What is the name of the belt worn by women in ancient palaces?

Bi, the special name of China opera costume, is double-breasted robe.

Style: It is a common uniform for emperors, middle-level officials, rich gentry and their families at home.

Style: double-breasted, semi-upright collar, wide sleeves (with sleeves), slit under the left and right legs, full length for men, slightly shorter for women (just above the knee), embroidered with Ping Jin or wool all over.

Tracing back to the source: Bi originated from the dress of aristocratic women in Ming Dynasty-big sleeve curtain. Raccoons are originally narrow-sleeved, with a long collar inside and straight through the swing at the bottom. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the sleeve type gradually evolved into a big sleeve, and the collar type was also reduced from a long collar to a semi-long collar. The traditional Chinese opera costume Bi was formed by decoration and beautification on the basis of Xunzi in Ming Dynasty.

Features: Although the costume modeling of raccoon dog still belongs to the mainstream of China ancient traditional costume (wide robe and big sleeve style), it is obviously different from embroidered robe, which is a kind of costume that is "not strong and beautiful, but powerful". Compared with the python, it breaks through the "fully enclosed" clothing modeling, creates a relaxed feeling of opening and closing freely with "double-breasted", and gives people a smooth and slender aesthetic feeling with two downward vertical lines (from one knot to two streamers, which are also hung on the chest as a decoration). It is a kind of "loose" clothing, elegant and exquisite, which not only meets the needs of people's leisure occasions, but also does not lose luxury and is more conducive to performance. Another feature is that men's flower buds and women's flower buds are generally used for couples, and the colors and patterns are exactly the same, so they are called "opposite flower buds" and have the "neat beauty" of stage pictures. This standardization of flower buds for men and women clearly shows the unique artistic vocabulary of Beijing opera costumes.

Material: there are two kinds of satin and crepe satin (crepe satin is soft).

Pattern: the emperor uses the dragon, and the queen and imperial concubine use the wind. The queen mother used dragons and phoenixes. In addition, according to the age and identity of the characters, either group flowers, group birthday characters or branch flowers are used.

Color and color: Yellow is used for royalty, red is used for couples who graduated from top schools, wedding ceremonies and occasions of celebration and reunion, and Qiu Xiangse is used for the elderly. The colors used for other characters are not strictly defined.

Embroidery: yellow velvet embroidery, other colors of velvet or gold embroidery, or Ping Jin embroidery.
