Horse face skirt is the Bai Yueguang in the hearts of all Hanfu gay gowns. The first long skirt that many novices start with is probably the horse face skirt. Because the horse face skirt can not only be matched with Hanfu men, but also with the usual clothes and pants. Recently, Shi Shang also saw a robe with a horse face skirt and ol commuting style, and the actual effect was very good. Therefore, Shishang put the article content of Hanfu Men's Match on the agenda. So how did the name horse face skirt come from? What is the horse face skirt like?
Horseshoe skirt is also called "side pleated skirt". The sides of the long skirt are pleated, and the middle is "smooth". This "smooth surface" is called "horse face". Horse-faced skirts prevailed in the Ming Dynasty, and long skirts have been harmed by horse-faced skirts until today. In the Ming dynasty, the horse-faced skirt was mainly simple and atmospheric, and the pleats on both sides were more spacious; From fashion to Qing dynasty, Qing people attached great importance to the decorative design of "horse face", and the patterns were mainly trivial.
There are two opinions. The first one is the first impression of most people. "Is it because the long skirt is smooth and looks like the front face of a horse, so it is called a horse face skirt?" Congratulations, this statement is wrong. The name is horse skirt, but it has nothing to do with horses. Most people may not think of it.
To put it another way, colleagues who have studied engineering architecture should know something about the engineering architecture of the city gate. It has an obvious "Taicheng". You can call it "watchtower" or "temporary command center". In short, it is a structure for defense. This is the thing. It's called "Horse Face". The structure of horse face skirt is similar to this defensive structure, so it is called horse face skirt. There is some truth in this statement. If you look through books about China's clothing, you will find that all the "glossy surface" are called "horse faces".
