Traditional history of school uniforms

School uniform refers to the clothes that all students must wear in a certain period of time according to the relevant regulations and requirements of the school. In my own memory, the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, occasions visited by important school leaders, or major events such as sports meetings and school celebrations, all the students put on uniform on these special occasions, which looked uniform, solemn and imposing. But now many schools require students to wear school uniforms every day for the convenience of management. Sometimes in an administrative district, school uniforms are the same style and different colors. This is to avoid the reasons why children of the same age compare with each other and reduce the phenomenon of comparison. So, when did school uniforms begin to appear and gradually become popular?

Throughout the history of school uniforms, it can be said that it has a long history. The longest history can be traced back to modern schools, from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, the school began to equip students with clothes, shoes and hats. At around 1920, school uniforms have a real meaning, that is, boys wear tunic suits and girls wear cheongsam. This is the costume of the Republic of China that we yearn for now. In the next twenty years, school uniforms have become a fashion, and improved cheongsam has become the new favorite of school uniforms. Only this stage lasted until the forties, and then the school uniform had a blank stage for more than ten years. It's not that school uniforms don't exist, but there are no specific requirements and they are more casual.

With the historical trend, the popularity of school uniforms has also changed. In the sixties and seventies, our old military uniforms became the main tone of school uniforms. Historically, school uniforms are also the product of the characteristics of the times. In a specific era, the colors and styles of school uniforms have changed. In the 1980s, colorful school uniforms rushed into the school gate. But at that time, school uniforms were also based on the regulations of various schools, and there was no uniform standard.

The sportswear and school uniforms with different styles and colors that we see now were popular in the 1990s and continue to this day. There are two main reasons. First, sportswear is convenient and comfortable, which conforms to our sportsmanship. The second reason is dress. Its success lies in enhancing students' cooperative spirit and helping to establish the image of the school. 1993, the state issued an official document and began to require students to dress. So the history of school uniforms is very long, but it is officially recorded in the document, starting from 1993. The history of school uniform improvement, with the growth of each generation of teenagers in China, shines in the long river of memory.
