The war in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period promoted the reform of corsets, long skirts and robes that took off their tops. King Wuling of Zhao broke through the resistance for the fighting capacity of the army, ordered the people of the whole country to put on nomadic shorts and learn to ride and shoot, and finally made Zhao strong. This was the first clothing reform in China's history, and Khufu became very popular from then on. Accompanied by khufu, there is a hook. Used to end the belt, because it is more convenient than tying the belt, it quickly became popular.
In the evolution of costumes in Qin and Han dynasties, the deep clothes were replaced by elm with straight eaves. Also known as "pole", it refers to the hem at the back of the clothes, which is actually the front of the clothes, that is, the front. Because the collar of ancient clothes is connected with the front, it is called pole. Because the front of the deep coat is often connected one by one, it must be worn around the back, thus forming a "curve". The adoption of Ququ is directly related to the evolution of underwear.
Before the appearance of deep clothes, people's lower body was surrounded by skirts, so pants would not be exposed; After the deep clothes connect the clothes into a whole, it brings problems to the treatment of the hem: if the two sides are slit, the blouse will inevitably be exposed; If you don't open the seam, it will affect walking. To this end, there is a way to cover each other up.
Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties is another great turning point in the history of ancient clothing in China. With a large number of ethnic minorities entering the Central Plains, Khufu became a common costume in society. The clothes of ordinary people are most influenced by Khufu. They absorbed the narrow sleeves, tight-fitting, round neck, split and other factors in Hu clothing into the original clothing.
On the basis of Khufu, the clothing of Han aristocrats has also been improved, with the length lengthened, cuffs and trousers added, and the left slit changed to the right slit. But the clothes are still the traditional Han clothing style. At this time, new clothing styles appeared, such as: knee-length sleeves on top and pleated pants on the bottom; There are no sleeves, only two skirts, one on the chest and the other on the back crotch; Half-sleeved shirt, short-sleeved shirt. Wei Mingdi once wore an embroidered hat and a light blue half-sleeved shirt to see his liegeman, and was denounced by public opinion as "serving the demon".
In the Tang Dynasty, besides stand-up collar, square collar and round neck, there were all kinds of lapels, especially women's lapels, and even a bare collar was popular, that is, underwear was not worn inside, and the chest was exposed outside. On the other hand, it also reflects the openness of thought at that time.
Men's wear in Song Dynasty generally followed the characteristics of Tang Dynasty. Ordinary people often wear gowns with high collars or round necks and stuff their clothes on their belts when doing things. The clothes are black and white. At that time, retired officials and scholar-officials wore a double-breasted gown called "straight seam", with large sleeves, black edges on cuffs, neckline and shirt corners, and a hat called "Dongpo towel" on their heads. In Song Dynasty, women wore a short jacket with narrow sleeves and a long skirt. Usually, they wear double-breasted long-sleeved shirts, much like vests today. The neckline and the front of the button are embroidered with beautiful lace.
