The ancients were keen to drag clothes to the ground, why not be afraid of dirty? And look at their way of life is afraid of dirty

With the popularity of some costume film and television dramas, Hanfu has once again appeared in people's field of vision, when we go to some commercial streets, we will see men and women wearing Hanfu, it is indeed very beautiful and handsome, but today's Hanfu and ancient Hanfu are different and have been improved. For example, the three characteristics of Hanfu are the right side of the collar, the wide sleeves of the dress, and the ties with hidden buttons.

Some modern Hanfu do not have this concept at all, more is the pursuit of simple fashion, noble and elegant, and even some of the meaning of evening dresses. place

It is difficult for us to see cumbersome or even moped ancient clothes.

However, the ancients wear clothes are very characteristic, in the film and television drama we will also see in some important occasions, the ancients will wear some particularly exaggerated and cumbersome, while the clothes will be particularly long, even dragged to the ground of the clothes, which can not help but make people think that the ancients did not have a washing machine, washing clothes is very difficult, need to go to the river with a pounding pestle to beat continuously, and this is very hurtful to the clothes, so the ancients clothes are rarely washed.

Isn't it easier to get dirty by mopping the floor, so why do they drag their clothes to the ground, is this for the pursuit of fashion?

First of all, it is undeniable that there are factors that focus on fashion.

Each generation's definition of fashion is different, such as the popular qipao in the Republic of China period, and later the popular military uniform even had a period of killing Matt, and now more pursuit is simple and generous, decent and comfortable, and even back to the furnace Hanfu. And the ancients also pay attention to these, after all, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, each item is very strict, especially in the feudal era, wearing the wrong clothes and even the danger of being hatped, so following the mainstream is the best choice. In this way, it can also show China's state of etiquette and show respect for others.

The second is to manifest one's identity.

In the Mawangdui tomb, we once unearthed a Hanfu, and that Hanfu followed the crown dress system in the Zhou Li very well, which means that the costumes of the ancients did have a strict hierarchical division, and this is indeed in line with the hierarchy of feudal society. People with noble status will naturally wear more luxurious and elegant clothes, while the people at the bottom need to do some agricultural work and naturally need to wear simpler clothes, otherwise it is very inconvenient to cultivate land and wear long clothes for weaving.

And if you can wear clothes that are dragged to the ground, you must not worry about getting dirty, because he must not wash his own clothes

The first that cannot be worn is that it cannot be bought, and the second is that clothes are indeed not conducive to the usual production labor. For example, in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", some nobles do not need to do it themselves to go to the toilet, which is very normal, and the empress dowager Lafayette's toilet is more complicated. The palace maid waited with water around 5 a.m., and prepared the official room, that is, the bedpan, which was made of sandalwood, and at the same time carved geckos around, the hand paper was white and soft, so it was cut in advance, and in order not to make it too hard and scratch the skin, the palace maid would spit on it.

And usually some large households will be equipped with a variety of maids, and these maids are also of a clear rank, the highest level of personal maids, followed by cleaning debris in the yard, and finally washing clothes and cooking, so do not worry about clothes will get dirty. And some large households are many live on the second floor, often the first floor is floor tiles, and the second floor is a wooden floor, large households generally live on the second floor, the floor will be brushed with a brush every day, and then slowly wiped with a cloth,

So it is very clean, even if it is worn every day, it is not easy to get dirty, after all, it does not do any work.

And in ancient times, it was not necessary to wear mop clothes every day, there were some important occasions to wear,

Similar to now some stars to participate in some evening parties, usually will wear some evening dresses, we will find that evening dresses are usually particularly pompous, because it mainly shows their own fashion and bright eyes, do not consider the usual labor production, and the ancients are the same, they will only wear on some important occasions, usually will wear some more comfortable and easy to act clothes, so in some film and television dramas we will find that the protagonist will change clothes frequently, at home may wear white pajamas, As soon as he went out, he would let the mane bring his robe up.

There may also be a misunderstanding of the clothes and clothing of the ancients,

We now understand the costumes of the ancients. Nothing more than from film and television dramas, some of the funerary products in the tombs and some murals, paintings, literary works, first of all, film and television dramas are generally filmed in court dramas, large households have many homes, their clothes and costumes are certainly very luxurious, and the tomb pit is the same reason, can accompany the burial of several pieces of silk, that is also a large household, I am afraid that the general family is coarse linen cloth, and even reluctant to accompany the funeral, I am afraid that it will be wrapped in a straw mat. And in the murals, just like the photographs are taken now,

Usually they will show their best side, and it is inevitable that they will be exaggerated, which is also reasonable.

And the clothes of the ancients have also been improved to simplicity and convenience. For example, the absorption of Hufu and other advantages, Hufu was first introduced by King Wuling of Zhao, in 307 BC, King Wuling of Zhao issued an edict to improve Hufu, and actively promoted Hufu riding and shooting.

Because it was found that the Hu costume was lighter and more convenient than the costume of the Central Plains, and the Hu costume was some close-fitting shorts and trousers, which were extremely conducive to combat,

Therefore, it was first introduced in the army and later spread to the civilian population.

So the ancients didn't always wear clothes that were dragged to the ground. It's just that some film and television dramas may make the costumes more exaggerated in order to highlight the identity of the characters, so that we have an illusion.

summary

A piece of clothing can reflect the lifestyle of the nobility at that time, so extravagant and hedonistic, no wonder not to worry about dirty, anyway, not to wash themselves, naturally will not consider these, and they wear this dress is not only for good looks, after all, clothes represent a lot of things, even their own face, so it seems that there are some comparisons of the mind.
