衣袖

衣袖 (yī xiù) refers to the sleeve of a piece of clothing, typically used in traditional Chinese garments such as the hanfu or qipao. It is a specific term that highlights the part of the garment that covers the arm.

The character 衣 (yī) means 'clothing' or 'garment,' while 袖 (xiù) means 'sleeve.' Together, they form a compound noun that directly translates to 'sleeve of clothing.' This term is often used in discussions about traditional attire and fashion.

In modern contexts, 衣袖 may be used less frequently than the more general term 袖子 (xiùzi), but it still holds cultural significance, especially in historical or formal settings. Understanding 衣袖 can help learners appreciate the details of traditional Chinese clothing and its design elements.
