Description
（简）螺丝衣的底色过于深沉，用金色的丝线刺绣，便能将服饰上的图案衬托得更加醒目亮丽。此螺丝衣运用了刺花和织锦。该套服饰由于年代十分久远，金色丝线颜色虽有褪去，但前胸和后背上精美的刺绣图案仍任在告诉人们它曾经的风采。尤其是两条无拘无束的绣龙，仿佛在游弋一般。至于那些螺旋纹则有待考证，有人说是牛头漩，有人说是漩涡纹，有人说是螺丝。我们推测是回纹的一种，成S状围绕。衣服下摆的织锦为素锦，图案也是中国非常古老的几何纹——雷纹的一种。
(ENG) Dong costume: embroidered with golden coloured silk threads on a dark base colour, the sharp contrast of colours adds brightness to the patterns, making it more eye-catching. Satin stitch and brocade are used. Although the colour of the golden thread has faded with time, the exquisite embroidery gives hints of the former glamour of this costume. The two embroidered dragons are elegantly portrayed as soaring unfettered in the sky. While the whirlpool patterns are thought by some to be designed to mimic a bull’s head, others suggest that they are swirls or spirals, but no firm meaning has yet been confirmed. Our guess is that it is a circular letter pattern that forms an ‘S’ shape. The plain brocade on the hem of the dress features a fret pattern, one of the most ancient of Chinese geometric patterns.
