The collar, cuffs and hem are all red. The skirt is decorated with jade belt, ribbon and Yu Pei, which is complex and exquisite.
By the Ming Dynasty, the queen's uniform was also very well regulated in the system. She was covered with crested rockhopper, robes and jade belts. There is no strict distinction between formal clothes and regular clothes in the crown clothes of the Qing Dynasty. The queen has a crown of honor and a crown of good service. The crown is decorated with mink in winter, green velvet in summer, and Zhu Wei on it. The ornaments in the crown include phoenix, pearl, opal and Jinzhai.
There are three kinds of queen's robes, three kinds of royal robes, two kinds of dragon robes and three kinds of dragon robes. The robe is stone blue, embroidered with dragon, Wan Fu longevity pattern or Babao Pingshui. The robe is bright yellow, green in winter and summer, sable green or dragon green in winter and golden yellow in summer. The robe is embroidered with dragon pattern, five-color moire pattern and eight-treasure pattern. The robes are stone blue, and the robes are bright yellow. When taking the robe, hang a pearl plate, that is, a plate of oriental pearls and two plates of corals.
Different concubines below the queen of the harem have a prescribed dress order, all of which belong to the inner ministers and occupy a place in the system.
According to the regulations of the Ming Palace, the crown of a maid-in-waiting was made in the Song Dynasty. It was purple, with narrow sleeves and small sunflowers all over it. The golden ring and red skirt were sewn with beads. In fact, there was a popular costume in the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty that was inherited from the imperial palace of the Yuan Dynasty, and that was Gaby. Gaby was created by Emperor Yuan Shizu. It has no collar, sleeveless back, and the back is longer than the front. It is designed to facilitate riding, keep the chest and back warm, and make the elbows move freely. Gaby in the Ming Palace looks like a sleeveless back, slightly shorter than the back and reaching to the knee.
The ladies-in-waiting of the imperial concubine wore wide-sleeved shirts with armor.
Xiaguan is the official costume of the queen and concubines. A coat is a shirt and a Xiaguan's matching clothes. Shirt yellow, Xiaguan dark blue, embroidered Un-yong Kim, or embroidered jade pendant, dragon protruding.
Empresses and ladies-in-waiting in the Forbidden City in Ming Dynasty all like to wear new clothes designed and made by themselves. Queen xizong Zhang is resourceful. She made a new crane-style dress with white silk and new mulberry silk, which is called a neon feather dress. During the Chongzhen period, ladies-in-waiting competed to be the Empress of Zhou Dynasty, wearing plain white gauze shirts, which were beautiful, and translucent white gauze shirts lined the red belly inside, increasing their charm. Maids in the late Ming Dynasty like to wear shirts in the colors of sea, sky and summer, which are white and red, elegant and slightly gorgeous, and even eunuchs who love beauty wear them. Maids in the Ming Dynasty usually made collars out of paper and changed them every day. This paper should be Xuan paper, which was donated by Yushan County, Jiangxi Province. I don't know who invented paper collars. Paper collars prevailed in Ming Palace, which were not recorded in other dynasties. Therefore, the paper collar should be a new creation of palace ladies in the Ming Dynasty. However, paper clothes appeared in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Daizong mutiny during the calendar year. "From Chishui to Tongguan, livestock and property are exhausted, and officials don't even eat paper clothes or for days." It can be seen that taking paper clothes at that time was an emergency method. Out of desperation, paper clothes will not work well in the future.
In addition, the rockhopper is a kind of ceremonial crown with barbed wire as the fetus, decorated with a little emerald phoenix and hung with jewelry tassels. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, it has become the prescribed dress of the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager and Empress. There are two kinds of crowns in Ming dynasty, one is worn by empresses, and the crown is decorated with dragons besides phoenixes. The other is the colorful crown worn by ordinary women, which is not decorated with dragons and phoenixes, but only with beaded flowers, but also called rockhopper.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was no difference between upper and lower skirts, but among young women, a short waist skirt was often added to facilitate activities, and some maids and maids also liked this kind of dress. The coat is a long-sleeved coat with a cross collar. The skirt was light in color at first, although it had patterns, but it was not obvious. By the early years of Chongzhen, skirts were mostly plain white, and even if there were embroidery patterns, only a lace was decorated one or two inches below the skirt as a presser foot. At the beginning of the skirt, there were six pieces, that is, the so-called "skirt dragging six pieces of Xiangjiang River water"; After using it for eight times, there are many fine wrinkles at the waist, and the lines are like water lines. By the end of the Ming dynasty, the decoration of skirts became more and more exquisite, and the number of skirts increased to ten. The pleats at the waist are getting denser and denser, and each pleat has a color. The breeze blows, and the color is like a moonlight skirt, so it is called a "moonlight skirt".
