Costume film and television dramas have become popular in recent years. Both fantasy and historical facts have been popular among audiences. However, the audience also discovered one thing while watching the drama, that is, the long sleeves that people in the drama wear regardless of the season, even in the hot summer.
Actually, this is not because the director is not dedicated or the actors are willing to wear it, but the ancient people do. , So even if the outdoor high temperature is as high as 30 degrees in summer, it is not surprising that they still wear long sleeves to travel.
Summer is the hottest season of the year, and it is common for outdoor temperatures to reach over 30 degrees Celsius. In the past, due to underdeveloped technology, people didn't have summer heat supplies. Did these ancient people suffer in the summer? How did they spend it?
1. The cavemen "one leaf covered body"
Although in the TV series, the actors wear the same thickness, , but in fact, in the real historical records, the real ancients have shown that the seasons Things are still very particular, Their clothes are also changed according to different seasons.
In summer,They will change into clothes made of light and light materials. Although they are also long sleeves, they can cool down a lot. In winter, they will wear thick clothes, such as clothes made of animal fur or cotton wool, to withstand the wind and cold.
There are records in historical data. In the Stone Age, many cave people had a preliminary understanding of these things. A lot of cavemen hadn’t evolved completely at that time. Although they didn’t have advanced technology to sew clothes, they used animal skins to keep warm in winter, and grass blades to cover their bodies in summer to cool down. Let your body cool down quickly.
2. Popularization of silk reeling technology
In 1936, the Chinese archaeological team in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province made a very important discovery, where they found the Neolithic Liangzhu culture . After research, it was discovered that the ancients at that time had already mastered the basic silk reeling technology and used this technology to weave a lot of clothes.
This discovery provides valuable clues for the study of Chinese history and culture, and people have a better understanding of the development of Chinese civilization. Many archaeologists have devoted their lives to scientific research, and this discovery is very gratifying.
has arrived in the Huangdi era,The technology of silk reeling has gradually taken shape, and Huang Di's wife has also begun to teach everyone this technology. As the saying goes, teaching people how to fish is worse than teaching people how to fish. After Huangdi's wife popularized this technology, people's lives began to undergo a qualitative change.
In the hot summer, people no longer need to wrap themselves with thick clothes as before, but can choose to cover their bodies with silk fabrics. Compared with thick clothes, silk fabrics are not only lighter in weight, but also lighter and more breathable.
The popularization of silk reeling technology made everyone very grateful to Mrs. Huangdi. In order to express their gratitude and respect, everyone called her "Mrs. First Silkworm." In the later period, due to the continuous development of the textile industry, people's handicraft industry developed more rapidly during the Warring States Period, and the technology became more sophisticated.
3. Social conservative, clothing design changes
During the Song Dynasty, people's thinking was generally conservative, especially influenced by " Cheng Zhuxue", and the conservative atmosphere has been regarded by everyone. Belief. It’s not enough to have a conservative personality. The dress code also requires simplicity and dignity.
Before, men’s clothing had belts and buttons, but under the spiritual culture of the “three outlines and five constants” of the Song Dynasty,The design of belts and buttons has been removed from the clothing. Women used to wear low-cut clothing in both life and travel, and then they were replaced by collars and belts, and their dressing styles have undergone major changes.
The clothing of the Song Dynasty is different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Men's clothing has not changed much, except that the sewing becomes looser and more convenient to wear and comfortable, and the rest has not changed much. But unlike men's clothing, women's clothing has changed considerably.
Tang Dynasty women’s upper body clothing changed from wide sleeves to narrow sleeves, and the length of the tops was also shortened. At the same time, women’s lower body needs to be paired with a long skirt, and a pair of blouses . But whether it is male or female clothing, the people are generous, simple and beautiful.
In the process of historical archaeology, our country has discovered a very valuable treasure, this treasure is called Susha. As the name suggests, the plain yarn is a kind of yarn that is as thin as a cicada's wings. Even if it is stuffed into a matchbox, it is effortless.
can stuff clothes into a matchbox, which shows how light and thin clothes made of plain yarn will be. The light material itself does not lie in how light people wear it, but in the thinness of the material, so that it can be cooler when it is worn in summer. In the summer heat, the ancients wore clothes made of plain yarn to walk on the road, which not only avoided direct sunlight to the skin, but the loose and light style also allowed the clothes to flow in the air, which was very cool.
once recorded, Bai Juyi has a friend who wants to work in Tongzhou area. He once delivered plain yarn to a good friend. Tongzhou The summer is hot. It can be seen that plain gauze is indeed a must-have clothing for the ancients in summer, and its importance is self-evident.
Although plain gauze is a must-have in summer, its cost is relatively high at the time, so ordinary people cannot afford it. However, ordinary people also have a coup to cool off the summer heat. They put on a braided short coat and stretch out their two arms, and then connect the middle with a button, which is very simple and convenient.
This kind of clothing is very suitable to wear while working. Once it gets hot, you can take it off and tie the clothes around your waist. It is very lifelike. Most of the ancient people in the famous Chinese painting " on the river on the Qingming Festival " are wearing such clothes, which is enough to see how common such clothes were at the time.
Modern people have aesthetic needs, and they are very particular about dress collocation. The same is true for ancient people. They also have certain aesthetic standards for dressing. No matter what age, no matter where you go, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basic needs of people's lives.
After solving the problem of food and clothing, people often need to constantly enrich their spiritual qualities and improve their material enjoyment. The world knows the cold and warm,Science and technology are innovating, and the development of mankind has gone from "one leaf covering the body" to the current refinement of craftsmanship. What we are exploring is not only the major discoveries in historical civilization, but also the continuous exploration of the origin of mankind and the true meaning of all things in the universe. .
Summary
As the saying goes, getting rich through hard work, this "rich" refers to not only material wealth, but also spiritual wealth. As mentioned earlier, although the working people cannot afford expensive plain gauze, they use their brains to solve the problem of the summer heat in a more concise way. The spiritual culture they present when they use their brains More valuable.
The continuous development of human civilization is inseparable from such people who are willing to "use their brains" to solve problems. Only if they are always there can our society continue to move forward, and our country can grow stronger and stronger. Only a high-quality civilization can be continued for generations.
