The Korean ethnic group in China is a minority group that gradually formed from the Korean Peninsula to the Northeast in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In the early days of migration, Korean people mostly lived in remote mountain villages, and the raw materials of their clothing were mainly self-woven linen and homespun cloth. At the beginning of the 20th century, with the penetration of capitalist economy and the introduction of modern culture, woven fabrics, silk, satin and other fabrics began to be introduced, and the colors of clothing also diversified. The traditional clothing of the Korean ethnic group is plain and elegant, with white as the main color, symbolizing purity, kindness, nobility and holiness, so the Korean ethnic group is known as the "white-clothed nation". It is still difficult to know what kind of clothes the ancestors of the Korean ethnic group wore in ancient times, but we can get a glimpse from the records scattered in some historical books in my country and Korea. In the clothing of the Three Kingdoms period of Korea, men wore jackets and trousers, and women wore jackets and skirts. But from the murals of the Goguryeo period, it can be seen that women also wore trousers at that time. During the reign of King Sejo of the Joseon Dynasty, the feudal rulers believed that "clothing is used to distinguish between men and women, noble and humble", and called women wearing men's clothes "devil clothes". Women were only allowed to wear skirts, and were forbidden to wear men's clothes such as pants and long clothes. As a result, men's and women's clothing was very different. Men wore jackets and pants, while women wore jackets and skirts, which became the unified clothing of Korea. The biggest feature of Korean traditional clothing is the slanting lapel, no buttons, and tied with a long cloth belt. Men's and women's clothing is very different. Men wear pants and women wear skirts. The characteristics of men's clothing are that the crotch and trouser legs are wide, and the trouser legs are tied with cloth belts, which is convenient for sitting cross-legged; women wear short jackets and long skirts. The length of the jacket is just enough to cover the breasts, and the long skirt is as long as the heels. Because Korean clothing adopts the flat cutting method, when worn on the body, the straight lines appear simple and bright, and the curves appear elegant and varied, which perfectly reflects the beauty of the straight lines and curves of clothing. At the same time, the color matching of Korean clothing follows the principle of "Yin Yang and Five Elements", using the color of clothing and the material of clothing to interpret different styles, so that the color matching and similar color matching complement each other. But in general, it is most classical to use bright colors for the upper clothes and dark colors for the lower clothes. Most of the traditional Korean clothing follows the folk clothing of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. It is gradually formed and fixed in the long-term production and life of the Korean people. It retains the significant characteristics of Korean folk clothing. In addition, the society, culture, and folk customs of ancient Korea were deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture, so a lot of clothing from the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Central Plains was borrowed, which has important reference value for studying the social production and lifestyle at that time. The intangible cultural heritage of Korean clothing was selected as a folk custom project in 2008 in the "Second Batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage List". (Note: When the project was rated as a national project, the original project name "Korean Traditional Costumes" was changed to "Korean Costumes.")
