Abstract

China's ancient skirt culture embodies not only the material and cultural value of clothing, but also the thoughts of Chinese traditional philosophy and aesthetics. As a cultural symbol, there is a specific signifier and signified in the skirt, which has a rich symbolic meaning. This article obtains from the ancient dress symbol, discusses its symbolic language form, and excavates the connotation and implication of symbology from the aspects of traditional philosophy, gender identity construction, fashion and folk customs. And it argues vigorously to understand and acknowledge ancient dress for multi-level and multi-dimensional from the symbology.
