大唐女子圖鑒丨Dressing for the Times: 4 REAL Tang Style dresses丨Shiyin

Today we presented four sets of Tang Dynasty costumes in the form of a hundred years of beauty aiming to restore them as accurately as possible all the makeup and costumes were based on cultural relics so everyone can clearly see it My makeup will be very different from what everyone saw before Today I also want to mention that it's because I've had a cold recently some parts of this explanation might sound a bit strange We hope everyone can be more understanding The first set we are restoring is the makeup and costume of the early Tang dynasty We refer to this "Ren Yong" In modern people's minds the Tang dynasty is associated with the beauty of being plump But in reality during the early Tang dynasty which was before Emperor Xuanzong women were considered beautiful if they were slender To reflect this body type the shirts and sleeves of the early Tang period were relatively form-fitting This green garment that looks like a half-body robe is actually a quilted jacket During the Tang Dynasty a quilted jacket was a short jacket without sleeves or with short sleeves and no slits on the sides The length is between 30 to 50 centimeters It can be worn over or tucked into a skirt It is an article of clothing unique to women The long skirt worn under the shirt The cutting method used was the most popular sharp-color style of the early Tang dynasty which modern people generally refer to as the many-many-hole skirt created by cutting the fabric into multiple right angles and then combining them For example This dress consists of 30 panels hence it is called a three-piece split skirt The multiple seams can visually elongate the figure satisfying the client 's pursuit of a tall and slim appearance Therefore This style was very popular in the early Tang dynasty Finally over all clothing a robe was worn This was the mainstream outfit of the period In terms of hairstyle it was popular to part the hair in the middle Gao Su was two doses The third hairpin is placed on the left forming a left-right symmetrical arrangement This hairpin style was inherited from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was the mainstream hairpin style during the Tang Dynasty There are many types of Tang Dynasty armor These two sets of armor are classic types that have been passed down since the early Tang Dynasty under Emperor Gaozu The corresponding anti-warm oil agent in the literature is now commonly called double-screw agent Double-screw up In the early Tang dynasty the eyebrows curved at the center then became smooth and the two eyebrows were closer together Lower eyelid extended and lifted Inner corner of the eye widened downward Pink blush applied under the eyes Outer corner of the eye Cheek position Slightly plump red lips Then place a flower pad on the forehead This allows the visual center to focus on the position between the eyebrows paired with a high dose making a person appear even taller and slimmer with a strong presence From the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty it evolved into the prosperous Tang era during this period Aesthetic began to undergo significant changes The originally pursued delicate beauty was replaced by a more dynamic and majestic style This set which restores the Astana No 187 design was created during this period of transformation The clothing basically followed the Tang Dynasty standard including a skirt a shirt and a robe set Unlike the early Tang period the shirts of this period had slightly wider sleeves that no longer closely clung to the arms Skirts are no longer in fashion instead the trend shifted towards small non-structured pleated skirts Shawls began to become popular worn over the front and draped over the back a style that continued in later periods and eventually became the standard The women's hair was piled high but the back was flat against the scalp the ears were visible on both sides on the piled-up hair top a hair clip was attached Fix the hair clip with a hairpin Then insert a flower-shaped cloth hairpin The New Tang History "Five Elements Biography" records the fashion of this period The Tianbao era The woman wore a cloth hairpin and a jade hairpin golden embroidery and embroidered morning continuing until after the middle Tang dynasty still very popular in contrast to the powerful aura of the early Tang This era's makeup was more gentle and refined The eyebrows became thicker When drawing them the focus was not concentrated but rather done in layers The brow tip was gathered into a point and lifted upwards while the brow end spread out and was pressed down The lips basically follow the style of the early Tang dynasty The upper lip slightly protrudes drawn into a more plump floral shape the corners of the mouth leave a slight blank slender eyes have always been the pursuit of ancient people The inner corner is slightly lowered The outer corner is lightly drawn Without extending too much Combined with the pinkish red in the shadow area It gives a slightly smoky look Men's outer formal attire is a robe now called the round-necked robe Historically Japan sent many envoys to Tang China to study and imitated and changed their own system and attire It was until it fully matched the Tang Dynasty the largest of which was from 697 to 758 AD the prototype of this outfit was based on Tang Dynasty clothing preserved in the Nara Shōsōin which has been preserved The clothing inside has a written inscription of the "Tianping Shengbao" era name According to the inscription's dating the time should be the 11th year of Tianbao in the mainland indicating that it is clothing left behind from the Tang era The most direct reference to Tang dynasty clothing is the Sheng Tang style which has wider sleeves than the early Tang slightly tapered hems and extremely wide waistlines By gathering the excess fabric with a sash it can be transformed into folds inside the robe taking advantage of the distinct masculine shape the half -sleeve which is generally made from stiff fabric The purpose is to lift the shoulders to present a more robust figure by wearing a undershirt shirt and pants under the sleeves this three-piece outfit It is surprisingly consistent with a modern man's three-piece suit I can't help but admire fashion really is a cycle Of course I'm in disguise as a man here However this behavior was also a trend during the Tang Dynasty The "Commentary on Ancient Chinese Gold" records by the time of the Qianbao era people's wives wore their husbands' shoes shirtswhips and hats both inside and outside the same style At that time women either wore female attire or chose male attire wearing golden character headgear and round-collared robes this later female tradition continued a thousand-year- old custom from the beginning The last set we restored is a style from the "Flower-Adorned Lady Painting " with the specific creation year of this painting being a subject of significant academic debate Some believe it was painted during the middle or late Tang dynasty others believe it was painted during the Song dynasty but the currently more widely accepted view is that it is from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period specifically the Southern Tang which was after 907 AD During the Tang dynasty women had two types of outerwear one was a quilt and the other was a cloak When the cloak was worn as a single layer it was called a shawl This type of outerwear was popular during the middle Tang period It changed into wide-sleeved attire but the clothing did not reach the knees After the Five Dynasties period the length of the clothing and sleeves continued to increase reaching the ankles and thus it was officially formed into what we see today The appearance in "The Lady with Flowers in Her Hair" is characterized by high hairdos that are inserted into the front pocket which are not remote from the continuation Spring connects the flowers to the structure with a broken corner and also adds the classic tassel element compared to the full head of floral leaf hairpin popular in the late Tang dynasty the hairpin of the Five Dynasties period Begin the simplification because it became prominent and expanded divided into two groups eyebrows shaped like goose teeth high above the normal eyebrow hairline beginning in the Five Dynasties the way to wear the robe's hood The modern common pattern also appeared draping the shawl between the elbow and upper arm from back to front complementing the robe beautifully Alright that's it for today's Tang Dynasty woman illustration The reason I made this video is because I've recently become very interested in Tang Dynasty costumes and also because I rarely see people making videos about Tang Dynasty costumes I think the Tang Dynasty is a dynasty that every Hanfu enthusiast should thoroughly study but due to limited time There are still many other costumes that were not mentioned If you are interested you can go online to learn more If you like the content of this issue remember to like share and subscribe If there is a good response I will consider making more videos on other dynasties later That's it for this video See you next time Bye
