Chapter 57: The Concept of Hanfu Culture Dissemination
"Ruan Ji lost his father at the age of three and his family was poor. However, he was eager to learn and motivated. He advocated Confucianism in his early years. Later, he was disappointed with reality and felt that life was impermanent. Therefore, he adopted an angry attitude of despising etiquette and law, and turned to the Taoist ideology with the purpose of hidden world."
"Many people say that Ruan Ji is a rebellious person, and his clothes are controversial, so this is also the reason why many people disagree with Hanfu during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Of course, this is only a small part, and more of the collision of ideas and culture at that time, which led to their dissatisfaction and anger with those in power, but helpless."
"Actually, those who study Chinese language and literature should know that after four great ethnic integrations in history, I became today's Han nationality. That is, a nation with Han culture as its thoughts, and is called Han nationality."
"The first period was the Spring and Autumn Period and China, and the second period was the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Its characteristic is that ethnic migration occurred, with a small number of Han people going to ethnic minorities, while some ethnic minorities going to Central Plains."
"This fusion is not just about intermarriage between ethnic minorities, but also brings their lifestyles, clothing, and some habits. Therefore, the Wei, Jin and Han fu are composed of other elements."
"The current Wei and Jin style mostly refers to the style of wide-sleeved or narrow-sleeved Hanfu cross-collar tops wrapped in skirts. This style is the orthodox form of Hanfu, and evidence such as cultural relics and murals can be found. It is not the clothing of the studio or the speculation of merchants."
"Is the Wei and Jin style a means for merchants to seek benefits?" He Hao asked.
"When merchants practiced the Wei and Jin style, they were just to seek benefits. If they had no benefits, they would not do it, because merchants, merchants, and businessmen, have no business without profit, and have been like this from ancient times to the present. In fact, many modern people have admitted that the clothing of the Wei and Jin period was Hanfu, but they have doubts about the Wei and Jin style. We generally call it Jian'an style and Wei and Jin style, and the Wei and Jin style was not proposed in textbooks. Of course, textbooks do not have the standard standard of Hanfu. It can only be said that they are very disgusted with the Wei and Jin style in the way of seeking benefits, so they deny it."
"I still have doubts. What they said about the existence of the Wei, Jin and Hanfu, that is, where did murals and culture appear?"
Yang Liusu smiled: "Wei and Jin clothing continues the traditional characteristics of Eastern Han clothing. The large cross bun unearthed from the northern Wei Dynasty of Caochangpo, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, painted female figurines wearing narrow-sleeved shirts and skirts, and the murals of the Wei and Jin tombs of Dingjiazha are all reflected in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Of course, many people think that the orthodox Hanfu of the Wei and Jin Dynasties is a Jin robe, and that kind of top is a cross-collar, large sleeve shirt, and Hanfu does not have this standard."
"So is this a Hanfu style?"
"In fact, it is indeed the Hanfu system, because this is only one of the Hanfu system in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. After all, there is no way to have only one Hanfu system. Just like the current improved version of Hanfu, Jinru and this form are both Hanfu. It is just a kind of Hanfu called the Empress of the Palace, and the other is to want to become the concubines of the Empress of the Palace. In the final analysis, they are all the concubines of the Emperor."
"Why do many people always like to mention Ruan Ji during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties? Because at that time, he was equivalent to an alien. After his mother died, he still drank and ate meat. When the guests came to mourn him, he didn't cry, and the guests couldn't kneel down. Even his clothes looked normal today, but at that time, he could only use the first two words to describe it. Yes, it was just to describe it."
"At that time, many literati were dissatisfied with Sima Shi's regime, including Ruan Ji. Although Ruan Ji entered the officialdom, he often served in the officialdom, which was also a way to express his dissatisfaction. Later, people worshipped them in order to praise their courage in behavior. At that time, Taoist thought was very popular, and Taoism emphasized doing things without fighting, profit without harm, and cultivating them in one's own virtues. Therefore, literati at that time had their own independent personality. Their dress was greatly changed because of this personality."
"The major elements of the Jin system, the first point is to have a waist: a right-angle trapezoidal splicing structure lower skirt. The second point can be: the shoulder strips of the upper u, the cuff strips, various strips, a pair of I-shaped pleats on the side of the joint (if there is no upper body, it will be very buckety and not suitable for big butt stars, nor is it suitable for outside wear), the edges, the free matching of the color of the skirt. Third, absolutely no: "big-sleeved shirt", called "ru" but the slit top is cut and the pleats of the versatile square cloth, a pleat that is pleats. The third point is absolutely not: "big-sleeved shirt", called "ru" but the slit top is cut and the pleats are versatile.
Skirt (doubted).”
"Is that the Han Dynasty's costumes in the Wei and Jin Dynasties necessary to have a slight waist?"
"I said, OK, you are the president of Hanfu Club after all, so you need to strengthen your knowledge in this area!"
"Oh, I understand, please continue talking quickly."
"The ones with waist-slim waists are the styles of the Wei and Jin dynasties, but not the only ones. In other words, the Han Dynasty clothes of the Wei and Jin dynasties do not necessarily have waist-slim waists, because this cannot be verified. And what we have unearthed shows the styles without waist-slim waists. Therefore, there must be waist-slim waists, and those with single waist-slim waists are not necessarily not from the Jin system."
"Clothing tailoring, especially the theory of tailoring, was introduced to our country by modern Western countries. In other words, tailoring is more written and there are no professional terms."
"Then is the Wei and Jin style "crazy" in the Wei and Jin dynasties? Do merchants sell photo studio costumes?"
"In fact, although some businesses are seeking benefits, they are already very conscientious, because they have studied this history and then cut the Wei and Jin dynasties based on the unearthed cultural relics and written records. Of course, more film studio costumes are used, because the film studio costumes are more beautiful and fairy-like, and can be loved by many people. For novices who like Han culture, they are prone to being deceived and mistakenly believe that the film studio costumes are Hanfu."
"Isn't there a news some time ago? Did it cause heated discussion in the Hanfu circle? It was said that a girl who likes Hanfu went to a Hanfu party, but she wore a photo studio costume. She was rejected and even made her unable to get out of Taiwan."
"I heard that, it was said that this girl never came into contact with Hanfu again."
"That's right, so what we need to do is to spread the correct Hanfu concept and standards so that more people can know that this is a precious wealth left by our ancestors and should not be despised."
He Hao squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Liusu and said, "Don't say, you look so handsome when you get serious."
"Then do we still have to worship Ruan Ji?" Yang Liusu accepted the praise with peace of mind.
Wait, it seems like I'm not handsome usually.
