How deep can our misunderstanding of ancient costumes be! Wear Tang and Song Dynasties in hot weather and Wei Jinming in cold weather?

People's understanding of ancient costumes often comes from film and television dramas or online information. There is a strange saying that it is hot in the Tang and Song Dynasties and cold in the Wei, Jin and Ming Dynasties. Is this statement correct? How deep is our misunderstanding of ancient people's clothing?

Wear Tang and Song styles in hot weather and Wei, Jin and Ming styles in cold weather. The clothes in the Tang and Song Dynasties were light and elegant, with more bare skin, so they were suitable for hot weather. Wear Wei, Jin and Ming styles in cold weather, that is, Wei Jinming's clothes, which have many packages and are usually warmer, and are suitable for cold weather. So in real history, did these dynasties dress like this?

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, our impression of Ming Dynasty costumes is often that they are wrapped in many layers, especially around the neck. But in fact, in summer, the ancients could make clothes with leno fabric, which was also very cool to wear.

Take the Tang Dynasty as an example. The clothes in the Tang Dynasty were not as thin as those in film and television dramas. It seems that there is only one dress in the film and television drama, which feels cool. In fact, if we wear Tang Dynasty clothes according to the standard, we can actually see several shorter clothes in one coat. So the clothes in the Tang Dynasty look cool, but there are more pieces to wear. So such clothes will be hot, too.

In fact, ancient people, like modern people, made clothes with thin fabrics in summer and wore warm fabrics or several layers in winter. Every dynasty and generation has its own methods. In a word, it is unreasonable to say that it was hot in the Tang and Song Dynasties and Wei Jin was air-cooled tomorrow.
