The sleeves are fluttering, and the long skirt is moving to the floor, extremely gorgeous. One bed sheet can be a knight or a long lichen dress. So when ancient people walked on the ground wearing long clothes, weren’t they afraid of getting the clothes dirty?

The sleeves are fluttering, and the long skirt is moving on the floor, extremely gorgeous. Who has never imitated the beauty in TV series when he was a child? One sheet can be a knight or a long lichen dress.

dragging a long dress seems to be a very pampered young lady, a graceful and beautiful woman. All powerful and beautiful women in the TV series wear long floor-sweeping skirts.

However, our imitation show was only the mother's beating and scolding, after all, the bed sheets were stained. So when ancient people walked on the ground wearing long clothes, weren’t they afraid of getting the clothes dirty? Let’s analyze the reasons next!

is very strict in the hierarchy, and the dress is very strict

In ancient times, the emphasis was on the hierarchy system, not an era when everyone is equal. has different status and treatment in ancient times, and even the type of clothes she wears was restricted. If you wear inappropriate clothes, you may be killed.

The current society is free to dress and fashionable. As long as you don’t go naked on the street, it is accepted by people. But it was different in ancient times. If an ordinary citizen was wearing a gorgeous robe, he might be arrested and tortured by the government.

In ancient times, it was normal to see people's status by dressing. The clothes of high and nobles and nobles in the palace were one step higher than those of ordinary people. What we are talking about here is not only the material of the clothes, but also the length of the clothes.

Even though history has experienced a lot of historical evolution, the reform of clothes has become based on Hanfu. The clothes of Hanfu are all dressed with skirts, and short shirts and long skirts can be switched at will.

So there are some considerations for what kind of people can wear short shirts and long skirts. We can also learn some of the TV series, such as the clothes worn by extras, are very ordinary and do not mop the floor. The clothes worn by the wealthy star are gorgeous.

This was the society in ancient times, and ordinary people could only wear short shirts. Yes, they can only wear short clothes, one for the sake of convenience of work, and the other is because of their low status, they are not qualified to wear long skirts.

Not to mention farmers, their families are poor, so it would be good if they could ensure that their families could have enough food and clothing, let alone wear long skirts and clothes. Rich merchants wanted to wear such floor clothes but were not qualified. The status of merchants in ancient times was very low, and they were looked down upon even though they were rich.

People who can wear long skirts on the floor are generally famous families, high-ranking officials and noble palace nobles. , these people's long skirts also have levels.

The emperor's robe must be the longest. If the official's clothes are longer than the emperor, then it is a taboo. It will take a minute to search the house and ask for it. The length of the robe is shortened in sequence according to the official position.

So in ancient times, the question of whether wearing a long skirt would be stained was not present for ordinary people. So how do people with valuable identities face this problem?

The wearing of robes is divided into occasions

The ancient hierarchy is not only reflected in the length of clothes, but also in the wearing of different clothes on different occasions. In fact, it is the same in modern times. The Bureau of Commerce needs to wear business clothes, dresses for dinners and evening parties, and wear regular clothes for daily life.

In ancient times, there were also divisions between regular clothes and dresses. is divided more carefully for the nobles of the palace. They wear court clothes at the court, casual clothes at the court, large-scale occasions, and corresponding clothes at various sacrificial activities.

The ancient clothing matching was very particular, and if you wear the wrong clothes on some occasions, there is a risk of raiding your home. Therefore, the phenomenon of long skirts mopping the floor shown in TV series usually occurs in special occasions.

Even princes and nobles don’t wear long clothes all year round to go out. One is that it is inconsistent, and the other is that it is too inconvenient to travel. They are very capable in daily life, able to cover their ankles, but they can’t mop the floor.

This kind of floor mopping robe will only appear in large-scale events and can't be worn a few times a year. As a high-powered emperor, he wears robes very few times, let alone the number of times others wear robes.

In ancient times, there was no need to consider the issue of dirty clothes when wearing long robes, because the ground must be neat and clean at this time.

Multiple people are serving to clean the floor, the floor is clean and clean

We mentioned above that those who can wear long clothes are all well-known dignitaries. People with status like this must have many servants, slaves, and servants in their homes.

In ancient times, no matter whether it was a lady or a young master, they were accompanied by personal servants around them. The attendant exists to make the master feel at ease. If he can't handle small matters such as dirty clothes well, he will probably be beaten to the board when he goes back.

Wear robes when participating in large events and don’t have to worry about dirty clothes. Ancient people prepared for large-scale events for a long time in advance. Not only did they work hard on the preparation of events, but the cleanliness of the ground was also very important.

There will definitely be no dust on the ground on the eve of the event, and there will be no lot of soil on the clothes. Even if an unexpected situation occurs, the slave behind him will help the master organize his dress and will not let the dress get stained.

Even if the clothes are dirty, rich people don’t have to worry about how to deal with them. After all, you can't wear such clothes a few times, so you can just throw them away once and then change them to a new one next time.

Of course, in ancient times there were objects for washing clothes, they used wood ash . wood ash seems very dirty and has strong cleaning power for removing stubborn stains. Just sprinkle a little on the clothes and the clothes become very clean.

However, the material of ancient clothes was not very good, and it would change color after washing a few times. You must not wear discolored clothes when attending large occasions, so you will prepare a lot of clothes of the same type, so you don’t have to worry about what will happen later.

In fact, long floor clothes were rare in Qing Dynasty , and the clothes in the Qing Dynasty were relatively capable. In modern times, our clothes are more neat, and those who wear long skirts are basically female celebrities.

Actors wear this kind of dress like an ancient lady, and they will not worry about the dirty clothes. clothes are only worn once, and many of them are sponsored by the brand, so I don’t even consider the next time I wear them.

Conclusion

In fact, many clothing in the TV series gave us wrong understanding, believing that women's clothes are long. In the drama, historical basis is ignored in order to pursue gorgeous beauty. After all, it is inconvenient for anyone to wear such clothes every day.

In ancient times, people didn't have to worry about getting dirty when wearing long floor clothes. People who can wear such clothes are very valuable. For small things like dressing, they just need to leave them to the servants to do.

Now our pursuit of clothes is mainly fashionable and fashionable. It has more variety than ancient people, but less solemnity and etiquette. Every era has its labels for each era. Perhaps in a few hundred years, someone will analyze the problems for the more types of clothes we have.
