The Imperial Court of the Qing Dynasty： A Fashionable Display~

Last time I talked about the imperial dresses of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In this episode, let's take a look at what the imperial dresses of the Qing and Qing dynasties looked like. Yes, this is what I want to learn more about. The transition from the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Qing dynasties was a rebirth of the imperial palace. Although the Qing dynasties' rulers were not local people, they had a sad background, and many of them were ignorant. They learned the customs of the local people. After all, society has developed. The Manchu and Mongolian dynasties were similar in geography. They brought the naturalism of the northern wilderness. The Nurhaci established the imperial capital in Liaoning and Shenyang. The decorated patterns used in the imperial palace were more simple and free. At that time, the Manchu people were influenced by the religious aesthetics of Islam and Buddhism. They also worshiped the Saman religion. In their clothing style, there are many patterns of scrolls, birds, and plates. Overall, it seems that they all follow a clear and simple style. Let's take a look at the portraits and cultural relics of the imperial palace. According to the Qing dynasties, only the empress can use the yellow dragon pattern. The rest of the class is not allowed to use it. After entering the palace, the portrait of Fulin of the Qing dynasties was also more similar to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The difference is that the sleeves of the Qing dynasties are narrower and longer. There is a late horse-horse sleeve. It can be said that it is a collection of the same. From this portrait, it should be a court uniform. The emperor has a special bright yellow color. There are dragon patterns on the shoulders, front chest and back. There are nine patterns on the front and back of the nose. It symbolizes the dignity of the emperor. The sleeves and clothes are green. There is a colorful cloud dragon pattern on the sleeve. When it came to the Kangxi Empire, the court uniform was changed. It is based on the cloud dragon pattern. There is a dragon pattern on the shoulder. At the same time, there is a sea water pattern in Jiangyang. It symbolizes the sea in Fushan. There is also a cloud dragon pattern and a sea water pattern on the nose. This is the court uniform of Emperor Yongzheng. It can be seen that it inherits the character of Kangxi. There is a cloud dragon pattern on the shoulder. It symbolizes the sea water pattern in Jiangyang. There are nine dragon patterns on the nose and six dragon patterns on the front and back of the nose. This dragon pattern was worn by Yongzheng. There is a sun and moon pattern on the shoulder. There is a five-star pearl on the chest. It symbolizes the stars. There is also a pattern of Fu, Fu, Huachong and Zongyi in Fushan. The court uniform system of the Qing Dynasty in the early period of Kangyong is improving day by day. In terms of Fushan type, it still uses the court uniform stipulated in the Ming Dynasty Fushan system. There is also a pattern of Di Fu, Qi Fu and Chang Fu. At the same time, there is also a pattern of Min Fu. The pattern continues to use the dragon pattern, horse pattern, twelve-page pattern, beast pattern, etc. Chang Fu uses the pattern of peonies, plums, orchids, bamboos, chrysanthemums, etc. At the same time, it also promotes the pattern of Ruyi Yun, Shouzi, Wanzi, etc. In general, the Qing Dynasty emperor's uniform is basically the same as that of the previous dynasty. It has been adjusted at the western temperature. The previous dynasty wore a luxurious and dignified appearance. The harem also wore very beautiful and fancy clothes. The visit of the concubines is actually a big show. The queen and concubines also have Li Fu, Qi Fu and Chang Fu. Li Fu is more formal and appears in major celebrations and rites. It includes the court crown, the court coat, the court robe, the court dress, the gold jade, the silver jade, the earring, the court pearl, the tax collection, etc. The court dress is inside when you wear it. Then you wear the court robe and the court coat. The uniform is used for ordinary festivals or long dynasties. There are the uniform crown, the dragon coat, the dragon robe, the uniform court pearl, etc. Chang Fu's coat color is green. It is used on a daily basis. From the queen to the bottle, the color is used to distinguish the level. The queen and the imperial concubine are the normal yellow. The imperial concubine and the concubine are golden yellow. The bottle is the color of incense. The rest of the imperial concubines don't use the dragon robe, but the coat. Let's take a look at the queen's court uniform. She wears the court dress first. It looks like this. The top is the red dragon, the dragon pattern and the four-box cloud pattern. The bottom is the colorful cloud pattern. Then she puts on the court robe. The dress is embroidered with gold. The embroidery is carved. The large area is embroidered with colorful cloud pattern and dragon pattern. The top of the dress is golden phoenix pattern, floating pattern, group beast pattern, etc. The bottom is the river and sea pattern. Finally, she puts on the court robe. The court robe is also green. There are two relative golden dragons on the front and back of the shoulders. The bottom is the group beast pattern, the river and sea pattern, and the floating pattern. The dress is ready. Don't worry. There is also a collar. The collar is a bit like a necklace. It is used to distinguish the level. The queen's collar is made of leather. There are 11 pearls on it. There are bright yellow belts on both ends. Let's not talk about the other accessories. Let's go to the second room. The queen's court robe is finally ready. Don't ask. It's not hot. It must be heavy if you want to wear a crown. The dress is only given to the dress. There are formal requirements. The queen mother and the queen are in green. There are eight groups of five-clawed golden dragon patterns on the sleeves. There is a front and back of the two shoulders. There are four dragon patterns on the body. The lower eight treasures are hidden in the water. There are two dragon patterns on the sleeves. The queen mother, the queen mother, and the queen are the same as them. There are not so many different patterns. This gives the queens a lot of creative space. They will customize according to the change of the season and their personal hobbies. There are butterfly patterns, peony patterns, and grape patterns. There are patterns with a sense of life. In this way, the style and patterns of the dress are much richer. It also reflects the labor creativity of the Qing Dynasty women. In the late Qing Dynasty, the zhalan style on women's clothes became the new favorite of the nobility. There are flowers and grass patterns on the collar, sleeves, and hem of the dress. So there is a three-point style and a seven-point style. But this kind of fashion item has already emerged in the period of the Spring and Autumn Wars. At first, women used it to reinforce the edges of their clothes. Not only can it prevent wear and tear, but it can also reduce the use of weaving fabric. Coincidentally, it was later reused in the nobility circle. As a retro fashion, it has developed into many-fragrance-many-rolls. Some even use lace to make perfume. There are countless circles. The style of the harem has changed a lot compared to the Ming Dynasty. It is different from the Han style of the Ming Dynasty. It has a satisfying aesthetic characteristic. From the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors to Cui Yingshan and Tianxiazhi, people's clothes not only have the function of warming and cultivation. In other words, the rule of fashion is not only to cover up, but also to praise the virtuous, to persuade people to do good, to distinguish between high and low, and even to see the pattern and color on your clothes, you can see your status and rank. In this way, people, nobles, ministers, and ordinary people's respect for each other will be remembered. We don't dare to do this when it comes to clothes. In this video, I introduced you to the clothing and patterns of the harem. In the next video, we will talk about the clothing and pattern system of the civil and military officials, and teach you how to distinguish between leaders and subordinates in the Ming and Qing officialdoms. Please look forward to it.
