In the Song Dynasty, steamed corn buns were lined with wooden bones or rattan grass, woven with lacquer yarn, and made into hats that could be taken off at will, unlike the soft-footed steamed corn buns wrapped in towels and handkerchiefs in the early Tang Dynasty. Later, the rattan grass was simply discarded, and it was specially lined with wooden bones, which was flat and beautiful. The first volume of Meng Qian Bitan said: "Shantou has straight feet, local feet, crossed feet, facing the sky and downwind, all of which are fifth-class, and only straight feet can be humble." Straight feet are also called flat feet or flat feet, that is, the feet are flat and extend outward. The feet of the bureau are bent with two feet.

Jiao Jiao is a cross-shaped hoe with two feet tilted behind the hat, which is the style of Liao tomb murals in Xuanhua, Hebei. In the sky, the feet tilt directly from the back of the hat and do not intersect. This style can be found in the murals of Kaihua Temple in Gaoping, Shanxi Province in the Song Dynasty. The two feet of the downstream hoe lean to one side, showing a dynamic trend of balance, which is the style of Tang Wei's tomb in Xi 'an.

The History of Painting in Mi Fei once said that the scribes first used purple gauze as a headscarf without a top, which was called forehead, and later winners used purple gauze as a headscarf with a long top to distinguish it from Shu Ren. Shu Ren has developed from floral headscarves and tapestry towels to carefree towels. Its high-clothing towel, similar to Dongpo towel, has appeared in the night banquet of Han Xizai in the Five Dynasties. Nine old paintings of Huichang in the Song Dynasty in the Palace Museum depict nine people of Huichang in the Tang Dynasty, namely Li, Monk Ruman, Hu Xun, Ji Xun, Lu Zhen, Zhang Wei and Bai Juyi. Clothes and costumes are Song Renye's old casual clothes, which are similar to those collected by Zhao in the Palace Museum. Are you crazy about the right wheel? Used to swim?

The waist is tied with a belt from the back to the front, with two knee-length skirts hanging down from the waist and a shoulder (covering shoulder) on the upper body of the nail.

Although raccoons were popular costumes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the sleeves of raccoons in the Sui and Tang Dynasties were half-jointed and their bodies were not long. In Song Dynasty, the clothes were long-sleeved, with long sleeves and crotch under the armpit, that is, the clothes were not stitched back and forth, and there were belts under the armpit and back suffix. This double belt under the armpit could have been used to tie the front and back skirts, but the raccoon in the Song Dynasty was hung for decoration rather than tying it, which means imitating the form of ancient single (underwear) belts and indicating' keeping the old and keeping the old'. When you wear a robe, you tie it around your waist with silk. There are three kinds of lapels in Song Dynasty: straight lapels and double lapels, oblique lapels and disc lapels, among which straight lapels are the most. Oblique collar and disc collar are only worn by men under public service, while women wear straight collar and double-breasted style.

The pace of life is faster than in the past, and the reflection of clothing style is the shape of pants. Ancient trousers had no crotch, and shorts with crotch were called crotch.

The pattern style of the Song Dynasty is completely different from that of the Tang Dynasty, but its influence on the Ming and Qing Dynasties is very obvious, and almost a pattern has been formed from the theme to the modeling techniques.

In the Song Dynasty, due to the weakness of national strength and the emptiness of financial resources, a large number of tapestries were used to pay tribute or trade to foreigners, and most of the clothing fabrics of domestic rulers were silk yarns, such as objects unearthed from Hejiaso's tomb in Hengyang, Hunan, Zhou Yu's tomb in Maolu, Jintan, Jiangsu, and Huangsheng's tomb in Fucang Mountain, a northern suburb of Fuzhou. In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the royal guards of honor in the Song Dynasty all wore gorgeous costumes, and later they switched to printing, and the printing process was prohibited from being used by the people. However, Tang, the bureaucratic landlord of the Song Dynasty, was forbidden to open a colored silk shop in Wuzhou, his hometown, and use public funds to carve printing plates for printing and dyeing. There is also a famous engraving and printing artist Li in Luoyang Xianxiangfang, who is called "Hua". Book collection (68 1 volume) Suzhou textile famous objects talk about the Southern Song Dynasty Ningzong Jiading period (A.D. 1208- 1224), when Guixing founded a medicinal patch in Anting Town, Jiading, it was dyed green with grey medicine; Stay dry, remove the ashes, and then blue and white, with figures, flowers and birds, poems of various colors, and fill the curtains.

The theme is mainly sketching flowers, combining all kinds of flowers all year round into "one-year scenery" flowers, which also has great influence on future generations.

The theme is mainly sketching flowers, combining all kinds of flowers all year round into "one-year scenery" flowers, which also has great influence on future generations.

Song dynasty silk

Silk fabrics in Song Dynasty mainly include natural and vivid flowers with broken branches and a large number of Hua Niaowen, with elegant and soft colors and realistic patterns. The popularity of silk Hua Niaowen in Song Dynasty was closely related to the rise of flower-and-bird painting in the same period. Judging from the artifacts unearthed from Fuzhou Tomb and Zhou Tomb in De 'an, Jiangxi Province, peony, hibiscus, camellia, rose, begonia, bamboo, plum blossom, day lily and other plants are the mainstream in this period. Generally, peony and hibiscus are the main forms, with smaller flower buds such as plum blossom and begonia, and all kinds of broken flowers are filled in the leaves, forming the peculiar effect of mosaic.

The color matching of silk patterns in Song Dynasty was also deeply influenced by the aesthetic thought of the times and coordinated with the realistic patterns. The overall color tends to be light, soft, elegant and solemn. Bright colors such as bright red, bright blue and bright orange commonly used in the Tang Dynasty are no longer popular. But with shades or brown, brown, lotus root and other complex colors, with white, extremely elegant.

The varieties of weaving in Song Dynasty were also different from those in Tang Dynasty. Light and breathable Luo fabric was a popular silk fabric at that time. The production of China Luo fabric reached its peak in the Song Dynasty. In the hot summer, especially in the south, Romania has become the most commonly used high-grade silk fabric in people's daily life. 1975, more than 50 pieces of clothes, mostly jacquard products, were unearthed from Zhou Yu's tomb in Jintan County, Jiangsu Province. In the same year, more than 200 pieces of different kinds of Luo fabrics were unearthed in Fuzhou tomb. Their Luo structure includes single warp, three warp and four warp that cannot be twisted, as well as various flowers with plain and twill flowers. Four-warp leno is the highest peak of China's ancient weaving technology, and the weaving technology of this leno fabric has long been lost, which has become the historical mystery of China's silk technology.

Vivid and vivid patterns, light and soft colors, woven on the light and thin gauze fabric, make the silk in Song Dynasty present a pleasant breath of flowers and birds.

Women in the Song Dynasty bound their feet,

Farmers' Life in Song Dynasty

It is the poor in rural families who can maintain a monthly eclipse of 2 liters or less than 100 yuan a day; A family of ten can maintain a 2-liter eclipse, and rural families spend one month on self-sufficient floors 15 yuan; A family of ten who can maintain a 2-liter eclipse and spend more than 1 a day is a well-off or well-off household in rural areas. The living standard of third-class households in rural areas is generally estimated as: a family of ten, with an eclipse of 2 liters per month and a monthly expenditure of 15-30. The third-class households in rural areas in Song Dynasty can be regarded as standard yeomen. The standard is that the food they produce can only be self-sufficient. Although such families have a little surplus, they will not sell it in the market unless they have to. According to Wang Sou's words, the property of the fourth-class household in Anxi, Hebei Province "can only be twenty-four" (3), so what is the property of the third-class household? This can be inferred from the boundary between third-class households and the poor and the lower limit of service payment. In the second year of Zongshen Yuanfeng (A.D. 1079), this volume is 299, with five printed articles saying: "Zhao Liang's Fang Lu Guo Hu's service money is exempted according to the rural regulations. At the beginning of the imperial edict, the number of households in China was less than 2,000, and the number of households in rural areas was less than 5,000. After the imperial edict was renewed, the countryside followed the law of excluding possessions from house to house. The most important thing to mention is that rural people are inferior.

We have a general outline of the third-class rural households in the Song Dynasty:/kloc-families with about 0/0 people, 100 mu of land, and a relatively self-sufficient life. With good weather and no natural or man-made disasters, these people live in peace and contentment. The following two examples reflect the real life of third-class households in rural areas. "Three Records" Renzhi Volume 6 "Huangpi Woman in Red" contains: "Li, a villager in Taigong, Huangpi County, Huangzhou, has a chestnut outside the door. On the day of early summer, both men and women in his family were born, and only two girls kept the house. " It seems that this family has enough labor. During the busy farming season, all the energy-saving workers went to the fields, and the girls who couldn't do heavy work when they were young were not idle, staying at home and cooking for their families. For those who have less labor, they have to hire short-term workers to ensure that they don't miss sowing or harvesting during the busy farming season. For example, "In the spring of two years, Wu, a native of Jinxi, was twenty-nine years old, planting rice and writing silk robes from his mother, saying,' Transplanting rice tomorrow, asking for money, and hiring a husband to work and eat'". The original intention of this example is to tell the story of Wu Jiujiu's unfilial, but in fact, Wu Jiaqiong's pawn money is not enough. Because it is unreasonable to hire people with money. His land is not too small, otherwise Wu will not plan to hire Huang Wei. In addition, there are "more than ten mulberries" in his family, which should be regarded as a third-class family with no worries about food and clothing. It is worth noting that you should not think that short-term workers are hired because the main family is so rich that you don't have to work by yourself, but because there is less labor at home. The main family should also work together.

In the Song Dynasty, the family money of third-class households (including the real estate value of land and real estate) was higher than that of 50 yuan in poor villages and 200 yuan in rich villages.

The self-sufficient economy of the third-class households in the Song Dynasty was quite fragile, so we might as well calculate it. For a family of 10 and 100 mu, the main crops are nothing more than wheat, chestnut and rice. Although the yield per mu of rice is slightly higher than that of wheat, the per capita land ownership in the south is much larger than that in the north, so we can harvest 200 stones per mu, including taxes and seeds. About half, leaving 100 stone; In terms of food and clothing, six able-bodied people will have an eclipse of 2 liters, and four young people will have an eclipse of 1 liter, with an annual consumption of about 60 stones, which can save food in the second half of the year. This is the result of an ideal state, that is, good weather, no natural and man-made disasters, 100 mu of farmland is all fertile and the yield per mu is the same. If we consider some practical situations, for example, six strong people are healthy people, and each person can eat ordinary people's daily meals for one meal; (1) In addition, like weddings and funerals, it also consumes a lot of food. Therefore, in real life, for the third-class farmers as middle peasants, if they want to have savings, they must rely on thrift. As the above-mentioned curtain official said, "Eat meat early, drink soup late, and use 1000 yuan every day", so I'm afraid it's only the New Year. In fact, in rural areas, it is not only a medium-sized household, but also a general advantage household.

Dare not let go of consumption. Although their family business is huge, they have a large population, and the consumption of people is far greater than the production of grain when the yield per mu is difficult to be greatly improved. This situation not only appeared in the Song Dynasty, but also existed in the pre-modern society of China. For example, Volume II of Lv Kun's "A Record of Real Politics" in the Ming Dynasty said: "Today's people live. People with land and soil can only spend a year collecting 300 to 200 stone grains, food, clothes and spilled hands and feet. It will take a year to collect 150 to 100 stone next year. Work hard to go up, save money, and never lack food and clothing, but it will not be infinite. " Obviously, a good farmer is like this: it's ok to eat and wear warm clothes, but if you want to "have unlimited scenery", it's hard for their business to last long. In addition, the situation in Zhangbei County, Hebei Province in the 1930s that we described earlier said: "The landlord's family has a lot of land, a big portal, huge expenses, and it is exhausting." (1) The landlord's family is still like this, and middle-class farmers dare not be extravagant. As for those poor farmers, not to mention luxury, even if they can fill their stomachs every day, I am afraid it will be a big New Year. As Mr. Huang Zongzhi said, this is a typical manifestation of "subsistence agriculture". Such a fragile family economy, regardless of political and natural factors, can ruin a well-fed family if one person in the family is seriously ill. There is no doubt that such a family will not be "rich" or "well-fed" for a long time even without the influence of other political and social factors. We noticed that in the pre-modern rural society of China, a new group of rich people just stood up, the old group of rich people fell down, and so on. In the past, many scholars used the impact of commodity economy, the defects of political system and the irrationality of economic system to explain this phenomenon. Of course, it has its credible side, but I think these may not be the most fundamental things. Because for the "quasi-farmers" who are born in peasant families, familiar with rural social conditions and have personal experience, there is no doubt that the fragility of some contemporary peasant families still exists.
