Kesaya worn by Thai monks is called yellow robe.
Therefore, Thailand is also known as the "yellow robe Buddha country"
Among the Buddhists in Thailand, some families have been sent to temples since childhood in order to increase their children's qualifications to become monks and gain a good reputation in society. Some of them are poor children, because in temples, they can not only practice, but also study and save money. As a result, the ranks of monks, old and young, formed a mighty army of beggars, which was really beautiful. They wore yellow robes, bareheaded and barefoot, and carried bowls, shuttling between merchants and residents in urban and rural streets. Devout Buddhists, every family leaves clean meals at the door for them to eat. However, don't give money when you meet a monk. Women can't touch monks when they give things. They want to put things in the monk's yellow robe, or give them to the monk by a man, otherwise it is "unclear between men and women", which is the "* * *" between Thai monks and monks from other countries. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties in ancient China, the king had no clear rules about what color clothes to wear. According to the Book of Rites, during the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou Dynasties, "the son of heaven was in charge of Tsing Yi". During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were constant disputes among vassal states, and robes were even more varied. After entering the feudal society, not all the "dragon robes" worn by emperors were yellow. The first emperor, Qin Shihuang, wore a black robe. Because Qin Shihuang believed in the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, he believed that Xia was the virtue of wood, Yin was the virtue of gold, Zhou was the virtue of fire, Yin replaced Xia as Jin Kemu, Zhou replaced Yin Shang as the gold of fire, and Qin replaced Zhou Dynasty, so water was the fire of fire. According to the theory of yin-yang and five elements, the east is wood and the color is blue; The south is fire and the color is red; The west is golden and white; The water in the north is black; The center is khaki. So in the Qin Dynasty, "clothes and banners were still black."
The robes of the Western Han Dynasty mainly follow the characteristics of the robes of the Qin Dynasty: "Take water as virtue and black as clothing." When I arrived at Liu Heng, Emperor of Chinese, I began to abandon black. "Chinese emperor fifteen years, take yellow; Sixteen years, serving red. " According to Records of Historical Records of Emperor Xiaowen, this is due to Liu Heng's belief that the Han Dynasty should be "associated with fire morality". When I arrived in the Jin Dynasty, I turned to Jin De, and red was the most expensive, so the imperial robes of the Jin Dynasty were all red. However, the "yellow robe" officially became a symbol of imperial power, which began with the Chen Qiao mutiny in Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu. In 959, Zhou Shizong's Chai Rong collapsed and eight-year-old Zhou Gongdi Chai Zongxun succeeded him. In front of the temple, Zhao Kuangyin, who was inspecting and returning to Germany, seized the military power. In 960, on the first day of the first month, there was a rumor that Qidan soldiers would attack Zhou from the south and command the army to resist the enemy from the north. When he went to see Chen Qiaoyi, people in Zhao Kuangyin dressed him in a yellow robe prepared in advance, bowed down to the ground and called him the emperor. When I arrived in Zhaozhen, Song Renzong, it was also stipulated that ordinary people were not allowed to wear yellow robes or make patterns. Since then, not only the yellow robe is unique to the emperor, but also the yellow robe is unique to the emperor.
