles is the innovation and creation of clothing fabrics, which can be designed according to human characteristics. Shirts with collars, lapels, sleeves and trousers with front and rear crotch have appeared, and their modeling and sewing techniques are more flexible and diverse, reflecting the continuous progress of human clothing development. Most of Kazak ancestors lived in northern Xinjiang and Central Asia, and always maintained a lifestyle dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry. With cattle and sheep as companions, they merged foreign cultures in their long-term life and labor, and gradually formed their own unique artistic taste and aesthetic standards. Colorful black and white and lingering decorative patterns have become the main aesthetic characteristics of Kazakh costumes. This unique costume art is the carrier of Kazak's long history and culture, which can reflect the aesthetic cultural psychology and national emotional accumulation of Kazak people. The basic patterns of Kazak costumes are mostly single or square continuous plant patterns, triangles, geometric shapes or continuous patterns, and the complementarity and harmony of patterns can be found between squares and circles. Among a large number of archaeological discoveries in Xicheng, triangular pattern is the most common motif. Most Kazakh herders live in plateau and mountainous areas, with distinct seasons, strong light and bright colors, which are the favorite colors of Kazakhs. Living in the cool environment of Gobi desert in grassland, they choose red to decorate their yurts and costumes, which can resist the cold outside and adjust the monotonous environment of color psychology. The inheritance and geographical environment of the past dynasties have become the main factors affecting the color and aesthetic psychology of Kazak costumes. On the theme of the pattern, it takes the traditional plants, fruits and horns as the prototype and mutates into various geometric shapes, which has a strong national meaning. In the development of Kazak costumes, we can feel that costumes are closely related to totem worship and witchcraft etiquette. Both symbolic mimicry and witchcraft activities are inseparable from fiery songs and dances, and these songs and dances must be able to touch people's hearts and arouse the devout worship of believers. Therefore, the costumes of people who perform totem worship or witchcraft ceremonies are often the most typical parts of tribal and national costumes, and with the passage of time, the consciousness of totem worship and symbolic objects are gradually transformed into specific patterns and preserved in costumes. For example, the owl symbolizes pink justice, and people can put its feathers on their heads to ward off evil spirits and keep one side safe. The feathers of English owls inserted at the top of Chinese Kazak children's takya crown represent that they will stay away from disease and Italy forever. Due to different totem worship, the same nation or branch will have corresponding performances in clothing. Historically, influenced by shamanism, the Yugur Kazak people regarded the white swan as one of their important totems. The white swan is the embodiment of God and soul. Kazakhs regard the white swan as a divine bird, which is doubly protected. If they can get a few feathers, it will be even more precious. Kazakhs living in Central Asia still call fire "the goddess of fire", and their clothes are decorated with red to symbolize this kind of nature worship and totem worship. 2. The characteristics of costumes of Kazakhs in different countries and regions As an important carrier of national culture, costumes are a window to show national culture. Through the splendid and rich national costumes, we can find the unique cultural psychology and costume characteristics formed by Kazak people gradually adapting to different living environments during the long historical changes. The costume art of Kazaks in Central Asia is difficult to find the shadow of the influence of traditional religion, and more embodies the pursuit of beauty. After Russia entered Central Asia at the end of the century, its industrial civilization began to spread in Kazakh residential areas, and the textile industry developed. Traditional coarse wool products can be replaced by producing fine cotton and linen products. At the same time, artistic tastes and concepts have gradually changed. In the decoration of Kazak clothing, modern techniques such as color matching and printing have gradually replaced the traditional folk homemade materials and pattern combinations, preferring Russian national style, with rich patterns and pure colors, forming an extremely noble and elegant style.

Kazak customs introduction group), likes to eat mutton. There are rich folk creations, such as legendary stories, lyric poems and satire. Most Kazak costumes are made of animal fur. Women wear long-flowered dresses in summer and like to decorate them with silver dollars or silver products. The winter coat is a double-breasted coat, and the coat is mostly sewn with winter sheepskin. Women wear a white cloth hijab and a white cloth headscarf, which is heel-length, and the left upper end of the headscarf is decorated with ornaments. The young woman is wearing a round hat and the roof is crowned with owl feathers. In winter, men wear sheepskin, fox skin, wolf skin and camel hair wadding coats, with a belt around their waist, a sword on the right side and cowhide sewn into their trousers, which is called "Summer Ba". Both men and women wear long leather boots because they often ride horses. Kazakhs are traditional nomadic people, and eventually,

What do you mean by the value of Kazak traditional patterns? Kazakhs use their long-term accumulated life experience to give full play to their ability to recognize and create formal beauty. From simple to complex, from rough to fine, from imitation to creation, they have gradually formed unique pattern art. These patterns reflect people's spiritual life with their original artistic characteristics, and use abstract methods to pattern and formalize objects in nature. Among them, the basic decorative shapes are vortex pattern, pattern, straight line pattern and geometric pattern (triangle, square and diamond).

The life of Kazak ancestors has great mobility and instability, which is reflected in the pattern of the pursuit and performance of a sense of movement. The use of a large number of curves not only reflects the Kazakh ancestors' observation and understanding of nature and their endless expression of nature, but also shows their spiritual pursuit of fluidity and freedom as a form of plant patterns.

Kazakh patterns are generally symmetrical. After the artist matures in his mind, he directly paints (embroiders) a quarter or half of the pattern, and then draws symmetrically at the pattern until a complete pattern product is made. There are many kinds and forms of Kazakh patterns, from mountain grasslands to natural phenomena, from birds and animals to various flowers, from geometric patterns to symbols. Kazak artists inherit the totem patterns of abstraction and concreteness, natural forms and processing changes, form a perfect work of art closely and compactly, and constantly innovate, becoming the symbol of Kazak nationality. The patterns selected and designed on different articles are different. For example, plant patterns are drawn on carpets, geometric shapes, sun and moon shapes and simple flowers are drawn on wooden utensils, but continuous flower patterns or continuous triangular patterns are drawn on the eaves or door heads of houses, and regular geometric patterns are drawn on wooden boxes or cabinets. Kazak pattern art is the most abundant and changeable in clothing, with special decorative patterns on tops or skirts, collars, cuffs and front. Although there are different patterns, their formal characteristics are mainly symmetry and repetition.

Kazakh dwellings

In order to facilitate nomadism, Kazakhs have long created houses that are easy to move-felt houses. Its main components are wool-woven felt, red willow fence, strut, round roll top and wool-woven grass curtain. These components can be made of local materials. Dismantling or installing the felt house can be completed in a short time, and it can be carried by camels or cows when moving.

Mongolian yurts are Kazakh folk buildings. In spring, summer and autumn, Kazakh herders live in Yu, a detachable and transportable circular felt house. In winter, flat-topped adobe houses are built in winter pastures (commonly known as "winter nests"). Generally, felt houses are made of local materials, with a circular grid made of red willow and a vertical frame formed on the roof, and then a fence made of Achnatherum splendens is covered on the periphery of the wooden grid, and then a felt is covered. There is a skylight at the top, which is covered with movable felt for ventilation. Some roof mats are decorated with red or other colors. Felt houses usually face east.

Kazakh etiquette

Kazak is a warm, hospitable and etiquette-oriented people. When people meet, they always exchange greetings such as "family safety" and "livestock safety". This is closely related to their nomadic economic life. Kazakh herders who constantly migrate from one place to another according to the season and grassland conditions, whether they know each other or not, will warmly entertain guests who come to visit and stay. Herdsmen believe that it is a shame to let guests go when the sun goes down, and they will be laughed at by relatives and neighbors for not being considerate. The host has his own way of entertaining guests. Usually when guests come, they will kill the lamb. The supreme guest is going to slaughter a pony at the scene. Before slaughtering the sheep, the owner should lead the sheep to the guests to satisfy them. When eating, give the sheep's head to the guests first. When a guest receives a sheep's head, he should first cut a piece of cheek meat for the oldest elder of the host family with a knife, and then cut a piece of sheep's ear for the youngest child or housewife. Then, cut off a piece of meat and eat it yourself, and then give it to its owner. At this time, the host and guests sat together, eating large pieces of meat on the plate and drinking the master's special koumiss. Koumiss is a unique wine with rich nutrition. The taste is mellow, which can not only quench thirst, but also satisfy hunger, and can also cure chronic diseases such as small intestine and stomach diseases. Vitamin content is several times more than milk, which is the guarantee for grassland herders to keep out the cold ...

I want to know about the customs of Kazak people. 5. Housing: In ancient times, most Kazakh people lived a nomadic life. Herdsmen live in a kind of felt house that is very light and easy to support and dismantle. The felt house, called "Yu" in Kazakh, is not only convenient to carry, but also durable and comfortable to live in, with the characteristics of cold, rain and earthquake prevention. The room is well ventilated and full of light, which has been deeply loved by Kazakh herders for thousands of years. Because it is made of white felt and the felt room is well decorated, people call it the White Palace. It is an important creation of Kazakh ancestors.

The felt used in the yurt is handmade by hardworking and intelligent Kazakh women. When making felt, firstly, knock the wool loose with a wooden stick, sprinkle it with water, spread it on a flat ground for compaction, and then roll it repeatedly by many people. The main components of the felt house are carefully made by special craftsmen. The whole frame does not need an iron nail, and all joints are fixed with cowhide ropes and beef tendons, which is both light and firm.

Dietary customs: Their diet is mostly meat and milk. There are many kinds of dairy products, such as ghee, milk, milk skin, cheese and so on. The horse they made is an expensive drink. The daily food is mainly pasta, beef, [sheep, horse meat, cream, ghee, milk bumps, milk tofu, fermented milk and so on. Usually, I like to make flour into "Bao 'ershak" (oil fruit), scones, oil cakes, noodles, noodle soup, Na Ren and so on. Or make meat, ghee, milk, rice and flour into various foods. Drinks mainly include milk, goat's milk and horse's milk, especially horse's milk, which is a high-grade beverage made from horse's milk by fermentation. Tea has a special position in Kazak diet, mainly drinking brick tea. If milk is added to tea, it is called milk tea. Typical foods mostly come from animal husbandry production, such as winter meat, horse meat, milk bumps and so on.

Festivals: The main Kazak festivals are Eid al-Adha, ji zi and Nawu Day. The time is in the first month of the lunar calendar, and every household will cook "Kuji" (porridge) with meat, rice, wheat, barley and milk bumps in Nawurezi. It is a traditional custom of Kazak people to throw "Balshak" and sugar to welcome happy events. On the festival day, we congratulate each other, just as the Spring Festival of the Han nationality is a festival to send the old and welcome the new. Traditional games such as Diao Yang, horse racing and chasing girls are held at every festival. Most Kazakhs believe in * * * religion, and some herders still retain the remnants of Shamanism.

Custom: Kazakhs respect the elderly. When drinking tea and eating, we should respect the elderly first. Generally, when eating, it is customary for elders to sit first, while others bend their legs around the tablecloth or kneel on the felt in turn. In the process of eating, we should give the best meat to the elderly. Kazakhs have many taboos, such as: young people are not allowed to drink in front of the elderly, and they are not allowed to touch food with their hands; Don't step on or step on the tablecloth, and don't sit on boxes or other utensils with food. Taboo to count the livestock of the host family face to face; You can't cross the rope that binds livestock, nor can you ride into the sheep; Don't sit on boxes or other utensils containing food, and don't step over or step on napkins; Taboo others praise their children in person, especially don't say "fat", thinking that this will bring misfortune to children; Avoid dismounting at home and ride a fast horse at home; Do not eat pork, dog meat, donkey meat, mule meat, dead livestock and poultry meat and animal blood. Kazakhs are hospitable and sincere. For those who come to live at home, the host should serve the best food. When very distinguished guests or relatives who haven't seen each other for years arrive, in addition to slaughtering sheep, horses should also be slaughtered and served with horse meat. Before dinner, the host uses a pot to carry water, a washbasin to let the guests wash their hands, and then puts a plate of sheep's head, hind legs and ribs in front of the guests. The guests must first cut off a piece of sheep's cheek, then cut off the left ear, and then return the sheep's head to the host for dinner. After eating, everyone raised their hands and touched their faces at the same time and made "Bata". If there are men and women among the guests, they usually share seats.

Hospitality: Kazakhs are famous for their simplicity, honesty, frankness and hospitality. This is because pastoral areas are sparsely populated, scattered and inconvenient to travel. When going out, wherever there is a felt house, it will naturally become a place to rest and stay, and pedestrians will be free from hunger and cold. It can be seen that hospitality is a virtue formed in long-term nomadic life. There is a Kazakh legend in the middle reaches: "As long as there are Kazakhs along the way, even if you walk for a year, you don't have to bring a grain or a penny." Kazakhs are respectful to their guests. They think that the guests are given by * * *, and they should not be slightly neglected. Because of this good habit, there have been no beggars among Kazakhs.

There is an old Kazakh proverb, "Let the guests go at sunset, even if you jump into the water, you can't wash away the shame". And the people ... >>
