Fashionable Dress Of Women In The Tang Dynasty

Women's ornaments in Tang Dynasty (silk paintings unearthed in Turpan, Xinjiang).

Middle and late Tang dynasty women's eyebrow ornament hairstyle (Tang Zhoufang's "hairpin flower girl map").

The adornment of women's love is ancient.

When I read the ancient books, I found the ancient Chinese women.

The "Tang Dynasty" is the first to push the peak, and the representative of the Tang Dynasty is the first to push the royal family.

"Shang Yang" cloud: "small shoes shoes narrow clothes, indigo eyebrow eyebrows slender.

Outsiders should laugh when they are not seen.

The meaning of this poem is that some white haired maidservants spend more than 40 years in the cold palace, keeping the most fashionable dress when entering the palace, but do not know that they are completely outdated.

This not only shows that the Tang Dynasty already has the concept of fashion and the "time makeup", but also shows that women in the Tang Dynasty pursued fashion and kept pace with the times.

As for what is called "world makeup" and

To what extent does fashion go?

Almost all the records that have been handed down are sporadic.

But there is a passage in the old Tang book, which is very touching and inspiring to us: "custom is extravagant, it does not conform to the rules,"

From the palace to the bottom of the palace, it is to be imitated by the latter.

Looking at it carefully, it seems to contain men's complaints and dissatisfaction with women's disobedience and fashion.

In some of the Tang Dynasty female figurines murals that have been preserved so far, we can see that the makeup of women in the Tang Dynasty is indeed "bright, bold, luxurious and unconventional."

Of course, all the fashions in the Tang Dynasty started in Changan.

In the post Han Shu, the Changan proverb said: "the city is very high bun, and the four sides are one foot high.

The city is wide, with four sides and half.

The city is full of big sleeves and the four sides are full of silk.

Although the original intention is to satirize "what is good, the people must be very rare", but from the perspective of fashion, it also shows that Changan is not only the political and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty, but also the capital of fashion.

Generally speaking, the main trend of women's fashion in the Tang Dynasty is: in style, it is exposed by obscuring; in ornaments and patterns, it is simple and complex; in fashion style, it is simple and luxurious; in the aspect of body and body, it is graceful and plump.

Concretely speaking,

The pursuit of fashion is all-around. It has a good performance in "hair", "eyebrow", "lip", "chest" and "clothes".

Their hairstyles are fond of "high bun" and "falling horse bun"; there are two kinds of makeup for eyebrows, one is thin and long, one is wide and wide, but the others are very light, that is, the so-called "sweeping eyebrows"; lips like "black paste".

Bai Juyi's poem "time makeup" says: "black paste, lips and lips are like mud."

There are also records in the five books of the Tang Dynasty: "at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the strange make-up is popular, and it does not apply to Zhu Fen.

As for the disguised "chest", it can be said that in ancient Chinese society, no Dynasty dared to match the women in the Tang Dynasty.

The female figurines and murals in the Tang Dynasty are ironclad evidence. "They" ignore courtesy and law, and express their bold pursuit of human beauty in an unconventional way.

People all over the world know "

"Although this term is now collectively known as Chinese traditional clothing, it is sufficient to explain.

Of all kinds, brilliant and far-reaching influence.

According to the old Tang book, there are mainly three categories of women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty, namely the upper skirt, the skirt and the men's clothing.

The most famous part of "Tang skirt" is the stone skirt, while Hu clothing is an imported product of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past fifty years, there has been a lot of trouble. "

Some scholars believe that the rulers of the Tang Dynasty came from the Hu nationality and became militarism, which led to the popularity of Hu clothing.

As for the popularity of men's clothing in the Tang Dynasty, there are different opinions.

Some people say that the woman who liked to wear men's wear in the Tang Dynasty was the famous Princess Taiping.

It is said that once the princess of peace took part in Tang Gaozong's banquet, not only men's clothes, but also all the armed forces, so that Gao and Wu Zetian both laughed loudly, which led to the upsurge of women's menswear.

However, more researchers believe that in the Tang Dynasty, women's self-consciousness and women's participation in social activities were more open.

Obviously, this argument is more reliable.

Some people think that the "time makeup" of women in the Tang Dynasty and the bold pursuit of "fashion" have accumulated a certain amount of "cultural capital" for posterity, which includes physical form, cultural capital and objective form of cultural capital.

At the same time, I would prefer to believe that the bold pursuit of fashion in the Tang Dynasty reflected the position of women in the society and family at that time, and that the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to "equality between men and women" and "protection of women's rights".
