A(2026·南通市三余中学期末)
Do you know the horse-face skirts? These Chinese skirts are from the Song Dynasty (960—1279). They have beautiful patterns(图案) and folds(褶皱) on both sides. And there are openings in the front and back of the skirts. This style is called “mamian”.
In the Song Dynasty, women wore the horse-face skirts when they rode donkeys or horses. The openings make it
convenient for women to get on and off them. It is difficult for them to ride horses or donkeys without these openings. In the next hundreds of years, these skirts become more and more beautiful. In 2022, many hanfu lovers started to spread(传播) the culture of the skirts. This helps more people learn about traditional Chinese clothes. “For us, wearing the skirts is not just for fashion,” said Mao, one of the hanfu lovers. “It also shows our love for Chinese culture.”
Now the skirts are becoming more popular. Many famous Chinese people wear them to some international events(国际场合). People in other countries like these skirts too. Many people in other countries buy the skirts from China. A report shows users from more than 90 countries share something about the skirts on short video apps!
Besides the skirts, “new Chinese-style clothes” are also a hot topic. We can see traditional Chinese symbols and modern fashion on these clothes. They win the hearts of many people around the world. All this shows that we are becoming more confident in our own culture.
