Actually, friends who like watching zombie movies have to find a problem. Why are all the zombies in Chinese zombie movies dressed in Qing Dynasty costumes? Did zombies really appear in the Qing Dynasty? China has a long history of 5,000 years. Why don't zombies in movies wear clothes of Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming? What is the reason for the unification of clothing zombies in Qing Dynasty? Come and have a look with me.
The official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty are most like "shroud". Friends who attended the funeral should have seen today's shroud China's estimation superstition is very heavy, but it has been handed down from generation to generation, and it has some truth. In the final analysis, all this is for the deceased relatives, for a better life in the underworld, and for an earlier transformation. Although this practice is unscientific, it is good for the deceased relatives to make a wish, so it has been passed down to this day.
Nowadays, the ground in big cities is in short supply, and cremation is also very popular after the death of relatives. Under the current social development, these customs have changed slightly, but the process still needs to go. However, in rural areas, funeral customs are still valued. It should be avoided on the day of the child's funeral, and people should take away the things before they die, that is, burn them. In fact, everyone who has been in contact with this aspect has seen the shroud. In fact, the shroud evolved from the official clothes of the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, China's funeral rules and customs have existed for a long time, and it was only in the Qing Dynasty that they were perfected. Ancient times were ruled by feudal dynasties. If you can be an official, you can enjoy prosperity and honor your ancestors. The life of ordinary people is very hard. Therefore, after the death of relatives, future generations will no longer suffer for their relatives and live a rich life, so they will make the shroud very similar to the official uniform and wear a lot of gold and silver jewelry to show that they can be rich in the next life. This is also a major reason why zombies wear official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty.
The Origin of Zombies has also been popular since the Qing Dynasty. Before the Qing Dynasty, there was no such thing as zombies, but at that time people believed that there were monsters in the world, which led to the evolution of many religious beliefs to worship gods or gods to take refuge. At that time, the ancient culture was mixed with superstition, and the formation of zombies could not be formed casually. The formation of zombies should also be "in harmony with people at the right time." We can often see in zombie movies in Ching-Ying Lam that zombies will come out of graves on dark and windy full moon nights, endangering people.
The formation of zombies is closely related to the place where people are buried after death and the time of death and burial. Not only that, zombies can't be formed in a day or two. They have experienced long-term evolution, even hundreds of years, and the corpses will change with the characteristics of time, so the types of zombies are very rare. In fact, from the current scientific point of view, the so-called zombie is because the corpse will not rot after death, and it will become a mummy after a long time.
According to the discoveries of archaeologists in recent years, the skeletons in coffins in the Qing Dynasty generally wear the same clothes as the zombies in movies and TV plays today. It can be seen that it is normal for the world to regard all the images of zombies as the costumes of honest officials in order to show feudal superstition and film and television effects. There was a saying in the ancient Qing Dynasty that a corpse would become a zombie if it didn't rot for 500 years. In addition, the style of the shroud is very similar to the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the term zombie was handed down from the Qing Dynasty. It is normal for zombies in movies to wear official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty.
The official uniforms of the Qing dynasty are different from those of other dynasties, and the colors of the official uniforms of the Qing dynasty are heavier than those of other dynasties. The colors are mainly dark blue and black, giving people a feeling of terror and depression. It was Ching-Ying Lam who starred in the zombie film. They all chose the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, giving people the impression that zombies were all dressed in the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty.
However, when Ching-Ying Lam chose clothes for zombies, film and TV effects were also taken into account. The official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty are most suitable for shooting zombies, coupled with music and dark cemeteries, which can really achieve horrible results. In particular, the legendary mysterious and horrible "Maoshan warlock", also known as the corpse driver, gives people a sense of fear. This also takes care of the saying that zombies began to spread in the Qing Dynasty.
Conclusion In fact, there are so many superstitious rumors in China, mainly because China has a long history. Under the rule of feudal rulers, people didn't understand science, so there were many rumors about many things, mostly because people believed in ghosts and gods. In any case, in fact, people's original intention is also an expression of goodwill, but it has gradually blurred with the passage of time. In today's era of scientific development, we should look at it from a scientific perspective, and at the same time follow the related rumors, which is also our awe of our ancestors and cultural heritage.
