The underskirt is one of the earliest and most basic clothing forms in the history of Han clothing. Experts have verified based on physical objects that it started in the Warring States Period and ended in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties with the "shaving of hair and changing clothes", which is the most basic form of traditional Han clothing. During the two thousand years of inheritance, although the length, width and width have changed from time to time, the shape has always maintained the original style.
It is generally believed that the underskirt appeared in the Warring States Period. This is because dark clothes were popular in the Han Dynasty and the underskirt gradually decreased. Therefore, the style of underskirts in this period was that the underskirt was very short and only reached the waist, while the skirt was very long and saggled to the waist. land. In 1957, the actual skirt was discovered in the Han Tomb of Mozuizi in Wuwei, Gansu Province. The skirt was made of light blue silk, with silk cotton in the middle, and a section of white silk at the end of the sleeve. The skirt is also made of silk cotton and is made of yellow silk. The skirt of this period had narrow sleeves on the right side and a rectangular collar; the lower skirt was made of four pieces of plain silk, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom; the waist was pleated and tied with a silk belt.
The undershirt can be divided into single undershirt and compound undershirt. The single undershirt is close to a shirt, while the compound undershirt is close to a coat. The difference lies in whether it is sandwiched inside.
The sleeves of the jacket are generally longer. Pipa sleeves were common in the Ming Dynasty. The right fold is the standard collar style of Hanfu, and the appearance is like the letter Y (but the left fold is the style of foreigners or dead people, and the direction cannot be reversed).
Straight collars are often paired with myrobalan or tube tops, and the belt is made of silk or leather for fixation. However, Hanfu does not have this auxiliary function.
The palace ribbon can be made of ribbons, usually tied with several loops in the middle and then drooped to the ground. However, some also string a jade pendant in the middle to decorate or press the skirt to make it less spread out. Affect the appearance.
Skirts range from six to twelve, with various colors and styles. Compared with other clothing shapes, the skirt has an obvious feature: the top is short and the bottom is long. The upper and lower proportions reflect the golden section. It has rich aesthetic connotation and makes people look more elegant after wearing it.
There are differences, but of course they also have common features: flat cutting, multiple edges, and ribbon ties; the upper jacket changes mainly in the collar shape and placket, and the lower skirt reaches the upper of the shoe. Generally speaking, if the dress is short, then the skirt is long, and the dress is as short as the waist, and the skirt is as long as below the ankle bone; if the dress is long, the skirt is wide, and when the dress is long, the length is from the hip to below the knee, and the skirt reveals only a few inches, so the skirt does not need to show any features. It is taboo for the upper and lower skirts to be equally divided, as it will look dull and lack variety.
