作为第一本专门用英文介绍汉服的图文书籍,本书由北加州汉服社策划创作,系统展示了汉服的发展历程。
全书图文并茂,复原并拍摄了自东周至明代2000年间的服饰,涵盖帝王、士人、妇女、平民、儿童、军士等各阶层。除丝绸、棉布外,还介绍以竹、棕叶等材质制成的雨具与劳作服饰,呈现古代衣物的功能性与文化性。
每套服饰均依据考古出土、古画和文献精心考证,并配有相关文物图像,使读者在欣赏之余更理解其历史背景与文化意涵。书中亦探讨汉服与外族文化的互动:如唐代胡服风尚、元代女装中的蒙古元素、明代融合北族袍制的"弋撒",展现汉服在交流中不断吸收与演化。
本书适合对中华服饰史、传统文化、服装史、人类学和东亚研究有兴趣的读者,也可作为博物馆、图书馆及教育机构的参考资料。通过本书,我们希望为不同背景的读者提供理解汉服与中华文明的窗口,并为当代多元文化交流贡献力量。
