Why do zombies wear Qing Dynasty official uniforms instead of Tang costumes or Hanfu? In film and television works, the main reasons why the zombies we see are wearing the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty are as follows:
Historical Background: The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, and its official uniforms had specific styles and colors, such as dark blue, which gave people a feeling of oppression and stiffness, which coincided with the image of zombies.
Cultural customs: Since the Han Dynasty, China has the custom of "taking the bones of the dead for burial" and "beating the dry bone pile" in order to ask for rain. As a result, ordinary people are often dug up and have no chance of turning into zombies. And people who wear official uniforms are usually not casually dug up, so there is a chance to turn into zombies.
Economic factors: The style of the Qing Dynasty official uniform is simple and single, without excessive decoration, and the production process requirements are relatively low. This made it cheaper and easier to obtain to make Qing Dynasty official uniforms. In film and television production, in order to save money, the crew usually chooses to use Qing Dynasty official uniforms as zombie costumes.
In general, zombies wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms are influenced by many factors such as history, culture, and economy. This setting has formed a unique visual style in film and television works, and it also makes it easier for viewers to associate zombies with the Qing Dynasty period. If suddenly a zombie appears in a beautiful Tang costume or Hanfu, will you feel that this zombie is terrifying?
