Recently, I had the opportunity to read a book about traditional Chinese attire, especially for the Tang dynasty (618-907), written in Chinese, titled<strong>\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300b<\/strong>by \u5de6\u4e18\u840c and \u672b\u6625. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and to better understand parts of it, I translated sections that I found challenging. I also made notes along the way to help deepen my understanding.<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019m excited to share these notes with you! I hope they help deepen our understanding of traditional Chinese clothing, which is so rich in history and beauty.<\/p>\n<p>All the information in these notes comes from the book \u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300b.<\/p>\n<p>This is for non-commercial purposes only.

618) to the early Tang dynasty, there was a significant difference between the North and South, particularly in terms of clothing and the appearance of women during that period.<\/p>\n<p>As seen in\u300a\u989c\u6c0f\u5bb6\u8bad\u00b7\u97f3\u8f9e\u300b(y\u00e1n sh\u00ec ji\u0101 x\u00f9n \u00b7 y\u012bn c\u00ed) and\u300a\u968b\u4e66\u00b7\u6587\u5b66\u4f20\u53d9\u300b(su\u00ed sh\u016b \u00b7 w\u00e9n xu\u00e9 chu\u00e1n x\u00f9) , the differences between the North and South are explained in terms of tone, vocabulary, and literature.<\/p>\n<p>In the North, due to being under the rule of the Hu tribes for a long time, the culture of the people was more open. Women could often break free from the confines of domestic life and engage in social interactions outside. To facilitate socializing and travel, most of their everyday clothes included &#8220;\u5939\u9886\u5c0f\u8896 short-sleeved, collared shirts&#8221; and &#8220;\u51a0\u5e3d\u800c\u7740\u5c0f\u6a58\u8884 orange hats and jackets,&#8221; which were considered &#8220;Hu-style clothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, women in the South were often bound by a complex system of etiquette. As mentioned in\u300a\u989c\u6c0f\u5bb6\u8bad\u00b7\u97f3\u8f9e\u300b, &#8220;Women in Jiangdong rarely socialize; in terms of marriage, they may not even know each other for ten years, relying only on letters and gifts to express sincerity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Their clothing inherited the styles of the Han, Wei, and Six Dynasties, with &#8220;long shirts and wide belts.&#8221; To adapt to the humid and hot climate of the South, the sleeves of their garments became wider to help with air circulation.<\/p>\n<p>With the increasing cultural exchanges during the Northern and Southern dynasties, clothing from the South was regarded as &#8220;Han-style clothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When the Northern dynasty rulers asserted their legitimacy as successors to the Central Plains and established their clothing system, they often imitated the Southern style, making loose, wide-sleeved clothing from the South the formal attire for important events.<\/p>\n<p>Fashion trends began to show a tendency toward integration between the North and South.<\/p>\n<p>After the Sui dynasty unified the North and South, clothing essentially formed a dual system that combined both styles.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, at that time, women&#8217;s clothing could be divided into two categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One category inherited the &#8220;Han-style&#8221; clothing from the South, with wide sleeves and long skirts trailing on the ground, often paired with shoes, worn for formal events or ceremonies, and not for everyday use.<\/li>\n<li>The other category inherited the &#8220;Hu-style&#8221; clothing from the North, with a narrow top and long skirt, a silk draped over the shoulders, and short boots, worn as everyday attire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Among the murals from the Sui dynasty that have been unearthed, very few feature female figures, and most of the line carvings or ceramic sculptures have lost their color.

For winter, the upper garments included a double-layered &#8220;Shan&#8221; or &#8220;Ao&#8221;, which was lined with cotton material.<\/p>\n<p>The concubine (\u8d24\u5983 ; xi\u00e1n f\u0113i) of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Xu, wrote a poem titled\u300a\u8d4b\u5f97\u5317\u65b9\u6709\u4f73\u4eba\u300b(f\u00f9 d\u00e9 b\u011bi f\u0101ng y\u01d2u ji\u0101 r\u00e9n ; Describing Beauty in the North). One of the lines reads, &#8220;A slender waist matches the precious Wa (\u889c ; w\u00e0), a red tunic made from beautiful weaving,&#8221; describing the layers of the upper garment of women in the early Tang dynasty.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;Wa&#8221; mentioned in the poem is not the socks worn on the feet, but an undergarment typically worn by women at the time.<\/p>\n<p>When wearing the short and narrow &#8220;Shan&#8221;, they would first wrap the &#8220;Wa&#8221; around the chest and waist.<\/p>\n<p>As stated in the poem, the upper garments could also use bright and thick silk as decoration around the neck, referred to as &#8220;Jin Biao (\u9526\u893e ; j\u01d0n bi\u01ceo)&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>As for collar styles, there were two main types at that time: the straight collar (\u76f4\u9886 ;

When it entered the Central Plains during the Northern and Southern dynasties along with the spread of Buddhism, the Peizi gradually integrated into everyday clothing.<\/p>\n<p>Because of its distinctive feature of being worn on the shoulders, it was called by its ancient Chinese name for a shawl, Peizi or Lingjin (\u9886\u5dfe ; l\u01d0ng j\u012bn).<\/p>\n<p>In the early Sui dynasty, the use of the shawl by women of noble families was considered odd and was dubbed &#8220;Fuyao (\u670d\u5996 ; f\u00fa y\u0101o)&#8221;, meaning &#8220;to conquer demons&#8221;, because it resembled the flags and banners of war, symbolizing impending disaster.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1244\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1244\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bClothing-Sui-Dynasty-\u2014-Early-Tang-Dynasty-f.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bClothing-Sui-Dynasty-\u2014-Early-Tang-Dynasty-f.png\" alt=\"Zhang Ruying - Zhang Ruying&#039;s Notes: From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bClothing (Sui Dynasty \u2014 Early Tang Dynasty) - f\" width=\"700\" height=\"567\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bClothing-Sui-Dynasty-\u2014-Early-Tang-Dynasty-f.png 700w, https:\/\/www.zhangruying.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/zhangruying-Zhang-Ruyings-Notes-From\u300a\u4e2d\u56fd\u5986\u675f\uff1a\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c\u300bClothing-Sui-Dynasty-\u2014-Early-Tang-Dynasty-f-300x243.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The style of the Tang dynasty&#8217;s Peizi (this is a scaled-down version of the figurine&#8217;s shawl) \u2014 \u5de6\u4e18\u840c \/ \u672b\u6625 . <em>\u4e2d\u56fd<\/em>\u5986\u675f\uff1a<em>\u5927\u5510\u5973\u513f\u884c<\/em> . \u6e05\u534e\u5927\u5b66\u51fa\u7248\u793e\uff0c2020\uff1a20 (taken from \u5510\u9ad8\u5b97\u6c38\u660c\u5143\u5e74\uff08689 \u5e74\uff09\u65b0\u7586\u5410\u9c81\u756a\u963f\u65af\u5854\u90a3\u5510\u5893\u533a\u5f20\u96c4\u9eb9\u6c0f\u592b\u5987\u5408\u846c\u5893\uff08206 \u53f7\u5893\uff09\u51fa\u571f)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, soon after, the Peizi became widely used by women.
