There are Han costumes in the Ming Dynasty in Confucius House. What's the mystery of the pattern on the clothes?

As we all know, Hanfu is also known as Hanfu and Huafu, and its full name is "the traditional costume of the Han nationality". During the four thousand years from the Yellow Emperor to the end of Ming Dynasty, Hanfu formed a fixed clothing system. But what was Hanfu like in Ming Dynasty? Archaeologists generally look for objects and records about the size and shape of Hanfu from unearthed cultural relics and historical classics, and the problem comes out. Hanfu unearthed in the mausoleum is a uniform.

In fact, China really has a treasure house of Hanfu, which is Confucius. In the old collection of Hanfu in Confucius House, there is a well-preserved Hanfu in Ming Dynasty. Among them, the most representative Hanfu has the pattern of "Bullfighting". If you want to know the secret of this Hanfu and what "bullfighting" is, let Bian Xiao reveal it to you from the beginning:

Before we reveal the shape of this Hanfu and the "Bullfighting" pattern on the chest sticker of Hanfu, Bian Xiao will talk about the origin of Confucius. In the second year after Confucius' death (478 BC), his descendants and disciples built three temples in Confucius' residence to store Confucius' clothes and other things in order to pay homage to Confucius. It was not until 1377 that the Confucius Institute was built in the Feast Duke's Mansion. After continuous improvement, Confucius has formed a huge scale of 240 mu today.

Because the feudal emperors of past dynasties respected Confucianism, despite the war, the Duke's Mansion of Feast was still relatively complete. Of course, the complete preservation mentioned by Bian Xiao is not only the complete preservation of buildings, but also the complete preservation of "content". For example, after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, people who lived in Confucius' House had to change their clothes in the Qing Dynasty, and the Hanfu given to Confucius' House by Ming Chengzu was also sealed in the inner library and kept intact.

The word "sealed warehouse" seems light, but it is extremely dangerous. You know, in the Qing Dynasty, because of one word, the government often arrested it and cut off its head to preserve the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. What do you mean? It's a big crime of stealing property and genocide. But Confucius' position at that time was really special, and it could even be said that it belonged to an "enclave" outside the laws of the Qing Dynasty. So far, more than 8,000 sets of Ming costumes have been preserved.

These Hanfu clothes are really precious, because they are real "fashions" worn by Ming people. It was because of them that hundreds of years later, we knew what clothes China's ancestors wore in the Ming Dynasty.

Among these clothes, there is a bullfighting robe which is very interesting. Why do you say this is simple. If you didn't see the real thing, you would never imagine that the pattern on the patch of Mindelo's robe would look like this.

At first glance, this bullfight is filled with green robes, especially like a dragon robe, but Bian Xiao tells you that it is really not a dragon robe. He was a special gift from the emperor to Confucius, ranking second only to pythons (first-class officials wear pythons) and flying fish (second-class officials wear flying fish). That is to say, as long as you walk around the capital in this kind of clothes (three official clothes, that is, the deputy minister's clothes), let alone ordinary people, even second-class people dare not provoke you.

Bullfighting looks like a dragon. It's really not a dragon. What is this? Bian Xiao can tell you responsibly that bullfighting belongs to the constellation in the sky. What is it like? It is a "monster" with horns on the faucet.

The Four Books and Five Classics and the contention of a hundred schools of thought are all part of Chinese civilization. As an important carrier of Chinese civilization, Hanfu should be scientifically inherited and developed well.
