Third, rope is widely used in the practical and decorative aspects of clothing. Ropes appeared in clothing very early. Even before the formal appearance of clothing, human ancestors already knew how to bind animal skins with ropes and other things to protect and keep out the cold. For thousands of years, rope has been widely used in clothing, many of which are still in use today, for obvious reasons: first, it is practical, simple to use and does not need complicated processing; Second, it is a fibrous material, soft and easy to shape, which is in harmony with the whole clothing; Third, it has visual aesthetic feeling and strong decorative effect. Generally speaking, in early clothing, the function of rope was mainly to connect and bind all parts of clothing, and it was mainly practical. Later, the decorative function gradually increased, and even the rope on some clothes was completely used as decoration, which had no practical function. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, rope has played its decorative role in clothing. In the pottery model unearthed in Houma, Shanxi, there is an image of a man wearing a silk belt with a big bow on it to tighten his clothes. In addition, some cultural relics such as lace and belts unearthed in Jiangling, Hubei Province and Xinyang, Henan Province also show that the rope style at that time was very complicated and the decorative skills were also very clever. Wang Wei, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, described various ribbons and pendants on clothes. Ribbon is a practical handicraft used by the ancients to tie clothes. It can be wide or narrow, and can also be crowned and printed. Pendants have a longer history. It is small and exquisite, changeable and full of auspicious and beautiful meanings. "A gentleman wears jade for no reason, and jade never leaves his hand" is the fashion of ancient people wearing jade. In addition, it is worth mentioning the "big belt system" in ancient China. Here, the rope is not only a waist-binding function and a decorative function, but also a symbol of political and social status. According to the literature, the shape of the belt is very complicated, and the color decoration is also different, especially for all kinds of accessories, from the emperor to the scholar, the grade difference is very significant. Ropes are also widely used in clothes of other regions and nationalities. Heaton in ancient Greece and Junica in ancient Rome all tied a belt on a simple and wide cloth, which was both warm and convenient for activities, and could also form beautiful folds. White wedding dresses worn by Christian and Catholic brides are often decorated with a lot of ribbons, ribbons and bows, which are very beautiful. The belt on Japanese kimono is also very distinctive, because the improvement of waist section makes the shorter and thicker lower body of Japanese women look slender visually. Another example is the traditional Korean long skirt, which is simple and generous, and the wide bow on the chest has become the most remarkable feature of Korean clothing. In the above example, the rope is only used for a certain part of the clothes. In fact, rope can also be used as the main material of clothing, especially in modern clothing design. As shown on the left, it is very creative to cut the leather into thin strips and wrap it around the chest, and directly fix the body with a belt. Another example is Milla's "binding" in the American film "The Fifth Element", which was designed and made with wide tape according to the needs of the plot, leaving a deep impression on people. In addition, there is a special form of rope, which is weaving (knot). Knitted fabrics are unique in style, loose and have gaps. The repeated symmetrical geometric patterns of skeleton network have become wonderful patterns in people's eyes. Knitting clothes has a very long history. In China, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, knitwear was very delicate and began to be applied to clothes. The most outstanding representative is 1972 "Qianjindai" unearthed from No.1 Han Tomb in Mawangdui, Changsha, which is exquisite in workmanship, exquisite in color, excellent in weaving technology and pleasing to the eye. Rope is widely used in modern clothing design, with various forms and functions, which makes clothing styles ever-changing. Some are the main means of clothing modeling, which plays a key role; Others make the finishing point, emphasizing decoration; Some are connected with the main body of clothing, which is an extension of clothing; Some are separated from the main body of clothing and can be used freely; Some contrast, some unity; Some are simple, some are complicated ... In addition to the clothes under the coat, there are often traces of rope on independent clothing accessories such as hats, shoes and bags, while the styles of hair bands, neck bands, suspenders, belts, nepotism, leggings and shoelaces are more colorful.
