Qin Han Dynasty Mawangdui Quju Robe Wen Ji (Preorder)

This Qin-Han style Quju robe, replicating the form of garments unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tombs, revives Han Dynasty brocade craftsmanship via high-end digital printing. The cloud-scroll and dragon motifs on the fabric twist sinuously: the wispy clouds echo the Han people’s spiritual pursuit of "ascending to immortality"; the hidden dragons resonate with the auspicious metaphor of "divine dragon protection" from Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas). The robe features a dark-brown base, spliced with brown-orange trims and pure-white lapels — the brown-orange draws on the crimson hue dyed with cinnabar in the Han Dynasty, while the pure white imitates silk’s innate purity. As these three hues interweave, an ancient elegance emerges seamlessly. When the sleeves flutter, it’s as if Cai Wenji is stepping gracefully from ancient paintings imbued with the literary grace of the Han and Wei dynasties, carrying the gentle charm of a millennium-old cultural heritage.

Archaeological Evidence & Evolution of Qin-Han Robes

I. Form Evolution: From Warring States "Shenyi" to Qin-Han Robes

1. 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.
2. 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.

II. Fabric Upgrades: Silk/Linen Tech & Class Gaps

1. 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.
2. 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.

III. Ritual Symbol: "Cross-Collar with Right Overlap"

1. 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.
2. 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".
