A long history: the thousand-year evolution from Chinese etiquette to intimate clothing
That origin can be traced back to the pre-Qin period. The relevant records in "Zuo Zhuan" serve as confirmation, reflecting its long heritage in the history of Chinese clothing.
Its shape is regular and neat, mostly in the shape of a rhombus, with a flat upper part and a sharp lower part. It covers the chest to protect the abdomen and is not used on the back. This structural design of "only covering the chest" is exactly the subtle expression of Chinese ethics that is subtle but not exposed, and strives to cultivate oneself and make behaviors consistent with morality.
Above the five corners, a silk ribbon is used to tie the neck, and then the silk ribbon is wrapped around the back, and then the knot is completed at the back of the neck and the back. This presentation is not only in line with the expression of ergonomic principles, but also cleverly coincides with the concept of orientation covering the four directions of heaven and earth. It embodies the idea of "harmony between man and nature" and is an extremely exquisite and delicate practice in the category of clothing worn by ordinary people.
Patterns convey the truth: the poetic interweaving of auspicious patterns and folk beliefs
The bellyband embroidered with exquisite patterns demonstrates the beauty in a unique aesthetic sense. Its significance is not only to cover the body with clothing, but also to be a vivid and vivid presentation form that carries the rich, diverse and distinctive folk culture and its exquisite connotations. This presentation form is based on physical objects.
The decorative themes are rich and diverse, including flowers, birds, fish and insects, allusions to characters, and auspicious birds and mythical beasts <or auspicious birds and beasts>. All of them are a manifestation of the situation that "the picture must be intentional and the meaning must be auspicious", <period can be replaced with other punctuation>.
You can often see that style, which is called "happy brows" composed of magpies and plum blossoms, and uses the homophonic sound to express a vision; like the one called "Qilin sends a child", it contains a very ardent expectation for the clan to continue to multiply and for the country to prosper.
In terms of the methods of modeling, the realistic method and the freehand method are carried out at the same time. Just like the shape of the unicorn, it has a high degree of generalization and an extraordinary expression. It shows the pursuit of reaching the highest level of "depicting charm through shape" in Chinese aesthetics.
In terms of the use of colors, there is a relatively strict way to follow the etiquette hierarchy. Golden and bright blue are used as the royal color. You can see that in pink and green, the color that is more common in court beauties is often used in matching color choices. You can find it in cyan, blue and ocher brown. Inside, the colors used by the common people to dress tend to be chosen, and black is often used as a color preferred by the elders. This method is used to "distinguish superiority and inferiority and indicate rank", which profoundly reflects the patriarchal order of "different etiquette" in ancient society.
Ingenuity and craftsmanship: the aesthetic unity of female red techniques and philosophical implications
The production of bellyband embodies the exquisite wisdom and craftsmanship of traditional female celebrities .
As for the selection of materials, leno is a kind of material, silk is also a kind of material, and cotton is also a kind of material. They each have different uses. Close to the skin, they fully demonstrate the humanistic care that embodies the mentality of cherishing material resources.
Embroidery, as one of them, embroidery also belongs to this category, as well as buckles, etc. These so-called decorative skills are not just decorative methods, but more importantly, the unique connotation and artistic talent of Chinese women's virtues, both of which are concentrated in the overall presentation here.
Each exquisite and beautiful piece of bellyband is an ultra-small folk painting, which stores the instructions given by the mother to her daughter and the deep emotions given by the wife to her husband.
