How Much Do You Know About The History Of Ancient Clothes?

Of all the animals on earth, only humans are dressed.

Why do people wear clothes?

Some people say that it is for the sake of body protection and for keeping out the cold. This is explained from the angle of function. Some people say it is for shame and politeness, which is explained from a moral point of view. Others say it is for good-looking and to attract the opposite sex, which is explained from an aesthetic point of view.

Clothes have also experienced an interesting history on people.

Xia, Shang, and Wednesday are basically the tops of their jackets, actually the skirts are actually skirts, not trousers.

In the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, a new garment was called "deep clothing".

People in Warring States, Qin and Han were dressed in deep clothing, whether they were high or low, men or women, or military and civil servants. The nobility wore a coronal dress as a dress and a deep dress as a uniform. Civilians dressed in deep garments as a gown and short brown as regular clothes.

During the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, there were two changes in the costumes. One was the breakthrough of the Chinese dress pattern, and the other was that Hu Fu was absorbed into the Han costumes.

Men's costumes are replaced by shirts.

Dress adornment is also advocated by women, some of them are lengthened and trimmed into triangles.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, after a long period of national integration, coupled with economic prosperity and social openness, the costumes also became increasingly rich and magnificent.

In the Song Dynasty, the single coat was called the shirt, and the cuffs of the shirt were not removed.

There are short shirts as underwear, and a wide sweater as a coat.

The hem with a horizontal Jersey is a man's suit.

In the Qing Dynasty, people were forced to wear Manchu clothing. In modern times, people took off the clothes of the Qing Dynasty and replaced them with modern clothes.

In 1923, when Mr. Sun Zhongshan was appointed Chief Marshal in Guangzhou, he felt that the suit was not only cumbersome, but also inconvenient to wear, and it did not suit the requirements of Chinese life and work at that time. However, the original Chinese clothing (breasted jacket, big shirt and so on) could not fully show the spirit of the Chinese people at the time, and also had the disadvantages of being similar to a suit. Therefore, it was advocated that a collar with a reverse collar instead of a suit shirt should be added to the collar on the collar, which was popular in the overseas Chinese of Southeast Asia.

In this way, a jacket will have the function of a suit, shirt and hard collar. The three dark bags of the business jacket will be changed to four clear bags. The next two bags can also be cut into the shape of the piano bag that can expand and shrink with the number of articles put into it.

Mr. Sun Zhongshan said that he needed to reform his pocket so that his pocket could be put into books, notebooks and other essentials for study and work, and the soft cover was added to his pocket, so the articles in the bag were not easy to lose.

The trousers designed by Mr. Sun Zhongshan are: the front seam, the dark button, the left and right big bags, the front pocket, the right rear hip, and a soft cover.

Such trousers are convenient to wear and are also suitable for carrying necessities.

When Mr. Sun Zhongshan put on his own design and the world's first set of Chinese tunic suits, he said, "this kind of clothing is good-looking, practical, convenient and economical. Unlike the western style clothes, it also needs to be stiff collar, except for shirts and shirts."

Because of the advantages of good-looking, practical and convenient, the Chinese tunic suit is popular among the masses, once advocated by Mr. Sun Zhongshan.
