Clothing Culture Of Song Dynasty In China

In the Song Dynasty, the trend of populace was the main trend.

It is also plain and honest, reflecting the trend of the times.

There are three kinds of women's clothing in Song Dynasty: one is the "public service" used by the empress, the imperial concubine and the ladies at all levels.

Chinese traditional costumes are inherited from Tang Dynasty clothing, and women's clothing is still dominated by shirts, dresses, vests, skirts, robes, gowns and deep garments.

Most of them are straight neck collar, no belt and no buttons, and the outer necks of the neck are sewn with collar.

The garment is cut by sleeves.

Some are limited to the width of the fabric, so they are decorated with seams and welt on the back of the garment piece or part of the sleeve.

The single coat has a short style and long sleeveless style.

The clothes unearthed are trimmed or embroidered with decorative patterns on the side of the collar, sleeve side, big edge, waist and hem, decorated with flowers, such as peony, camellia, plum blossom and Lily.

In ancient times, women began to drag their feet in the Northern Song Dynasty. Before the Five Dynasties, Chinese women did not foot their feet.

Su Dongpo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, once dedicated to the word "Bodhisattva", and his feet were bound up.

"Tu Xiang Mo Xi Lian walks, long worry Luo socks Ling Bo to go; see dance return wind, no trace.

It is difficult to stand upright and stand on the same side.

It can also be called the first word of foot binding in Chinese poetry history.

It should be noted that the writing of foot binding poetry is dependent on the emergence of foot binding customs, which indicates that the foot binding custom has existed in the Song Dynasty.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, women had more feet binding, and even at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, "little feet" had become the general term for women.

However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, women's foot binding was still not popular. Foot binding was mainly confined to the upper class society.

At the same time, the custom of foot binding was spread from the north to the south, which was about the time when the south of Song Dynasty moved to the south.

The foot binding of the Song Dynasty is different from the three inch golden lotus of later generations.

According to historical records, the foot binding in the Song Dynasty was wrapped in "straight" but not curved.

The shoes used are called "wrong to the end", and their soles are sharp, synthesized by two colors.

At present, the object of shoe binding has been discovered in archaeology.

From the archaeological findings, it is speculated that the small feet wrapped in such shoes are larger than later ones.

Brothel culture is a special aspect of the Song Dynasty.

Although the women of the brothel house are suffering, there are no lack of talents.

It is known as "a bright moon in Qinhuai". Many women who live in the literary circles claim to live on the coast of the Yangtze River.

The clothing and clothing of the Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty, which is better and more natural.
