Study On The Structure Of Qiang’s Costume ——Taking Qiang’s Costume In Sichuan As An Example

As one of the ancient ethnic groups in the Chinese nation,the Qiang has a long history.As early as the Shang Dynasty,the records of the Qiang people appeared.Today,Qiang people are mainly distributed in Mao County,Wenchuan County,Li County,Heishui County,Songpan county,which belong to Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province and Beichuan County in Mianyang area.As for the rest of the Qiang people,they are scattered in Danba County,Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture,Qionglai City,Chengdu City,Jiangkou County and Shiqian County,Tongren District,Guizhou Province.It can be said that Qiang costume is not only an important part of Qiang culture,but also a sign of the development of Qiang history.Therefore,studying Qiang costume is an important way for us to learn the history and culture of Qiang.Taking the Qiang costume in Sichuan as the research object,this paper combs the Qiang costume of the past dynasties by means of literature search and physical measurement.It focuses on the structure and modeling characteristics of the typical Qiang costume,and also analyzes the similarities and differences between the Qiang costume of different regions and periods.As a result,it finds that the modern Sichuan Qiang costumes were influenced by the Man and Han costume in the Qing Dynasty in the southwest,and they were mostly in the structure of stand-up collar and giant-flap.In the northwest,they are influenced by Tibetan costumes,and most of them are in the structure of crossed collar and giant-flap.At the same time,by comparing with costumes of Man,Han,and Tibetan,this article summarizes the clothing structure of the Qiang people.On the basis of inheriting the Chinese traditional cross-shaped plane structure,the structure of collar,sleeves and body has been improved and innovated.Therefore,the richness and diversity of the Qiang’s costume culture are shown,with a view to providing the reference data for the inheritance and development of the Qiang’s costume culture.
