A vital part of Chinese civilization, traditional clothing plays an important role in the country's history and culture. The Chinese form of traditional dress: "Tangzhuang" or the "Tang suit" is one of the most interesting styles among them.
It is a combination of the Manchu male jacket of the Qing Dynasty and the western style suit. It is usually straight collared, with coiled buttons down the front. Its colour and design are in traditional Chinese style but the tailoring is western.
Four characteristics are distinctive for the Tangzhuang. The Mandarin collar with a front opening is a traditional style of Chinese clothing. The opening is symmetrical and the collar stands straight up. The Chinese knots, being handmade, are used as buttons as well as decorations. Another characteristic is the fabric, which usually is a traditional cloth such as brocaded silk. Adding the western solid cutting method and shoulder pads makes the clothing fit better.
传统服饰作为中华文明的重要组成部分,在国家历史文化中占有重要地位。中国西装或唐装是其中最有趣的方式之一。
它结合了清代满族男夹克和西装。通常直领,有螺旋扣。它的颜色和图案延续了中国传统的风格,但采用西式剪裁。
唐装有四个特色。前开口的立领是中国传统服装的风格。 开口对称,领子是立起来的。中国结是手工制作的,用作钮扣和装饰品。另一个特点是织物,通常是一个传统材料比如锦缎丝绸。最后加上西方的立体裁剪方法和垫肩,使衣服更合身。
