Britain: A kilt is equal to a British history.

Scots regard kilts as "formal dresses" and wear them at weddings or other more formal occasions. Until now, the Scottish army still uses kilts as uniforms. A black woolen coat, a white shirt, a plaid skirt, wool socks, a plaid shawl with the same pattern, and a hip flask decorated with animal skins at the waist, the image of a standard Scottish man came to my face. Scottish plaid skirt originated from an ancient dress called "Chirt". This is a short skirt from waist to knee, made of tweed, with continuous large squares on the cloth, which should be clearly displayed. In the eyes of Scots, "Chirt" is not only their favorite national costume, but also a symbol of Scottish national culture. 1707 After the merger of Scotland and England, "Chirt" was retained as the national costume of Scotland. Scots wear this kind of clothing to express their resistance to British rule and their strong desire for national independence. 1745, after Hanover Palace suppressed the armed uprising of Scots, it promulgated the famous "skirt ban order" in British history, which prohibited Scots from wearing skirts and could only be dominated by British costumes. Violators will be sentenced to imprisonment or exile. The Scots fought for this for more than 30 years, and finally forced Hanover Palace to cancel the "skirt ban" in 1782, winning the right to wear skirts for themselves. A suit of Scottish national costume includes a knee-length plaid skirt, a matching vest and tweed coat, and a pair of long tube knitted thick socks. The skirt is tied with a wide belt, and there is a big wallet hanging under it, hanging in the center of the front of the tweed skirt. Sometimes I put a tweed blanket on my shoulder and clip it on my left shoulder.

In English, the kilt is called "kilt", which is an authentic Scotland. The English and Scots have been arguing about the origin of this short skirt. There is a saying that an Englishman named Tom rawlinson first advocated wearing a kilt. According to records, in 17 15, the British government adopted an open policy to allow people from England and Scotland to exchange trade. Tom rawlinson is one of the businessmen who benefited from it. He went to the north to look for gold. He opened a charcoal painting factory in northern Scotland, and the kilt was his work clothes among the workers. The traditional Scottish dress "kilt" originally included a wide shawl, which was integrated with a short skirt. It is inconvenient to cut down trees. Tom rawlinson proposed to the tailor to split the "kilt" in two, and the kilt was born.

However, it is also recorded that as early as 1624, the Scottish army used plaid skirts as military uniforms.

The saying "wearing short skirts without underwear" has also been circulating. One explanation is that you only need to wear underwear when dancing; Underwear seems to be a burden if you wear a lined Scottish skirt; Underwear is essential to wear an unlined wool Scottish skirt; Whether you need to wear underwear depends on the weather, personal habits and the occasions you want to attend.

Another explanation is an allusion. It is said that 300 years ago, in a defensive war in the highlands of Scotland, an officer of the Scottish army suddenly ordered soldiers to take off their short skirts and underwear and attack each other in only shirts. Seeing this, the other soldiers thought the enemy was crazy and turned around and fled. Since then, the saying "wearing short skirts without underwear" has spread.

After talking about the mystery inside the skirt, I also want to mention the plaid on the skirt. There is a saying that "short skirts are equal to the history of the British Empire", which is really no exaggeration. It is said that the Scottish Plaid Registration Association recorded hundreds of different plaid patterns, some of which were named after surnames, representing different Scottish families. The black-gray grid is called the "government grid". There are also plaid patterns specially designed for members of the royal family. The noble status is noble, and the plaid pattern worn is also called "noble square". 17th century and18th century, the inter-tribal wars on the Scottish Plateau continued all the year round, and men on the battlefield distinguished themselves by the plaid patterns they wore, which was a bit like the current "military uniform".
