Tang Dynasty Costumes Round Collar Robe Half-Arm Fold Collar Hanfu Chivalrous Suits For Men And Women

A half-arm is a short-sleeved blouse that reaches the waist and does not cover the elbows. To put it simply, the half-arm is today’s short-sleeved shirt, but the difference is that today’s short-sleeved shirt is worn inside, while the half-arm in the Tang Dynasty was worn on the outermost layer of clothing.
The half-arm in the Tang Dynasty was a popular style inspired by Hufu, but the half-arm was developed during the Han and Wei dynasties. However, the history of the half-arm is actually much older. Historical data proves that the Jiangling horse in the middle and late Warring States Period was unearthed by archeology. Many exquisite silk fabric treasures were unearthed from Chu Tomb No. 1 in Shanshan. Among them are a pair of large embroidered silk brocade clothes with dragon and phoenix patterns. The style is long from the waist down, with short sleeves and wide mouth. There are various styles of half-arms in the Tang Dynasty, which can be roughly divided into the following five categories: short round collar pullover style, short wide collar with opposite pleats, short collar with opposite pleats, short v-neck with crossed pleats, and short lapel with crossed pleats.
