Why is the Hat So Long in the Song Dynasty?

And there are many kinds of similar styles, straight or curved, etc. What is the difference?

Comments

Beulah Hubbard · The different styles have been developed from the Han Dynasty headscarf.
Darryl Ferguson · It is said to have been designed by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, so that officials would not talk freely during court.
Sylvia Morris · The original light headscarf, after adding two long hat feet, became bulky and not easy to move around. But more so, the wearer’s behavior would be more upright and careful, which is also more in line with the temperament of the literati bachelor.
Leona Cross · Great for wearing when going out to keep social distance.

What is Tongcai?

Is it a style of Hanfu? Thanks to all😍

Historical answer · inconsequentia

通裁(tōngcái) is the practice of creating clothes in one piece rather than creating a skirt and shirt and sewing them together.

Historical answer · Kaldea

Let me try to answer your question:

There are several ways of cutting and sewing in hanfu making.

The first one is lianchang, which I understand is to cut the fabric needed for the top and the bottom skirt separately, and finally sew them together as a whole, han dynasty shenyi is belongs to lianchang.

The second is yichang, which is a style that is cut separately, but does not need to be sewn together in the end, the common ruqun, which belongs to yichang.

The third type is tongcai, which is cut directly as a whole. No additional sewing of the top and bottom skirt is required.Robe is belongs to tongcai.

My humble opinion, please let me know if there are any mistakes.😜

What Kind of Hanfu Can’t be Ironed Directly?

I just bought a hanfu, the skirt has some wrinkles, can I iron it directly?

Comments

Sherrii · Depends on the material, the normal ordinary material can be.
Peng · You can directly iron it, unless some materials are special, such as silk needs low temperature. To wear when ironing, do not put directly in the closet after ironing.😁
risarutledge · Start with the lowest temperature to try and slowly increase the temperature. Otherwise, use a steam iron.
