What does it mean to wear a gown to tell fortune?

A gown refers to a gown or men's coat, also known as a robe, which was worn by the rich and literati in ancient times.

A gown refers to a long single piece, which, as the name implies, is an extension of a jacket and a wide range of clothing names.

Robe is a traditional costume in ancient China. People who wear robes are usually considered as people with knowledge and status. The gown is based on the Taoist robes worn by literati in the Ming Dynasty, mainly changing the fat Taoist robes into relatively narrow and thin ones, and changing the big collar (horizontal collar) into a small collar (round neck).

Compared with Manchu gowns in the early Qing Dynasty, gowns in the early Qing Dynasty are still spacious, with no horseshoe sleeves and four slits (not only slits at both sides, but also slits at the front and back), and still retain the traditional two slits in Ming Dynasty gowns. In the late Qing Dynasty, China people took it as a formal costume. The robe was cut and sewn at the oblique part, representing the meaning of Fukuda and Bai Na. Different from Manchu flag dress and casual clothes, the gown has no horseshoe sleeves, and it is open left and right.

Significance of modern network

Represents a kind of bondage, a kind of restriction. For example, "education" is also a kind of "robe", which fetters college students' thoughts and actions and puts them in trouble in life and work.

In Lu Xun's novel Kong Yiji, Kong Yiji is an alcoholic in a long gown. He drank alone and stood in the street, so he became the object of ridicule. Kong Yiji's gown represents his identity and position, but it has become his bondage.

The situation in Kong Yiji resonates with many young people now. Everyone uses "Kong Yiji can't take off his gown" to satirize his present situation, and he can't find a good job after studying in college.
