luxurious traditional Mongolian costumes in Ordos

The origin of Mongolian costumes can be traced back to distant prehistoric times. As far back as the Paleolithic Age, humans began to decorate themselves with leaves of plants, and later made clothes from hunting skins. On the rock paintings of the nomadic people in the north, it has been seen that the ancient humans in the Mongolian plateau wore a short animal skin skirt around their waist, with long feathers on their heads, and some hips and tails. Moreover, at that time, there were a large number of rough stone rings, bone ornaments and other items, indicating that the nomadic people in the north had aesthetic intentions and aesthetic pursuits long ago.

According to archaeological data, the costumes of the Mongolians are in the same strain as those of the northern nomadic people in ancient China. According to the biography of Xiongnu in Han Dynasty, the headdresses of Xiongnu women who ate animal meat and felt fur were very similar to those of Chahar women, and the costume culture of Xiongnu was passed on to northern nomadic peoples such as Xianbei, Rouran and Turkic, and of course to Mongolians. And one of the characteristics of these national costumes is to adapt to the plateau climate.

Mongolian costumes have their own aesthetic characteristics. Mongolians especially prefer bright and bright colors, which make people feel bright and happy. Mongolians also advocate some pure and bright colors such as white and sky blue. Blue sky and white clouds, green grass in red, a natural harmony. In addition, judging from the style of Mongolian national costumes, commending clothes and belts can not only reflect the curvy beauty of human body, but also reflect the generous and straightforward character of Mongolian shepherds.

Mongolians live in the Mongolian Plateau, and the cold climate is mainly nomadic, so they have a long time to move immediately. Therefore, their clothing must have a strong cold-proof effect and be easy to ride, and robes, waistcoats and leather boots naturally become their first choice.

Mongolian national costume is an inseparable part of Mongolian traditional culture. From ancient times to the Mongol khanate, from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, with the development of history, the Mongolian people of past dynasties have exerted their intelligence and constantly absorbed the essence of their brothers' national costumes in their long-term life and production practice, and gradually improved and enriched their traditional costumes' clothing types, styles, fabric colors and sewing techniques, creating many exquisite costumes, adding brilliant brilliance to the costume culture of the Chinese nation.
