Women's Clothing In Tang Dynasty Is More Exquisite Than Modern People: A Dress For Several Years.

Fan Bingbing Edition Legend of Wu Mei Niang "In Hunan satellite TV is hot, many costumes of court ladies in Tang Dynasty have attracted the attention and comment of many viewers. What is the Royal dress of Tang Dynasty? What is the difference between the real Tang costume and the TV play? Although it is impossible for journalists to return to the Tang Dynasty with all of us, we can ask the experts to explain one or two to them.

From the dignitaries to ordinary people, they are very particular about dressing up.

Li Hong, deputy director and researcher of Henan Museum Clothes & Accessories Very much research, and she also saw "Wu Mei Niang legend" this hit big play. "Very beautiful, very fashionable, you see, the play. Fashion Stylist It's hard work. " Yesterday Dahe newspaper reporter interviewed Li Hong on this issue, she commented. Li Hong told reporters that according to the existing historical data, it is an indisputable fact that the styles of men's and women's clothing are complex and colorful in the Tang Dynasty. "Especially the women's clothing at that time fully demonstrated the atmosphere, self-confidence, elegance and free spirit of women in China." Compared with the modern people, when the dignitaries went down to the ordinary people, they were very particular about dressing up. "More exquisite than modern people, a piece of clothing for several years is a regular thing."

Li Hong introduced: "skirts, blouses, dresses, this is the three element of Tang Dynasty ladies' dress, no matter the status is inferior, the family is rich and poor, this basic 3 are essential." In the Tang Dynasty, Niu Seng Ru's "mysterious records" recorded the dress of a civilian woman: "children holding boxes, there are green skirts, white shirts, green children". In addition, there is "the old man in the fairy tale Xu Xu," said that when he was in the Tang Dynasty, he was a wife of "Cao Luo Yin mud skirt", "five halo silver mud shirts", "monofilament red earth silver mud" and "Yi Yi Du's rich clothes".

　 Shirt

"Shirt" is a long sleeved jacket worn by women in the Tang Dynasty, with a narrow sleeves and short body. In the literature of the Tang Dynasty, every mention of everyday women's clothing is often called "shirt" and "shirt", such as "Lotus skirt, willow flower skirt", "red shirt narrow wrapped small arm", "fragrant shirt narrow sleeve cutting" and so on. Shirts generally refer to unlined clothes, but in winter, they are converted to "sandwich shirts".

Li Hong said that the styles of "shirts" were different with the different trends of the times. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were "narrow sleeves and small arms" in the poetry. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, a western style wind gradually became popular, and the width of the shirt was four feet. It was often worn by court ladies to attend the important public etiquette activities. Fan Bingbing's dress was also reflected in this drama.

The collar pattern of the shirt is also very complicated. According to the artifacts of the Tang Dynasty pottery figurine and frescoes unearthed, there are many forms such as straight collar collar, cross collar, round neck lapel, round neck lapel, and so on. The exposure range is also very different, but it will not be like a TV play.

A kind of

This will give play to the role of "Qi". It is usually made of light gauze and Luo, equivalent to a modern shawl or scarf. It is about two meters long. At that time, women often swirled around the arms and neck, half concealed and half exposed, showing a subtle beauty.

skirt

Then there is "skirt". The women in the Tang Dynasty were wearing "shirts" and the lower body wore "skirts". Short skirt long skirt, waist waist is very high, above the waist, even under the armpit, it looks like a long skirt, and the style is somewhat like Hanfu in Korean dramas.

Dress etiquette

In the TV drama "Daming Palace", Xun Zhou played Taiping Princess dressed in a feather sewn cloak to show Wu Zetian, but this is just the imagination of modern people. At that time, people dressed very much on occasions and etiquette. The princesses of Taiping, who had always been "proud and charming", were unlikely to wear a "dress" worn by dancers. Similarly, when Wu Mei Niang plays polo, she will wear a narrow sleeved "Hu suit" suitable for sports, which is equivalent to the present sportswear. It is impossible to wear "Guang Jiao" and "yarn", otherwise it will be too "two".

Don't laugh at your clothes.

What's more, people at that time attached great importance to dressing, and would be laughed at if they dressed poorly. Bai Juyi described in the Shang Yang white haired man a lonely maid who had been left alone after the entrance to the palace. When she first entered the palace, she had a face like a lotus breast and jade. Later, "the beauty of her face was getting old and white." but because she had not been in touch with the outside world for a long time, she didn't understand the trend of fashion and wore her clothes when she was young: "small head and narrow clothes." don't you know that over the past decade, this body has already been "out". No wonder the poet will say: "outsiders should not laugh, but the last days of Tianbao will be made up."

Hairstyles and makeup are also very particular.

Li Hong said that women in the Tang Dynasty not only dressed well, but also had hairstyles and makeup, and encouraged "innovation". There are dozens of parrot bun, flower bun, Japanese pendant bun, horse falling bun and so on. Women's make-up is simple and indispensable. The poetry of "Chun Yin Pu Cui Dian", "eyebrow jade deep in the sky" and "goose yellow cut out small flower bed" are all descriptions of women in Tang Dynasty. In addition, the textile dyeing technology of the Tang Dynasty has been very developed. Most women love colorful skirts. Three thousand of the Queen's beauty, the skirt is red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue and purple, with a bun on the head, a tinkling of hair ornaments, and a face make-up with "heavy makeup and light touch". The scene is really dazzling.
