Why do Japanese women carry a bag after wearing kimono and girding their waist?

For a long time, after Japanese women put on kimonos, the bags behind their clothes are very strange. Many people say it's a pillow, and there are many jokes about it, just like Wu Dalang's jokes. In fact, this kind of joke smacks of self-deception. National competition can not be won by these jokes, but really by comprehensive national strength. In fact, that kind of bag is called brocade knot, and you can see who is noble from the way of playing brocade knot.

1. Japanese kimono and China Hanfu belong to the same family.

Now, Japan claims that its history began in 660 BC. Here comes the problem. At that time, China was still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Japanese said that there was an emperor. I didn't believe this history for several days. It was in the Eastern Han Dynasty that the Japanese first dealt with the Central Plains Dynasty in China. At that time, Japan sent envoys to see Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. China slave Wang Jinyin presented by Liu Xiu is still a Japanese national treasure. There was no clothing culture in Japan at that time, and Japan learned from China in clothing. During the Three Kingdoms period, the Soochow regime had more contacts with Japan. The Japanese learned Hanfu from China, and these costumes were then called Wufu. Nowadays, the style of kimono worn by Japanese civilians is very similar to that of Hanfu in Han Dynasty, which is waist-length. This situation still exists, but we have broken it ourselves. People who know a little about Japanese culture will find that there is a great difference between Japanese nobles and civilians. It doesn't matter. It's a derivative of China Hanfu.

Japan is a country lacking in resources and has always wanted to expand abroad. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent troops to the Korean peninsula and was defeated by the Tang Dynasty. After that, Japan began to learn from the Tang Dynasty, and so it came to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty. Japan copied the experience of the Tang Dynasty in architecture, culture and clothing, and the planning of Kyoto City in Japan is similar to that of Chang 'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Japanese aristocrats began to learn from Tang Dynasty aristocrats, and the style of Hanfu in Tang Dynasty was widely adopted by Japanese aristocrats. At present, on that formal occasion, Japanese aristocrats basically wear round neck robes, which is a variant of China's round neck robes. By the way, the name Japan was also given by Emperor China, and Japan's original name was Japanese slave. To put it simply, Japanese nobles wore Hanfu derivatives made in the Tang Dynasty, while Japanese civilians wore Hanfu derivatives made in the Han Dynasty. This situation continues to this day.

Secondly, Japanese kimono also absorbs the characteristics of Korean and western costumes.

/kloc-Before the 6th century, Japanese women wore kimonos without anything at all, which can be confirmed by ancient Japanese paintings. This is the reason why the history of Japanese brocade knots is not long. At that time, Japan basically only conducted overseas trade with North Korea and China, and Korean women wore wide belts around their waists. This fashion gradually spread to Japan. Japanese women began to follow suit, and wide belts gradually replaced narrow belts. With the passage of time, western missionaries began to preach in Japan. These missionaries basically wear western-style robes with bows around their waists.

The Japanese thought it was so beautiful that many people began to imitate it. However, because the Japanese basically use wide belts, they can't work and work after tying bows. In order to facilitate our life, this bow was moved to the back of the waist, which is called brocade knot. Brocade gradually established its position and gave birth to Japan's unique brocade culture.

Nowadays, when Japanese women wear kimonos, they also wear brocade knots, which is a tradition. Moreover, the size and style of the knot are also stipulated. Those aristocratic families generally have their own special style of knots. You can tell which family they belong to by looking at the knots. At present, there are more than 230 patterns of knots. For civilians, as long as they are comfortable. But those nobles need to show their identity, so the pattern of brocade knots is more complicated and the cloth is more expensive. Some nobles pay attention to this, and the price of a kimono is tens of thousands of dollars.

In Japanese families, you don't have to wear kimonos at ordinary times, but you must have them at home. On formal occasions, you must wear a kimono to go out. Please note that some so-called kimonos in anti-Japanese war dramas are actually swimsuits, which the Japanese will never wear. Whatever you do needs to be serious, especially cultural competition. Making up jokes is nothing more than deceiving yourself.
