The specific history of Tang suit

Tang suit is a kind of clothing in China, which literally refers to the clothing of the Tang Dynasty. Now it refers to the clothing similar to Manchu mandarin jacket, which has absorbed western-style tailoring. The clothing in the Tang Dynasty is mainly Hanfu, which is characterized by horizontal collar, straight front, lace-up and no buttons. The clothes, which are often called "Tang suit" now, are developed from Manchu dress jackets in Qing Dynasty, featuring stand-up collar, double-breasted buttons and buckles, and absorbing some features of western-style tailoring, such as sleeves on the shoulders. It doesn't matter that the clothing in the Tang Dynasty is completely different from the current "Tang suit" style.

Because of the policy of changing clothes and shaving hair in Qing Dynasty, the rulers were forced to wear robes and jackets, which were often regarded as the traditional national costume of China.

Some people think that [3], the so-called "Tang suit" is a western-style cut coat, which has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, so it is not appropriate to use the name "Tang suit". The formulation of Tang costume should be the general name of China costume in a broad sense, and the narrow sense of Tang costume should not be represented by Manchu costume. Manchu in mandarin jacket has a strong feature and a short history, which is not enough to represent all ethnic groups in China and thousands of years of historical inheritance. Historically, Hanfu was the mainstream costume in China before the demise of the Ming Dynasty, which lasted for nearly 4,000 years. However, due to the order of "shaving and changing clothes" in the early Qing Dynasty, it died out, and the history of full clothing was only 300 years. Ethnically, mandarin jackets can only represent Manchu, but not the multi-ethnic groups in China. As the general name of China costume, Tang costume should include the mainstream national costume in China, not just the costume style of 2006 54 38+0 APEC meeting. The "Tang suit" at the APEC meeting in 200 1 year was actually a complete set, and its name should be changed to "complete set". But this statement is quite narrow with Han nationalism.

Some people think that the Tang suit is the costume of China people. Since the Republic of China, this kind of dress has been designated as the national dress, and now the mainstream dress in China is the style of 200 1 APEC conference dress.
