Why did Tang Dynasty dress up as a man?

This paper comprehensively refers to three books: Dialysis of Women's Wearing Men's Wear in Tang Dynasty, Research on Women's Wearing Men's Wear in Tang Dynasty and Analysis of the Unique Phenomenon of Women's Wearing Men's Wear in Tang Dynasty, and answers them from several aspects.

I think one is the social atmosphere. In the Tang Dynasty, women had a higher status and were more open-minded, so their clothes were not restricted by anyone, nor did they say that women needed to cover their faces when they went out. Even some competitions, such as polo, including wading, can be attended by women. In the long history of China, the status of women in the Tang Dynasty should have reached its peak.

The other is influenced by the upper class. It was very popular to wear riding boots and hats in the emperor's harem at that time. All the concubines looked very handsome, including the emperor's daughter. Princess Taiping liked men's clothes dancing at banquets, but he never accused her and laughed at why she was not a military attache. Another point is the culture of Hu people, which is linked with Chinese culture. When she arrived at the Queen Mother's side, she was a conference semifinal, and her clothes were masculine, so she also led the concubines, and this phenomenon would eventually appear.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was common for women to wear men's clothes. In addition to Princess Taiping, Xiao E also dressed in men's clothing to avenge her father and wandered between rivers and lakes. In order to avoid Su Yang, Hong Fu also put on her battle dress, rode on the battlefield and galloped away.

Including the figurines unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, many of them were disguised as men. In Tang Gaozu's daughter's tomb, there are women figurines riding horses and shooting arrows, dressed in men's clothes, very heroic. Including Wei Mausoleum and Princess Yongtai's Tomb, these aristocratic women have many female figurines in men's clothes.

On the other hand, many girls in our society like to dress cool and dress up as boys, because our society has a high level and men and women are equal. At that time, although it was not like now, women also had some autonomy. ?
