In ancient times, it generally referred to long gowns worn by the people of Manchuria, Mongolia.  In the early years of the Qing Dynasty (16441911), long gowns featured collarless, narrow sleeves in the shape of a horse's hoof, buttons down the left front, four slits and a fitting waist. For thousands of years, traditional Chinese family structure was strictly patriarchal, with the father or eldest male as the head of the household as well as provider and guide. Women had little power in the family system, and the patriarch held absolute authority. Both tradition and laws upheld this patriarchal structure. Yang, Shaorong.

Han Chinese Clothing, Tangzhuang and Cheongsam are the representatives. As a vital part of Chinese civilization, traditional clothing plays an important role in the country's history and culture. Their basic features are cross-collar, wrapping the right lapel over the left, tying with sash and a form of blouse plus skirt or long gown. These features have been preserved for thousands of years till the time of the Republic of China (1912 â“ 1949AD), when Chinese Tunic Suit (Mao Suit) and cheongsam prevailed. Nowadays, however, most Chinese wear modern clothes in their daily lives, not much difference from their western counterparts.

  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

COMPARING SARTORIAL INDICES: COSTUME AND COURTLY CULTURE IN MING CHINA AND MUGHAL INDIA Anu Shree Murali Undergraduate Student, Gargi College, Delhi University, New Delhi, India [email protected] Vidita Gupta Undergraduate Student, Gargi College, Delhi University, New Delhi, India [email protected] Abstract Mughal India and Ming China, two of the greatest empires in medieval Asia, were successful in influencing the cultures of their respective territories and beyond. Although the two empires differed on many grounds like art, society, environment etc., there are nonetheless striking similarities between the two. These similarities are often overshadowed and neglected because of the differences. One such similarity is the clearly defined social hierarchy in the society, articulated explicitly in the functioning of the court, of both these empires. An individual’s attire in Ming China clearly reflected his/her position in the courtly hierarchy. Building on this, we tried to look at the role played by attire in establishing social rank in an equally powerful and hierarchical empire of the Mughals in India.

  • Trabajo Final De Gra Do
    TRABAJO FINAL DE GRA DO DISEÑO S DE MODA INSPIRADOS EN EL ESTILO CHINOISERIE Presentado por Pan Xinyun Tutor: Rodrigo Pérez Galindo Facultat de Belles Arts de San Carles Grado en Bellas Artes Curso 201 3-2014 Y Diseños de moda inspirados en el estilo chinoiserie. Pan Xinyun 2 RESUMEN Y PALABRAS CLAVES. El presente trabajo final de Grado en Bellas Artes consiste en una reflexión personal sobre el diseño de moda inspirado por la indumentaria tradicional china y su evolución a lo largo de los siglos y las dinastías que han gobernado China y que han ejercido gran influencia en la sociedad de cada época, en lo que a vestimenta se refiere. Esta reflexión personal ha sido materializada en forma de diversos diseños de indumentaria con características propias del estilo oriental. Tanto los diseñadores occidentales como los orientales han hecho a lo largo de la historia diseños similares inspirados en el ¨orientalismo¨ o más concretamente de estilo “chinoiserie ”. Tomando como referencia sus colecciones así como los estilos de moda que han tenido éxito a lo largo de la historia de China, se ha elaborado una colección de indumentaria que incluye tanto elementos tradicionales de la cultura asiática como diseños contemporáneos y actuales de acuerdo a las necesidades del presente mercado tanto asiático como occidental. Defino mi colección como parte exclusiva del llamado Prêt-à-porter (listo para llevar), de buena calidad y hecha a medida pero que tiene como objetivo principal el poder llegar al público, puesto que no olvidemos que el objetivo central del proyecto es difundir este tipo de diseño.
