World Dress Culture -- Kimono Culture Of Japan

Kimono not only incorporates the essence of elegance and deep introvertion, but also reflects the heart and movement of the dressed person.

Each set of beautiful kimono is carefully tailored to the details and steps of wearing.

Therefore, sitting posture or standing posture needs to be completed through study and training, and become a perfect etiquette both inside and outside. Kimono has another name called "flower appreciation screen", because the patterns and colors of kimono reflect the specific images of nature. When people wear kimono and walk around, they will make the kimono as a dynamic canvas because of shaking.

Kimono is a Japanese national tradition.

It has evolved over the past 1000 years based on the clothing of the Tang Dynasty in China.

The Japanese showed their feelings of art to kimono.

Kimono has a wide range of colors, textures and patterns, and has changed for thousands of years.

Not only is there a significant difference between men and women (men's kimono) has a single color, with a slight emphasis on black, less styles, a thin waist belt, simple accessories, convenient dressing, women's kimono, colorful, wide belts, and wide variety of styles, and many accessories, and depending on occasions and time, people will wear different kimono to show caution (women's kimono has wedding and kimono, adult kimono, evening ritual and kimono, banquet, kimono and general dress).

The kimono itself is woven and dyed and embroidered, as well as the cumbersome rules of wearing. (when wearing kimono, we should wear clog and socks, and comb different hairstyles according to the kimono type), making it a kind of art.

The designers constantly put forth new ideas in their colors and textures, and apply all kinds of bold designs to flower colors, so that the modern impression is cleverly integrated into the history of the kimono in the classical form.

In the legend of Japan, there was a God who lived in accordance with the evil spirit, and he often took off his coat, belt, and bare body when he was in the process of eliminating death.

According to posterity's textual research, the age of divine treatment described in the legend is equivalent to that of primitive society in Japan. At that time, the ruins of Japanese life had been found thousands of times, and its distribution areas were North Hokkaido, South to Kyushu, almost all over Japan.

In the primitive society, the Japanese lived in an uncertain life in a group way. The main production activities were hunting and collecting (not always thinking about the age of Empires).

Perhaps in that era, the Japanese began to use animal fur or leaves to process the cold, and walked out of the naked era.

In the late period of the age of ropes culture (the Neolithic Age of Japan was equivalent to the first 500 years of the former 800-) and the Yatai Culture Era (the Japanese used the Yatai pottery era, which was equivalent to the first 300-300 years), there were two basic styles of clothing in Japan.

One is the collar type T-shirt, similar to today's round neck knitted pullover, the other is a pair of breasted style, the front door adopts the left side, the collar to the waist, and the distance is two at the beginning. The sleeves are sleeved and the sleeves are tubular sleeves, and the length is above the knee.

There are also scarves and scarves matching the tops.

A piece of crotch cloth worn underneath the coat, but this refers to a trouser lower garment with legs connected.

A man has a waist wrapped around a garment, wrapped around his waist and tied around his jacket. Some changes have taken place in his clothes because of the pleats.

Women are mostly dressed. Unlike men, women's clothing is similar to that of Korean women today.

Scarves are usually hung on two shoulders as decorations, and the form of hanging is not limited.

In production labor, scarves are often used as belts to tie long sleeves or to replace cloth bags.

On the occasion of separation, people waved their scarves to show their reluctance. It was the same as the farewell to handkerchiefs which was popular in the Meiji era.

It is a large and long ribbon fabric that is bigger and longer than the scarf.

Ancient Japanese women were taboo by men, so they need to be masked.

According to the records of "ancient records", "Japanese book Ji", "planting wheel atlas" and "antique language collection", Japanese costumes culture style has been made of Broussonetia papyrifera, linen, cotton coarse cloth, robe cloth, Cobb and other plant fiber materials.

The appearance of clothing materials is shrouded in mythical halo, such as day vulture, God cut cloth and cloth, and the long white feather God creates its own linen for civilian use.

Dyeing was quite common at that time. According to "emperor Ying Ji", when the emperor was carrying the emperor, people already knew that they were dyed with red and indigo with alizarin grass.

Most of the dyed fabrics are striped, sometimes with some prints. They are usually printed directly on leaves and flowers.

The plants used include moon grass, swallow grass, hazel, mountain, honeysuckle and so on.

And cloth socks: clogs, similar to our commonly known "La La board", usually have two teeth before and after the board, which is a unique shoe for wearing kimono.

Clogs have a long history in China. It is said that in the spring and Autumn period, Jin Wen went abroad for 19 years, but he forgot to promote him when he went to the throne.

Meson pushes and mother lives in Mian mountain.

Later, Wen Gong invited him several times, but he didn't come out. Wen Gong burned him to death.

Wen Gong deeply deplored the use of this tree to make clogs as a souvenir.

At ordinary times, he always looked at the clogs on his feet, calling: "sad!"! If the story is based, clogs have been in China for more than 2000 years.

There are also records of clogs in Chinese literature history books.

In the annotation of Yan Shi Gu, there are those who use the wood as the basis, and the two teeth, so the words "quot"; "Huang sang zhe", "Pu Yue Zi", and the central two filament system (ancient Yue Fu).

In Jin Shu Xuan Di Ji, there are also records of the battle of clogs: Guanzhong Tribulus terrestris, the emperor made two thousand sergeants, and the soft wood clogs went forward.

In the Song Dynasty, all the elders in Peking wore wooden clogs, and the ladies were dressed as lacquer made colored clogs.

The origin of Japanese clogs is closely related to the origin of Chinese clogs. There is no reliable information to judge them.

However, in Jin Jin's novel, "the search for God" describes the ancient Chinese clog cloud: the past cages, the woman's round head, the male square head, and the cover of the desire for men and women.

Japan's clogs are mostly square, and women often use round head clogs. Moreover, Japan has written clogs all the time since ancient times, which makes us think deeply about the kinship relationship between China and Japan.

Socks, Japanese writing pocket.

The initial stockings were stitched together by two pieces of cloth, no toes, and laces on the feet.

In the great treasure order, the Chinese character's hosiery characters were kept intact, and it was stipulated that the Royal brocade had a pair of nylon stockings under the dress, and five or more white socks below the Royal costume, and no uniform with white socks.

For the upper classes only.

During the Yuan Lu period of the Edo period (1688-1704 years), China's buckled wallet was introduced to Japan. The above buttons inspired Japanese technicians, who applied this kind of fastener to the stockings to avoid the trouble of the original lacing, and it was more convenient to wear them.

In ancient Japan, it was not easy to wear socks.

In the Kamakura era, the Japanese government had stipulated that the period of wearing socks was limited to October 10th from the year of second to February 2nd of the year. Even during this period, only the old people over the age of 50 and those who had been specially approved by the governments at all levels had this kind of treatment.

The rule was abolished until the Edo period.

With black as the background, dyed with five patterns, the black and white sleeves are printed on both ends of the kimono's front hem, which are used by married women. There are three or one pattern printed on other color fabrics, and the lower ones are patterned, which are called "color retaining sleeves".

Because this kimono gives people a sense of fashion, married women wear more and more sleeves.

The twelve single is the dress dress worn by ancient women when they enter the palace or festival.

They are divided into twelve layers: Tang Yi, single clothes, table and so on.

It is said that after the king of Zhou Wu became angry, there were 12 small ministers who took the crown clothes that King Wu often wore. They climbed up the roofs on each side separately, and shouted to the North: "the son of heaven returns!" even after three calls, he came back to put the crown clothes on Wu King, hoping that Wu's soul could come back to his clothes.

(think of the TV series "the romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Gong Jin died, and then worked on his clothes, he shouted to the governor to return.

Japan also uses the custom of clothing to evocation: people either lie on the pillow of the dead, or climb the roof to the high mountains or sea, or wave the dead clothes to shout the dead to come back.

When washing clothes used for the dead, wash them in the north and dry in the middle of the night.

After washing and drying, it must be neatly folded. After collecting it for a period of time, it can be knocked down with rods.

Therefore, people do not dry in the north and do not hang outside at night.

In the city, at the beginning of the first month, most families do not wash clothes.

In ancient customs, one day, fifteen days, twenty-eight days, and even the other side of the other day are not allowed to do laundry.

This is a holiday that requires a good rest and a dread of the day's soul wandering for the objects of a sacrifice to be attached to clothes in the air.

When new clothes are newly worn, some areas (such as Ji Zhou) first put their clothes on the posts. Some places (Okinawa) have to sing songs for thousands of years, and they also have a thousand years of clothing, and their clothes are thin and strong.

Even if you don't wear wooden columns first, you should fold them up and knock them down for two times.

It's all about worrying about a certain soul in the clothes.

After a period of collection, beat with a stick, or wear a wooden column first. In terms of subjective wishes, I hope to play a role in resolving the problem and avoiding evil.

"No episode" contains: no overhanging crown, like a dead man's clothing, a legend of Henan Qinyang wearing a reverse skirt and another man.

Because the dead went to the opposite world of the world, so they should wear clothes instead of wearing them after death.

In Japanese custom, when a person dies and buries, he has to leave his clothes behind, which means that all the costumes of the deceased are contrary to the living.

Therefore, when people wear clothes, they usually avoid the collar's nest, or face it later.

Similarly, because of the spirit of all things, people think that the clothes they wear are bound to have their own souls. They give their clothes to their closest friends, meaning that they give their souls to each other, showing a sincere heart.

Some people put a five round Japanese coin in their pocket when they donated their clothes. This is the homonym of the five circles, indicating the meaning of the Royal margin (with you), and the expression of the existing custom of buying clothes money and buying money for money.

Kimono's color taboo: in the book "Chinese taboo", the colors of clothing have been classified as four: expensive colors, low color, taboo, and bright colors.

According to the book of rites, the clothing of Tian Zi is different in color because of different seasons. According to the season's Yin Yang and five elements, it is divided into green, red, yellow, white and black colors.

Tang Taizong, Zhenguan four years, set the colors of each official, the purple before Zhu: three products above the purple; four products, five products; six products are dark green; seven products are light green; eight products are dark green; nine products are light green.

It can be said that the color taboos in Japanese history have different degrees of similarity with these.

In the eleven years (605 years), Emperor Prince Shotoku issued the twelve rank of the crown and crowns according to rank.

From top to bottom, it is Germany (purple), Ren (Qing), Li (chi), Xin (Huang), Yi (BAI) and Zhi (black).

The six colors of Wacom are divided into two sizes, twelve orders.

In Japanese history, orange, dark red, blue and dark purple were used for the dress of the crown prince, the emperor, the emperor and the prince.

In particular, dark red and dark purple are not allowed to be used by people outside the royal family until 1945.

In the murals of Gao Song tomb in Japan, there are

Besides the portrait of men and women, there are pictures of Qinglong, rosefinch, white tiger and Xuanwu (Black Turtle) as the patron saint of four sides.

To this day, in some parts of Japan, when wearing kimono, they are not ceremonious ceremonies, but generally do not use white or red.

Because white represents sanctity and purity; red symbolizes magic.
