Tang dynasty clothing Continue Unified and prosperous China was founded in the Tang dynasty (618-907). In Chinese history, the Tang dynasty was a period when politics and the economy were well developed and culture and art flourished. The women's dress and the personal decorations of the Tang dynasty were excellent in Chinese history. The clothing materials were fine, the texture was natural, graceful and elegant, and the decorations were brilliant. Although the shapes of the garments were still a continuation of the Han dynasty (206BC-220AD) and the Sui dynasty (581-618), they were influenced by western cultures and arts. High Tang's national power in particular was strong. Trade and cultural exchanges with Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Persian and other countries gradually became more common, sending each other ambassadors and accepting students from other countries. In this way, a special open and romantic dress style and personal decorations were formed. Due to communication with the Western regions, the impact of the dress culture of other minorities on the Tang Court also reflected a change in ideas and concepts. Chinese women were severely constrained by the old Kungfutse or feudal ethical code throughout the ages. The social status of ancient women was very low: they often served under the nameJileren (music performer), Guanji (official performer), Gongji (palace performer) andJiaji (family performer), and were considered playful and goods that rich people can sell and buy. Some women had rebel spirit in the Tang dynasty, so they climbed or jumped over walls and went into the wild to watch beautiful scenes and/or go sightseeing in the spring riding horses with men. Just as many historical materials have recorded, some girls therefore dressed up as boys to go out. It was fashionable for women to wearHufu (tartale clothing or for those who lived in the western regions). After a high tango, the influences ofHufu gradually deteriorated and women's clothing became extensive and loose on a daily basis. The sleeve width of ordinary women's clothing was always more than 1.3 meters. After the reign of Tang Emperor Gaozong, purple was used as a garment color for officials above the third class; pink, officials above fifth grade; dark green, officials above sixth grade; light green civil servants, officials above the seventh grade; dark cyan, officials above eighth grade; light cyan, officials above the ninth class; and yellow, ordinary people and those who didn't live in the palace. The clothes of the Tang dynasty also had a major impact on the clothes of neighbouring countries. For example, japanese kimono embraced the Tang dynasty in terms of the elite colours of dresses, andHanbok (traditional Korean clothing) also embraced the benefits of dresses. Tang Dresses Dresses was mainly silk, so the dresses were famous for softness and vaping. The dresses of the Tang dynasty bravely adopted the characteristics of foreign clothing in terms of shapes and decorations; They mainly referred to clothing from other countries (such as central Asian countries, India, Iran, Persian, northern countries and western regions) and used them to improve the habilatorical culture of the Tang dynasty. China's Tang dynasty was the Chinese Imperial Dynasty 618-907. It was an era when art, culture and the economy were well developed and thriving. The features of Tang Dynasty clothing were unique and natural, showing the fineness and balance of people. The materials used for the clothes were elegant, sophisticated and beautiful and the decorations were stunning. Repeated contacts with the Western world influenced the way underage groups of the Tang period were dressed. This recently gave way to a remarkable and romantic mold in clothes and decorations. Garments made of silk, wool and linen were common, although the laws in force specified clothing and gemstones suitable for each social class. The poor made clothes with animal fur on them. The rough clothes were caused by people receiving lower orders. The color of the clothes also showed the value. Purple colored clothing was used by officials above the third grade; the pink was intended for officials above fifth grade; dark green was confined to the sixth grade and above the officials; the light green was intended only for officials above the seventh grade; the dark cyan was exclusive to officials above eighth grade; Light cyan clothing adorns officials above the ninth grade. Ordinary people and all those who did not live in the palace were allowed to wear yellow colored clothes. In addition to color restrictions, all first-class officials had to use a sword or knife, while third-class officials and generals could be identified because they had to wear jade belts, fourth and fifth place were identified by their gold belts, while sixth- and seventh-grade officials separated the silver belts. Instead, ordinary people were allowed to use a small bronze or iron knife. It was considered a women's style to wear Hufu, which was in western areas by residents. The suits were low, and the waistband was high. Women's common clothes consist of short shirts or jackets with half sleeves and long skirts; or loose sleeveless shirts with long skirts and scarves. The hair of this era was shaped to cover the temples and outline the face. It was also reeled in a bun and called a cloud bun, a staring gods flower bun, etc. It allowed them to put bamboo hats on.

In the 1920s, for example, Cheongsam was fashionable among socialite and upper-class women; [1] In the 1960s there were very harsh clothing styles; today, a wide variety of fashion is used. There are also different clothing styles in different provinces and regions of China. In the Qin and Han dynasties, women usually wore loose clothes with long, large sleeves. Under the long skirt were a pair of high-heeled logs, usually embroidered. The noble woman's arm was usually wrapped with a scarf called Jinguo (⼱帼), while ordinary or poor women had no decoration on their arms. Over time, the coat was usually shorter and the skirt lengthened. Noble females even needed the help of maids to lift skirts to prevent skirts from discoloring the ground. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the trend for women's clothing was to be more open. Small-sleeved coats, usually made of yarn, skirts that were still long, wide and long scarves were what was often used. They were able to reveal their body parts above their chests. Such a fabric could show the beauty of women better. Other clothing popular at the time was big-sleeved, short chest shirts and long and light skirts. The women's outfit of the Song dynasty (960 - 1279) stood out from men's clothing by attaching to the left, not the right. The women were wearing long dresses or blouses that almost came to the ankle. They also wore skirts and jackets with short or long sleeves. Walking outside the road and along the side, wealthy women decided to wear square purple scarves around their shoulders. [2] Traditional clothing styles Banb's portrait of China's Ming dynasty.
