Comment: None of the sources mention Shuitianyi? Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- All the sources mention Shuitianyi and/or are related to Shuitianyi (but it seems that there may be some inconsistencies on how it is called in English), I wrote a clarification in the talk page of the draft. If anyone can help me develop or edit, I welcome all your help Aklys Erida Aklys Erida (talk) 20:32, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
Shuitianyi (水田衣) (also known as “paddy field garment” or "Shuitian clothing") is a non-religious patchwork gown which was made and worn by women in China during the Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty; it was made by using many pieces of fabric sewn together (similar to Chinese patchwork); the clothing reflected the era’s tendency towards fashion novelty during the Ming dynasty.[1][2][3][4]
Origins and Development
The shuitianyi is a popular, but rare fashion phenomenon, which appeared in the middle and the late Ming dynasty and remained popular in the Qing dynasty.[4][5] The shuitianyi may have originally originated from poor people, who would use whatever leftover clothing they would have at hand for saving purposes, and was initially only popular among poor women.[4] Its origins may have been inspired by Buddhist robes,[3] the Kasaya or Baina, which was made when monks would make clothes out of a variety of useless clothes.[4] It was later adopted by the the aristocratic women during Ming dynasty who found it beautiful, and they began to cut cloth (even from entire brocade) voluntarily into a design shape and sew it into an aristocratic form of the shuitianyi.[4] While the shuitianyi was a popular form of fashion for women in the Ming dynasty, men during this era would also wear baina clothing.[4]
Other versions of the Shuitianyi
The version of the shuitianyi worn by children is called baijia clothing.[4]
