\"Zhang<\/a><\/p>\n

Pifeng in the Ming Dynasty is actually similar to the beizi in the Song Dynasty.<\/p>\n

Beizi (Chinese: \u8919\u5b50 ; pinyin: b\u00e8i zi) is an item worn in traditional Chinese clothing that is common for both men and women.<\/p>\n

Beizi refers to a large loose outer coat with loose and long sleeves.<\/p>\n

Beizi was most popular during the Song Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty, also from the early Qing to the Middle Qing dynasties.<\/p>\n

Beizi is from the Song dynasty.<\/p>\n

When beizi is worn by men, it is sometimes referred to as changyi (Chinese: \u6c05\u8863 ; pinyin: ch\u01ceng y\u012b), hechang (Chinese: \u9e64\u6c05 ; pinyin: h\u00e8 ch\u01ceng), or dachang (Chinese: \u5927\u6c05 ; pinyin: d\u00e0 ch\u01ceng) when worn with large sleeves and a tie tied around the waist.<\/p>\n

But in the Ming dynasty, beizi was referred to as pifeng (Chinese: \u62ab\u98ce ; pinyin: p\u012b f\u0113ng).<\/p>\n

Pifeng is a form of Chinese Hanfu outerwear mostly with a central front collar, dui-jin (Chinese: \u5bf9\u895f ; pinyin: du\u00ec j\u012bn).<\/p>\n

With two long sleeves and slits under both armpits, the front is decorated with a pair of lace for fastening, and the flower-shaped jade buttons are also used for fastening.<\/p>\n

Pifeng can be worn both indoors and outdoors.<\/p>\n

History background<\/h4>\n

From many portraits and notes, we know that pifeng was popular clothing in the Ming Dynasty.<\/p>\n

In the \u201c\u4e91\u95f4\u636e\u76ee\u6284 y\u00fan ji\u0101n j\u00f9 m\u00f9 ch\u0101o\u201d at the end of the Ming Dynasty, \u201cthe pifeng casual clothes\u201d was mentioned, and the Qing Dynasty entered this customs.<\/p>\n

Pifeng also appears repeatedly in \u201cA Dream of Red Chamber (Chinese: \u7ea2\u697c\u68a6 ; pinyin: h\u00f3ng l\u00f3u m\u00e8ng)\u201d. It is worth noting that there are both pifeng and doupeng in \u201cA Dream of Red Chamber\u201d, indicating that there are differences between the two.<\/p>\n

In Ming Dynasty, Wang Qi\u2019s \u201cSancai Tuhui (Chinese: \u4e09\u624d\u56fe\u4f1a ; pinyin: s\u0101n c\u00e1i t\u00fa hu\u00ec)\u201d said: \u201cBeizi, the current pifeng.\u201d \u201cIn other words, pifeng in the Ming and Qing dynasties was beizi of the Song Dynasty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The illustration beizi in \u201cSancai Tuhui\u201d shows a kind of long shirt with a central front collar or dui-jin and slits under the two armpits with two long sleeves.<\/p>\n

Chinese thinker Zhu Shunshui in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties described the pifeng in \u201cShunshui Zhu Shi Tan Qi (Chinese: \u821c\u6c34\u6731\u6c0f\u8c08\u7eee ; pinyin: sh\u00f9n shu\u01d0 zh\u016b sh\u00ec t\u00e1n q\u01d0)\u201d as a central front collar, with a hem and left and right slits.<\/p>\n

According to the information from \u201cSancai Tuhui\u201d and \u201cShunshui Zhu Shi Tan Qi\u201d, pifeng in the Ming Dynasty is actually similar to the beizi in the Song Dynasty, but pifeng is different from doupeng. Pifeng has sleeves with a central front collar and slits on both sides.<\/p>\n

Pifeng is also often seen in some ancient portraits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
