Evolution Of Chinese Skirts

It has a long history.

According to legend, in ancient times, our owners first used leaves or animal skins to form aprons to withstand the cold. According to Liu Xi's "Shiming and revealing clothes" written in the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "skirts" and "groups" also connect many small leaves and animal skins.

After the Qin and Han Dynasties, women wore skirts gradually, and the styles of skirts continued to change.

"Xijing miscellaneous notes" tells an interesting story. When Emperor Han became emperor, there was a maid named Zhao Feiyan who was very gentle and dancer. She was deeply loved by the emperor and became Queen. She was very particular about wearing skirts.

Once, she wore a very beautiful cloud purple skirt and went to swim with Tai Cheng.

When she danced in the sound of drum music, the gale suddenly rose, and she was blown up like a swallow. The emperor hurried and waited for her skirt to be pulled. She was saved, but the skirt was pulled into many wrinkles.

By the time of Jin Dynasty, the variety of skirts had gradually increased.

During this period, the colorful skirt attracted many poetic and picturesque meanings.
