Geodeulji
''Geodeulji'' is a small piece of white cloth to attach to the edge of sleeves of hanbok, traditional Korean attire. Its inner is back up by ''changhoji'' (창호지), a type of Korean paper and its width is about 6 ~ 8 cm. ''Geodeulji'' is attached to ''dangui'' (a ceremonial jacket) or ''jangot'' (장옷, a headgear) to cover hands because showing hands in front of seniors was considered not a courtesy during the Korean Joseon Dynasty. Although ''geodeulji'' was originally only allowed for ''yangban'' women (nobility) to use, since about 1900, it began to be used by commoners who could not have a ceremonial clothing like ''hwarot'' or ''wonsam''. They put it on their outer ''jeogori'' (a short jacket) for their wedding ceremony to represent the robe as a formal attire. ''Geudeulji'' is inwardly sewn at the edge of the sleeves and then is turned outwardly. Even though ''geodeulji'' was originally used to cover hands, it prevents the edge of the sleeves from getting dirty, so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jangot
A jang-ot (장옷/長衣; lit. 'long gown'), also known as janot, jang-eui, jang-ui (장의/長衣), is a type of po worn by women of the Joseon Dynasty period as a headdress or veil to cover their faces by the mid-18th century. They were mostly worn by commoners but not exclusively. Jang-ot was originally a form of men's po called jang-ui, which was worn in 15th century. The jang-ui started to be worn by women as an overcoat in early Joseon, even becoming a popular fashion item for women of high status. It was previously one of the most representative women's overcoats; it was worn as a women's overcoat when they would leave their house until the 17th century. According to the principles of the Joseon Dynasty's Confucianism, women were ordered not to show their face to foreign men, so they would cover their faces in many ways while going out. The jang-ot became a headdress by the mid of the 18th century to conceal face and upper bodies when walking in public under this influen ...

Dangui
(; also written with the characters《》; ), was also called (), (), (), (), and (), is a type of (upper garment) for women in , the Korean traditional clothing, which was worn for ceremonial occasions during the Joseon dynasty. It was typically a garment item reserved for the upper class and commoners of this period would rarely see anyone in this garment. It was worn as a simple official outfit or for small national ceremonies while court ladies wore it as a daily garment. Origins It is strongly asserted that Dangui originated from ''jangjeogori'' ( 장저고리; ''long jeogori''), which was worn before the early Joseon Dynasty. Scholars of the Joseon Dynasty had a theory that the origin of Dangui dates back to the time when the Chinese clothing system was introduced to Korea between 57 BC and 668 AD, during the Three Kingdoms period of Korea. This is because the Chinese character 《唐》 was assumed to refer to the Tang Dynasty. However, it is judged that this w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hwarot
Hwarot is a type of traditional Korean clothing worn during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty by only royal women for ceremonial occasions and later by commoners for weddings. It is still worn during the p'yebaek phase of modern weddings. Before commoners wore hwarots, they wore wonsam due to the steep cost of a hwarot. The gown is typically worn with a jokduri or hwagwan, binyeo or daenggi, and yeongigonji, which is red and black makeup spots on the cheek and brow. Origins and development The Hwarot first originated from the Kingdom of Khotan, Central Asia.김소현. 우전 ( khotan ) 의 복식에 관한 연구, 한국복식학회, v. 34, 169-183. 1997. However, the Hwarot worn in Joseon may have been derived from Chinese-style clothing, with its earliest influence from the ceremonial clothing and upper class clothing of the Tang dynasty. Another hypothesis is that the ''hwarot'' worn in Joseon may also be linked to the Goryeo queens' 'big red coat' (''taehong'ui'') which was not ...

Cuff
A cuff is a layer of fabric at the lower edge of the sleeve of a garment (shirt, coat, jacket, etc.) at the wrist, or at the ankle end of a trouser leg. The function of turned-back cuffs is to protect the cloth of the garment from fraying, and, when frayed, to allow the cuffs to be readily repaired or replaced, without changing the garment. Cuffs are made by turning back (folding) the material, or a separate band of material can be sewn on, or worn separately, attached either by buttons or studs. A cuff may display an ornamental border or have lace or some other trimming. In US usage, the word ''trouser cuffs'' refers to the folded, finished bottoms of the legs of a pair of trousers. In the UK, while this usage is now sometimes followed, the traditional term for the turned up trouser hem is 'turnup'. History Between the 15th and 18th centuries, rich men often wore sleeve cuffs ornamented with fine lace. Still today, Catholic clergy have the cuffs of their choir dress ornamen ...

Wonsam
The ''wonsam'' is a female ceremonial topcoat in ''hanbok''. It was worn by queens, high-ranking court ladies, and royalty during the Joseon dynasty of Korea (1392–1910). It is also called 'daeui' (大衣, big clothing), 'daesu' (大袖, wide sleeves) and 'jangsam' (長衫, long clothing).

Yangban
The ''yangban'' () were part of the traditional ruling class or gentry of dynastic Korea during the Joseon Dynasty. The ''yangban'' were mainly composed of highly educated civil servants and military officers—landed or unlanded aristocrats who individually exemplified the Korean Confucian form of a " scholarly official". They were largely government administrators and bureaucrats who oversaw medieval and early modern Korea's traditional agrarian bureaucracy until the end of the dynasty in 1897. In a broader sense, an office holder's family and descendants, as well as country families who claimed such descent, were socially accepted as ''yangban''. Overview Unlike noble titles in the European and Japanese aristocracies, which were conferred on a hereditary basis, the bureaucratic position of ''yangban'' was granted by law to ''yangban'' who meritoriously passed state-sponsored civil service exams called ''gwageo'' (). This exam was modeled on the imperial examinations first s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
