Were women in the Song Dynasty dressed stiffly?

Compared with other dynasties, it does appear more rigorous, so the general portraits of people are also more serious.

Not dull. The biggest feature of the costumes of the Song Dynasty is that they are relatively exposed, and most of the clothes worn by the women of the court have very low necklines, and they will not be said to be immoral.

Not dull. In the Song Dynasty, women's clothing was not only fashionable, but also a world trendsetter.

The Song Dynasty was more restrained on women's clothing, but it was not restrained and rigid, because after Wu Zetian women in the Tang Dynasty took power, the Song Dynasty oppressed women, and it was also in clothing, anyway, it made women's clothes more closed, and in the later period, foot binding was also advocated.

This is only part of the illusion, if you look at the Song Dynasty women in Song paintings, you will find that many of their clothes are very **, **not necessarily exposed.

Of course, it has something to do with the ruling class. Song Zu was still simple and promoted the style of diligence and thrift, and the Song people themselves were relatively conservative. The Tang people are so enjoyable and extravagant, so they wear luxurious clothes.

Of course, in fact, ordinary people can't afford to wear such beautiful clothes, and the gorgeous and luxurious clothes of the Tang Dynasty you mentioned are mostly worn by the ruling class and the wealthy. The rulers of Li and Tang were of Xianbei blood and contaminated with Hu Feng, so their clothes were gorgeous and their nature was open. The upward and downward effects, that's all.

As far as ordinary people are concerned, from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, their clothing system is still the same, and if the Tang Dynasty is not compatible with a little Hu Feng, the costumes will be very different.

The Tang Dynasty costumes were luxurious, and the Song Dynasty costumes were simple.

First, it is related to the ruling class, the Tang Dynasty was strong, the rulers were luxuriously dressed, the Song Dynasty was weak, and the perennial disputes with the Western Xia, Liao, Jin, etc. required a lot of military expenditures, and the ruling class was still diligent and thrifty to enrich the treasury. Of course, it is also related to the personal character of the emperors of the Song Dynasty, many emperors of the Song Dynasty advocated the simplicity and naturalness pursued in Taoism, and did not pay attention to ornamentation.

Second, the culture of the Tang Dynasty is mainly aristocratic culture, and the memory of the Tang Dynasty is more than the court murals, ladies' terracotta figurines, etc., and the Tang Dynasty is mostly preserved as a novelty at that time, not the mainstream. The rapid economic development of the Song Dynasty left a lot of information on the culture of the common people, and the culture of the nobility and the culture of the common people were naturally different.

Third, the climate of the Song Dynasty was colder than that of the Tang Dynasty.

Above, welcome to add.

There are three reasons for this, first, the Tang Dynasty was affected by the four Yi Dynasty, and the atmosphere was open, while the Song Dynasty faced off from the north and south, and the national strength was weak, and the atmosphere was relatively closed.

Second, the Tang Dynasty emphasized martial arts, and the influence of the way of Confucius and Mencius was weak, and the Song Dynasty emphasized literature, and the way of Confucius and Mencius flourished.

Third, Cheng Zhu Lixue of the Song Dynasty was very prosperous, and the hierarchy of respect and inferiority was extremely strict, and the status of women was extremely low compared with that of the Tang Dynasty.

The rulers of the Tang Dynasty, such as Li Shimin, had the blood of ethnic minorities, so they were more inclined to open up in their living habits, which soon affected the people, so the people produced a strong cultural atmosphere, especially women can participate in the government and local administration, which makes the clothing more emphasis on beauty and luxury. Only by opening up the policy of the Tang Dynasty can Chinese civilization have the opportunity to spread all over the world. In addition, at that time, there was a large proportion of foreigners in Chang'an, and the integration of cultures quickly brought about qualitative changes in culture, so we can see that Tang Dynasty costumes had many distinctive cultural characteristics, and they were also relatively luxurious.

In the Song Dynasty, the national strength was also ranked first in the world at that time, but the rulers of the Song Dynasty were inferior to the Tang Dynasty in terms of openness, and in fact, the economic strength at that time was not inferior to that of the Tang Dynasty. Another point is that Cheng Zhu Lixue in the Song Dynasty was in its heyday, when the society emphasized simplicity and simplicity, and women's clothing was greatly restricted. In addition to the court, the folk are more exquisite in craft design, and clothing is no longer limited to luxury.

It has to do with national strength and people's ideology.

The Tang Dynasty was the peak of the feudal period, the cultural atmosphere at that time was relatively open, it was a period of multi-ethnic integration, at that time people were not very serious by Confucianism, otherwise there would be no empress, and the Song Dynasty was different, at that time people were affected by Confucianism was already very serious, women three from four virtues, the door is not out, the second door is not step, women have no status. In short, this is a different cultural practice born in a different era.

This has to do with the customs and systems of the dynasty!

The strength of the country and the national ethos.
