What are the characteristics of clothing patterns in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties?

Clothing patterns in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, It can be found in the literature that there are Dadengdeng, Xiaodengdeng, Daboshan, Xiaoboshan, Daming Guang, Xiaoming Guang, Da cornus, Xiao cornus, Dajiaolong, Xiaojiaolong, Putao Wenjin, Banwenjin, Phoenix Brocade, Suzaku Brocade, Taowenjin, Walnut Brocade (see Lu Xu's Ye Zhong Ji), Yunkunjin and Lieye.

From these brocade names, it can be seen that some patterns are inherited from the tradition of the Eastern Han Dynasty, while others are the result of absorbing foreign cultures, such as Lianzhu Peacock Luo.

According to the textile objects unearthed in various places during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the patterns of murals in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, the traditional patterns of the Eastern Han Dynasty are not as exquisite as those of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which means that the cloud patterns of animals in the Eastern Han Dynasty have declined and become obsolete. Instead, the clothing patterns can be summarized into the following types:

1. Traditional Chinese mountain cloud animal patterns

This kind of patterns prevailed in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the dense flowing variant mountains and clouds were divided into bold and realistic animals, and auspicious words were embedded in them. For example, in a batch of clothes unearthed in the Niya site in Minfeng, Xinjiang in 1995, there was a mountain cloud animal pattern brocade with the inscription "Five Stars Out of the East and Benefit China".

2. The geometric skeleton is composed of circles, squares, diamonds and symmetrical wavy lines, and animal patterns or mosaic patterns are filled in the geometric skeleton

Although such patterns existed in the Han Dynasty, they did not become the most important decorative form.

Moreover, the animal patterns filled in the Han Dynasty are vivid, while the animal patterns filled in the Southern and Northern Dynasties are mostly arranged symmetrically, with little movement, and most of them are decorative postures.

Most of the mosaic patterns filled in the Han Dynasty are radial symmetry, while those filled in the Southern and Northern Dynasties have foreign decorative themes such as honeysuckle pattern.

3. The sacred tree pattern

is to simplify the tree shape into a shape close to the face of a leaf, which has the characteristics of the decorative pattern of the ancient * * * country. Later, after the establishment of the * * * religion in the early 7th century, the sacred tree became a symbol of the sacred character of * * *.

4. Heavenly King Metamorphosis Patterns

The patterns are composed of lotus flowers, busted Buddha statues and the words "Heavenly King". According to Buddhism, there are four heavenly kings at the end of the six days of desire. If mortals can painstakingly cultivate themselves, they can become Buddhas after death.

5. Small geometric patterns, honeysuckle pattern, small flower patterns

Small and medium-sized geometric patterns combined with circles and dots, and honeysuckle pattern. These patterns have excellent adaptability to daily use and have a deep influence on later clothing patterns.

in terms of form, it was also unprecedented in the Qin and Han dynasties.

Its popularity should be related to the influence of "Hufu" in the western regions.
