Clothing (also known as clothing, clothing, clothing) is synonymous with clothing and clothing. Of clothes and daily necessities. The broadest definition, in addition to covering the trunk and limbs, also includes the covers and decorations of hands (gloves), feet (shoes, sandals, boots) and head (hat). In ancient times, two skins were used to cover the body, which was originally used to cover the front and back at will. Later, people used bone needles to sew up the front and back pieces of the cover and wrap it around the lower limbs of the human body, thus forming a lower skirt.
Coronation. It is the ceremonial dress of the Zhou Dynasty, consisting of a crown, a mysterious dress and a jade coat. The robe has nepotism and the clothes have boudoir. From the bottom of the coat to the top and bottom of the deep coat, and then to the top and bottom of the robe, the two-stage garment separated up and down gradually evolved into a one-stage garment connected up and down. In the Han dynasty, there was a robe for women, which could be worn as a coat. Because blouses are no longer needed, collars, sleeves, lapels, ruffles and other parts are decorated with lace, heavy colors and embroidery patterns, and upgraded to formal dresses.
shirt It is shaped like a robe, but there is no clip in it. It is a light garment. Shirts of the Han Dynasty were also worn in summer. It is said that Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, was often sweaty and was called a sweatshirt. Silk is one of the earliest inventions in the history of China. Like the four great inventions of ancient civilization in China, it has produced worldwide influence. But it is close to personal life and has a long history, but it is not as good as other inventions.
Silk was produced in prehistoric civilization and is still one of the most beautiful and environmentally friendly fabrics. Since it spread all over the world, mankind has been creating all kinds of exquisite silk products and handicrafts for thousands of years. It was in the process of silk exchange that the East and the West established the "Silk Road" on the Eurasian Avenue for the first time, which opened each other's doors, expanded their understanding of the world, formed an open mind and mind, and inspired the business spirit as never before, thus mankind found the way to the future.
For thousands of years, mulberry silk weaving is as important as grain production, and it is one of the most basic and important activities of ancient agriculture in China. It is also the source of industrial economy and finance and taxation that ancient politicians focused on. The basic life of ancient rural areas in China was to grow grain and raise silkworms. The most popular handicraft industry in urban and rural areas was also related to silk weaving and embroidery, which was much more popular than making tea and porcelain.
Before the 20th century, sericulture and silk weaving were the most important jobs for rural women in China. Silkworm rearing, silk weaving and embroidery are all women's jobs, and few men can participate in them. These are meticulous work. In the division of labor between men and women, China women naturally played a leading role in silk production, and developed a hard-working, subtle and docile character. The history of silk was mainly written by rural women in China. Perhaps only the transportation, trade and sale of silk can make men useful. In the eyes of women, silk has always been the most beautiful cloud in the world.
Mulberry leaf field is the most charming scenery in the farming era, and it is also the life pursuit of many people. The once gorgeous and elegant vicissitudes of life are still prosperous in those cities that are prosperous because of silk. The scene of planting mulberry and raising silkworms is still going on, the embroidery girl is still there, but the embroidery skills are on the verge of being lost. In this way, the ancient silk gradually drifted behind a splendid history.
Reading the history of silk is a journey to trace the history of beauty and explore human wisdom, and it is also a shortcut to perceive the characteristics of ancient China culture. Silk is indispensable in every historical time and space in China, so we can always see the deeper and wider cultural background of China when exploring the historical track of silk. China people's love for silk is innate, which is due to China people's love for nature, the expression of subjective feelings and the pursuit of beauty. They put their ideas and wisdom into every tiny thing in life, making it exquisite, elegant and beautiful. Silk is such a symbol. Those brocade are as gorgeous as clouds, and the gauze is as bright as cicada, while the silk paintings are better than the original ... You may feel the preferences and ideas of those ancient pastoral masters, as well as the popular fashions of their time, such as the moire in the Han Dynasty (206-220 BC), because people in the Han Dynasty like immortals and fantasize about ascending immortals; During the Tang Dynasty (AD 6 18-907), the Swiss beasts such as grape grains and tuanhua were very popular in foreign countries at that time, and they looked very rich.
On the first page of the history of China civilization, there are silkworms, silkworms, silkworms, and silkworms. In the prehistoric legend of China, the Yellow Emperor (the leader of a tribe in China clan society and the ancestor of the Chinese nation) invented sericulture. The origin of the beautiful silk country can be traced back to the farthest past, and her future will be different.
As far back as the pre-Qin era in the 2nd century BC, the vast rural areas from the Yellow River to the Yangtze River valley have long been a scene of mulberry leaves and silk clothes fluttering. Since then, the social division of labor between men and women in China has been established for more than 3,000 years. Since the Zhou Dynasty (65,438 BC+0046 BC-256 BC), empresses headed by Empress Zhou have held the etiquette of "kissing silkworms" and "kissing silkworms" every New Year, symbolized by the ceremony of the emperor kissing ploughing and the queen kissing mulberry. The basic social picture of China for thousands of years is
From Shang Dynasty (about 65438 BC+0300 BC) to Warring States Period (65438 BC+07th century BC-2nd century BC), mulberry planting area and sericulture area gradually expanded, and silk production gradually developed and prospered. China has a vast territory, and was originally called Splendid Rivers and Mountains, because silk, China's silk clothing, is flying high and colorful. Legend has it that Lei Zu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, invented sericulture. Once Leizu was drinking water in the wild mulberry forest, and the wild cocoon fell into the water bowl on the tree. When the branches were picked and fished out, the silk hung out and continued to grow longer and longer. Leizu used it to spin and knit clothes and began to tame wild silkworms. Lei Zu was regarded as the first silkworm by later generations, and all the empresses and concubines of past dynasties had ceremonies to sacrifice the first silkworm. Shengze town, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province still has a fairy temple built in the seventh year of Qing Daoguang (1827). It is the only temple dedicated to sericulture culture at present, but it also shows that at least in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a legacy of offering sacrifices to Xiancan Temple. Until 1949, some silkworm temples similar to Xiancan Temple can be seen in many silkworm breeding areas, but Lei Zu, the "first silkworm", is also worshipped.
There is also a Leizu Temple in Xiangfusi Lane, Suzhou, where Suzhou silk industry pays homage to the ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi (2697- 2599 BC). In Suzhou folklore, Lei Zu became the youngest of the three daughters of Xuanyuan Huangdi, and was affectionately called the three daughters by folk sericulture farmers. Legend has it that Huangdi in Xuanyuan, with the help of the Twelve Animals, invented a brocade loom, and was inspired by the grates that combed the hair of three girls to invent reeds, so that the warp would not be cut off during weaving. These legends, like other agricultural inventions, are attributed to one or two heroes in prehistoric times. Although there is no evidence to check, they also retain some historical facts.
There is also a fascinating myth about the origin of sericulture in Sou Shen Ji (an ancient myth and folklore in China, written by Gan Bao in Jin Dynasty): It is said that there were two fathers and daughters in ancient Shu, and the father went out to work, leaving his daughter to raise horses at home. For a long time, my daughter missed her father and joked with Ma that she would marry him if she could get her father back. Hearing this, the horse broke free from the reins, finally found his father after some bumps, and groaned in the direction of his home. His father was very surprised. When he learned that something had happened at home, he rode home. When the horse came home, it refused to eat. Every time he sees his daughter coming in and out, he will hit his hoof. Father felt strange and asked her what was going on. His daughter told him the truth. Father thought it was an insult to his family, so he shot the horse with an arrow and dried its skin in the yard. The story spread slowly. One day, my daughter and the girlfriend next door came to Mapi again and said with a smile, "Why do you want to marry a woman like an animal?" Why invite such a fatal disaster? "Who knows the words sound just fell and Ma Pi suddenly flew up and swept away her daughter. Father looked around and found them in a big tree a few days later. Daughter and horse skin become silkworms and live in trees at the same time. The cocoons are thick and big. The girlfriend next door took down some silkworms. Humans will also use cosmetics, perfumes and other accessories to decorate their bodies; I trim, dye and change the hair on my head, face and body, and sometimes I touch my skin (tattoos, scars and piercings). These decorations will affect the overall sense of clothing modeling, but they will not become a part of clothing.
If things are carried around rather than worn (such as purses, crutches, umbrellas), they should usually be regarded as accessories rather than clothes. As for jewelry and sunglasses, although we will say "wear" instead of "carry" in our daily spoken language, they are usually regarded as accessories.
