Cultural Characteristics And Collection Value Of Court Costumes In Qing Dynasty

Residence is the four major needs of people's livelihood; in other words, clothing is an indispensable life product for people, a shelter and a cold spell.

But loving beauty is the nature of people, so that they gradually increase their appearance and beauty.

However, after people form a settlement society, clothing adds an identification function.

In the book of Shang Dynasty, there is a record of the twelve chapters: "the desire to see the image of the ancients, the painting of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese worms; the embroidery of Zong, algae, fire, flour, rice, and embroidery."

That is to say, twelve patterns are painted on kings' garments, while lords are reduced to nine, seven and five chapters according to title.

Identification marks are not just patterns, but also clothing colors, that is, the color of clothes.

There is a cloud in the book of rites.

In ancient Chongxin, Yin Yang and five elements of the sun had "five sides positive color", that is: Eastern blue, southern red, western white.

Black, central yellow.

Since yellow represents the central government, yellow becomes the color of emperors respected by the Chinese.

The dress of the Qing Dynasty is not far away from us today. It is the general costume of the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history.

It has been popular in China for nearly 300 years, and until the beginning of twentieth Century, its charm still remained.

Therefore, many of the costumes of the Qing Dynasty are well preserved throughout the world. They are the treasures of China and the witness of the rise and fall of a dynasty in Chinese history.

In the costumes of the Qing Dynasty, the most typical and the most luxurious one was to promote the palace costumes of the Qing Dynasty.

The so-called court costumes, to be exact, refer to all kinds of gowns worn by emperors, concubines, princes, emperors, princes and princes.

According to the rule of the Qing Dynasty, these gowns were basically divided into four categories: the dress used for the grand ceremony; the gowns for the auspicious banquet; the clothes that were used to patrol when they went out; used in plain living.

。

These clothes, because of their unusual use, are not expensive but expensive. Therefore, they are very skillful in making and improving their materials. The selection of materials is also excellent.

As for the silk and embroidery, it is more and more perfect.

At that time, it was said that only one emperor's silk robe would spend 390 working days, and no more than 10000 gold.

Its production and management is the responsibility of the house of affairs, the whole process of division of labor is meticulous, orderly management, large staff.

There are 2602 full-time weaving personnel in the Dragon Robe.

According to the archives records of the Qing Dynasty palace, "the house of the Fu" and the "Office of the house of the interior", the emperor's imperial edict demanded that the official warships should have "uniform weft and longitude, long and long fitting, delicate patterns, bright colors" and unqualified quality.

The production of dragon robes without cost, with golden gold twists and feather feathers, is the golden dragon of embroidered dragon.

Therefore, although they are garments, they are also the highest representatives of embroidery techniques in Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, they can be said to be the boutique of the Qing Dynasty and the treasures of the world.

So, to some extent, collecting a Dragon Robe is equivalent to collecting the history of Qing Dynasty for 300 years.

Of course, today's market factors also help to turn their values.

First of all, the number of dragon robes is limited, and most of them are concentrated in the the Imperial Palace Museum.

Under such a limited number, the needs of collectors are getting bigger and bigger.

Secondly, the value of dragon robes is undervalued, and the revaluation space is huge.

Once again, the Dragon Robe can not be forged, and the counterfeit is easy to be seen through.

The manufacture of dragon robes is extremely cumbersome, and the cost materials are the best in those days. They are very strict in shape, production process, decorative pattern and color.

The literature is documented in detail and can be identified as false if there is a slight error.
