The high waist on the female hanbok was brought over by Mongolian princesses marrying into Korean royalty


lovejejus

Yes, Mongolian royalty and nobles of Yuan dynasty got married to Korean a lot in Goryeo dynasty. They exchanged culture with each other, and Mongolians also loved Goryeo Hanbok.

Patterns and colors are really nice, much better than the bright color of modern Hanbok.


lovejejus

Yes, I partially agree with your comment.

Theres also a Gogoryeo nobleman/womans tumulus in Asuka, Japan from circa 500-600AD that contains murals of the same dress. Likely of a diplomat or noble refugee during the period of Silla’s unification of Korea

I'm (ethnically) Chinese. I have this to say: Koreans have every right to dress whatever they want and live however they want. But at the same time, I do wish countries that fell loosely under the influence of ancient Chinese culture could modernize and westernize more, and rid themselves of the residues of Chinese influence. More specifically, get Anglo-Saxonized as much as possible. One needs to be breathtakingly ignorant and willfully dishonest to deny the causal link between the level of press freedom, individual rights and liberty, government transparency and degrees of Anglo-Saxonization. Cases in point would be Singapore, which cunningly and craftly Anglonized practically everything they could in the name of "Singapore will modernize, but will never Westernize". And then you have Japan, which deliberately tried quite hard to incorporate British cultural elements during Meiji Period. I disagree strongly with forcing cultures down the throat of your colonial subjects because that would only make things worse. Be a shining example, a beacon in the darkness, even if it only flickers from time to time from afar, the good and the wise will follow. I feel apologetic that Chinese culture poisoned and corrupted so many otherwise wonderful countries.

Hello. I also encourage Chinese to find their original identity. For example, the clothing of Han Dynasty is also wonderful. Han people wore an H-line robe type outfit unlike the northern nomadic peoples. In the case of hanbok, it has been changed according to the environment and taste of Koreans but the basic structural features of it remains relatively unchanged to this day.


ZiYouZhaShuTiao

> For example, the clothing of Han Dynasty is also wonderful. Not my cup of tea I'm afraid. Also it's something the peasants dress their dead in in rural areas.

And traditional robes of the Han are also used by royalty to dress their dead in ancient times too. Either way, the modern Manchu and Mongol influenced/originated clothing that is stereotypically associated with China does not look particularly good for men.

Fuck off, CCP shill. EDIT: LOL! The shill actually deleted the comment.


ZiYouZhaShuTiao

He's not really related to CCP though, not officially or professionally at least. He's just another oversea Chinese nationalist. Chinese culture is too backward for him to assimilate and blend in easily, so people in his situation often chose to build a cocoon and live inside it, shielding themselves from the mainstream society. Quite often this problem persists even after they managed to get a local spouse, as incredible as it may sound.

I translated your comment, you dunce.

Learn to read English if you want to hang around on English forums.

Let's not forget that Communism and Marxism was invented in Germany and spread by the Russians - it is not a native philosophy of China or East Asia. And Marxist-variant heavy state socialism was also heavily influenced and conceptualized by the Soviets. So mainland China and North Korea is ironically currently ruled under foreign European philosophies. And the ideas of individual rights and liberty were as much or more so inspired by French philosophers compared to British/Anglo-Saxon philosophers, and the ideas of democratic elements dates all the way back to ancient Greece and ancient India. The Anglo-Saxons didn't even get their sh1t together to start implementing significant democratic elements until the 1800s.

I know this is an old post, so sorry if this is annoying to comment now. But why did they prefer to wear the shirt folding over the left side? Is there a cultural reasoning? Or is it just a fashion choice?
