Introduction to Mongolian costumes in Xilin Gol
National costumes are the crystallization of a nation's wisdom, which not only reflects the aesthetic taste of a nation, but also reflects the nation's absorption and innovation of other ethnic costume cultures. The colorful costumes of the Mongolian nation have a profound national historical and cultural heritage, and are an inseparable and important part of the traditional culture of the Mongolian nation.
The Mongolian Yuan period was an important period for the new development of Mongolian national costume culture. After the Northern Yuan Dynasty, due to the emergence of agriculture in the grassland areas and the spread of Tibetan Buddhism, this was also reflected in the costume culture. In the late Yuan Dynasty, the distinctive costumes of the Mongol tribes began to form. After the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the end of Manchu rule and the decline of Mongol feudal power, the dress hierarchy tended to disappear, and the costumes of the nobles and the common people began to merge with each other.
The characteristics of the national costumes of the Xilin Gol League are relatively complete. The characteristics of their clothing are basically the same, but there are also differences. Mongolian costumes are known for their wide robes and wide belts, and their colors are bright and rich, which fully shows the warm, fierce and bold character of the Mongolian people, hats, robes, belts, boots and jewelry are the 5 main parts, and they are contrasted with the rich national customs, natural and rich in connotation.
Hats, Mongolians wear leather hats in winter, single hats or turbans in summer, and do not wear hats or headscarves when participating in social etiquette activities. The Mongol hats come in a variety of styles, and the hats of each tribe have their own characteristics.
Jewelry is an ornament that Mongolian women must wear during the New Year's Festival or when visiting relatives and friends. It can be roughly divided into five categories: headdress, necklace, chest, waist, hand and so on. Among them, the headdress is the most gorgeous part of it.
Mongolian robes are robes that Mongolian men, women and children of all year round love to wear, wearing cotton robes in spring and autumn, jacket robes in summer, and leather robes in winter. This is a unique dress formed during a long period of nomadic life. Men's robes are generally relatively large, showing exuberance and heroism. Most are blue and brown. Women's robes are tighter to show women's slimness and bodybuilding. Mostly red, green, and purple.
The belt is an indispensable part of Mongolian clothing, the material is generally cotton, satin, four to six meters long, the color is mostly in harmony with the color of the robe. Wearing a belt is both windproof and cold-proof, as well as stable when riding a horse, and is also a beautiful decoration.
Mongolian boots are divided into two kinds of cloth boots and leather boots, most of which are leather boots, also known as fragrant cowhide boots, with a wide body and can be covered with cotton socks and felt socks.
