The description of the emperor s costume in the Qing Dynasty, the description of the emperor s appea

The appearance of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty: Except for Nurhachi and Huang Taiji who were fat before entering the customs, the other emperors of the Aixin Jueluo family were all inherited with long faces, thin eyebrows and long eyes, handsome and upright facial features, and acne marks on Kangxi's face.

The costumes of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty include court clothes, auspicious clothes, regular clothes, and travel clothes. The emperor's court dress and the crown he wore were divided into winter and summer. The difference between winter and summer court clothes is mainly on the edges of the clothes, with satin in spring and summer, and precious fur in autumn and winter.

The color of the court clothes is mainly yellow, and bright yellow is precious, and only blue is used when worshipping the sky, red is used for the morning sun, and white is used for the setting moon. The patterns of the court clothes are mainly dragon patterns and twelve chapter patterns. Generally, one dragon is embroidered in the front, back and two arms; The waist curtain embroiders five dragons, folds (folding), and nine dragons are embroidered before and after; There are two dragons embroidered and four dragons; two shawls embroidered with dragons; The sleeve end is embroidered with a dragon.

The 12 chapters are the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the dragon, the Chinese insects, the yellow, and the eight chapters on the clothes; The other four kinds of algae, fire, Zongyi, and rice flour are on the clothes, and they are matched with five-color moire.

Qing Dynasty emperor dragon robe.

The emperor's dragon robe belongs to the category of auspicious clothes, which is slightly inferior to court dresses, gowns and other ceremonial dresses, and is usually worn more. When wearing a dragon robe, you must wear a auspicious crown, tie auspicious clothing belts and hang dynasty beads. The dragon robe is mainly bright yellow, and can also be used in golden, apricot yellow and other colors.

In ancient times, it was called the position of the emperor and the honor of the Ninety-Five. The number of nine and five usually symbolizes nobility, which is reflected in the royal family architecture and living utensils. The dragon robe of the Qing emperor, according to the literature, was also embroidered with nine dragons.

Judging from the physical object, there are only eight dragons before and after, which does not match the written record, and one dragon is missing. Some believe that there is also a dragon that is the emperor himself. In fact, this dragon objectively exists, but it is embroidered on the inside of the placket, and it is generally not easy to see.

In this way, each dragon robe is actually a nine dragons, and when viewed separately from the front or back, all you see are five dragons, which coincides with the number of ninety-five. In addition, the hem of the dragon robe is diagonally arranged with many curved lines, which is called water feet. Above the foot of the water, there are many waves tumbling waves, above the water waves, there are mountain and stone treasures, commonly known as "sea water Jiangya", it not only means the auspicious meaning of continuous, but also has the meaning of "unifying the mountains and rivers" and "ascending to the level of eternity".

According to the Song Dynasty's "Shangshu Yiji", the emperor's costume was a twelve-chapter costume, "the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the dragon, and the Chinese insects were painted, and the Zongyi, algae, fire, pink rice, 黼 (fu, black and white like an axe-shaped pattern), 黻 (fu, a pair of back-to-back, left-right-reverse bow-shaped patterns), and the five-color clothes were applied to the five-color clothes. ”

China's crown system was initially established in the Xia and Shang dynasties and was perfected in the Zhou dynasty. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the hierarchical system was gradually determined, the crown and uniform system of "no one else is allowed to obey it" has been adapted to the social class. At the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was incorporated into the rule of etiquette.

In order to show dignity and majesty, the crown of the royal family should be crowned in an orderly manner on different ceremonial occasions. Dressing should also be in different forms, colours and patterns.

When Chinese talk about dragons, in addition to colorful dragon folklore, they will also talk about a special costume - dragon robe. It has long been a symbol of Chinese imperial power and an integral part of Chinese dragon culture. In fact, the dragon robe was designated as the emperor's formal attire, and the history is not too long, originating from the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago.

Before the Ming Dynasty, Chinese emperors also wore "dragon robes", but they were significantly different from the later dragon robes.

First, looking at the dragon pattern of the pre-Qin period, the image is relatively simple and rough, most of them have no limbs and claws, similar to reptiles. The dragon patterns of the Qin and Han dynasties are mostly in the shape of beasts, with complete limbs and claws, but no scale armor, and are often painted in a walking shape, giving people an ethereal feeling, which is not at all like the dragon robe that people are familiar with today.

Second, and most importantly, before the Ming Dynasty, although the dragon pattern clothing was a symbol of authority, it was not necessarily the "patent" of the emperor alone, and other nobles could also wear the so-called "dragon robe".

The sun and moon are located on the shoulder, and in general, the left sun and the right moon, the red sun and the white moon. The sun is often painted with a golden crow, which is the general pattern of the sun pattern after the Han Dynasty, and is based on a series of myths and legends such as "the black in the sun" and "the sun shot by Houyi". The moon is often painted with a toad or a white rabbit, which is the general pattern of the moon pattern after the Han Dynasty, based on beautiful myths and legends such as "Chang'e running to the moon".

So far, there are no archaeological discoveries to prove that the emperors before the Ming Dynasty had exclusive dragon robes. For example, every emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had a portrait of his death, and they were dressed in simple clothes and did not have dragon robes to accompany them. However, although the concept of dragon robes has not been strengthened, among the previous emperors, there were also dragon-patterned costumes as formal wear.

In the ** of the Song and Yuan dynasties, there was already the word dragon robe.

Like this blue gauze rusty gold gown, made of tulle, clear and thin, it is the dragon robe worn by Qing Dynasty emperors in summer. The tulle is embroidered with gold thread dragon pattern, the embroidery is delicate and smooth, complicated and not messy. Let's take a look at this twelve-chapter embroidered court dress, the court dress is the highest registered dress in the Qing Dynasty court costume, and this court dress is the dress worn by Emperor Qianlong during the winter sacrifice ceremony.

The stone blue forging surface is adopted, and the robe body is in addition to the dragon pattern, and the five-color clouds are also interspersed with twelve chapters, and the embroidery is exquisite. The court dress was the highest registered dress in the court costume of the Qing Dynasty, and this court dress was worn by the Qianlong Emperor during the winter sacrifice ceremony. And this bright yellow satin dragon pattern auspicious dress is owned by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the collar and sleeves are stone blue.

Embroidered five-clawed golden dragon eight regiments, two shoulders, one dragon in front and back of the body, four dragons in the placket, and eight treasures in the water pattern.
