In addition to various forms, even accessories are dazzling. Next, the author will briefly talk about the costume culture of the Song Dynasty from several aspects.
1, Crown
A crown is an ornament worn on the head. It has been recorded since the Qin dynasty that women wear crowns, and there are many kinds of such crowns, such as hibiscus crowns and yellow Luo crowns. In the Song Dynasty, almost all women wore crowns, which was written in many Song Ci poems? Crown? Like this ornament? What is the deep blue cloud, jade and jade crown? Crown became the jewelry of the public, so there were many shops selling crowns on the market at that time, and even craftsmen repaired crowns, which shows the importance of crowns to women in the Song Dynasty.
There are many kinds of crowns in Song Dynasty, but most of them are made of iron wire and bamboo sticks, and the outside is decorated with Shameng and various beautiful ornaments. Girls wear the crown on the bun, which looks good. Since it is made of iron wire and bamboo strips, the crowns of the Song Dynasty naturally have different shapes, such as piled pillow crowns and group crowns. In addition to the difference in shape, it will also be different because of the different materials used, such as fish pillow crown and crystal crown.
Besides the crown itself, there are many different decorations on the crown. Noble women are naturally gold, silver and jade, and ordinary women can occasionally pick a flower on the roadside to become a crown decoration. On holidays, all kinds of small ornaments that conform to the festive atmosphere, such as willow branches and fluffy balls, will also become a great ornament in the crown.
2. hat
In the Song Dynasty, there were hats as well as crowns. At first, hats were used to keep out the cold, so they were usually made of animal fur. With the development of the times, hats have also appeared. Are they not used to keep out the cold? Shamao? In the Tang Dynasty, hats gradually changed from practical to ornamental.
In the Song Dynasty, women wore a hat with a high top and wide eaves when riding horses, which was called a curtain hat. Curtain caps were first born in the Tang Dynasty. They are usually wrapped around the brim with tulle, and aristocratic women will add a lot of decorations to them. The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival depicts the image of women wearing curtain caps.
3. Towels
In the Song Dynasty, scarves were mainly divided into three parts, namely headscarves, face clothes and wet wipes. Headscarves were first used on civilians, but gradually the nobles also used headscarves. Girls were not allowed to wear men's clothes in the Song Dynasty, so what did men wear? Shantou? Our headscarves are often used by women, but most of them are girls or opera singers.
Since a coat has a face, it naturally has something to do with it. A mask is a kind of cloth specially used to cover the face. At that time, there were mainly two kinds of face clothes, one was like a hood, and the other was a silk scarf, which made people unable to see a woman's face clearly. A trowel is a cloth belt that is tied on the forehead and can be used with other ornaments on the head.
4. clothes
The costumes of the Song Dynasty also followed the tradition of wearing a dress under a coat. Generally speaking, clothes in Song Dynasty are divided into shirts, coats, robes, dresses and so on. There are many kinds, rich and diverse, so I won't go into details here. First of all, unlined upper garment, which is a kind of coat, can be traced back to the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The shirt has only one layer, and there will be no lining inside, so it is very breathable.
Generally speaking, shirt cuffs are relatively large, and they are all double-breasted, but there are exceptions. For example, diagonal buttons shirts were very popular in the Ming Dynasty. The fabrics of blouses in Song Dynasty are generally light and light, and the colors are elegant.

There are two kinds of high-quality clothes: wide sleeves and narrow sleeves. The length of clothes is not specified and generally depends on personal preference.
In the Song Dynasty, many women wore Xunzi, from lowly women at the bottom to concubines in the harem, and even were finally included in the crown costume, becoming formal attire for public occasions such as sacrifices and weddings.
5. Shang
Generally speaking, there are not many kinds of dresses in Song Dynasty, mainly skirts and hems. It has been a popular tradition for women to wear skirts since the Han Dynasty. The reason why it is called a skirt is also exquisite. Generally speaking, the width of ancient fabrics is relatively narrow. It is not enough to make only one skirt, but also to cut it together. Because it is? Connection group service? , so called? A skirt? .
The dresses in the Song Dynasty were mostly Luo dresses, so they were called Luo skirts. Here, we can also see the developed degree of textile industry in Song Dynasty, because it is not a simple thing to make Luo. Generally, there are many skirts in the Song Dynasty, ranging from six to twelve, and the most can even reach as many as thirty. Moreover, the skirt in the Song Dynasty is pleated, and it looks good when you walk.
There are not only pleated skirts, but also one in the Song Dynasty? Rotating skirt? This skirt is open in front and back for women to ride donkeys.

The women's clothing culture in Song Dynasty is not just the above. The rich cultural background and strong national strength in Song Dynasty made women make great efforts in clothing, and these crowns also reflected the economic culture at that time from one side.
Generally speaking, the crown clothing of each era has not changed much. For example, skirts existed in the Han Dynasty, but each era will give it the imprint of that era, and the crown clothing of each era is different, which is also one of the most important reasons why people explore the crown clothing of different eras.
