What was the earliest tie? This is a difficult problem to prove. Because there are few historical records of ties and few direct evidences to investigate ties, there are many legends about the origin of ties, and everyone has different opinions. To sum up, there are the following statements. Tie protection theory: it is believed that ties originated from Germans, who live in deep mountains and forests, eat hair and drink blood, and wear skin to keep warm against the cold. In order not to let the skin fall off, they tied it around their necks with straw ropes. So the wind can't blow in from the neck, which is both warm and windproof. Later, the straw rope around their necks was discovered by ancient westerners and gradually improved into ties. Others think that ties originated from fishermen by the sea. Fishermen go fishing in the sea. Because the sea is windy and the weather is cold, fishermen tie a belt around their necks to keep warm, which gradually becomes a decoration. Protecting the human body to adapt to the geographical environment and climate conditions at that time is the objective factor of necktie, and this kind of straw rope and belt is the most primitive necktie. Functionalism of iron: There are two legends that iron originated from the needs of people's lives and has a certain purpose. A kind of cloth, which is thought to have originated from British men's collars, is specially designed for men to wipe their mouths. Before the industrial revolution, Britain was also a backward country, eating meat by hand, and then holding it to your mouth for chewing. Beards were very popular among adult men. When chewing a large piece of meat, the beard becomes greasy, and men wipe it with their sleeves. In order to deal with men's untidiness, women hang a piece of cloth under men's collars and let them wipe their mouths. Over time, the cloth under the collar has become a traditional accessory for British men's coats. After the industrial revolution, Britain developed into a developed capitalist country. People are very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the cloth hanging under the collar has evolved into a tie. Another legend holds that during the Roman Empire, ties were used by the army for practical purposes, such as cold protection and dust prevention. The army went to the front to fight, and the wife hung a square towel similar to a silk scarf around their necks to stop the bleeding for her husband and friends in the war. Later, in order to distinguish soldiers from companies, scarves of different colors were adopted, which became the necessities of today's professional clothing. The theory of tie decoration holds that the origin of tie is the expression of human beauty. /kloc-in the middle of the 0/7th century, a Croatian cavalry in the French army successfully returned to Paris. They wore mighty uniforms and scarves around their necks. They are all beautiful in all colors, and they look very energetic and imposing when riding on horses. Some fashionable dude in Paris saw it and they were very interested in it. They followed suit and tied a scarf on their collars. The next day, a minister went to court and tied a white scarf on his collar and a beautiful bow tie in front. King Louis XIV saw it and praised it. He publicly declared that the bow tie was a symbol of nobility and ordered the upper class to wear it like this.
