In Fu Xi's image

Animal skin


This is a portrait of Fu Xi in pale colors.

Fu Xi is a legendary ancient tribal chieftain. Because of the long history of legend, the author can only depict Fu Xi's image according to his imagination.

Fu Shi, surnamed Feng, is one of the "Three Emperors".

Legend has it that Shennong teaches people to cultivate, and the flint brings fire to people. Fu Xi instructs subjects to make tools, nets, fish, spears and hunters, and also teaches people to sew clothes with the captured skins to resist the cold.

Dressed in animal skin, this is the early human race.

The emergence of this form of clothing should be in the prosperous period of human hunting economy.

The development of hunting economy not only enriched human food, but also provided conditions for the development of clothing.

In the study of human clothing culture, this period is called "the era of animal skins".

From human Archaeology and written records, we can find traces of human skins wrapped in animal skins during that period.


The appearance of animal skins shows the progress of human productivity.

Only by using tools to sew the skins together can they be wrapped around them.

Simple raw material processing has great impetus to the development of human clothing.

All human clothing processing starts with the most primitive sewing.

Seemingly simple primitive clothing can be said to be an important starting point of human clothing.

The miscellaneous beard in the map of the strong woman


"Women's map" is a famous work of the artist of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Gu Kai Chi (346-407).

His paintings are vivid and vivid, and their characters can be described as "graceful and graceful, if you like dragons". This style of painting is also reflected in this picture volume.


 



 

In the picture, women's clothing has multiple agricultural collar and wide clothing, basically following the clothing style of the previous generation, but it is more decorative than the previous generation.

The change is mainly in the lower part of the cutting out a number of triangles, the upper and lower, narrow, layer upon layer overlapping, rich in sense of hierarchy, walking along the wind to float.

This form of skirt is called "mixed" and evolved from Yan and Han Dynasties in the Han and Wei dynasties.

Its shape resembles a golden flag. So it is called a beard.

In addition to the decoration of the hem, the waist is wrapped from waist to abdomen.

They also have slender streamers called beards.

The slightest swaying of a piece of beard and the dancing of silk ribbons and women walking like a fairy in the clouds are light and elegant.

The dress with a triangular pendant beard skirt is called a "miscellaneous skirt and a beard". The miscellaneous beard seems to be complicated, but it has a whole sense of rhythm.

In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the clothing was for "praise the clothes and the skirt" and pursued the beauty of lightness and elegance.

The dress image in this "women's picture" is a vivid representation.


Gu Kaizhi's picture left me a visual image of the costumes during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It also reflected the aesthetic taste of the Wei and Wei period in seeking the illusion and lightness without losing the luxury.
