Women and Clothing in Early Medieval China (220-589 AD) | EP2 | Chinese Clothing Through the Ages

歷代中國服飾二 | 魏晉南北朝

The legendary Ballad of Mulan originated in a time of great cultural and political upheaval. What would Mulan and her compatriots in the Wei, Jin, Northern, and Southern Dynasties (also called the Six Dynasties period, spanning 220-589 AD) have looked like? How would their way of dress and adornment have been affected by the cultural mixing that nomadic peoples and migration between Northern and Southern China brought about?

This video is the second of six episodes covering historical Chinese clothing through the ages, from the Spring-Autumn Period to the 20th century. Subscribe to see the next episode on Tang Dynasty fashions, up very soon!

祝英台與花木蘭除了都著男裝以外,還有什麼共同點?他們都生於魏晉南北朝(公元220-589)!在魏晉南北朝多元但動盪的特殊背景下,木蘭的「戰時袍」與「舊時裳」要如何區分?我們活用中華服飾文化中心收藏的歷代中國服飾複製品,試圖窺探近兩千年前的服裝與社會。

本影片由輔仁大學織品服裝學院出品,為「歷代中國服飾」系列影片中六部影片之二。歡迎訂閱,敬請期待下集-唐朝女子妝束!
