The Origin Of Japanese Kimono Originated From The Costume Of Tang Dynasty In China

Kimono is a Japanese tradition National Costume Because more than 90% of Japan's population belongs to the "Dahe" nationality, it is also called "Suo" in Japanese. Besides keeping warm and protecting body, kimono also has high artistic value. In particular, women's kimono is gorgeous in color, beautiful in style, with a beautiful wide belt at the waist, which is simply a kind of art.

　　 kimono According to the records in the biography of the Japanese in Weizhi, the origin of the book can be traced back to about the 3rd century AD This is the prototype of kimono. In the Dahe era, the Japanese king sent envoys to China three times, bringing back a large number of Han weaving, Wu weaving, and craftsmen who were good at weaving and sewing. Most of the Chinese immigrants who crossed Fusang were literati and craftsmen. They introduced Chinese clothing styles into Japan.

In the Nara era (718 A.D.), the Japanese mission to the Tang Dynasty came to China and was received by the king of the Tang Dynasty and received a large number of Royal uniforms. These costumes were dazzling and popular in Japan. At that time, all the civil and military officials in the Japanese imperial court envied them. The next year, the emperor ordered that the whole country should wear clothes imitating the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

In the Muromachi era of the 14th century, according to the Japanese traditional habits and aesthetic taste, the clothing with Sui and Tang clothing characteristics gradually evolved and finally finalized, and there was no significant change in the following 600 years. As for the waist bag, Japanese women were influenced by Christian missionaries wearing robes and belts. At first, they were in the front, and then moved to the back. In 1868, before the Meiji Restoration, Japanese all wore kimonos, but after the Meiji Restoration, men in the upper class began to wear suits, which is commonly known as "Foreign clothes".

During the great Kanto earthquake in 1923, women were still wearing kimonos, so they suffered misfortune or were injured because of the inconvenience of movement. Since then, Japanese women have gradually changed to wear skirts or other clothing. However, kimono is still the Japanese's favorite today. People in traditional kimonos can be seen everywhere in festivals, graduation ceremonies, weddings, funerals and other important occasions to celebrate children's "753".

Twelve orders

When we mention kimono, we should first talk about its origin (historical inheritance).

From the time of the rule of God, Japanese clothing culture has always been marked by "foreign". This is reflected not only in the form of clothing, but also in the weaving technology of clothing materials.

From the time of emperor Yingshen, Japan had close contacts with South Korea and China, which brought favorable conditions for cultural transmission. The emperor of Tui even imitated the clothing of Sui Dynasty and formulated the crown and court clothes. In the era of Nara, imitating the Tang Dynasty's clothes and ways of wearing has become a fashion. However, as time goes on, it becomes more personalized and charming Fashion age It's coming. This is the era of peace.

Heian era is also the "national style era" of Japan. After fully digesting the culture of Tang Dynasty, she stepped onto the historical stage with the posture of a college graduate. At this time, the clothing gradually got rid of the influence of foreign countries, and developed its unique luxury and exquisite characteristics. For example, those who are familiar with Japanese history must have heard of "Tang clothes" and "Twelve Dan". Tang clothing is a kind of formal dress, which is expensive in purple and Fei, resplendent and beautiful. Twelve pieces is actually a way of wearing. She is not twelve layers of single clothes, but twelve layers of clothes called GUI are folded on the single clothes. GUIs are light and transparent. When multi layers of GUIs are stacked, you can still see the colors of the single clothes or the colors, adding the beauty of hazy trance. From here, we can also have a glimpse of the Japanese aesthetic outlook. They both like the abstract beauty and the beauty of reflecting the natural world in a real and meticulous way.

Due to excessive corruption, extravagance and extravagance, the rule of Gongqing finally declined. During the period of Kamakura and murmachi shogunate, the relatively compact and simple Wujia culture appeared, which was also reflected in the clothing. Perpendicularity He Shiwu hat It's fashionable men's wear. It's very popular. Women's wear becomes simple. In the Mitu and Taoshan periods of Yoshida, small sleeves were popular among women. Although they were beautiful, they were still crude compared with the Tang clothes. During this period, the distinctive folk "Neng le" gradually took shape, and the gorgeous and luxurious "NENG" costumes appeared. At this time, Gongqing's clothing did not change greatly, which was basically the continuation of the palace costume in the Heian era. The final integration of Gongqing and Wujia was in the Meiji period, which was later said.

During the Edo shogunate period, although there were changes in men's and women's wear, for example, the shape of women's small sleeves became close to modern times, while men's clothing was popular with feather weaving (black five patterns as formal dress, tea and yellow took the second place), and knot became popular. However, the basic pattern has been set. In the Meiji era, the kimono in its present sense was finalized, and there has been no great change since then.
