This Qin Han Dynasties "Fate" Zhiju robe (straight robe) traces its design deeply back to the robe styles of the Warring States period. The set consists of an outer robe, an inner robe, a waist belt, and a waist chain. The outer robe is crafted from gauze fabric, with exquisite golden embroidery patterns adorning the chest and cuffs, looking light and elegant. The inner Zhiju robe uses high-end printed fabric, with subtle patterns of bamboo leaves and birds faintly visible. The neckline and cuffs are trimmed with matching golden edgings, which complement the bright red robe body, exuding a timeless ancient charm while showcasing ingenious details. When paired with the waist belt in the same pattern and a specially-made waist chain, the layered tailoring of the Zhiju robe not only conveys a solemn and dignified aura, but also injects a playful and lively touch into the whole through the gold-speckled and bright-colored trims. It truly combines dignity, elegance, and agility in one.

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.
