中国古诗-陌上桑(节选)

日出东南隅,照我秦氏楼。秦氏有好女,自名为罗敷。罗敷善蚕桑,采桑城南隅。青丝为笼系,桂枝为笼钩。头上倭堕髻,耳中明月珠;缃绮为下裙,紫绮为上襦。

Chinese poem-Mo shang sang (excerpts)
Sunrise at the Southeast corner shines on our Qin clan house. The Qin clan has a fair daughter, and she is called Luofu. Luofu is good at silkworm mulberry, she picks mulberry at the wall’s south corner. Green silk is her basket strap, cassia is her basket and pole. A twisting-fall hairdo on her head, bright moon pearls at her ears. Green silk is her lower skirt, purple silk is her upper blouse.

这首诗通过描写罗敷身上的衣饰让人联想到这位女子的美丽。诗中提到的上襦和下裙指的正是罗敷身穿的服饰。

This poem reminds people of the beauty of Luofu by describing her clothing. The skirt and blouse mentioned in the poem means the clothing of Luofu.

服装是中国文化的重要组成部分。中国千百年来经历了很多的历史朝代,每一个朝代都致力于创造自己的服饰。在考古发现的1.8万年前的文物,如石珠和骨针,证明了服饰文化在中国文明的早期存在。服饰作为一种文化现象,是历史的产物。 它也会随着社会的进步与发展而变化。

Clothing is an important part of Chinese culture. China has experienced many historical dynasties for thousands of years, each dynasty devoted itself to creating its own clothing. Archaeological finds of 18,000 year-old artifacts, such as stone beads and bone needles, prove the existence of costume culture in early days of Chinese civilization. As a culture phenomenon, costume is the product of history. It has changed with the social improvement and development.
