The jacket skirt is a style of upper and lower skirts in Hanfu. It is actually one of the categories of skirts.
Aoqun is a general term for ancient Chinese women wearing a coat on the upper body and a skirt on the lower body. Skirts and jackets have been recorded since the Tang Dynasty until the Republic of China. Some people's definition of jacket skirt is actually quite wrong and vague, because during the Ming Dynasty, shirts were still worn outside the skirt. The pottery figurines of the Sixteenth Kingdom of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also show that the jacket was worn outside the skirt during this period. Therefore, the term "coat skirt" cannot be defined based on whether it is worn outside, but should be defined in the basic context of wearing a coat on the upper body and a skirt on the lower body.
"Coat" is a lined top. The coat we wear in winter now. The meaning of "coat" is actually not much different from the ancient coat skirt. The coat skirt was mainly used by the ancients to keep out the cold in winter. Most of them The styles of cuffs are tightened, such as pipa sleeves, narrow sleeves, etc., which have the effect of windproof and warmth.
(The top can be a long coat or a short coat)
Generally, the lower skirt of a coat skirt is usually paired with a horse-face pleated skirt or an ordinary pleated skirt. There are also cases in the Tang Dynasty that used torn skirts to match the coat. Since the Ming Dynasty was the prosperous period of coats and skirts, when we talk about coats and skirts in modern times, we generally refer to the skirts and coats of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the influence of the Ming Dynasty, Korea in the early days of the Lee Dynasty also followed the coat skirts of the Ming Dynasty, and gradually developed its own national characteristics, and evolved into the chiguri skirt style common in modern Korean clothes.
