Japanese kimono from China when the "Wu service"

One of the characteristics of Japanese literature is "brilliant." Yan, is a beautiful color, enchanting gesture, rich atmosphere, poignant realm, charm of power. Japanese poetry, since the collection of poems "leaves set" to fall, love songs, from generation to generation. The first collection of poems in Japan, "Wan Ye Ji," collected a total of over 4,500 short and long poems, of which over one-third were "Xiang Wengeng". The so-called "Xiang Wen" were interrogated and talked between men and women, Concentrate, eager too. This brilliant tradition, starting from literature, infiltrated all kinds of Japanese art and life, for thousands of years. In their daily necessities, cosmetics, clothing, paintings, flower arrangements, and even food containers, ready to see some kind of deliberately Yan, exposed there, dazzling. In terms of what the eyes see, Japanese women's kimono, "Yan" the ultimate. Anyone who sees the Maiko in Gion, Kyoto, dressed in a vivid kimono with a white collar protruding from his gorgeous collar, knows the beauty of a Japanese woman, and in this design is almost unrivaled. I once performed a show of kimono at the Meiji era in Japan with hundreds of pieces of clothing and "belts" on display, each with flowers, cranes, grasses and wood of different designs, colors and moods. Luo Ling tied, color Jing Yan, really beautiful photos. The title of the show is called Meiji Literature. It seems that kind of beautiful embroidery, literary only enough to describe the word. This beautiful "kimono", the Chinese call it kimono, the Japanese said "Wu service." Wu clothes, the Three Kingdoms Wu Wu, Wu's clothing also. Far from the Warring States Wu Yue hegemony, Wu people have already worn this dress. The end of the Han Dynasty this clothes has just begun to introduce civilized Japan. Japanese call this silk cloth "Wu woven." By the Sui and Tang dynasties, a large number of Japanese students came to Chang'an in the name of "sending the Sui Dynasty" and "sending Tang Envoys," and brought back to the government official uniform system. However, Jiangnan Garments continues to flourish in Japan as a gorgeous kimono. This combination of clothing and tenement houses, "screens", "fences" (paper doors) and knees on "tatami mats" created the graceful elegance of Japanese women's walking gestures and dedication. It is inevitable that some people have to ask why this southern garment was not born in China that kind of woman. We were born too late to know the details. However, the six Dynasties gold Qinhuai River style, want to come is not invented by the novelist. And China's history is more unfortunate than Japan's. Golden people hit down, Mongolian hit over, Qing soldiers entering the pass, how many different ethnic ravages. By comparison, the Wushu Islands were left alone overseas, and the three yuan soldier troops were forced to flee by a large fleet for three times, all of which failed to work. So everything that absorbs the past from China can be preserved in its entirety and some can be improved and evolved. Like today's kimono, can be said that the essence of China's clothing and Japanese slender culture crystallization. No wonder magnificent elegance, dazzling. One-and-a-half bridal suits, a total of more than twenty pieces, a skilled clothing division, takes more than two hours to dress a bride. A decent and elegant kimono takes half an hour to wear. Women's kimono, dressed in clothes, can be equipped with all kinds of different "belt." "Band" is a wide band of silk fabric wrapped around the waist, from hand-painted to machine-woven. This "belt" is where the dragon in kimono draws the spotlight. Or gorgeous, or rich Yan, or plain, or ingenuity, from the material to the color, to the design, extremely carry on, an array of items. It is not uncommon for a rich man's closet to have several "bands" worth over a million yen. Ordinary people are also always have one or two, the New Year wedding banquet can come up with the band, tied the band, so that the band will not loose, but also tied to a rope. This rope, name day "bring Yang", its color design, of course, also with the color of the band "gas products." A small rope, you can easily spend a month's salary. Put on the clothes, put on the "foot bag", set foot on the "Snow pack", but also to mention a hand-style bag, one and loaded to be completed. Kimono therefore became only worn during the Lunar New Year and important ceremonies because it was too expensive to be a daily item. Of course there are cheaper casual kimonos. However, this kimono, no fun, has become the habit of older people wearing clothes. Generally speaking, Japanese are thrifty nations. However, having a gorgeous kimono is the vision of many women who are here for life. How to buy a set of ideas. Because the kimono is too beautiful, too tempting. This beauty is also the beauty that generations of Japanese devote themselves to carrying forward. The Japanese have always had such absurdity and perseverance, everything, seeking truth from the spirit of seeking perfection. Kimono today is also the crystallization of a high degree of art and weaving and dyeing and finishing.
