Horse-face skirt originated in Han Dynasty and prevailed in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was one of the main dresses of ancient Han women. Horse-face skirt is named after the oblique pleats on both sides of its skirt, such as horse-face skirt.
The origin of horse-faced skirts can be traced back to the Song and Liao Dynasties. At that time, due to the needs of war and nomadic life, men's trousers were gradually accepted by women and became a part of women's daily wear. With the passage of time, women's trousers gradually evolved into the form of front and back separation, which is the predecessor of horse-face skirt. In the Ming dynasty, the horse-faced skirt was further developed and popular, and it became a kind of dress that women often wore.
The design and technology of horse-faced skirt in Ming Dynasty are very unique. It is made of silk, cotton and other fabrics, often with red as the main color, which means good luck. The skirt is loose and can flutter with the wind, showing elegance. At the same time, the waist of the horse face skirt is usually made of silk or ribbon, which can be adjusted freely and is more comfortable to wear.
In the Qing Dynasty, horse-faced skirts continued to be popular and gradually developed into a noble and gorgeous court dress. At this time, the horse face skirt has more exquisite production technology and more diversified patterns and colors. In order to pursue higher artistic effect, the horse-face skirt also adopts luxurious decorations such as embroidery and beading, showing a unique and gorgeous style. At the same time, the dress code of horse-face skirts is stricter, and women of different identities and occasions need to wear horse-face skirts of different styles and colors to reflect hierarchy and etiquette.
