The Legend of Zhong Er has been broadcast, and we have high expectations for it, but there are too many bugs in this drama, so we can't complain. Germans ride horses with saddles and stirrups, Jin envoys ride horses without cars, and courtiers don't take off their shoes when they go to the temple ... Although they didn't watch an episode on the whole, they found many problems.
As for the rainbow-like colors in the play, many people vomit at a low speed and are ugly. As far as our current aesthetics are concerned, it's not very beautiful and a bit dazzling. However, it should only be said that the people in charge of costume modeling in the crew have an average aesthetic level, and there are not many aesthetic considerations from modern people. Although it is a costume drama, the TV series is for modern people, and the aesthetic needs to be improved.
But,
If you question whether the clothes in the pre-Qin period were so bright?
That is wrong.
The clothes in the pre-Qin period were really bright. Don't think that people didn't have bright and gorgeous clothes to wear because of the low technical level at that time. Those dusty coarse cloths and gowns are all worn by inferior people. Real aristocrats definitely wear colorful silk brocade, which is not only colorful, but also rich in fabric varieties and gorgeous patterns.
At that time, clothes were dyed with natural dyes, but the working life in our country has been full of wisdom since ancient times. How can I just dye it?
Understand the color and dyeing process of clothing in pre-Qin period!
Red, yellow, blue, purple, green, black ... all kinds of colors, people had it very early in the pre-Qin period, and it can be divided into mineral dyeing or plant dyeing, dark or light, smear dyeing or dip dyeing, raw materials can be dyed directly or need media.
For example:
Red can be dyed with ochre in minerals, cinnabar or madder in plants. In "Examination of Gong Ji in Dongguan, Zhou Li", "Zhu died in March, blazing and pure." Among them, Zhu refers to vermilion. Madder is the oldest red plant dye in China, which can be dyed in many different reds.
Yellow can be dyed with mineral stone yellow or gardenia. Yellowstone can be divided into orpiment and realgar, which can be dyed into red light yellow and translucent orange yellow respectively. Gardenia was the most widely used yellow dye in the pre-Qin period. As one of the three primary colors, yellow can also be used to dye other colors.
Blue can be dyed with mineral azurite, or with bluegrass, Polygonum cuspidatum, Isatis indigotica, Indigofera, Malaya and other plants, and the dyed color is absolutely rich and beautiful. There is a poem in the Book of Songs, "It's no good to pick green at the end." The Book of Rites and the Moon Order even stipulates the blue dyeing season: "Midsummer moon makes people dye blue."
Purple can be dyed bright purple with Arnebia euchroma, alum and Toona ash as media. Before Jin Wengong dominated, when Qi Huangong dominated in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong liked to wear purple clothes. "Everything is done by Han Feizi" wrote: "Qi Huangong loves purple, and a country loves purple. At that time, the five elements cannot be purple. "
Green, can be dyed green with mineral pigment porphyrin, can also be dyed bright green with green bristlegrass and flavonoid medium. The Book of Songs Xiaoya says, "It will be green in the end and unprofitable."
Black, can be dyed black by adding iron salt to the fruits of Quercus plants, such as acorn shells.
None of the above colors are bright except black, and with the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue, basically any color you want can be dyed.
I don't know what color Jin nobles like, but I know a little about Chu, which is called colorful.
Two-color checkered brocade, brown-red-yellow diamond brocade, brown-ground rectangular brocade, brown-ground red-yellow rectangular brocade, dark-striped brocade with dragon and phoenix, brown-ground double-color checkered brocade with geometric flowers, dragon and phoenix-patterned tiger brocade, diamond-shaped brown silk, yellow silk and brown silk are all unearthed Chu cloth.
Known as the "Silk Treasure House", Mashan 1 Chu Tomb is rich in colors, including dark yellow, light yellow, khaki, golden yellow, grayish yellow, dark brown, brown, light brown, reddish brown, crimson, purplish red, orange red, dark brown, gray, lotus root, black, cobalt blue and plain color. Many fabrics are generally two-color or three-color, with a maximum of six colors. The collocation between colors is exquisite, and the tone is calm, soft and elegant.
Chu advocates red, as can be seen from the above colors, in the pre-Qin period, people's clothes must be bright and dazzling.
