There are many men in black in the legend of Wu Meiniang. Why are they still so hot?

A face is different! Although the role of "Wu Zetian" is a "rotten street", according to statistics, there are more than 30 versions, but Fan Bingbing's beautiful photos in "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang" are constantly being screened on the screen, and the goddess version of "Wu Zetian" has become the hottest topic for a while. Recently, the legend of Wu Mei Niang, which is at the forefront, was temporarily suspended, and various parties talked about it, causing many speculations. The reason given by the official Youth Drama Club of Hunan Satellite TV is: technical reasons. However, some netizens broke the news that "Wu Meiniang" was stopped because the actress's "short-breasted and half-exposed skirt" was too fragrant, and the clothes from ladies-in-waiting to concubines were too big. There are even more rumors that the technicians of Hunan Satellite TV are PS-removing all the exposed chest shots in the play through technical means.

Then, is the luxurious and unrestrained "topless" Tang suit from the maid-in-waiting to the imperial concubine in the film the need to pursue aesthetic beauty and attract attention, or is the Tang suit really so open?

The most breakthrough costumes in the Tang Dynasty are "half-arm" dresses and "topless" dresses.

If we want to directly trace the dress of women in the Tang Dynasty, we can prove it from the dress of neighboring Japan. In the film Memoirs of a Geisha, Zhang Ziyi's memoirs of a Geisha show a kimono with a very Japanese style. Looking back at history, we can know that the Tang Dynasty flourished and was worshipped by Japan and other neighboring countries. They imitated many cultural etiquette costumes of the Tang Dynasty. Basically, kimono is a Japanese costume that has been localized and improved according to the costumes of the Tang Dynasty. In the movie, memoirs of a geisha are dressed in a gentle, delicate and beautiful kimono. Although she doesn't show her breasts topless, her neck is slender and dusty, and the beads she wears jingle. This can prove the exquisite luxury of Tang Dynasty costumes.

Besides, women in the Tang Dynasty were really good at dressing. They emphasize the different styles and combinations of clothes, including the small sleeve dress above and the wide-sleeved shirt below, as well as various skirts below. The most striking is the "half-arm" dress and the "topless" dress, which was the sexiest women's dress at that time.

Half-sleeve, popularly speaking, is an ancient short-sleeved shirt, also called half-sleeve, which was changed from the "half-sleeve" style in the Han and Wei Dynasties and was a breakthrough in clothing at that time. Its shape is double-breasted, the sleeves don't cover elbows, and the length is waist-length. If it is worn with a skirt, it is called a "half-sleeve skirt", which is often worn by women in the harem of Emperor Yang Guang Yang Di.

More breakthrough than half sleeves is the "topless" dress. This is a fashion with bold neckline reform, which has changed the traditional openings of round neck, square collar, oblique collar, straight collar and chicken heart collar, increased the opening scale, and cut it into a "naked collar" to expose nearly half of the breasts, making them full and half hidden. The movie "Golden Flower in the City" directed by Zhang Yimou was dubbed "Golden Milk in the City" by netizens when it was released. Is it inspired by this topless dress?

However, with the tolerance of the big environment and more open business exchanges at that time, the overall dress of women in the Tang Dynasty changed a lot. Women in the Tang Dynasty, especially royal and aristocratic women, often wore half-sleeve dresses and flat-chested dresses. In some precious historical documents or murals in the Tang Dynasty, many ancient people's travel costumes were recorded. From the paintings of ladies in the Tang Dynasty, we can see that the flat-chested clothes worn by women in the Tang Dynasty are very light and elegant, and the robes are wide and light, which greatly liberates the bondage of traditional costumes to women and makes them full of vitality, which is also in line with the aesthetic standard of "Fat is Beauty" in the Tang Dynasty. From the perspective of women's clothing in the whole Tang Dynasty, the basic trends are: from hidden to exposed (style), from simple to complex (pattern and decoration), from simple to luxurious (clothing style), from delicate to plump (figure and figure)

Nevertheless, personally, I think it's a bit of hype, a bit too much, and I hope I can help you.
