When it comes to ancient clothing, the most thought of is probably the emperor's dragon robe. The emperor is the ninth and fifth of the emperor, so should the dragon robe he wears be washed? The answer is very clear, can not be washed, because the emperor's dragon robe is more than ten people, it took several months to complete, that is, the emperor's clothes can only be worn and can not be washed. So how did the emperor avoid himself and his concubines from being smoked?
There was a report in the past that a customer took a valuable Chanel coat to the laundromat for dry cleaning, but it was eventually washed, and the customer demanded compensation from the store. The store is very helpless, call chanel customer service to inquire, and finally learned that chanel has never considered washing in the design of clothes, which also understands from the side that this expensive dress cannot be washed, can only be worn.
That in ancient times, the emperor's clothes were a hundred times more expensive than the current clothes, so how did the ancients deal with it? This has to start with the production process of the dragon robe. The dragon robe is generally divided into yellow, embroidered with 9 dragons, interspersed with five-colored clouds. The color selection of the dragon robe is also quite exquisite, and it is very strict. Then why did the emperor's dragon robe have nine dragons embroidered on it?
Because the ancient emperors were influenced by the "Yi Zhou", they advocated the "Dignity of the Nine-Five-Year Plan". In "Yi Qian", it is said: "Ninety-five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adults." This means that this dragon has flown into the sky, is the true son of heaven, and also indicates the preciousness of the emperor's identity.
The first person in China's history to wear a yellow dragon robe was Emperor Wen of Sui, and the emperors in later history basically followed the yellow system. Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Xia Dynasty advocated black, the Zhou Dynasty advocated red, and in the Qin Dynasty, black was popular, each dynasty had its own characteristics, and the words on the dragon robe also had various colors such as vermilion, jujube red, and saffron.
The workmanship of the dragon robe is also divided into two kinds, mainly embroidery and silk, embroidery is relatively simple, and the process of silk is relatively complex, the process is called "even warp and weft". In the Song Dynasty, it was used in other costumes, but in the Qing Dynasty, because the process of reeling took a long time, and it was completed by many people at the same time, so this process was mostly used on the dragon robe.
And the emperor's clothes are also many kinds, more than one or two, including regular clothes, normal living wear. There are also costumes, which are specially worn on holidays, green clothes, large festivals, funerals, and military uniforms, hunting, riding and shooting. The dragon robe was mainly worn by the Hundred Officials Dynasty and the envoys of the vassal countries, mainly to show the imperial prestige of our country.
Then many people will ask, the dragon robe worn by the emperor is not washed for many years, and he is not afraid of smoking it with himself and his concubines? In fact, the emperor's dragon robe has dozens of pieces, and it is not worn every day, the emperor should also pay attention to comfort, in the palace, basically wear a piece of pajama-like casual clothes on the line, and after washing, there are special people to take care of it, keep the dragon robe not folded, not faded.
Therefore, the dragon robe worn by the emperor is basically changed frequently, and the time worn each time will not be too long, and there are special people to take care of it at the first time, so there is generally no taste, nor will it smoke to himself and the concubines of the harem, speaking of this, I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients. What do you think about that?
