【🌊🌟來一趟文字的想像旅程 – 第二章：「帆」！ Embark on a Journey of Imagination with Chinese Characters – Chapter 2: “Sail”! 】

繼上一章介紹的「舟」字，今章將探討與「舟」息息相關的「帆」字。在這一章中，我們將深入探討「帆」字的含義及其在航海中的重要性。「帆」是懸掛在船桅上的布篷，利用風的力量推動船隻前行。字形中，「巾」部代表帆的材質 —— 布，而「凡」則表音，原本意指一種盥洗器皿，延伸出帆在風中時所呈現的凹陷狀態。

我們可以將此與我們的館藏——創作於1850年的畫作《耆英號》進行對照。這幅作品不僅捕捉了當時的航海精神，也生動展現了帆的動態美感。您是否也能感受到這二者之間的相似之處呢？ 🌟

歡迎您親臨香港海事博物館，欣賞更多關於海事和海洋的畫作，並一同想像古人在文字創作中的旅程！🖼️

Following the introduction of the character "舟" (boat) in the previous chapter, this chapter will discuss the character "帆" (sail) which is closely related to boat. In this chapter, we will delve into the meaning of the character "帆" and its significance in maritime contexts. The "帆" is a sail that hangs from the mast of a ship, utilizing the power of the wind to propel the vessel forward. The character consists of the component "巾," which represents the material of the sail — cloth, while "凡" serves as the phonetic element, originally referring to a type of washing vessel, and extending to the shape the sail takes when filled with wind.

We can compare this with our collection—a painting titled " The Chinese junk keying " created in 1850. This artwork not only captures the spirit of maritime exploration at that time but also vividly showcases the dynamic beauty of sails. Do you also sense the similarities between the two? 🌟

We invite you to visit the Hong Kong Maritime Museum to appreciate more artworks related to maritime themes and to imagine the journey of ancient word creation! 🖼️

【「歲月遊蹤」海事攝影展 —— 從黑白相，走到繽紛彩色影像時代Voyage Through Time Exhibition - From Black-and-White Photos to the Vibrant Era of Colourful Images】🌊

「歳月遊蹤」展覽涵蓋 1940 年代至 1970 年代期間，由 Hedda Morrison, Brian Brake 及 Edward Stokes (艾思滔) 在香港拍攝的照片。參觀者將從黑白照片中，目睹戰後香港的荒蕪景象，破舊的船隻與在貧窮中掙扎的人們，勾勒出那段艱難的歷史。參觀者將進入旁邊的繽紛彩色影像，見證港口的繁華與變遷，彷彿隨著時間的推移，與香港共同回顧其發展歷程。⏳

香港海事博物館副館長（策展及教育）麥杰睿表示︰「這是一個難得的機會，在同一展覽中集合了三位備受推崇的攝影師，他們背景不同但互相補足，記錄了戰後香港不同時期的面貌。這些照片準確捕捉港人如何克服戰後的困苦時期，努力不懈地打造一個充滿活力和成功的城市。透過這次展覽，參觀者可以更深入瞭解香港如何復甦以及市民生活的改變。」🚢✨

「歲月遊蹤」展覽現已免費開放，誠邀您蒞臨香港海事博物館參觀，體驗這段珍貴的歷史旅程！🌟

「歲月遊蹤」海事攝影展
日期︰2024年11月13日至2025年3月31日
時間：星期一至五: 09:30 - 17:30 | 星期六、日及公眾假期: 10:00 -19:00
地點︰香港海事博物館，中環八號碼頭
詳情︰Link in bio 🔗

Voyage Through Time is an exhibition of captivating photographs taken in Hong Kong between the 1940s and 1970s by celebrated photographers Hedda Morrison, Brian Brake and Edward Stokes. Through black-and-white images, visitors can witness the post-war landscapes of Hong Kong, portraying dilapidated boats and people struggling in poverty. Visitors can then gradually move to the vibrant colour photographs that showcase the bustling harbor and its transformation. It is as if participants are journeying through a time tunnel, immersing themselves in the rich history of Hong Kong harbour. ⏳

Jeremy Michell, Deputy Director (Curatorial & Education) at HKMM, states, “It is a unique opportunity to have an exhibition by three different, but complementary and well-respected photographers record different periods of postwar Hong Kong. These photographs beautifully capture how Hong Kong’s people overcame the legacies of a long war to work tirelessly to create an energetic and successful city. Through this exhibition, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of that change and its visual impact on Hong Kong and its citizens.” 🚢✨

The Voyage Through Time exhibition is now open for free, and we sincerely invite you to visit the Hong Kong Maritime Museum to experience this precious journey through history! 🌟

【度脫之舞The Last Dance】

在近期大熱電影《破·地獄》📽️中，我們得以窺見殯儀行業的故事，以及人們對生死和來世的深刻思考💭。而在香港海事博物館中，有一件「漢代帶俑陶船」，亦能讓我們反思古代人對「生死」的看法👀。

「漢代帶俑陶船」是從四川的一座陵墓中出土的陪葬物。在古代，陪葬品通常蘊含著生者對死者的祝願🙏，而這艘陶船也不例外。主船艙內有一組人物，包括一名古琴演奏家、一名舞者，以及可能是死者本人。他們在渡過河流🌊的過程中，奏響仙樂♫，彷彿在為死者送上最後一場盛大的演出。這艘船被視為通往來世的交通工具，象徵著死亡並非終點，而是另一段旅程的開端。陶船⛵承載著死者的靈魂，朝著來世的方向航行，讓我們感受到生死之間的深邃聯繫。

In the story of the funeral industry told in the recently popular movie "The Last Dance" 📽️, we can see people's thoughts💭 on life and death. At the Hong Kong Maritime Museum, there is a " Chinese funerary boat with figures". Through it, we can also glimpse the ancient people's views👀 on death.

The "Chinese funerary boat with figures" is a grave goods unearthed from a tomb in Sichuan. In ancient times, grave goods often contained the wishes🙏 of the living for the dead, just like this boat. Within the main cabin a group of figures can be seen, including an instrumentalist playing the guqin, a dancer, and possibly the deceased. They play celestial music♫ on their journey across the river🌊, completing the last dance of life. This boat is regarded as a means of transportation to the afterlife. Just as in people's minds, death is not the end but the beginning of another journey. The boat⛵ carries the soul of the dead towards the afterlife.

【⭐天星小輪The Star Ferry】

在1972年香港海底隧道通車及1980年第一條跨海鐵路隧道啟用🚗之前，市民渡海的唯一方法是乘搭公共渡輪⛴️、私營的「嘩啦嘩啦」電船、街渡或舢舨。其中，著名的天星小輪⭐自1898年5月1日起在維多利亞港兩岸提供服務，連接香港島及九龍，成爲香港歷史最悠久的渡海小輪公司。

天星小輪在香港社會史中佔據了重要地位。儘管有多種渡海🌊交通方式，但天星小輪的服務對於許多希望欣賞維多利亞港以及城市美景🌃的本地市民和遊客來說，無疑是最具性價比的選擇。乘坐天星小輪，不僅能享受便捷的交通，更能在船上欣賞到壯麗的海景和天際線，體驗獨特的香港風情。

Before the opening of the Cross Harbour Tunnel and the first cross-harbour railway tunnel 🚗 (established in 1972 and 1980, respectively), the only ways to cross the harbour were by riding public ferry⛴️, private walla-walla, kaito, or sampan. Among these options, the iconic Star Ferry⭐ has been providing cross-harbour transportation since May 1, 1898,carrying passengers to and from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is the oldest ferry company in Hong Kong.

The Star Ferry Company is an iconic part of Hong Kong's social history. Although there are other ways to cross the harbour🌊, its ferries remain an affordable way for local people and tourists to enjoy the Victoria Harbour and city views🌃. Riding the Star Ferry not only offers convenient transportation but also allows passengers to enjoy stunning sea views and the skyline, providing a unique experience of Hong Kong's charm.

【海上航行的明燈The Significance of Lighthouses】

在導航技術🌐尚未成熟的時代，海上航行充滿不確定性。在夜間🌙，視野受限的情況下，船隻觸礁的風險大幅增加。因此，為了確保航行安全，燈塔的建設顯得尤為重要。

燈塔在早期航運貿易中扮演了關鍵角色，它如同海上的明燈💡，為航行者指引方向，維護海上交通的安全。燈塔的主要功能是指示船隻🚢安全進出港口，幫助避免觸礁事故。這些燈塔通常建於面向海洋的岬角、礁石或礁排上，專門用來向駛近的船舶發出警示🚨。

香港作為濱海地域，進出水域的船隻眾多，因此在險要地帶建設燈塔至關重要。橫瀾燈塔是香港現存的戰前⚔️燈塔之一，其建設始於1893年，由港英政府提出，中國海關負責興建，並於1896年正式投入運作，至今仍為南海航行的船隻提供重要指引。橫瀾燈塔配備了先進的信號燈，戰後經過修復，並更換為瑞典製造的菲涅爾透鏡，能見範圍達26海里，自1950年開始使用，並於1989年實現自動化操作。

香港海事博物館B層展區有燈塔相關展品，歡迎前來參觀。

In the era when navigation technology🌐 was not yet well-developed, sea voyages were full of uncertainties. At night🌙, when the waterways cannot be clearly seen, ships are at risk of hitting reefs. To ensure the safety of navigation, it is essential to build lighthouses.

Lighthouses played a crucial role in shipping and maritime trade in the early days. They were the beacon💡 of maritime navigation and helped maintain the safety of seaborne traffic. The main function of lighthouses was to instruct ships🚢 how to enter and leave a port to avoid accidents on reefs. Therefore, they were mostly built on promontories facing the sea or on reefs and reef shoals to warn 🚨 approaching ships.

Hong Kong is a coastal region with foreign ships frequently sailing there, making the establishment of lighthouses in dangerous areas of paramount importance. The Waglan Lighthouse is one of the few surviving pre-war⚔️ lighthouses in Hong Kong. It was proposed by the Hong Kong British government in 1893 and constructed by the Chinese Customs Department. Officially put into service in 1896, it has been guiding ships in the South China Sea ever since. This catadioptric Fresnel lens, manufactured in Sweden in 1947, had a visibility range of up to 26 nautical miles. It was put into service in 1950 and remained operational until 1989, when the lighthouse became automated.

【海上航行的明燈The Significance of Lighthouses】

在導航技術🌐尚未成熟的時代，海上航行充滿不確定性。在夜間🌙，視野受限的情況下，船隻觸礁的風險大幅增加。因此，為了確保航行安全，燈塔的建設顯得尤為重要。

燈塔在早期航運貿易中扮演了關鍵角色，它如同海上的明燈💡，為航行者指引方向，維護海上交通的安全。燈塔的主要功能是指示船隻🚢安全進出港口，幫助避免觸礁事故。這些燈塔通常建於面向海洋的岬角、礁石或礁排上，專門用來向駛近的船舶發出警示🚨。

香港作為濱海地域，進出水域的船隻眾多，因此在險要地帶建設燈塔至關重要。橫瀾燈塔是香港現存的戰前⚔️燈塔之一，其建設始於1893年，由港英政府提出，中國海關負責興建，並於1896年正式投入運作，至今仍為南海航行的船隻提供重要指引。橫瀾燈塔配備了先進的信號燈，戰後經過修復，並更換為瑞典製造的菲涅爾透鏡，能見範圍達26海里，自1950年開始使用，並於1989年實現自動化操作。

香港海事博物館B層展區有燈塔相關展品，歡迎前來參觀。

In the era when navigation technology🌐 was not yet well-developed, sea voyages were full of uncertainties. At night🌙, when the waterways cannot be clearly seen, ships are at risk of hitting reefs. To ensure the safety of navigation, it is essential to build lighthouses.

Lighthouses played a crucial role in shipping and maritime trade in the early days. They were the beacon💡 of maritime navigation and helped maintain the safety of seaborne traffic. The main function of lighthouses was to instruct ships🚢 how to enter and leave a port to avoid accidents on reefs. Therefore, they were mostly built on promontories facing the sea or on reefs and reef shoals to warn 🚨 approaching ships.

Hong Kong is a coastal region with foreign ships frequently sailing there, making the establishment of lighthouses in dangerous areas of paramount importance. The Waglan Lighthouse is one of the few surviving pre-war⚔️ lighthouses in Hong Kong. It was proposed by the Hong Kong British government in 1893 and constructed by the Chinese Customs Department. Officially put into service in 1896, it has been guiding ships in the South China Sea ever since. This catadioptric Fresnel lens, manufactured in Sweden in 1947, had a visibility range of up to 26 nautical miles. It was put into service in 1950 and remained operational until 1989, when the lighthouse became automated.

【🏴‍☠ 海盜如何進行襲擊？How Do Pirates Attack?】

在每一片有船隻出沒的海域，海盜的身影無處不在。這些不法之徒多年來強行登船、攻擊船員⚔️、洗劫貨物，甚至殺害或綁架乘客和船員而聞名。他們究竟是如何做到的呢？

首先，伏擊是海盜慣用的戰術，核心在於突襲。他們通常會搭乘快速的小艇⛵進行追擊，一旦靠近目標，便迅速展開攻擊。這種突襲行動可在河流🏞️或海灣進行，海盜們駕駛著被稱作「攀天龍」或「混江龍」的小船，以足夠的速度追上大型商船，然後試圖干擾船舵，迫使商船停下。成功劫持的關鍵在於出其不意，海盜們常常選擇在黑夜🌙的掩護下展開行動，讓船員毫無防備。

此外，一些海盜會先利用「虛假旗號」🚩偽裝成友好的船隻，藉此接近目標，再在適當時機發動突襲。這種「欺騙性戰術」或「戰爭詭計」是17世紀海盗的常用手段。他們會藏身在甲板下，靜待時機一躍而出，襲擊敵人。

想了解更多令人驚心動魄的海盜故事嗎？歡迎參觀香港海事博物館，我們將帶您探索這段神秘的海上歷史！

For as long as there have been ships, pirates have roamed the seas. These criminals would board a ship, attack the crew, and take control. They steal cargo and sometimes kill⚔️ or kidnap passengers and crew. How did they do it?

First, a classic tactic used by pirates was to ambush ships using a fast-moving boat⛵ before climbing aboard. Such attacks relied on surprise, and the ambush could be mounted from a river 🏞️ or bay. Many oarsmen operated so-called “scrambling dragons”, which were quick enough to chase down larger ships. They would then stop passing ships by jamming the rudder in some way. Catching the crew by surprise was crucial , so this tactic was often carried out under cover of darkness🌙.

Many pirates deceived their targets by flying “false colors” 🚩 to disguise themselves as friendly vessels, allowing them to get close enough to launch a surprise attack. This tactic is known as a "ruse de guerre", or "a trick of war”. The "ruse de guerre” was common among pirates in the 17th century. They would hide below deck and then rush out to attack.

Apart from fishers, shipping🚢 and port operators, aquatic animals🐟 are also important key stakeholders of the ocean. We should be aware, care and behave better towards these aquatic animals.

Aquatic Animal Virtopsy Lab (AAVL) from City University of Hong Kong has applied a cutting-edge ''virtopsy'' technique💻 on local Cetacean Stranding Investigation📝 since 2014, that was later extended to the research on sea turtles🐢 from 2019 onwards. Audiences will learn about this stage-of-the-art technique and its application on building a unique centralised database📊 and long-term strategies for conservation of aquatic animals. Such a complete ecosystem indicator may eventually support the conservation and policy decision for all oceans, leading to a "One Ocean-One Health"🌊 paradigm. The talk will be conducted in Cantonese, supplemented by English.

【中國皇后號：中美貿易的起點Empress of China: The beginning of US-China Trade】

18世紀後期，美國剛剛獨立，迫切需要尋找新的貿易機會。當時，中國在西方人的眼中是一個充滿神秘和財富💰的國家，有著豐富的絲綢、茶葉🍃和瓷器等商品。美國商人看到了與中國開展貿易的巨大潛力，於是「中國皇后號」應運而生。這艘船在1784年2月22日從紐約港起航🚢，它承載著美國開拓海外市場、尋求財富的夢想💵。

「中國皇后號」經過半年左右的漫長航行🗺️，跨越太平洋，於1784年8月28日抵達中國廣州。這是美國商船首次到達中國，標誌著美國與中國直接貿易往來的開端。船上的美國人受到了當地商人的歡迎🤝。他們帶來了人參、毛皮等貨物，用以交換中國的茶葉、絲綢和瓷器等特產。這次貿易之旅非常成功📈，所購得的中國商品在美國大受歡迎，獲得了豐厚的利潤。這一成功激勵了更多的美國商人投身到對華貿易當中，逐漸形成了一股熱潮。

🙌歡迎前來香港海事博物館，了解更多船舶的故事。

In the late 18th century, shortly after the United States gained its independence, there was an urgent need to seek new trading opportunities. At that time, China was regarded by Westerners as a mysterious and wealthy💰 country, rich in silk, tea🍃, porcelain and other commodities. American merchants saw the great potential of conducting trade with China, and thus the "Empress of China" came into being. On February 22, 1784, the ship set sail🚢 from New York Harbor, carrying the American dream of exploring overseas markets and seeking wealth💵.

The "Empress of China" took around half a year to cross the Pacific Ocean 🗺️ and finally arrived in Guangzhou, China on August 28, 1784. This was the first time an American merchant ship had reached China, and it marked the beginning of direct trade between the United States and China. The Americans on board were welcomed🤝 by local merchants. They brought goods such as ginseng and furs to exchange for Chinese specialties like tea, silk and porcelain. This trading journey was very successful📈. The Chinese goods were highly popular in the United States and yielded substantial profits. This success inspired more American merchants to engage in the trade with China, gradually forming a boom.

【象徵身份的高級定制：紋章瓷A Symbol of Identity: Armorial Porcelain】

貴族們為了彰顯其獨特身份，常常熱衷於使用一些「高級定制」物品📦，其中紋章瓷便是最具代表性的選擇之一。

什麼是紋章？紋章是指歐洲各國王室👑、貴族、世家、軍團、城市🏙️、公司及團體等所使用的特定徽章或圖案，通常以盾徽的形式表現。而那些帶有此類標誌的外銷瓷器，則被命名為紋章瓷。

從十六世紀起，將家族紋章裝飾於瓷器上在西方已成為一種流行的社會趨勢。紋章瓷作為外銷瓷🚢的一種，是由中國陶工根據外國商人提供的圖案精心製作而成，巧妙地融合了中國傳統工藝和西方裝飾風格。

紋章瓷不僅在當時的貴族社會中廣受歡迎，更成為了收藏界的珍品，代表著持有者的社會地位與品味。每一件紋章瓷器都是一段歷史的縮影，承載著無數故事，不僅是藝術品，更是身份的象徵。

2.釉上彩繪印度馬德拉斯聖喬治堡紋章盤
3.廣彩描金“Royal Prussian Bengal Company of Emden"徽紋梨形有蓋咖啡壺
4.釉上彩繪Caulfield& Talbot 紋章碗

To show their unique identity, nobles often seek out limited and customized items📦 with Armorial Porcelain being a quintessential example..

Armorial porcelain consists of ceramics decorated with a coat of arms, representing royalty👑, a family, or an institution or city 🏙️.

Since the sixteenth century, commissioning porcelain adorned with family coat of arms has become a popular social trend in the West. As a genre of export porcelain 🚢, armorial porcelain was produced by Chinese potters based on patterns provided by foreign traders, seamlessly blending traditional Chinese craftsmanship with Western decorative styles.

Armorial porcelain was not only highly popular among the nobility of its time but also became a treasured item in the world of collectors, representing the social status and taste of its owner. Each piece of armorial porcelain is a microcosm of history, carrying countless stories; it is not just a work of art but also a symbol of identity.

【玻璃上的丹青妙筆🖌️Paintings on glass】

在沒有相機📸的歲月裏，人們渴望記錄生活中的美好瞬間，繪畫便成為了一種重要的記錄方式。而在眾多藝術形式中，有一種獨特的畫作，它以玻璃為畫布，展現出別具一格的視覺效果。

玻璃畫，通常指用彩畫顏料🎨在無色或淺色透明的平板玻璃背面繪畫，再從正面透過玻璃進行觀賞，因此也稱為「反向玻璃畫」或「玻璃背畫」。這種繪畫方式為觀者帶來了不同於傳統繪畫的視覺體驗。

玻璃畫技藝的傳播與西方商船和傳教士⛪息息相關。約在1715年左右，耶穌會教士以朗世寧神父將這一技藝傳入中國。這一外來藝術形式迅速扎根於中國🌱，並與本土文化元素相結合，形成了獨特的藝術風格。最早期的中國玻璃畫主要圍繞中式主題展開，其歷史可以追溯到至1769年。

在廣州，藝術家們在西方玻璃油畫技法的基礎上進行了創新💡，簡化了西方玻璃油畫厚重的層層疊加技法，結合了中國傳統繪畫的方式。這種中西特色的融合🤝使得玻璃畫在當時備受青睞，甚至遠銷海外🚢，成為了中國文化與西方文化交流的重要見證。

透過玻璃畫，我們不僅能欣賞藝術之美，還能感受到歷史的交融與文化的碰撞。這些作品宛如透過玻璃的窗戶，讓我們一窺過去的美好瞬間。

📸
1. 女士與鳳頭鸚鵡，油彩玻璃畫
2. 繪「哥倫比亞號」玻璃畫

In the past, when people desired to record the little moments in their lives, they would do so through painting 🖌️. There is a special kind of oil painting that uses glass as the canvas, presenting unique visual effect.

Reverse painting on glass is an art form that involves applying paint to a piece of glass🎨 and then viewing the image by turning the glass over and looking through it.

The technique of painting on glass was introduced to China by Jesuit priests⛪, particularly Father Castiglione, around 1715. The earliest Chinese reverse glass paintings generally featured Chinese subject matter, with examples of this type dated to at least the 1760s.

The reverse glass paintings created in Guangzhou were innovative💡. They simplified the thick, layered techniques of Western glass oil paintings and combined them with traditional Chinese painting methods. This fusion🤝 of Chinese and Western characteristics was very popular at the time and was also exported overseas🚢, becoming a notable example of the exchange and integration of Chinese and Western cultures.

Through glass paintings, we can not only appreciate the beauty of art but also feel the fusion of history and the collision of cultures. These works are like windows of glass, allowing us to glimpse the beautiful moments of the past.

【🍁天乾物燥，小心火燭Beware of fires as the weather gets drier】

隨著秋季的到來🍂，天氣變得愈發乾燥，火災🔥的風險顯著增加。在古代，因為建築多為磚木🧱 結構，防火性能相對較差，一旦起火，火勢蔓延的速度驚人，如果沒有及時撲救，往往會導致災難性的後果。因此，夜間巡邏的打更人👮常在街頭提醒大家：「天乾物燥，小心火燭」。

那麼，數百年前的人們在面臨火災時又是如何進行滅火🧯的呢？讓我們把目光投向廣州的沙面島。

沙面島（前稱小沙洲）距廣州城僅一彎水域之隔。在第二次鴉片戰爭⚔️後，英法兩國在此建立了租界🏛️，並設立了多個外國政府機構及企業。

當時，廣州城火災頻發，沙面島也未能幸免，曾遭受多次火災襲擊。在1906年之前，廣州並沒有官方的消防組織，民間只能自組義務救火隊🚒，集資購置滅火裝備，如水龍💦、唧筒、油燈、銅鑼和吊桶等。畫中可見十三行人力水車，正是那個時代的滅火工具之一。

香港海事博物館C層展區展出了與義務救火隊相關的展品，歡迎參觀。

As the weather becomes dry, the risk of fire🔥 increases in autumn🍂. In ancient times, buildings were mainly made of brick🧱 and wood, which made them susceptible to fire. If a fire could not be put out in time, it could lead to a major disaster. That's why night watchmen👮 often warned people to ‘watch out for fire’ during their night patrols.

So, how did people put out fires🧯 hundreds of years ago? Let's find the answer in Shamian Island, Guangzhou.

Shamian Island (formerly known as Little Sandbank) is an island near Canton, separated from Canton City by a narrow channel. After the Second Opium War⚔️ devastated the Thirteen Factories area, Britain and France established settlements🏛️ to protect their interests.

In retrospect, fires broke out frequently in Canton city, and Shamian Island was not spared. Before 1906, no official fire services department🚒 had been established by the government. As a result, the public had to organize themselves and form several volunteer firefighter crews. They also implemented crowdfunding to purchase firefighting equipment, including water dragon, pump💦, oil lamp, gongs, and water bucket. The paintings also depict a Thirteen Hongs sprinkler.

Welcome to Hong Kong Maritime Museum to learn more about the volunteer firefighter crew!

【從十九世紀的時尚中找穿搭靈感Get inspired from 19th century fashion】

🍂隨著秋天的逐漸來臨，寒意🧣也在悄然蔓延，大家準備好換季衣物了嗎？換季之際，很多人在衣物搭配上可能會感到困惑，不知如何才能在保暖的同時保持時尚感🥼。如果你在搭配上遇到難題，不妨在十九世紀的秋季時尚中汲取些靈感💡。

這是一件十九世紀中期的絲制刺繡蒸汽船紋馬甲🛳️，正反兩面均繡有槳輪和蒸汽帆船等航海圖案。自1830年第一艘明輪蒸汽船駛抵中國後，此類圖案便成為傳統中國長袍及鼻煙壺上的常見元素。這馬甲顯然為西方顧客製作的，顧客很可能是船長⚓或船東。當時，西方航海者在東方定制具有紀念意義的服飾🛍️也是一種流行趨勢。

馬甲的設計不僅能夠有效保暖，還便於雙手活動，非常適合如今氣候變化無常的時期。無論是搭配襯衫還是長袖T恤，這件馬甲都能為你的秋季造型增添一抹歷史的韻味與時尚感。

🍂Autumn is approaching, and the chill🧣 is starting to creep in. Are you ready for the change of season? When it comes to seasonal transitions, many people find themselves confused about how to dress warm and stylishly🥼 at the same time. If you're unsure, why not take some inspiration from 19th-century autumn fashion? 💡

This is a mid-nineteenth century, intricately embroidered silk gentleman's waistcoat features a maritime motif incorporating paddle-wheel steam-sail vessels 🛳️ on both the front and reverse panels. Such motifs have been common on traditional Chinese robes and snuff bottles since the first paddle steamer arrived in China in 1830. This waistcoat was likely made for a Western customer, probably a ship's captain⚓ or shipowner. At the time, it was also fashionable for Western seafarers to customize their clothing 🛍️ in the East for commemorative purposes.

The design of the waistcoat keeps the chest and back areas warm while allowing for easy movement of the hands, making it ideal for today's weather. Whether paired with a shirt or a long-sleeve T-shirt, this waistcoat adds a touch of historical charm and style to your autumn look.
