A further study on costume of the Song Dynasty:Trend of slender clothes in the painting of ladies and attitude of anti-indoctrination under the bans on using luxury items
To explore the characteristics of Song women's daily dress,which was neither absolutely conservative and narrow,nor completely plain and elegant,and the background of its formation,this article,taking the literature records about costumes in official history books and note-style novels as the main research materials,supplemented by the female images depicted in the paintings and the unearthed relics of textiles and costumes in the Song Dynasty,conducts a relatively systematic analysis of women's daily outfits in the Song Dynasty by comprehensively applying the methods of literature study,image analysis,case study analysis and triple evidence. Research shows that the "slender" characteristics of women's daily clothing in the Song Dynasty had already taken shape as early as the Five Dynasties period,and that the daily dress of the women of the common people was directly affected by the norms established by the decree,and people's spontaneous anti-education attitude made the use of gold craftsmanship,pearl and the feathers of emerald birds and Hufu elements "persistent despite repeated prohibition",reversely promoting the development of fashion of the Song Dynasty costume. This study not only provides a new perspective for the understanding of Song Dynasty costume culture,but also useful ideas for the study of other historical costume culture.
