Looking through a lot of historical materials, I found that Qinhuai at the beginning of the inscription turned out to be a famous city with a long history in Xia Dynasty. According to Textual Research on Surnames, "there is a place name Qinhuai in summer, and residents take the land as their surname." . "Qinhuai" is a place name, which was called in Xia Dynasty. Today, wen county, Henan, is surrounded by Qinhuai, and the land of Qinhuai is the bottom. "Gong Yu" says: "The contribution of Qinhuai, as for Zhang Heng". "Zuo Zhuan" says: "Qinhuai, the place name of Linjiang." "Heng" means to call it, and Zhang means river, which is where the Yellow River is called. "Zuo Qin Zhuan Huai Zhu Shu" says: "There is Huai County in Hanoi County, in the north of the river, the word' Good Qin Huai' is one place, so the cloud is close to the river place name." Wen county, Henan Province is called Qinhuai Land in summer, Hanoi County in Qin and Han Dynasties, Huaizhou in Tang and Song Dynasties, and Huaiqing House after Yuan Dynasty. Qinhuai's achievements are the bottom of this square, that is, today's high village in Peiping, Wenxian County, and the ancient local star mound before the Han Dynasty. The meaning of Qinhuai comes from Oracle Bone Inscriptions's explanation. Archaeologist Luo Zhenyu said, "Qin is like a wine bottle. Guo Moruo said that the word "Xi" above the word "Qin" is the lid of the hip flask, the word "Yue" below the word "Xi" is the ampulla of the hip flask, and the bottom of the word "X" is pointed, so it is easy to store underground. According to the analysis of historical experts, these characteristics of Qin are the forms of ancient Qinhuai area. In Qinhuai area, Taiyue Mountain is in the west and north, and the Yellow River in Wan Li is in the south and east. Xingtai and Anyang are "West" today, Jiaozuo and Qinyang are "Yue" today, and Peiping and wen county are the last ten. Beiping is surrounded by water on all sides, with a protruding highland in the middle. After the Yellow River crossed, it began to move northeast, so it was called the bottom tip. There is a tribe here called Qinhuai family, which was later named Qinhuai family, and was abbreviated to Qin (Tán Yintan) family name, which was called Qin family.
According to the Records of Qinyang History, Qinyang City is located at the southern foot of Taihang Mountain, bordering Bo 'ai in the east, Jiyuan in the west, Pixian and mengle counties in the south and Shanxi in the north. Summer is the first city of Qinhuai, belonging to Jizhou; Shang Dynasty belonged to Gyeonggi; At that time, Hubei was sealed in Tanzhou, and its land was Tanzhou. In Qin and Han Dynasties, it was called Hanoi County, and in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Huaiqing House was set up.
According to the above records, the investigation team believes that as early as the Xia Dynasty, Qinyang was the economic and commercial center of western Henan.
During the inspection in Fengmen Village, to the surprise of the investigation team, one of the three temples in Fengmen Village was dedicated to a pair of stone statues of men and women dressed in official uniforms, showing a dignified sitting posture. On the left is a glaring military commander, on the right is a civilian, on the left is a hag, and on the right is a servant girl. Judging from its dress, it should belong to the costumes of the Song and Ming Dynasties.
Then read and verify the characteristics of Song and Ming costumes. Compared with the Tang suit, the Ming suit is obviously inverted in the proportion of dresses, from the short coat to the long hem, the coat is gradually lengthened and the length of the exposed skirt is shortened. The collar has also changed from a pair of lapels in the Song Dynasty to a round neck. The most prominent feature is that the buttons on the front replace the knots that have been around for thousands of years. But buttons didn't start in the Ming Dynasty, and the form of nailing buttons can be seen from the waistline of knitting coats in the Yuan Dynasty. The use of buttons is also a change, reflecting the progress of the times. In addition, the prevalence of Neo-Confucianism also affected the clothing style to some extent.
In the Ming Dynasty, blouses were narrow sleeves with three collars, three feet long and two or three inches exposed skirts. At that time, a new style was popular in Yangzhou: blouses were 2' 8 "long, sleeves were 1 2" wide, sleeves were inlaid with splendid flowers, and mink fox skin was inlaid in winter. The skirts in the early Ming Dynasty were light in color. Skirt pleats are very popular, with thin pleats and large pleats. Folding decoration is very particular. Some even hand-pleated the whole piece of satin and named it "pleated skirt", and there is a 24-pleated one named "Jade skirt". It was widely used in the Ming Dynasty, and its shape was like a long colorful hanging belt. Each lower bar is 3 inches wide and 5 feet 7 inches long. Take it around your neck and hang it on your chest. Because there is a gold or jade pendant hanging at the lower end, it looks more noble.
Like other officials, the clothing with round neck and big sleeves worn by literati in Ming Dynasty also has a detailed system. For example, the "green shirt" is made of jade cloth and silk, with wide sleeves, soap on the side and a soft towel with soap bars hanging on it. Those who are supervised will not change their services. "This is a suit of scribes unearthed from the Ming Tombs in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. At that time, it was called "straight" or "straight", and scholars in the Confucian scholars often wore this kind of clothing.
In the Ming dynasty, officials wore black gauze and embroidered gold robes in both the royal and official uniforms. The costumes of civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty mainly include court clothes, sacrificial clothes, public clothes, regular clothes, dresses and so on. Embroidered robe is a kind of clothing given by the emperor. Wear embroidered robes with jade belts. The embroidered robe is similar to the dragon armor worn by the emperor. It was not included in the official uniform, but was given by the eunuch and Zaifu of the Ming Dynasty. It is considered a great honor to receive such a gift.
Because the statue of "Fengmen Village" is very old, its protection is not perfect and it is seriously eroded, so it is impossible to judge the identity of the characters. At the same time, we can only vaguely see that the man in the front seat should have one on his chest, judging his official status from his clothes and official hat. However, why do the residents of "Fengmen Village" worship a couple of officials instead of immortals? According to our understanding and experts' introduction, things like this should be the only form of ancestral temple sacrifice. And before we went in, we heard that "Fengmen Village" was once a place where officials lived in seclusion. Although we can't continue to research these facts, from various indications, "Fengmen Village" does have an extraordinary story, and the people who built this village should have certain management ability and cultural literacy.
