Ao dai is a Vietnamese word (like nuoc mam and pho), this is known to the barbarians. Referring to the traditional dress of the Vietnamese, ao dai has become a symbol of beauty and is recognized and praised all over the world.
Cultural origins
To trace the origins of ao dai, he turned to the Red River Delta. As signers of cheo (Vietnamese traditional works) tour Western, the audience will be treated to diverse and multi- clothing features. The original and popular cheo garment is a four-layered garment called the Northern Delta. Until 1945, ao dai began to be popular in the central and southern regions. In some northern areas, people also wore ao dai with manual labor. The colorful four-panel dress is often alluded to in both folk and 20th century modern literature.
The first beauty of the four-layer dress is the different straps, its country style, and the formation according to the body. This dress has two layers and a spring dripping down to the feet, covering the skirt and cute teenage boy. The toga is straight, rather large, and is tied to the navel with belts of delicate jewel colors, and a veil under the toga; Women wear bright colors pointwomen with different radiant colors: lime green, peach pink, fat yellow, pale chicken. blue overlay, the name “multi-colored multi-panel clothing.” Inside, the top woman wears a type of cabbage that is of one soil color, such as crimson or brown.
Integrate East and West
The traditional four panel dress was changed to a more modern version of ao dai in the 1930s, created by Le Pho and Cat Tuong, two painters who studied in Indochina a href=”https://e-info.vn/tag/museum-of-fine-arts”>College of Fine Arts. The artists modified the traditional four-panel dress ao dai, with different styles of the waist (lose or tight) and neck (oblivious round, high neck, diamond neck, or imitation. The French ball gown), the French called these ao dai clothes behind Cat Tuong, which means “lucky” or “good”, but it is misunderstood as “>buc tuong” meaning “wall” ” or “wall” in French. Therefore, all ao dai of the first period were called le mur ao dai.
Despite the funny, haft-French haft-Vietnamese name, this style of ao dai was warmly received by urban Vietnamese women at the beginning of the 20th century. Europeanized In ao dai, she revived the celebration of traditions and moved to free simple bows or dresses that did not show too much of her figure, with high necklines and relaxed expectations. Over time, le mur ao dai has changed with the evolving tastes of today and has changed into the “ao dai form”, which is highly favored by urban women. Almost 100 years later, the novel inao dai still takes as a surprise.
They receive the full contrast of the modern ao dai. From the shoulder to the navel, use the modern ao dai European style and display the woman’s body: the neck is tight, the shoulder is tight and round, the navel is narrow, and the flap is split. a little higher, attractive skin juice. Today, however, the ao dai still retains the traditional custom of covering most of the body with two splits. Today’s ao dai are thus regarded by Westerners as modest, but honest.
Vastonian men also wear ao dai costumes. In the traditional Bac Ninh love duet, for example, the man sported a chiffon ao dai accessorized with a mitre and an umbrella. At the recent APEC summit in Hanoi, men and women world leaders proudly wore the traditional Vietnamese ao dai.
The more the culture of ao dai grows stronger, the more it challenges the face, some ao dai are too blessed to be changed by designers, losing the traditional essence and finesse of the clothes. The braid can be cut too short, or split into strips like a split banana leaf high, collars that press. and the table in the patterns too complicated. Ao dai also became a clear material by exposing under the toga. As the ao dai worship culture grows and develops, these challenges must be met.
