Recently, some stills from the movie "White Deer Plain" were exposed. The director of "White Deer Plain" changed again and again, and finally fell on Wang Quanan. Zhang Yuqi plays the heroine Tian Xiao'e in the film, and has large-scale passionate scenes with Wu Gang and Duan Yihong. It fully embodies the "desire" in northern Shaanxi style clothing.

Adapted from Chen Zhongshi’s novel of the same name and directed by Wang Quanan, the movie "White Deer Plain" brings together domestic first-line movie stars such as Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Yuqi, Wu Gang, Duan Yihong, Cheng Taishen, Liu Wei, Guo Tao, etc., and will be released nationwide on September 13. Judging from the plot and stills of the movie revealed so far, Zhang Yuqi is really passionate on a large scale this time, and she wears northern Shaanxi costumes with an intoxicating "desire". From large flowered jackets to embroidered shoes, and from horn braids to red bellybands, the audience was given a lot of surprises.

In the play, Zhang Yuqi not only dresses up as a charming concubine, but after entering Bailuyuan, even though she is down and out, she is still a bit popular in Bailuyuan. This reminds people of Gong Li in Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum", which also embodies the original attractive female charm, making the men of the land fall under her pomegranate skirt. Using folk costumes to show "Chinese sexy".

>Charming Northern Shaanxi, unique and rough folk beauty

Clothing culture is a long-standing yet brand-new article. It is a reality that is both slow and long, yet subject to sudden and surprising changes in historical time and space. In modern times, people in northern Shaanxi pay attention to simplicity, practicality and elegance in their clothing. Men's tops, whether single shirts, jackets or cotton-padded jackets, are all low-collared and double-breasted, which is called "duimenmen" in dialect, and the buttons are "walnut knots" made of strips of cloth. Women's tops are low-collared and part-breasted, commonly known as long lapels, and the buttons are also "walnut knots". Both men's and women's trousers are large-crotch trousers with a white cloth waist. They are quite wide and have no front opening. When worn, they are folded and tied with cloth belts or thread woven belts. This kind of clothing is suitable for men, women, old and young. Later, girls began to sew their own clothes, using red cloth to sew a sandwiched diamond-shaped "red bellyband". The dexterous ones also embroidered on it and hung it in front of the body to protect their abdomen, instead of a shirt, to prevent the abdomen from getting cold. This is also suitable for both men and women, old and young. Nowadays, red bellybands are only occasionally seen by children performing on stage.

Traditional clothing in northern Shaanxi, interpreting local characteristics

Dudou is a traditional close-fitting clothing in Guanzhong and northern Shaanxi. It is shaped like the front of a vest, with a cloth belt on the top tied around the neck, and two belts on the bottom tied around the waist. Its practical value is to avoid catching a cold in the stomach. Adults have bellybands that fit close to the body and are not exposed, while children look innocent when exposed in hot weather. The bellyband has two layers inside and outside, with openings on both sides, so you can put money and things close to your body. The outer material of children's bellybands is mostly red cloth, while adults' bellybands are mostly made of black cloth, while the lining is mostly made of white cloth. The outer fabric is embroidered with various colorful patterns, such as tiger heads and "five poisons" patterns embroidered on the bellybands of children, and mandarin ducks playing in the water on the bellybands of newlyweds, symbolizing the love between husband and wife.

Cotton nowadays is cotton in form, and thinness is the real theme. The heat is ok, but the most important thing is that it won't affect your figure, and the style can cover up and shape your body. I don’t deliberately throw myself into flowers and bright flowers, and rely on these additional things to embellish and fill it up. I just hope that in the season when everything is withered and silent and the economy is plummeting, with the soft colors and warmth of flowers cuddling together, we can still have peach blossom faces, smile sweetly, be pampered, and easily and actively resist the burdens from different directions.

The special topography of northern Shaanxi and northwestern Shanxi is an external factor for the development of white sheep belly towels. Due to the frequent raging wind and sand, people who go out to work need to carry some items with them to wipe the dust and gravel on their heads, faces and necks. The white sheep belly scarf is a testimony and epitome of northern Shaanxi culture. In it, you can appreciate many things that cannot be passed down in words. They and other unique things, such as folk songs and cave dwellings, together constitute the cultural landscape of northern Shaanxi.
