The difference between ancient Tang costume and modern Tang costume

Tang suit is a costume of China, but it has two different meanings and styles.

First of all, it refers to Tang costume or Tang costume, which is a style in ancient costume system, characterized by round neck, right collar, lace, no buttons or cloth buttons.

Representatives include chest-length skirts, Tang-style round neck robes and cross-collared skirts.

The second is the improved double-breasted coat, which was the daily dress of Han people from the middle of Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.

Tang Dynasty costumes are mainly divided into: 1) Yi skirt 2) Tang Dynasty big sleeve shirt 3) Shantou 4) Narrow round neck 5) Half arm 6) Improved Tang Dynasty costumes (Tang Dynasty costumes).

"Modern Tang costume" comes from the double-breasted coat of Qing Dynasty, and has nothing to do with the costume of Tang Dynasty or Tang people.

According to Ms. Yu Ying, the chief designer of the Tang suit worn by APEC heads of state, "Tang suit" should be a general term for China clothes. Therefore, when the design team discussed the name of the suit after designing it, the process of deciding to name it "Tang suit" was deeply influenced by the explanation of "export to domestic sales".

This kind of "Tang suit" evolved from the coat of Han nationality in Qing Dynasty, and its style and structure have four characteristics: one is standing collar, the front center of the coat is open and the collar is vertical;

The second is the sleeve, that is, the sleeve and the clothes are seamless as a whole, and the plane cutting is the main method;

Third, it is a pair of lapels, or it can be an oblique lapel;

The fourth type is the right-angle buckle, which is the coil buckle, which consists of two parts: the knot and the button.

In addition, in terms of fabrics, brocade fabrics are mainly used.

This "Tang costume" is not the costume of the Tang Dynasty, but the improved costume of the Han nationality.

Manchu costumes originally did not stand up.
