"The Sitting Statue of Wenchang from Dehua Kiln: Legend of the Past Life" is based on the sitting statue of Wenchang from Dehua Kiln, a national treasure housed in the Fujian Museum and crafted by He Chaozong during the Ming dynasty. Through the introduction of the Ming-dynasty historical figure Li Shunzhi, the program constructs a narrative text that interrelates the artifact with historical personage. A central challenge in the program's production is determining how to accurately reconstruct Li Shunzhi's costume style based on historical context and character settings. Li Shunzhi's costume is shaped by a combination of factors, including the Ming Dynasty's costume regulations, his identity as a scholar-official, his social status, and the character design within the program. This study draws on Ming Dynasty institutional codes and classical literature, alongside physical artifacts excavated from Ming tombs and historical portraits, to systematically investigate the form, fabric, and color of Li Shunzhi's attire. The findings reveal that his costume primarily consists of a Taoist robe, crafted from cotton fabric and paired with square-toed shoes, embodying the typical sartorial characteristics of ordinary Ming Dynasty scholars. This research not only achieves a precise reconstruction of the costume style of Ming Dynasty scholars, as exemplified by Li Shunzhi, thereby promoting the essence of traditional Chinese clothing culture, but also provides robust academic grounding and practical guidance for the costume design of historical figures in future episodes.
