Women in the Tang Dynasty broke the rules, preferring to wear revealing clothes to "squeeze" the 1st round, why?

In the ancient feudal society, the status of women was often relatively low, not only had to behave appropriately, but also should not dress modestly, subject to many moral constraints. But not every dynasty is like that.

According to the documents left behind, women in many feudal dynasties in China such as the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty... are bound by the rules of Confucianism. They must dress discreetly and keep their dignified features. However, Tang women had a big change in the way they dressed.

Specifically, women under the Tang Dynasty dressed more liberally than other dynasties. They can wear low-necked shirts and long skirts but are made lighter and more relaxed to show off their charming lines. The waistband is also transformed to lift above the chest, so the skirt will not have a belt.

Why did women of the Tang Dynasty like to wear low-necked shirts?

In fact, women of the Tang Dynasty were very open, not only dressed in a casual manner but also participated in military and political affairs. Professors at the School of History and Culture of Shaanxi Normal University say that the high status of women in the Sui and Tang dynasties was actually inherited from the Northern dynasties.

Nhan Chi Cui, a writer of the Sui Dynasty, was an official in both the Southern and Northern dynasties, so he was very clear about the culture of the two countries, the difference that he noticed that women in the Southern Dynasty were traditional, following the three virtues, the four virtues, and belong to the type of gentleness and virtue. While the women of the Northern Dynasty were more aggressive, controlling the family, and even filing a lawsuit to appear in public with their husbands, he was extremely astonished.

Nhan Chi Cui pointed out that the main reason why women in the Northern Dynasty were under the influence of nomadic culture, later this style of women was transmitted to the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The Sui and Tang dynasties were obviously higher than other dynasties, higher than not only the authority in the family, having a great influence on the husband but also having a political, economic, and military position that before that only men participated, such as Wu Tetian - the only orthodox queen in Chinese history and the feudal era; Princess Binh Duong - the first person to be buried according to military rites... are quite classic and famous characters.

In addition, people who often watch costume dramas will find that most of the women's costumes during the Tang Dynasty were "low throats" (open and deep open necks). At the same time, they are also showing off the beauty of their skin, some of whom are even more reckless in choosing to wear men's clothes.

Are Tang Dynasty women's underwear really as sexy as in movies?

After the TV series Vo My Niang was broadcast on Hunan Radio, a lot of mixed opinions broke out around the story of Tang Dynasty costumes. The image of beautiful female courtiers dressed sparingly, revealing the 1st round on television makes many think that this is a distortion of history. Because in feudal times, women were not allowed to expose a lot of flesh, always had to be discreet and shy.

The style of women in the Tang Dynasty has many special features. At that time, Vo Tac Thien ruled the whole country, she was the first woman to be king, contributing to changing a lot of concepts about makeup and costumes. The highlight is the explosion of colors. Women wear dresses with vivid colors, many patterns and patterns.

If before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese women were restricted by the rules of Confucianism, they did not have a high rank in society and the clothes worn on their bodies had to be "closed to the high wall", keeping a dignified appearance, then when Wu Tac Thien ascended the throne, the clothes gradually became more spacious and flowing.

Women in the Tang Dynasty chose for themselves a shirt with a wider collar and a long skirt that flowed but brought a cooler appearance than in previous dynasties. The costume of the Tang Dynasty was basically wearing 3 pieces of cloth including: skirt, robe, and undershirt. The fabric is usually delicate and light. The most popular clothing styles of women in this era were short sleeves, short skirts, wide sleeves, long skirts, silk robes or short shirts left in the skirt, wearing silk scarves over the shoulders.

The bra is designed without straps, sewn like a strappy skirt and pushed high above to enhance the sexy and rounded features of the girl. In previous dynasties, a woman's collar had to cross two flaps together, not pulled lower than the cleavage, but in the Tang dynasty, the concept changed. The bra is exposed, a long robe or a short-sleeved robe can be used to partially shield it.

In terms of clothing materials, Tang women have a wide selection of fabrics with good quality. Women from aristocratic backgrounds often use silk or bird feathers to make costumes. Meanwhile, ordinary people use woven fabrics with diverse colors. Tang women's clothing also comes in many styles. As a result, they can choose different styles of clothing to use for different occasions.

Not only favoring sexy dressing styles, women in the Tang Dynasty also had a breakthrough in makeup. Fairy buns, buns hanging on the sides, yellow forehead makeup and blue eyebrows are popular. They often put a lotus flower on their forehead to indicate that the girl is at her most beautiful age. All of the above makes women especially beautiful under the rule of Wu Tac Thien.
