Evolution of China's Clothing Culture
The origin of ancient costumes is out of practicality. Primitive humans covered their bodies with animal skins and leaves and wore animal fur to keep warm. In the late Stone Age, human beings gradually invented bone cones and bone needles, thus creating primitive clothing.

Since the pre-Qin period, the costume system in ancient China began to be established, which had a far-reaching impact on later historical dynasties. The costume of Huaxia nationality is characterized by a skirt under the coat, and there is a wide belt under the coat, which means "the coat is the next coat". The next coat is actually a skirt, not pants.

Women in the Qin and Han Dynasties focused on deep clothes, but the number of layers wrapped in skirts increased and the width of hem increased. Wear this kind of deep clothes, the waist should be tightly wrapped and tied with a belt. Since ancient times, Hanfu has been praised for its dresses, coats and wide sleeves. When westerners use breastplates and skirts to restrain women's physical development, generous Hanfu has realized the characteristic of letting the body stretch at will.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, women's wear generally inherited the old system of Qin and Han dynasties, mainly consisting of clothes, shirts and skirts, as well as large sleeve shirts, which were popular in tops (cardigans). Generally speaking, skirts are high waist, short coat, narrow sleeves and long skirts.

First, the Eastern Han Dynasty pursued the wind of prosperity and extravagance, and I hung a ribbon next to it, which is the word "fancy flying".

Women's dresses have long skirts, big sleeves and layered ribbons, showing an elegant and elegant style.

Most styles are frugal on the top and rich on the bottom, with tight body and big cuffs. The skirt is a multi-fold skirt, with a long mop and a loose hem to achieve a handsome and chic effect. Coupled with rich jewelry, it embodies luxury and beauty.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, China was divided and combined, with ups and downs of war and prosperity of economic civilization. The development of clothing, whether in materials or styles, presents unprecedented brilliance.

During the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, women's shorts were all small sleeve, wearing tight-fitting long skirts and high waists, generally above the waist, and some even tied ribbons under their armpits, giving people a pretty and slender feeling. The skirts in the middle Tang Dynasty are wider than those in the early Tang Dynasty, and nothing else has changed much.

In the Song Dynasty, women's wear a short jacket with narrow sleeves on the top and a long skirt on the bottom. Usually, they wear a jacket with long sleeves and buttons. Button-type is a kind of long-sleeved garment with split armpits, that is, the side seams of the front and rear pieces of the garment are not stitched, much like the current vest. The neckline and button collar are embroidered with beautiful lace.

The Yuan Dynasty was ruled by Mongols, so the costumes of the Yuan Dynasty were also quite special. Mongolians often braid a small lock of hair on their foreheads, like peaches. Others braid it into two braids, and then wrap it into two big rings to hang behind their ears, wearing Dai Li hats on their heads. The clothes of people in the Yuan Dynasty were mainly "drying clothes", which were short robes, tight and narrow, with many pleats at the waist. This kind of clothes is very convenient to get on and off the horse.

Noble women in the Yuan Dynasty often wore a tall, long and strange hat, which was called the "crown". The robes they wear are wide and long, which makes it inconvenient to walk. They often need two maids to help them pull the corners of their robes behind them. Most ordinary women wear black robes.
