The development of history

The vest originated in the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xi said in Interpretation of Famous Clothes: "Hips, one for the chest and the other for the back." The crotch is a waistcoat, which is more clearly stated in Wang Xianqian's Interpretation of Names and Certificates: "The case was half-backed in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and now it is called a waistcoat. When you are careful, you are also just. " Tsui Hark's "Qing Chao Yi" also said: "Half-arm, a famous embroidered skirt in the Han Dynasty, is today's vest, also known as vest." Thus, at least 2000 years ago, the vest appeared in the Han Dynasty.

China has many anecdotes about vests. According to the Southern History, in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xue Andou, the secretariat of Xuzhou, "dressed in a crimson crotch shirt, galloped into a thief array" to kill the enemy. "Historical Records" also describes the vest: "In the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, officials wore more clothes and a half coat, that is, long sleeves. Tang Gaozu shortened his sleeves to half an arm, and now he has a back. Between jianghuai or chuozi. Scholars fought for clothes, and the Sui Dynasty began to make them. This is a common name, also called vest. " It seems that Tang Gaozu Ethan is also an active advocate of vests.

Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, also loves to wear vests. He was demoted to Hainan Island for the crime of "slandering the imperial court" and returned to Changzhou. He was wearing a vest on his way home. This is described in Shao Bo's Shao Tinglu: "Dongpo returned to Piling from overseas and suffered from summer heat, wearing a small crown and a half arm. On a boat, he was transported by tens of millions of people along the river bank. "
