Gorgeous Nhat Binh ao dai

TTH.VN - The Nhat Binh ao dai is a precious heritage of the Nguyen Dynasty, it has now become a popular dress of Hue women on the occasion of wedding, and been increasingly chosen by young girls when going sightseeing, and checking in, etc.

The collar part of the dress has a large rectangular design, and the two-panel part is fixed with lanyard. When the dress is worn, its front part is shaped into a rectangle, so that why the dress is named “Nhat Binh”. The whole body of the dress is often decorated splendidly with round shape and phoenix patterns, interwoven with flower and leaf patterns, and the words of Phuc (happiness), Tho (longevity), etc.

The Ao dai in Hue life

Throughout the S-shaped strip of the land of Vietnam, Ao dai can be found in every region. Specifically, in Hue, Ao dai has become a part of the cultural identity and unique beauty of the people here. An important milestone in Hue Ao dai costume was in 1744, after Lord Nguyen Phuc Khoat ascended the throne in Phu Xuan, he promulgated many policies and mentioned the modification of costumes. Thereafter, during the Nguyen Dynasty, the court issued an order, creating an opportunity for Hue women in particular and Vietnamese women in general to wear Ao dai regularly. Accordingly, the tradition of wearing Ao dai gradually entered the daily life of people.
