The Wei and Jin dynasties were a unique period in which social turmoil, poverty and poverty among the people, coupled with years of war, caused the Central Plains to suffer a lot, and external invasions further contributed to social changes. Today, I will only talk about the changes in clothing during this period, from gorgeous Hanfu to simple Hufu.

During the Wei and Jin dynasties, men's clothing was dominated by long robes, which were called "hufu". Hufu is characterized by simplicity and practicality, and compared with the previous hanfu, it is lighter and more suitable for a fast-paced life. In addition, the design of the hufu is also more user-friendly, such as wide cuffs and trouser legs, which can facilitate people's movement. This change in clothing reflects the pursuit of practicality during the Wei and Jin dynasties.

At the same time, women's clothing also changed from the Wei and Jin dynasties: from gorgeous to simple. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, women began to abandon their former ornate hanfu in favor of simple hufu. This change not only reflects women's pursuit of practicality, but also reflects the improvement of women's status. During the Wei and Jin dynasties, the status of women was unprecedentedly improved, they began to participate in social activities, and the demand for clothing also changed.

However, although clothing during the Wei and Jin dynasties became more minimalist, this does not mean that people abandoned the pursuit of beauty. On the contrary, people pay more attention to the processing of details and the matching of colors in simple clothing. For example, the costumes of the Wei and Jin dynasties were often decorated with bright colors and delicate embroidery to show one's aesthetic taste.

From ornate hanfu to simple hufu, this change not only reflects the change of social fashion, but also reveals the evolution of people's aesthetic concepts. This change not only reflects people's pursuit of practicality, but also reflects people's pursuit of beauty.
