Does this dress slant to the left or to the right?

In China's traditional Hanfu, the way of wearing two skirts has always been that the left skirt overlaps the right skirt, and because the skirt opens to the right, it is called the "right skirt". The origin of this way of dressing is to facilitate right-handed people to reach into their arms and take their belongings. However, after the establishment of orthodoxy, in the concept of "courtesy becomes service" in China culture, "You You" has become a basic symbol of "civilization". The opening direction of ancient clothes is the right axillary lacing of the left front cover and the inside of the right front cover, which is called the right crotch. When the left skirt and the right skirt cross the chest in Hanfu, the neckline naturally crosses, so it is vividly called "cross collar"; The intersection of two straight lines on the left and right sides of the center line of clothing represents the symmetry of traditional culture, shows a unique charm of righteousness and represents impartiality in life. If Hanfu represents the unity of heaven and man, then the intersection represents the earth at the circle and represents human nature, that is, square and righteousness. The most typical collar type of Hanfu is "cross-neck right slit", that is, the collar is directly connected with the skirt, the skirt crosses on the chest, and the left skirt presses the right skirt, showing a Y-shape.
