What are the characteristics of Manchu costumes?

The characteristics of Manchu costumes are as follows:

In Manchu costumes, men wear horseshoe sleeves with a belt around their waist, or robes with double-breasted mandarin jackets, while women wear ankle-length flag skirts or vests. Manchu is mainly distributed in three northeastern provinces of China, with Liaoning being the largest. In addition, there are a few Manchu scattered in Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Shandong, Xinjiang and other provinces and large and medium-sized cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, Lanzhou, Fuzhou, Baiyin and Xi 'an.

In the Qing Dynasty, Manchu people were basically included in the Eight Banners, so they were called standard bearers. Therefore, this kind of clothing suitable for Manchu men, women and children in all seasons is called flag dress. There are two styles for men and women. In the early Qing Dynasty, the men's flag dress was a round neck, a big waist and arrow sleeves (horseshoe sleeves), which were split on all sides, with buttons and belts in the middle of the waist. The four sides are slit, so you can ride and shoot freely, and the sleeves are convenient for archery, which can protect the back of your hand from the cold.

The correlation is as follows

Manchu women's cheongsam has developed a lot and likes to be made of satin. In Beijing and other places, the practice of "eighteen inlays" is popular, that is, eighteen hems look good and the style has become a wide robe and big sleeves, which is a fashion in the Qing Dynasty. After the Revolution of 1911, the style of cheongsam changed from fat to thin, and it was divided into long sleeves and short sleeves.

After continuous improvement, the general style is: straight collar, narrow sleeves, big chest on the right, buckle and trip, waist-tied, knee-length, split on both sides.

After Nuerhachi unified the Jurchen tribes, established the post-Jin regime, and implemented the Eight Banners system, Manchu people were all flag bearers, so the robes they wore were called "flag clothes" and "flag clothes".
