Anyway, since it is something on clothes, it must have a certain decorative effect, otherwise it will not be used. The royal families in the Qing Dynasty were all Manchu. Unlike the Han people, they live on horseback. Moreover, they live in a cold place and often need to wear thick clothes. However, riding a horse is a very strenuous exercise. Take off your clothes after sweating. In order to avoid too much exposure, they will wrap a white cloth around the collar, which can not only play a decorative role, but also prevent nudity.
The ancients were very particular about etiquette, and this practice of wrapping white cloth strips became a custom. For some women, wearing white cloth will also look more dignified. Ordinary women should pay attention to their image. Only in this way can they please the emperor and dress up beautifully just to please him.
In addition, a more important function of binding white cloth strips is to facilitate the emperor. There are many concubines of the emperor, not to mention the concubines below. It is not easy to remember so many concubines, so it is easy for the emperor to identify them by wearing white cloth strips. Moreover, different levels of concubines wear different white stripes. The more exquisite white stripes prove that their identity is more noble, so wearing white stripes is also a symbol of dignity.
