After the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty in Mongolia, China was in the process of being ruled by the Yuan Dynasty.

Technology and culture are all going backwards.

At the end of Yuan Dynasty, China's economy and society were in complete collapse and chaos.

In order to reshape the etiquette and national pride, after the reunification of the Ming Dynasty, they attached great importance to the rectification and restoration of the dress system. They quickly abandoned the Mongolian nationality's ethnic costume, picked up the Zhou Han and took the Tang and Song Dynasties, and restored the characteristics of the Han nationality clothing.

The dress and demure of the Ming Dynasty is dignified and magnificent. It is a model of costumes in ancient China. The styles of Chinese modern costumes are mostly painted from the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the dress and clothing of the Ming Dynasty became more luxurious and luxurious, and the weaving and embroidery techniques reached the peak.

Skirt

the Ming dynasty

In the Ming Dynasty, the dress styles of the upper skirts and the lower skirts were not different from those of the Tang and Song Dynasties, except that among young women, a short waist skirt was often used for activities, and some maid girls also liked this dress.

It is a long sleeved short coat.

The color of the skirt is initially light, though it has a decorative pattern, but it is not obvious.

In the early years of Chong Zhen, most of the skirts were plain white. Even the embroidery patterns were only placed in a one or two inch position under the skirt width, with a lace as the presser.

The skirt size is six at the beginning, the so-called "skirt drag six Xiang River water"; after the use of the eight, there are a lot of thin pleats in the waist, and actions are like water lines.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the decoration of the skirt was becoming more and more exquisite, and the skirt size increased to ten. The pleat of the waist became more and more dense. Each pleated had a color. The breeze was blowing and the color was like moonlight, so it was called "Yuehua skirt".

On the belt there is often a tapestring made of ribbons, which usually plays several loops in the middle, and then hangs down to the ground. Some are still wearing a piece of jade cloth in the middle to press the skirt to make it do not disperse and affect the appearance, which is similar to the Yuhuan ribbon of the Song Dynasty.
