This Qin-Han Dynasty Zhiju (straight-front) robe for summer draws inspiration from the robe designs of the Warring States period. Crafted from premium, lightweight and breathable fabrics, it feels silky-soft against the skin, ensuring comfort even in the heat. The retro patterns on the collar and cuffs exude an air of antique elegance. Tailored to be figure-flattering yet non-constricting, the straight-front cut hugs the body gracefully, highlighting one’s poised posture. Available in four hues — light purple, emerald green, champagne, and scarlet. Each shade is exquisitely beautiful, and whichever you choose, it will infuse a unique classical charm into your summer ensemble.

Warring States Shenyi (Source)
Represented by the No.15 Brocade Robe (Mashan Chu Tomb, Jiangling, Hubei), it featured a cross-collar with right overlap and Quju wrapping (forming triangular "extended lapel hooks"). Made by joining separate upper/lower parts, it was full-coverage but impractical for movement—only for rituals.
-
Qin-Han Robe Differentiation
-
Quju robes (Early Western Han mainstream): Inherited wrap-around design (e.g., Scarlet Rhombus-patterned Gauze Robe, Mawangdui Tomb) with flared hems. Worn in 3 layers (outer curved, middle straight, inner unlined) as noble ceremonial attire.
-
Zhiju robes (Eastern Han mainstream): Vertically cut (e.g., Plain Gauze Robe, Mawangdui Tomb). Popularized after crotch trousers spread (no need to cover lower body), becoming daily wear for officials/commoners and even court attire.
-
Tech & Materials
-
Silk: Mawangdui’s Plain Gauze Robe weighed 49g (12g/sq.m), with silk 30% finer than modern silkworms. Brocades used "four-harness warp weave" (e.g., geometric pile brocade)—exclusive to nobles.
-
Linen: Mawangdui linen had 37 threads/cm (near modern fine linen). Zhou’s ban on "trading embroidered silks" was lifted; merchants/servants could wear trimmed silk shoes.
-
Class-Based Attire
- Nobles: Lady Xin Zhui’s (Mawangdui) Scarlet Rhombus-patterned Robe (cinnabar-dyed, pile brocade trim).
- Qin soldiers: Short Zhiju robes (under armor)—balanced ritual and practicality.
-
Cultural Marker
The Book of Rites emphasized "right-overlap = orthodox"; Han Dynasty saw left-overlap collars as "barbarian" (Xiongnu, Xianbei). Evidence (Mawangdui figurines, Qin terracotta) confirms right-overlap as core of Huaxia attire.
-
Straight-Lapel Popularity Logic
It reflected a shift from "ritual priority" to "practicality": With crotch trousers, straight-lapel robes suited daily use—officials wore black-trimmed court versions, commoners wore short-lapel styles, covering "court to marketplace".
Qin-Han robes combined form differentiation (Quju-curved for ritual, Zhiju-straight for convenience), fabric stratification (silk/brocade for nobles, linen for commoners), and symbol unification (right-overlap collars). They turned Warring States’ ritual "shenyi" into universal attire—from Mawangdui’s gauze robes to Eastern Han stone-carved "Chanyu court robes", embodying "governing via ritual attire" and becoming a core Chinese clothing gene.
