Section 5 Song Dynasty Costumes

I took out a large stack of modern books from the time machine recently, and I took out a random book about life in the Song Dynasty and read it with great interest. I saw that the life of the Song people was introduced in great detail www.biquge.info and comprehensively. This is thanks to the feudal superstition of the ancients, so many years have passed, my long-abandoned time machine has been well protected, and the locals have specially built a high temple to shelter it from the wind and rain, and it is even more smoky and fired, incense is continuous, a prosperous and peaceful atmosphere. So when I need it from time to time, I go over and take what I need.

I saw that the book was written in black and white on the women's makeup of the Song Dynasty - it turned out that the women's hairstyle of the Song Dynasty was fashionable in a high bun. "Some young women have hairpins that are more than a foot high, some are combed into a sky-high bun, some use wigs to weave into various styles and wear them on their heads, some use gold, silver, beads and emeralds to make hairpins of various flowers and birds, and insert them into the buns, and some use lacquer yarn, gold, silver, jade, etc. to make high crowns with two temples hanging down the shoulders. The aristocratic women of the Song Dynasty used Luo, silk, gold, jade, and tortoiseshell to make peaches, apricots, lotuses, chrysanthemums, plums and other flowers, and hairpins were placed on the buns. When the flowers of the four seasons are combined and embedded in the crown, it is called a year's scene. It is said that at that time, the officials of the imperial court were also influenced by the practice of flower arrangement, and the emperor and ministers also wore flowers. The women of the Song Dynasty also liked to wear real flowers, with peony and peony as the most. They wear purple clothes and hairpins with white flowers, goose yellow clothes with purple flowers, and red clothes with hairpins and yellow flowers. Nao'e is a kind of headdress for women, cut into a butterfly shape with black gold paper and dyed with vermilion powder. Yumei is a plum blossom made of white silk. Snow willow is a spring flower branch made of paper or silk. There is also a kind of plum blossom makeup, it is said that when the princess of Shouyang of the Northern and Southern Dynasties lies under the juniper of Hanzhang Hall on the seventh day of the first month, the plum blossom falls on her forehead, the ladies feel very beautiful, and compete to follow suit, draw plum on the forehead, so the plum blossom makeup is popular, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is still prevalent in the Song Dynasty. This Song Dynasty women's clothing Song Dynasty women wore jackets in winter and shirts in summer, and their clothing was characterized by light and bright bottoms. The color of the upper skirt is generally light green, pink purple, silver gray, green onion white, etc., and the color of the lower skirt is generally green, blue, green, blue, white, apricot yellow, etc. Women go out or get married with hijabs on their heads. There are two kinds of hijabs, one is modified from the Tang Dynasty hood. The other is a large silk scarf, mostly red, which is used to cover the face when getting married and entering the cave room. Yes, this trend has continued into modern society, and it is still used in many Chinese weddings. Young men and women in the Song Dynasty often gave each other sachets and belts as skews and belts as souvenirs. Sachets, which are pouches containing spices, and sachets, which are ribbons, are ribbons. ”

As I read it, I couldn't help but feel moved, and my imagination came to me: "Oh, it turns out that these girls in the Great Song Dynasty are dressed up better than us modern girls." Originally, I thought that there are many kinds of cosmetics in modern society, dazzling, and the makeup skills are skillful, and the girls have been dressed up in a fancy way, beautiful, but I didn't expect that the women of the Great Song Dynasty have leisure and leisure, and they can dress themselves so wantonly, so many beautiful decorations are embellished among them, and they feel beautiful when they think about it. But think about it carefully, the dress of the girls mentioned above is still roughly consistent with our life in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a pity that the poor countryside here, the poor mountains and bad waters, the vast majority of women here are coarse cloth skirts, there is no gorgeous crown, after all, it is not as exquisite as those women in the prosperous capital, rich and noble, their dress is naturally not as gorgeous as depicted in the book, but the flowers on their heads are a hundred flowers, beautiful, not to be left behind, oops, the ancient traffic is inconvenient, these many years have been staying here, when can I have the opportunity to go to the capital, open my eyes, feast my eyes on it。 ”

"By the way, this book also describes in detail the costumes of the handsome guys of the Great Song Dynasty, let me carefully screen it and see if this is actually the case?" I suddenly had a wonderful idea - "If I can smoothly return to modern society, I can also have a complete collection of Song Dynasty costumes, which is really obtained through field investigations, well-documented, well-documented, more comprehensive than those authors who have been separated by thousands of years, hearsay, and much more real." ”

I saw that the emperor's dress was written on it first: "The emperor's costume in the Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty and included a large fur crown, a crown, a crown of heaven, a silk robe, a robe of shoes, a robe of shirts, and a narrow robe." This is the clothing of worship, court, pro-farming, inspection, and swallow residence. The crown of Tongtian in the Song Dynasty is different from the crown of Tongtian in the Tang Dynasty, although it is also twenty-four beams, plus Jin Boshan, but it is made of gold or tortoiseshell in the shape of a cicada embedded in the crown, the height and width of the crown are one foot, and the surface is green and red. ”

"There are three main kinds of crowns in the Song Dynasty: one is the crown of Jinxian, which is made of lacquered cloth, and there are forehead flowers with gold and silver on the crown. There is a scarf after the crown to show loyalty. The second is the sable crown, also called the cage scarf, woven with rattan silk, the surface is painted, square, the left and right are woven into two pieces of cicada wing shape with fine rattan silk, there are silver flowers in front, tortoiseshell cicadas are decorated on the top, there are three small cicadas on the left and right, the jade nose, and the left mink tail. It is said that the mink takes its internal strength and the external warmth, and the cicada takes its high and clean food. The third is the crown of the pig, that is, the crown, the crown is coated with blue powder, and the number of beams depends on the grade.

It was the main first uniform of officials in the Song Dynasty. From the emperor to the officials, between the court meeting and the public seat, they often wear official clothes and hats. This kind of bun is mostly woven with rattan or straw in the inside and yarn on the outside, and painted. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has improved its head, with straight feet as the most, at first the two feet are straight and spread left and right, and later the two feet are stretched and lengthened. The literati of the Song Dynasty mostly regarded scarves as their elegant view. Dongpo scarf is said to have been worn by Su Dongpo, a writer in the Song Dynasty. This kind of towel has four walls, and there is a heavy wall outside the wall, which is slightly narrower than the inner wall, and the front and back are at angles to each other, and it is worn with horns, between the eyebrows. The literati of the Song Dynasty wore Dongpo scarves as elegant. In addition, there are Cheng Zi towels, valley towels, Xiaoyao scarves and so on. All officials of the sixth rank or higher wore a gold or silver fish bag around their waists, indicating the difference in rank. The leather belt of the official marks the level of the position. The emperor and crown prince used jade belts, and the ministers used gold belts. ”

The civilian costumes can be seen from the famous painting "Qingming Riverside Picture" in the Northern Song Dynasty. It depicts in detail the life of residents of all walks of life in the Qingming Dynasty in Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, reflecting the customs and habits of the people at that time, which is quite accurate and testable. Some Li people are busy wearing scarves, jackets, and pants, and some people are running around with hats, shirts, and pants. "Tokyo Menghualu" also describes the clothing of the Bianliang people in the Northern Song Dynasty: those who sell medicine and hexagram all have crowns and belts, and scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants have their own true colors, some wear hats and backs, some wear shirts and horn belts, and some do not wear hats. Men in the Song Dynasty mainly wore round-necked robes on their upper bodies, and wore skirts on their lower bodies. The literati of the Song Dynasty mostly wore straight-collared shirts, knee-length, yellow clothes, square shoes, and large belts during courtesy.

The book recorded in detail - "The army wore armor when the army of the Song Dynasty fought. The armor was embellished with metal sheets to protect the body. The full armor is divided into a shawl, a body, a leg skirt, a hood, a hood, a curtain, etc., which are threaded by leather threads. A pair of iron armor, some weighing about forty-nine pounds. In addition, leather battle clothes are called leather hats, leather armor, as well as battle jackets, battle robes, etc. The armor of the Song Dynasty is also made of extremely flexible paper, the paper armor started in the time of Tang Xuanzong, it is hammered with a very flexible paper processing, stacked three inches thick, and four nails are clothed between the square inches, and the rain is more solid, and the arrows are difficult to penetrate. Monk Taoism Buddhism was introduced to China during the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism went hand in hand. Taoism flourished in Buddhism during the Song Dynasty. According to Buddhist regulations, the clothing of Buddhist monks is limited to three or five clothes. There are three garments, including Sangha pear (a coat sewn from nine to twenty-five strips of cloth), Uttara monk (a tunic sewn from seven strips of cloth), and an Anta Hui (a garment sewn from five strips of cloth). Five clothes, refers to the addition of three clothes to the monk branch (shoulder cover) and Nirvana monk (skirt). Ancient Chinese monks wore red robes. A robe, a vestment made of many small rectangular pieces of cloth. In order to express their asceticism, monks often pick up old pieces of cloth discarded by others and wash them and put them together, also known as baina clothes. Dharma clothes are worn by Taoist monks when they hold ceremonies, precepts, and fasting altars, including xia clothes, clean clothes, etc. Taoist priests often wear zodiac robes, which are called small and large shirts, and most of them are crossed with slanted collars. They often tie green knots, soap silk, and wear straw shoes. The Taoist priests of the Song Dynasty maintained the shape of the ancient jacket and the hairpin crown. ”

I was full of praise and thoughtfulness: "Wow, the knowledge written on this is so comprehensive, it opened my eyes, fortunately, in order to better understand the Song Dynasty, I deliberately went all the way to the Xinhua Bookstore in the center of the city, and selected these slightly obscure books." I didn't expect that when I had nothing to do in ancient times, it was very interesting to look at it, and I also made up a lot of historical knowledge in my brain. The most important thing is that these books are generally similar to the dress of the ancients that we have heard and seen in ancient times, but there are slight differences in some small details. Because time has passed silently for thousands of years, many things can only be falsely spread, and finally made false into reality, so the authenticity of history is not necessarily true, because the knowledge of every historical event comes from the books left by predecessors, word of mouth, and even just the silhouette projection of individual vague fragments. Therefore, the authenticity of historical evidence only exists at that time, and only those who really existed at that time can really know the history of that time. Someone has said that history is like a little girl who can be dressed up as she pleases. However, on the whole, it is still accurate and detailed, and it is a rare good book, which gives me a deeper understanding and understanding of all aspects of life in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
