Chapter 185 Live Stream 2: The Beauty of Clothing
Lin Yuxi had no idea of the professors' secret considerations and was busy preparing for her second live broadcast. This time, she wanted to show the beauty of ancient costumes to the audience.
A few hours before the live broadcast began, Lin Yuxi was already busy in the live broadcast room. She was wearing an elegant Song Dynasty jacket, with her long hair gently tied up and a delicate jade hairpin pinned on. She looked like a lady from an ancient scroll.
Under her command, the staff arranged the scene of the live broadcast room in an orderly manner.
"Xiao Li, check that Ming Dynasty Feiyu dress again to make sure there are no flaws when it is displayed." Lin Yuxi said to the assistant beside her while adjusting the hem of her skirt.
"Don't worry, Sister Lin, we've checked it several times." Xiao Li responded quickly.
Lin Yuxi nodded slightly, and her eyes fell on Xiao Wang who was adjusting the lights: "Xiao Wang, make the lights a little softer, to create that antique atmosphere."
"Okay, Sister Lin, I'll adjust it right away!" Xiao Wang quickly adjusted the angle and brightness of the light.
Finally, everything is ready and there are still ten minutes left before the live broadcast starts.
Lin Yuxi took a deep breath and sat in front of the camera with a confident smile on her face. She encouraged herself secretly in her heart: "Lin Yuxi, come on! You must let the audience feel the charm of ancient costumes!"
The live broadcast started on time, and thousands of viewers flocked into the live broadcast room in an instant.
"Wow, the lady is on the air again!"
“Looking forward to today’s ancient costumes!”
"Sister Lin is so beautiful!"
The comments came like a tide, and Lin Yuxi greeted the audience with a smile: "Dear audience friends, hello! Welcome to my live broadcast room. Today we will appreciate the beautiful style of ancient costumes together!"
"First, let's take a look at the clothing of the Pre-Qin period. The clothing of the Pre-Qin period was mainly deep clothing, and its characteristics were that the upper and lower garments were connected and the body was deep." Lin Yuxi said as he showed pictures of Pre-Qin clothing on the big screen behind him.
At this time, someone asked in the barrage: "Host, were the colors of clothing in the pre-Qin period very monotonous?"
Lin Yuxi saw the comments and replied with a smile: "Not really. Although the dyeing technology in the pre-Qin period was relatively simple, there were also rich colors. For example, the primary colors were blue, red, yellow, white, and black, and the secondary colors were green, red, blue, purple, and yellow. It's just that there were strict grade regulations on their use."
As she spoke, she took out a replica of a pre-Qin costume and gently unfolded it: "Look, everyone, although this costume is a replica, it also tries its best to restore the craftsmanship and colors of the time."
The audience exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"
“It feels like I’ve traveled back to ancient times!”
As the live broadcast progressed, Lin Yuxi introduced the curved-hem deep robe and straight-hem deep robe from the Qin and Han dynasties.
"During the Qin and Han dynasties, the long gown with curved hems was a common dress for women. It had beautiful lines and could show off a woman's graceful figure. The long gown with straight hems is simpler and more elegant, and is suitable for men." Lin Yuxi explained while letting the model wear it for demonstration.
"Wow, the model looks so beautiful in it!"
“This dress is so charming!”
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was lively, and the audience kept sending barrages and actively interacting with Lin Yuxi.
"Next, we will enter the prosperous Sui and Tang dynasties. The clothing during these periods was rich and colorful, especially women's clothing, such as the chest-length ruqun and hezi skirt." Lin Yuxi said, asking a model wearing a chest-length ruqun to come forward.
"Look, the characteristic of the Qixiong Ruqun is that the skirt is tied above the chest, which looks elegant and agile." Lin Yuxi gently lifted the hem of the model's skirt to show the exquisite embroidery on the skirt.
At this time, a viewer asked: "Host, can you tell me about the production process of these clothes?"
Lin Yuxi nodded: "Great! The clothing craftsmanship during the Sui and Tang dynasties was very exquisite, using a variety of embroidery, brocade and printing and dyeing techniques. For example, the embroidery on this chest-length skirt uses fine needlework, and every stitch is full of the craftsmen's hard work. ..."
The audience said: "It's amazing!"
“The wisdom of the ancients is truly endless!”
Halfway through the live broadcast, Lin Yuxi took out a gorgeous Tang Dynasty phoenix robe: "This is a replica of a Tang Dynasty phoenix robe. You can see that the phoenix pattern on it is lifelike, symbolizing supreme power and dignity."
"Wow, this is so shocking!"
“I really want to see it with my own eyes!”
Lin Yuxi smiled and said: "As long as everyone is interested in ancient costumes, they can go to the museum to appreciate the real ancient costume treasures when they have the chance."
Next, Lin Yuxi introduced the costumes from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, each of which was unique and a feast for the eyes of the audience.
"The clothing of the Song Dynasty pursued simplicity and elegance, emphasizing the beauty of nature. The clothing of the Yuan Dynasty, on the other hand, incorporated Mongolian characteristics and had its own unique style."
"There are many styles of clothing in the Ming Dynasty. The well-known jackets, skirts, and cloaks all show the prosperity and sophistication of the Ming Dynasty. The Manchu clothing of the Qing Dynasty is also unique, with its unique style in tailoring and decoration." Lin Yuxi explained in detail.
During the live broadcast, Lin Yuxi also set up a question-and-answer session to answer various questions raised by the audience.
"Miss, was it convenient for ancient people to move around wearing such complicated clothes?"
Lin Yuxi thought for a moment and replied, “In fact, ancient clothing was designed with convenience of movement in mind. For example, the size of some sleeves and hems would be adjusted according to different occasions and uses.
Moreover, the lifestyle of ancient people was different from ours now, and they also had corresponding habits and etiquette when wearing these clothes. "
The audience listened with great interest, the popularity of the live broadcast room increased, and gifts kept flooding the screen.
"Thank you all for your support and gifts! Next, we will have the final lottery, and one lucky audience member will win the ancient costume peripheral gifts we carefully prepared!" Lin Yuxi said excitedly.
After the lucky draw, the live broadcast also came to an end.
Lin Yuxi said to the camera: "Dear audience friends, today's live broadcast of ancient costumes is about to end. I hope that through today's live broadcast, everyone can better understand and love our traditional culture. Thank you for watching and supporting us, and see you next time!"
"Don't end it, I haven't seen enough!"
“Looking forward to the next live broadcast!”
The barrage was filled with the audience’s reluctance and expectations.
After Lin Yuxi closed the live broadcast, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a little tired, she felt that it was all worth it after seeing the enthusiasm and love of the audience.
"Sister Lin, this live broadcast was so successful! The number of viewers reached a new high!" Xiao Min ran over excitedly to report to Lin Yuxi.
Lin Yuxi smiled: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. We must continue to work hard and strive to break the record next time!"
While Lin Yuxi was talking about ancient costumes, Su Yao also happened to talk about the specifications of clothes worn by different classes.
