First, the costumes of the Song Dynasty emperors.
The emperor's clothing in Song Dynasty includes autumn cotton, Zhou cotton, Tian Tongguan Fu, shoes, shirts and royal reading clothes.
This painting shows a gown in crimson tulle, a collar with knees covered and a square heart bent, as well as a picture of a crown of Tian Tong and a black ribbon. This kind of clothing is second only to coronation, and it is the clothing worn by the emperor at major ceremonies such as the big court meeting and the big book, which is equivalent to the official's court clothes.
Tian Tong Crown, also known as Cirrus Crown, is decorated with 24 beams, one foot high and one foot wide. When wearing, it is guided by the jade rhinoceros. The gauze robe is crimson, the lining is red, and the collar, sleeves, lapels and collars are all black. Under the veil and at the knee, it is also purple. The neck is drooping, the white heart is bent, and the waist is tied with a golden jade belt, white socks and a black ribbon, and another ribbon. The crown prince also wore this kind of costume at the ceremony, crowned with eighteen beams (name? Travel crown? ), slightly different from this.
In addition, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shantou became the main first suit for men in the Song Dynasty. From the emperor down to the officials, except for sacrificial ceremonies and big court meetings, they usually wear hoes, which is obviously different from the previous generation. The image of officials is mostly straight-footed, and musicians with lower servants, tolerance or status tend to cross their legs or bend their feet. Shirt, ochre, light yellow robe, jade red belt, soap boots, attend a grand banquet.
Second, the emperor of the Song Dynasty can hardly see the dragon robe in his clothes. What happened?
1, the emperor of the Song Dynasty surnamed Zhao, and his totem is a phoenix, not a dragon.
What is Zhao's totem made of? Xuanbird? Phoenix, the king of birds, evolved. When Zhao Fu, the ancestor of Zhao, was in Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng was nicknamed "Phoenix".
The ancestors of Zhao and Yin Shang were all Dongyi people who worshipped birds, and they evolved from bird worship to phoenix totem worship. Dragon totem and phoenix totem are two great totems of Chinese civilization, and dragon and phoenix are symbols of national unity, auspiciousness, harmony and happiness implied in traditional culture. Therefore, there are few dragon patterns in the costumes of the emperors in the Song Dynasty.
2, the five elements of fire virtue, the Song Dynasty is fire virtue, red symbolizes fire virtue, and according to the five elements theory, fire produces gold, and the symbol of gold in the five elements is white, so the clothes of the Song Dynasty emperor are mainly red and white, and the emperor usually wears red or white official robes. But red and white are not shy, from officials to ordinary people.
3. The Song Dynasty advocated simplicity, simplicity, naturalness and closeness to the people. Zhao Kuangyin once taught the princess to be thrifty and set an example for people. The imperial court even applied for clothes again and again? Simple, not extravagant? From the imperial court to the folk, clothes are mostly simple, elegant and light. We can also have a glimpse of Song Dynasty porcelain.
4. Song people advocate simplicity, reserve and tolerance, and pursue learning from nature and returning to nature. Minimalism aesthetics is popular.
5. Respect Buddha in Song Dynasty! Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are deeply integrated. In the Song Dynasty, Confucianism in the upper class was generally tolerant of Taoist and Buddhist ideas, and Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty also integrated many Taoist and Buddhist ideas. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism all advocate simplicity and nature.
