Costume is the result of human-specific labor. It is not only the crystallization of material civilization, but also the meaning of spiritual civilization. Almost from the day of the origin of clothing, people have accumulated their customs, aesthetic tastes, color hobbies, and cultural attitudes into the costumes, and built the spiritual civilization of clothing culture.
Chinese costumes are like Chinese culture and are generated by the influence of various ethnic groups. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties (206 BC - 907 AD), especially after the modern times, a large number of well-known crystallizations that melted the foreign cultures of the various nations of the world have evolved into a whole so-called Chinese clothing culture dominated by the Han people.
In the Qing Dynasty (1644--1911 AD), men’s costumes were dominated by robes and horses. In the Qing Dynasty, there were both Manchu and Han costumes. Manchu women are mainly robes, and Han women are fashionable under the dress. The styles and varieties of women's clothing have become more and more diverse in the Qing Dynasty, such as vests, skirts, coats, scarves, belts, glasses, etc., which are endless.
Cheongsam, popular in the 1920s, was born out of the Manchu women's clothing in the Qing Dynasty. It was shaped by the Han women's absorbing and absorbing Western clothing style. From the 1920s to the end of the 1940s, the Chinese cheongsam was popular for more than 20 years. The styles have changed a lot. For example, the collar has completely got rid of the old-fashioned style, and the female body and curvaceous beauty have been fully displayed, which is suitable for the fashion at that time. Later, the cheongsam was also passed abroad, and the women of other countries followed suit.
Carpet China began production of carpets between (Qing) Xianfeng 10 years and Tongzhi Decade (1860-1871). The carpet design was about the last few years of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, Chinese carpets gradually matured in terms of pattern design, coloring and craftsmanship. By the 1920s, unique Chinese carpets were formed.
The standard format of Chinese carpets:
The basic rule of the carpet pattern mainly reflects the layout of the inner pattern, which mainly occupies the center of the carpet with the round plaque pattern. The four corner horns are decorated by the equiangular horns of the triangle, and the outer part of the rug is surrounded by the small side and the big side. The edge is a narrow circle without any decoration.
Carpets of the Qing Dynasty (1644--1911 AD). It is mainly used for imperial court etiquette, post-empirical life, and the official residence of the Jingzhong government. A few are used for folk celebrations.
The pattern and ornamentation of Chinese carpet patterns are nicknamed the world for their grandeur, solemnity, and elegant color. After 1920, Chinese carpets produced patterns such as colored branches and art.
It is roughly divided into two processes: spinning and weaving. The origin of Chinese textile has been passed down from the sericulture of silkworms. The archaeology found bone needles on the archaeological sites of the cavemen of the Paleolithic Age. It is the earliest known origin of textiles. In the Neolithic Age, the spinning wheel was invented, which made the wire more convenient. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the original textile machine appeared: spinning wheel, rolling car, and the jacquard machine was invented during the Han Dynasty. Song Dynasty Song Yingxing compiled the Tiangong opening material to incorporate the textile technology. among them. China's most famous textiles are silk. The trade of silk has promoted the cultural exchanges and traffic development between the East and the West, and indirectly influenced the commercial and military affairs of the West. In the early stage of the British Industrial Revolution, there was a factory with meticulous division of labor. However, the cotton yarn produced by 6-8 spinning companies could only supply one weaver woven cotton cloth, causing the so-called “staple shortage”. In 1765, a British weaver named Hargreaves invented a new type of spinning machine. He named the machine with his daughter's name, the famous Jenny spinning machine. The improvement and invention of the new spinning machine led to the development of the British textile industry, which indirectly affected the future of the Indian Gandhi uncooperative movement.
