The history of using buttons in ancient China

About the end of the primitive society, in the period of about four or five thousand years ago. In the Yangtze River Delta, there have been primitive tribal groups with Liangzhu cultural characteristics. At that time, there were stone hooks at the knickknacks of people's clothing belts. It was not easy to wear the clothes belts with the hooks of the stone belts, and the buckles were simple and convenient, showing the status of the users. At the same time, although the stone Belt hook is rough and simple, it is a kind of new product with labor and technology at that time. It is an ornament with certain aesthetic meaning, and it must be a prominent figure of the time.

The hooks of the Liangzhu graveyard in Yuyao Mountain and Yaoshan Mountain in Zhejiang Province were found to be: There were three stone hooks unearthed in the anti-mountain graveyard, with flat square bodies, elaborately crafted, one end with holes, one can be worn and connected, and the other end was dug. They are all 7.7 centimeters long, 4.5 centimeters wide, and 2.5 centimeters thick. They all come from the tombs of the tombs. The hooks unearthed in the Yaoshan cemetery are more delicate and of white jade texture. The shape is a rectangular parallelepiped with a slightly arced surface, one end of which passes through a circular hole of about 0.9 cm, and the other end is formed into a slotted hook by means of drilling and wire cutting. The length is 5 cm long, 2.75 cm wide, and thick 2.2 cm. This piece of white jade is indeed a rare piece of the Stone Age. It is a significant physical object in terms of human costumes and buttons. It is also the kind of button that is currently known and retained in the world.

In the modern sense, the buttons should be "balls or sheets that can be fastened to clothing" or "small balls or sheets that can be buckled by clothes (see "Modern Chinese Dictionary"). According to this definition, it seems that the emergence of such buttons should be very late. Some people say that buttons have only appeared for about 900 years (see Liang Yueying's "The Year of Fasting Clothes", containing the "Overseas Digest" journal 1997 issue 10). Buttons were gradually formed through the input of modern Western culture (see Mei Guoqiang's "Button History", containing the "Shanghai World" Journal, 1993, Issue 1). Of course, this is not the case. From the perspective of image data, at least two More than a thousand years ago, the Qin Dynasty had a modern significance.

More than 20 years ago, a large number of Terracotta warriors and horses of the Qin Dynasty were unearthed on the site of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses on the eastern side of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in Linfen County, Shaanxi Province. Buttons of these soldiers’ warriors had already appeared completely realistic buttons. The image, including the connection between the armor of the right shoulder and the armor of the chest, is particularly evident in the image of the button at the junction between the upper right shoulder and the chest.
