[Quju deep clothing] is a kind of Hanfu deep clothing, which was a common dress in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Shenyi can be divided into straight and curved trains according to whether the train is wrapped around the skirt or not. The skirt of the deep-curved garment is lengthened at the back. The lengthened skirt forms a triangle, which passes through the back and wraps around to the front. A large belt is then tied around the waist to cover the ends of the triangular pleat. Dark clothes with curved trains were more popular from the pre-Qin to Han dynasties when the hakama was not invented. Can be worn by both men and women. Quju has been retained as women's clothing for a relatively long time. From the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, women's deep attire declined, the rut skirt began to rise, and the crotch skirt naturally almost disappeared. Later in the long history, the most popular women's clothing was the skirt.
