Huang Qiang said that women in the Six Dynasties period generally wore shirts and undershirts, and skirts on the bottom. The styles were more frugal and rich, with skirts swaying the floor and loose hem to achieve a handsome and chic aesthetic effect.
According to Huang Qiang, during the Six Dynasties, a very popular style of clothing-half sleeves was also produced.
This is a relatively short straight-collared blouse with short sleeves, only a short section under the shoulders.
"Shi Ming·Shi Xian" said: "Half sleeves, half sleeves, sleeves and sleeves." The sleeve length is only half of the long sleeves, so it is called half sleeves.
Half-sleeved in the Six Dynasties did not distinguish between men and women. Men wear half-sleeves and women also wear half-sleeves.
The real thing proves that women in the Southern Dynasty like to wear half sleeves, because they do not distinguish between high and low, and because they can show the elegant beauty of women.
After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, half-sleeves evolved into half-arms, which became popular for men and women.
In hot weather, women nowadays also seek to dress lightly, cool and beautiful.
Huang Qiang said that the women's blouses of the Southern Dynasties of the Six Dynasties became tight-fitting, with straight collars, exposing more necks and chests, and the sleeves were narrow and widened at the forearms.
Wearing ultra-lightweight shirts made of Luosha clothing became a trend for a while. The poet Shen Yue of the Liang dynasty "Song of the Newly-weds": "The skirt is open to see the jade toe, and the shirt is thin to reflect the skin." In order to adapt to the southern climate, a large number of light, soft and thin are used. Fine silk fabrics such as roving are used as clothing materials.
Among the court ladies, the trend of wearing light clothing prevailed.
Pursue the effect that makes the body skin looming.
There is also a kind of clothing popular among women in the Six Dynasties---Dan Luo, which is all the rage and is known as "the dress of the times".
The pantyhose is a loose trousers and skirt.
Huang Qiang said that it was not accidental that Dangluo appeared in the Six Dynasties. It was due to its geographical factors, natural environment, and cultural background.
The reason is that the territory of the Six Dynasties is mainly in the Jiangdong area south of the Yangtze River and Huai River basins, including the current Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei and other places.
Nanjing is sultry in summer, and people prefer to wear loose, light, cool and breathable clothes, which are good for heat dissipation, and the skin is not sticky and wet. This is one of them.
During the two hundred years of the Six Dynasties from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Houjing Rebellion of the Liang Dynasty, the society was relatively stable and life was comfortable. Costumes influence each other, and the clothing styles of the Southern Dynasty have also undergone great changes.
Huang Qiang believes that the clothing of the Six Dynasties advocates commendation and belts, and the beauty of the clothes is generous, the skirt is long, and the hair is high. The nobles, literati's blouses or large-sleeved shirts are fluttering.
