Why did the Ming Dynasty belt tie but not tie it? What did the belt represent at that time?

The belt of the Ming Dynasty is tied but not tied, the waist plays a decorative role, there is no work of cordicing the waist, but when decorating the utensils, wearing it seems to be generous, in order to maintain balance, it must be held by hand to present the end belt of the robe, the belt of Zhu Yuanzhang is a symbol of status, and the grade of ** can be seen through the belt.

Because if the belt is not tied, it can make people look more generous and magnificent, and the belt at that time was only a decorative function. At that time, the belt represented status, and the emperor had to recognize the ** through the belt.

In the Ming Dynasty, the belt was not tied to be more conspicuous, and in order to be seen by others, the belt represented status at that time.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the leather belt should be a real bundle and a virtual bundle, but in the early Ming Dynasty (it is presumed that it was the third year of Yongle) for most of the time, it was the virtual bundle, which should be the leather belt developed to a certain extent and became a symbolic east, and the accessories of the leather belt have been standardized - three sets, six round peaches, two small squares of auxiliary bi, the tail of the house and the seven squares in the back.

There is a record in the "Reading the World", which clearly shows the situation of the leather belt when wearing regular clothes (round-necked complement robes), and many Ming Dynasty portraits, standing ** often hold the leather belt with their hands and maintain a straight posture: "The round neck has a splendid square mending ...... on the back."The belt is made of leather, wrapped in green silk, decorated with rhino jade, cyan, gold and silver, one or two square pieces on the front, two small auxiliary pieces on the side, three round pieces in each row on the left and right, and the front of this belt is also. There are plug tails to the back, seen behind the sleeves, and the back is connected with seven square pieces to the foot, wide and round, not tied to the waist, round necks and two flanks, each has a thin button through the scarf and hangs it, take it seriously neat and tidy.

The last sentence here already says "wide and round, not bound". The leather belt in the opera costumes can obviously be seen to be derived from the Ming-style leather belt, and the three Taiwans, round peaches, and Paifang are all there, but the direction of the tail of the mansion is reversed.

The belt of the Ming Dynasty, unlike other dynasties, is not used to tie the waist, but is a symbol of identity, status, and power, and is an ornament of official uniforms.

The belt of the civil official of the Ming Dynasty was a status symbol, and different belts symbolized different statuses. The reason why it is not tied is because there is too much decoration and there is no practicality at all.
