Extended information:

Belts and belts used to tie the waist. If it's leather, it's also called a belt. In the early days of China, buttons were not needed, and only a few small bands were sewn on the skirt to tie the knot. The name of this small band was "Tiao". The waistband refers to the skeleton connecting the hind limbs of vertebrates with the spine. The waistband bone of human beings consists of ischium, pubis and ilium. In order to keep the clothes from falling apart, people tie a big belt around their waist, which is called a belt. Although it has the same name as the belt used to tie a trouser skirt today, its function is not the same.

In ancient times, there were also clear regulations about the binding parts of belts. For example, "The Book of Rites Deep Clothes" says: "If you take it, you should not be tired of it, and if you are tired of threats, you should be a boneless person." Kong Yingda commented: "When there is no bone, if the belt is bone, it will be difficult, so it should be boneless. This deep dress is also worn in the ceremonial dress of the DPRK. The belt of the festival is close. " Therefore, "Jade Algae" says: "When three points are taken down, gentlemen live in two places. It is the following four feet and five inches. " It can be seen that the binding position of the belt is completely determined according to the different shapes of various clothes.

We can see from the figurines of the Warring States Period and even the Western Han Dynasty that women who wear deep clothes around their skirts often tie their belts at the tips of their skirts to prevent their clothes from falling apart. The height of this kind of belt depends on the height of the skirt. The tying method of leather belt is different from this. Generally, there is a fixed device at the junction of the top of leather belt, which can be used only by overlapping, and it is not necessary to tie each other like a ribbon. Generally, there are two kinds of fixing devices attached to the belt head. One is made into a hook, which is called "hook" or "belt hook"; The other is made into a ring, called "_", or "belt _".
