关于服饰的质地
Clothes are different not because of their style and design,but because of the cloth texture too. With the development of silk dyeing industry, silk clothing is various in color and so they are called in many ways, such as “绢(juan),缣(jian),素(su),纨(wan),纱(sha),绡(xiao),绸(chou),罗 (luo) ” ,etc. These words tell how silk are made and dyed in various ways and,at the same time, show also the class difference when people are dressed in different silk.
衣服不同不只是因为他们的风格和设计,布料的质地也会有影响。随着丝绸印染行业的发展,丝绸服装有各种各样的颜色,因此它们有许多叫法,如“绢,缣,素,纨,纱,绡,绸,罗”,等等。这些叫法反映了丝绸是如何制成的,并用各种方式染色,同时,当人们都穿着不同的丝绸,也表明了不同的阶级。
