Dress Culture: Clothes And Materials

From ancient times, China's

So far, archaeologists have offered us the earliest.

Qi is one of the words that represent silk fabrics, and few of them have the meaning of "beauty".

In addition to the figurative usage of "Jin Xin embroidery" and "beautiful rivers and mountains", the escape of "Qi" is more active.

Qi is a beautiful, gentle and flatting fabric on the ground, which makes people look like three thousand years ago.

In ancient times, Persia called China Cini, and India called China Cina, which is the origin of China in English today.

Foreigners first know China and begin with amazing beauty. Cini is the voice of "Qi". Persians and India know that there is a "Qi kingdom" in their East (Shen Fuwei's history of cultural exchanges between China and the West).

This statement is more believable.

Western scholars saw the statue and painted figures of Greek statues in the fifth Century B.C., and all of them were thin, soft, pparent silk fabrics. It was concluded that Chinese silk had been pferred to the Mediterranean Sea in the five or six century BC.

This is just in the spring and Autumn period of China and the early Warring States period.

From the objects excavated from Chu tomb in the Warring States period, there were three colored dragon and Phoenix brocade patterns at that time, which was indeed a noble and magnificent material at that time.

During the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Geliang managed to develop silkworms, and Shu Brocade was known for a while.

Wei Wendi Cao Pi was very impressed by his new patterns. The imperial edict said: "before and after each brocade, they are very different."

Shu made diplomacy with it. In Wu Ji, he said, "Shu sends Wu, and he restores thousands of ends."

That is Shu Brocade as its strategic objective of Wu Jucao.

In the south of Zhu Geliang, the brocade method was imparted to the minority nationalities in the Yunnan Guizhou area, so the Miao people called their colorful brocade "Wuhou brocade", while the Dong women's Dong brocade was also called "Zhuge Jin".

In ancient times, Shu Brocade did not fade for a long time.

The reason is that the method of raising silkworms in Sichuan is different from that in other places. "When it's going to sleep, it will be fed with mulberry ash". Some people think that the water quality of Jinjiang (now Chengdu South) is very good, so that it can make silk color and brocade brightly and brightly.

In the time of Shu Han, the officer in charge of brocade was stationed here.

Du Fu's "Shu Xiang" poem cloud: "outside the golden city".

At that time, Chengdu was called Kun Guan City, which is why.

From the song and Yuan to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the silk fabric was constantly expanded and optimized, such as the creation of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the silk brocade, the Ming Dynasty and the colourful makeup and satin.

In the forty time, Ximen Qing wrote "the ruler of the south side weaving plywood", and asked Zhao Caifeng to make a makeup flower sleeve robe for each wife and concubines, a set of brocade clothes, and a set of makeup clothes.

This "makeup flower" was the fashionable dress material and satin at that time.

Chinese dress culture is created by all nationalities in China, and so is clothing.

Wool fabrics and cotton cloth were the earliest contributions made by ethnic minorities.

The earliest known woollen fabrics in China are the woollen and carpet fragments that were excavated four thousand years ago in lannuu Hong, Qinghai Province in 1960.

This area was outside the Chinese culture circle.

But Dr. Zhou Dai has already been able to wear bright coloured woollen clothes.

The Chinese nation has experienced fishing and hunting, and has long known to use animal skins for clothing.

In ancient times, fur was processed together with fur, and the fur was outward.

Zhou Li, Tian Guan, has the position of Si Qiu, and manages the fur coat for Zhou Wang, princes and public princes.

According to the book of rites, jade clouds, the fox and the white coat are served by the emperor. The tiger fur and the wolf jar are the clothes of the left and right guards. The doctors serve the fox fur with the leopard sleeves, the lambs and the leopard ornaments, and the following dogs serve the fur of the sheep.

During the Qing Dynasty Kangxi, there was a rule on what kind of fur people could not take: "the raccoon dog, the lynx king and the prince of the royal family are not allowed to take it. No official officer can be allowed to take the Pegasus, fox fur and makeup brocade.

Dyed rat fox hat is not acceptable to a good family.

That's all. "

(Ye Mengzhu's "reading the world").

There was no cotton in the Central Plains.

The cotton cloth came from the southern minorities and was pliterate in the local language as "white fold".

From the post Han Shu Nan man southwest biography biography, we can see that the Ailao people in Yunnan today can make "Silk stack" (white fold), but also "dye embroidered embroidery" and "weave articles like silk brocade".

And now a "wide cloth" is produced in zhuya County, Hainan Province, which is generally considered also cotton cloth.

From the book "Taiping Yulan" volume 812, "Jinling", "100 workers may not be allowed to overtake", cotton cloth has not yet been popularized.

But the Tang Dynasty seems to be getting more and more. Bai Juyi has the poem "new cloth Qiu": "Guangxi cloth is as white as snow, and Wu Mian is softer than cloud."

The cloth is thick and thick, and it has plenty of fur for the fur. "

GUI cloth is white fold, now Guangxi produces cotton cloth; Wu Mian is the silk ribbon of the south of the Yangtze River.

Cotton was widely planted in the south of the Yangtze River in late thirteenth Century.

Huang Daopo, a woman in Songjiang, drifted to Hainan Island when she was young, and learned cotton spinning technology from the Li people. After more than thirty years of return to her hometown, she innovated the spinning wheel and made the cotton textile industry develop rapidly in the Han nationality area.

Cotton cloth has replaced the status of linen and has become one of the main materials for Chinese people.

Since then, linen has become a special cloth for summer.
