Why Women'S Clothes In The Tang Dynasty Are So New?

When I read the ancient books, I found that the adornment of ancient Chinese women was the first to be promoted in the Tang Dynasty.

Bai Juyi's "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the cold palace, keeping the most fashionable dress when entering the palace, but do not know that they are completely outdated.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 a very clear concept of fashion and "time makeup", but also tells us that women in the Tang Dynasty pursued fashion and insisted on keeping pace with the times.

As for what is called "world makeup" and the extent to which women pursued fashion in the Tang Dynasty?

There is a passage in the old Tang book, which is still very encouraging now: "the 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.

This is simply a man's complaints and dissatisfaction with women's disobedience and fashion.

So far, some of the Tang Dynasty female frescoes with relatively complete preservation have also criticized the men's "confession": the makeup of women in the Tang Dynasty is indeed rich, 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.

On the whole, the main trend of women's fashion in the Tang Dynasty is: from obscuring to exposing (style), from simple to complex (decorative patterns, adornments), from simple and luxurious (fashion style), from delicate and beautiful to full (body and shape).

Specifically, women in the Tang Dynasty pursued fashion in an all-round way. They had good performances in "hair", "eyebrow", "lip", "chest" and "clothes".

Their hairstyles are combed with "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 other is very light, that is, the so-called "wipe away the eyebrows", and the lips like the 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 Yuan Dynasty, strange make-up is popular, and no powder is used, only in the Tang dynasty women's" time makeup ".

As for the "chest", we can say that no Dynasty in ancient China dared to match the women in the Tang Dynasty.

The female figurines and murals in the Tang Dynasty are the ironclad evidence in this regard. "They" ignore courtesy, oppose tradition, and express their bold pursuit of human beauty. On clothing, the Tang Dynasty is even less important. The "Tang suit" known to all of the earth is a general term for Chinese traditional clothing, but it is enough to show that the costume of Tang Dynasty is full of variety and dazzling.

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 Taiping took part in Tang Gaozong's banquet, not only men's clothes but also all the armed forces made Gao Zonghe Wu Zetian laugh all the time, which led to the upsurge of women's menswear.

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

Women's bold pursuit of fashion in the Tang Dynasty reflected the status of women in the society and family at that time. It also showed that the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to "equality between men and women" and "protection of women's rights".
