What is Hanbok like? What clothes do Koreans like to wear?

The traditional costume of the Korean nation is called Hanbok, the biggest feature of which is that it is worn obliquely, without buttons, and is tied with a long cloth belt. The clothes of men and women are very different. Men wear pants and women wear skirts. Men's wear is characterized by wide crotch and trouser legs, which are tied with cloth belts to facilitate sitting cross-legged; The woman is a long skirt with short sleeves, the length of the coat is just enough to cover * * *, and the long skirt is as long as the heel. Due to the plane cutting method, the Korean national costumes are simple and bright in straight lines and elegant and changeable in curves, which perfectly embodies the beauty of straight lines and curves.

At the same time, the color matching of Korean clothing follows the principle of "Yin-Yang and Five Elements", and different styles are interpreted by the color and material of clothing, so that the color matching and approximate color matching complement each other. But in general, bright colors are used for tops and dark colors for bottoms are the most classic. The traditional costumes of the Korean nation mostly follow the folk costumes of the Korean era, which are gradually formed and fixed by the continuous evolution and development of the Korean nation in the long-term production and life, and retain the remarkable characteristics of the Korean folk costumes. In addition, the society, culture and folk customs of ancient Korea were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, so they borrowed a lot from the costumes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Central Plains.

The Korean nation also has a name called "the nation in white". People pay great attention to clothing and appearance, and clothing is the embodiment of cultural literacy. According to Historical Records of Sui Shu (Volume 81), "Silla's clothing is slightly the same as that of North Korea and Baekje in the Three Kingdoms, and the clothing color is still plain". According to "Xuanhe Guojing" (Volume 19), Han is "the first of agricultural businesses, with rich farmers and poor businesses, far and near businesses, and white clothes." Koreans like to wear white clothes for many reasons: First, since ancient times, Koreans have been "leading an honest and clean life", and white symbolizes purity and cleanliness, which is a common saying; The second is to advocate the statement of the sun god; The third is the clothing system formulated by the Korean nation during the Three Kingdoms period, Korea period and Korea period, which prohibited ordinary people from wearing colorful clothes.

Korean people like white clothes as well as rainbow-colored hanbok. The symbolic red, yellow and blue "Three Tai Chi" pattern of the Korean people also shows the Korean people's love for color.
