The position of the bun developed from low to high, that is, the bun was mainly tied at the back or back of the head in the early and middle Western Han Dynasty, and there was almost no bun on the top of the head. In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, the bun on the top of the head began to appear, and then it became popular and prevailed in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Hair decoration from less to more, from simple to complex; Women's clothing developed from tight in the early Western Han Dynasty to fit in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, loose in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and developed into hypertrophy in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The overall style of women's clothing has changed from serious and formal to relaxed and lively.
With the continuous development of archaeological work in recent years, the publication of many new archaeological materials has provided a large number of rich and true physical materials for the study of costumes in the Han Dynasty. The archaeological data of costumes in Han Dynasty mainly include: pottery figurines, wooden figurines, murals, silk paintings, stone reliefs, brick reliefs, pottery and lacquerware, paintings on bronzes, clothing objects, etc. The study of women's clothing in Han Dynasty refers to hairstyles and clothing. Hairstyles have a sense of the times, and most of the archaeological materials of costumes involve the head. At the same time, ancient China attached great importance to the use of hairstyles and hair accessories at different levels and on different occasions, so hairstyles were listed separately for research. Clothing refers to the clothes worn by people's upper and lower bodies (excluding feet) in archaeological materials of clothing, which is the most important content in clothing research. In addition, the study of women's costumes in Han Dynasty is mainly based on the clear archaeological data of Han costumes in Central Plains, excluding the archaeological data of other ethnic costumes in Central Plains. Archaeological materials of costumes in frontier areas are not regarded as typical materials because they involve many ethnic blending factors.
According to the archaeological data unearthed, there are many styles of women's dresses in the Han Dynasty, but they can be roughly divided into two categories, namely, A-level upper and lower conjoined deep clothes and B-level upper and lower skirts separation. A-level upper and lower conjoined deep clothes can be divided into:
Type A long-bundle tunic, that is, the lower part of tunic is tightened at the knee, can be divided into two subtypes.
An Aa-shaped long bundle was wrapped in deep clothes, and the lower body was around the body for several weeks, mopping the floor.
A-Ab long bundle is wrapped in a deep coat, and the lower part is wrapped around the waist. There are two kinds of skirts.
The long I-beam is wrapped in a deep coat, the lower part is wrapped around the waist, and the lower part of the skirt sweeps the floor.
Type Ⅱ long bundle is wrapped in deep clothes, the lower part is wrapped around the waist, and the lower overskirt does not mop the floor and expose its feet.

Women's clothes in the Han Dynasty are long and deep clothes, with skirts under the tops and trousers under the tops. In the early Western Han Dynasty, the clothes were mostly long and deep clothes that mopped the floor or reached the feet, and the clothes were tight as a whole, that is, the deep clothes or skirts were stuffed in the knees of the lower body. Among them, there is a long bundle of deep clothes wrapped around the body for several weeks, that is, the skirt is very long and wrapped around the body for several weeks. This kind of deep clothes continued the characteristics of the deep clothes worn by Chu State during the Warring States Period, which still existed in the early Western Han Dynasty, but it was rare in the middle Western Han Dynasty, only wrapped for a week, and almost disappeared after the middle Western Han Dynasty. In addition, the handmaiden figurines found in the Han tombs of Yinque Mountain in Linyi, Shandong Province and Jinque Mountain in Linyi, Shandong Province are long and revealing deep clothes, and their backs have formed an arc to reveal the skirts inside. Women's clothing in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty continued the clothing style in the early Western Han Dynasty, and the clothes were still close-fitting, but not as tightly wrapped as in the early Western Han Dynasty. Compared with the previous period, the women's clothing in the late Western Han Dynasty has obviously changed, that is, the deep clothes are no longer tucked in the knees, and the overall feeling of the clothes is fit. Typical materials are the mural tomb of Buqianqiu in Luoyang and the mural tomb of Xi University of Technology. The image of a woman in the world. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, women's dresses were mainly long sleeves or long skirts, and the difference between the early and late periods was mainly the change of looseness. The overall development trend of women's wear in the Eastern Han Dynasty is that the clothes become wider and the sleeves become fatter. From Xin Mang to the early Eastern Han Dynasty, it continued the style of the late Western Han Dynasty. Clothes fit the waist, and a long skirt with a thin waist is the most important. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, women's clothes in all walks of life became very wide, no longer showing their waists, and most of them were wide sleeves, even the sleeves of working maids were very fat.
The grade difference of women's clothing in Han dynasty is not obvious in style, but mostly in the degree of gorgeous. For example, in Mawangdui's silk paintings, the dress styles of the hostess and the maid beside her are exactly the same, and only the dress of the hostess has exquisite embroidery and gorgeous patterns. In the silk painting of Tomb No.9 in Jinqueshan, Linyi, the clothes of the hostess and the maid are basically the same. The hostess of Feng Junru's tomb in Xin Mang period was basically the same as the maid around her. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the female guests in the hall and the maid behind the screen in Beauty Luo's tomb were also of this style.
