Pay attention to the jukan and increase awareness
We live in an era of civilization and openness, and in the hot summer, everyone will wear as little clothing as possible. However, no matter how simplified the clothing is, it is definitely necessary to wear underwear inside. When it comes to panties, they have a long history. Initially, people didn't realize the importance of wearing underwear, and the underneath was a "vacuum".
With the passage of time, rayon, polyester, lycra, lace, lace, leopard print and other materials of underwear and different styles of fabrics came into being, and designers opened their minds to develop the style of underwear to an unprecedented extent. These panties are not only for privacy, but also for style and comfort.
In 1935, the first pair of briefs appeared on the market and were quickly welcomed by consumers. Since then, briefs have taken the world by storm. Not only that, but there are also various special shapes of underwear such as boxers and boxers, which are loved by different people. The appearance of these underwear has undoubtedly enriched our lives and allowed us to have more choices in dressing.
The evolutionary history of underwear
In costume TV series, it is not difficult for us to find that the belly pockets in ancient times rarely reached below the waist, but only the intimate clothing of the upper body. So, what kind of intimate clothing did women wear on the lower half of their bodies in ancient times? According to the book "Zhou Yi Fanlu", women in ancient times usually did not wear pants, or even underwear. The reason for this, according to the book, the ancients believed that the beauty of women lies in being slim and elegant, and that they are consistent. The underwear may have trouser tubes, and once a woman wears them, her feet are bound to be divergent, which is not elegant. Therefore, women in ancient times generally wore long robes, which are known as Hanfu.
Another reason is that in ancient times, the level of productivity was limited, and the trouser making process was complex and required a lot of time and effort. Hanfu is a ceremonial system, and its existence is more to highlight identity and status. Therefore, in order to maintain the elegance and solemnity of women, they generally choose to wear a long robe, which is without pants.
Tops and bottoms
Humans slowly developed from hairy and blood-drinking savages to tribal gathering societies. In primitive societies, the ancients did not have any concept of dressing, and they were "vacuum-dressed" every day. With the changes of the times, people began to have the concept of clothing during the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods. There is such a passage in "The Century of Emperors": "The Yellow Emperor began to wear leather clothes, for the top to be like the sky, for the bottom to be like the earth." "There were trousers underneath, but the early trousers had no waist or crotch, only two legs, which were put on the legs, and the upper end was tied with a rope knot around the waist. Women of this period wore long robes that were tightly wrapped so that no part of their bodies was exposed.
It was only in the Han Dynasty that women began to wear "open crotch pants". "Hanshu: The Biography of Empress Shangguan" said: "Although the palace people make orders are all poor, there are many of them. The so-called "poor hakama" is a kind of close-fitting pants without a crotch.
Unearthed trousers
After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a more practical form of trousers, the crotch pants, began to gradually replace the hakama, which only kept the legs warm. This shift not only improved in terms of practical functionality, but also reflected the pursuit of fashion in that era. With the advent of the Tang Dynasty, women riding horses became more common, and as a result, wearing trousers was seen as a fashionable act.
"Shuowen Jie Zi" said that Fuyu country "has no hakama, uses silk as the shin hollow, and uses the wool to supplement the core, and the name is tasseled clothes". That is, wrap cotton wool in a soft cloth and tie it in the crotch.
In the Song Dynasty, crotch pants and open crotch pants began to be organically combined. Under the influence of Cheng Zhu Lixue, women in the Song Dynasty became more conservative. The halterneck underwear they wear, because of its unique design and name, is clearly different from the modern bandeau top. The bandeau is more like a small belly pocket, and the back part is a backless outfit.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, pants gradually replaced the hakama and locomb and became the mainstream wear. In the Qing Dynasty, women wore belly pockets made of a small diamond-shaped cloth. The straps of this small cloth are tied around the neck, and the two straps on the left and right sides of the waist are tied around the back, and the bottom is in an inverted triangle shape, which is standard to cover the lower abdomen over the navel. This is what we usually call a belly pocket.

With the passage of time, in the modern era of the Republic of China, with the entry and spread of Western civilization, pants and underwear in the modern sense began to gradually become popular. In the process, underwear has gradually become lighter and more beautiful, and people have begun to consider fabrics and safety issues more when choosing colors and shapes. This is not only a change in clothing style, but also a reflection of the improvement of people's quality of life.
Modern panties illustrated
In ancient societies, women's clothing was very restricted. However, with the progress of society and the improvement of women's status, women's clothing has also begun to change. Some women are starting to opt for more freedom and comfort, such as wearing loose-fitting pants or shorts in the form of panties. These ways of dressing not only make women more confident and free, but also become a popular fashion trend in modern society.
We should also be aware of some traditional cultural requirements and restrictions on women's clothing. Although these requirements and restrictions have their historical background and cultural origins, they also need to be re-examined and rethought in modern society. Only when we combine traditional culture with modern society can we better promote the development and progress of society.
I have to say that the trend is really a very interesting thing! whether to wear underwear or not, what to wear, the choice of history is always interesting, and with the change of the times, the role of underwear has also changed subtly. If you're kidding, maybe the era of not wearing underwear is coming again, right?
