During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the most obvious feature of China's clothing was the dual-track system. Wear the traditional costumes of the Han nationality at the big sacrificial ceremony. In normal times, the official costume of the Tang Dynasty was made of Hufu (Xianbei clothing).
By the Tang dynasty, the country was unified, the economy was prosperous, the shape was more open, and the costumes were more and more gorgeous. The characteristic of women's dress in Tang Dynasty is the unity of skirt, blouse and blouse. Among women, there is an image of topless and bare arms. On the east wall of Princess Yongtai's tomb, there is an image of a woman in the Tang Dynasty, with a high bun, shirtless, HongLing shoulders, a yellow short-sleeved blouse, a long green dress sweeping the floor, and a red belt hanging from her waist, which gives a more vivid understanding of "powder chest is half hidden and dark snow is suspected" and "wearing fine grass when sitting, that is, sweeping plum blossoms with a skirt".
Dressing slowly and revealing a little is not everyone's job. In the Tang Dynasty, only people with status could wear open-chested shirts, Princess Yongtai could be semi-naked, and singers could be semi-naked to please the ruling class, while women in ordinary families were not allowed to be semi-naked. At that time, the semi-topless dress of the Tang Dynasty was somewhat similar to the evening dress of the modern west except that the shoulders and back were not allowed to be exposed.
The collars of women's wear in the Tang Dynasty include round neck, square collar, oblique collar, straight collar and chicken heart collar. Short skirts and long skirts are characterized by high waists, generally above the waist, and some are even tied under the armpits, giving people a very slender feeling.
"Luoshan leaves are heavily embroidered, and Jinfeng Yinyan has its own traces." Mei Dai wins the color of day lily, and the red skirt envies pomegranate flowers. The skirts in the Tang Dynasty are colorful, with red, purple, yellow and green competing for each other, especially the red skirt. The popularity of red skirts in the streets is not the patent of modern people. As early as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, dance skirts were dyed red by pomegranate flowers everywhere.
Perhaps influenced by the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Yang Guifei likes the yellow skirt best, which is a symbol of status.
The "semi-exposed skirt" reflects the openness of society at that time from one side.
Social ideology formed on a certain economic basis. It is an important factor affecting social fashion and clothing. Clothing is a barometer of social and political climate. The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of feudal society in China, especially during Zhenguan and Kaiyuan years, when the political climate was relaxed and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was the political, economic and cultural center at that time, and also the center of cultural exchanges between the East and the West. The ancient city of An, the morning bell of the Wild Goose Pagoda, the smoke from the thatched cottage, the wind and snow of willows, the sunset of Mount Li, the sacred palm of the mountain and the stone carvings in the forest of steles seem to still haunt the sound of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. More than 300 countries had friendly exchanges with the Tang government. Through them, splendid China culture spread to all parts of the world. Today, some countries in East Asia still regard the costumes of the Tang Dynasty as formal attire, which shows its lasting influence. Foreign friendly envoys gathered in Chang 'an and also spread the seeds of their culture in Qinchuan, 800 miles away. Painting, sculpture, music, dance and other arts in the Tang Dynasty absorbed foreign skills and styles. The eclecticism of foreign costumes makes the exotic costumes in the Tang Dynasty even more dazzling.
Due to the open policy adopted by the Tang Dynasty, the costumes of the Western Regions and Tubo were eclectic, so "mud hat" and "fashionable makeup" became popular. This is the third great change in the ancient costume history of China. Different from the previous two major changes in clothing, this time the clothing exchange is from north to south and then to east.
1. Tang Dynasty costumes deeply influenced by foreign cultures.
Because of the communication with the western regions, the Tang Palace was influenced by foreign costume culture, which was also reflected in the change of ideas. The stone carvings unearthed in an recorded the appearance of women's Hu costumes, which is an excellent witness. Hu Song and Western Dance in Tang Dynasty: Huteng Dance from Central Asia; When performing Hu Xuan dance, the clothes worn by dancers can be called khufu.

3. Fashion in Tang Dynasty.
Tang clothes are often used as rafts, coats, shirts, skirts and other categories. We now have the distinctive "half arm" and "silk" in the Tang suit to illustrate.
"Half-arm" is a kind of coat, which was once a common dress for men and women in Tang Dynasty. Also called "half sleeves". It's a lined double-breasted coat to keep out dust. It's a jacket with elbow sleeves and a short upper body, similar to today's jacket? Heralds originated in the Sui Dynasty. "Notes on China's Ancient and Modern Times" records, "If I go to Pu and shoot a cloud to go to Ma Zhou, my clothes are not clear. I ask you to add half an arm as a gift." It means that singles at that time were all underwear, and it was more decent to add a coat outside. "Things of Gao Cheng" said, "It is also recorded that the big leaves in Sui Dynasty were taken more than half an arm for oral administration, except for long sleeves, Tang Gaozu reduced one sleeve, which is called half an arm, and now it is also back". However, it is recorded in Fu Zhi of Old Tang Dynasty, Notes of Ancient and Modern China and Fu Zhi of Ming Dynasty that "there are sleeves on the back, which are different from half arms". The half arm is similar to the two crotch shapes in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, with a long body and sleeveless crotch and short sleeves on the half arm. And were according to were said "Qin Ershi? A robe and a back are added to the shirt, and sleeves are made on the shirt. The sleeves are big in the shirt. " This kind of back is a palace dress. Because there is no image confirmation, I can't elaborate first, but I can estimate that there are similarities between the two, so I have the above impression.
"Silk" was often worn on women's shoulders and arms in the Tang Dynasty, similar to scarves today. Just wider and longer. It was called "oblique collar" in the Six Dynasties. The book Yu Fu Zhi in the old Tang Dynasty records that "the scarf protects the neck, so it is called' oblique collar'". Light yarn is generally used, and raw materials can be used in? Decorate the pattern with paintings and hand rust, which is quite soft and rich. China's Notes on Ancient and Modern Times says that "there was no system in ancient times, kaiyuan imperial edicts, wives in the 27th century, royal women in Lin Bao, etc., but ordinary banquets were made of silk and paintings, and they are still worn". There is a poem that records "advocating the family to cherish the dragon" Do you mean prostitutes? All the children are rusted with dragons. "Biography of Huo Xiaoyu" says: "Old pomegranate bushes, purple files, red and green curtains". This means that the clothes Huo Xiaoyu wears are called crotch, pomegranate string and green shawl.

6. What clothes did the women in the Tang court wear?
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the most obvious feature of China's clothing was the dual-track system. Wear the traditional costumes of the Han nationality at the big sacrificial ceremony. In normal times, the official costume of the Tang Dynasty was made of Hufu (Xianbei clothing).

7. What were the shoes and hats of the Tang Dynasty?
Judging from the style of shoes, upturned round toe shoes prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, with exquisite workmanship, and even straw sandals were exquisite in craftsmanship. The silk shoes are embroidered with tiger's head embroidery, which is similar to the tiger's head shoes worn by Shandong children, but the toe of the tiger's head shoes worn by Shandong rural children is not so upturned. There are similarities between men's shoes and modern shoes, which shows that the development of shoes has reached its peak at that time. Looking at the costume patterns in the Tang Dynasty, we can understand it this way.
In the early Tang Dynasty, the word "hanging hat" was flourishing and abandoned.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were still many costumes inherited from the Han Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and women's clothes liked to imitate the northern minorities. At this time, the most typical women's clothing was "lost".
It is much wider than the veil, and like a veil, it can cover the whole body, similar to the Arabic veil today. It is a common dress for Gong E beauty to go out. Folk ladies wear "curtain hats" when traveling. Judging from the pottery figurines and written records unearthed from the ancient tombs in the Tang Dynasty, the general pattern of the curtain cap is a hat with a layer of gauze hanging down, and "dragging the skirt to the neck" can block the oncoming sandstorm and scorching sun, and more importantly, prevent others from peeping, so as not to violate the ethical code. In the Wu Zetian period, this kind of clothing was very popular, which was the fashion for women to travel at that time. In the middle Tang Dynasty, despite repeated advocacy by the imperial court, due to the improvement of women's status in the Tang Dynasty, the social atmosphere gradually opened up, and the curtain of the curtain cap became "gradually exposed" and shorter and shorter, and the curtain cap was gradually replaced by another kind of clothing, that is, "hijab".
8. Tang Dynasty ornaments.
The evolution of women's hair styles in Tang Dynasty includes semi-rotating hair style, reverse hair style, happy hair style, sad hair style, lily hair style, hoof hair style, lingering hair style, variable hair style and various styles. Generally speaking, the hair style of the Sui Dynasty is relatively simple, with little change, generally flat-topped, and the hair is layered like a hat. This hairstyle was still used in the early Tang Dynasty, but the top was not as flat as that of the Sui Dynasty, and it was towering and mostly made into clouds. When I arrived in Emperor Taizong, the bun became higher and higher, and the forms became more and more abundant. Left 1 Show the bun of women in Sui Dynasty; Figures 2 and 3 on the left show the bun of a woman lying in bed for the first time. Figures 4 and 5 on the left show the women's bun in the prosperous Tang Dynasty; Figure 6 on the left shows women's hair bun in the middle Tang Dynasty. Fig. 7 on the left shows the women's bun in the middle and late Tang Dynasty; Figure 8 on the left shows the women's bun in the late Tang Dynasty; The picture on the right shows the bun of five generations of women. As for cheongsam with western-style coat, cheongsam with shawl, all kinds of coats, windbreakers and corresponding matching leather shoes, embroidered shoes and soft-soled shoes, they can all show maturity, stability and elegance, but the thickness and texture of cheongsam must match the matching clothes. At the same time, don't wander in the street wearing a noble cheongsam and a pair of slippers-style fashion shoes.
