Fashion, a way of life, influences people and at the same time constrains people. Its charm is everywhere, its influence is nowhere less. However, what exactly is fashion and how should we look at it has become an unavoidable and crucial issue in today's era. In this article, I will not only dissect the definition of fashion, but also explore the characteristics of fashion based on it, and moreover, I will explain, as for me, my personal views on how to look at the issue of fashion.

Fashion is an all-encompassing concept that touches every aspect of life. No explanation is needed, clothing can be called fashion, eating can be called fashionable diet, men are called Mr. Fashion, women are also known as Miss Fashion, all of which seem to be inextricably linked with the fashion, so it is not too much to say that the fashion throughout all aspects of human life. Clothing, ancient clothing is generally wide and fat, completely obscuring the human body curve, ignoring the beauty of the human body, but now, a variety of fashion so that the human body curve to get the perfect modification and show, this step-by-step evolution is precisely the evolution brought about by fashion. Diet, with the globalization of the economy, coffee, KFC (McDonald's), these western foods, gradually become a fashion, exist in our lives, for some people to worship. In terms of sports, from the earliest days of Cuju to today's surfing, golf, etc., fashionable sports have entered people's lives and have become some people's favorite sports. The list goes on and on, and they have taken on new forms that show a different way of life than before, which happens to be a product of fashion.

By "certain" time period, we mean a short period of time, which means that fashion is not a product of a long period of time. A fashion is created only for a short period of time, and during that time it is not accepted by a wide range of people. Once the fashion stays longer than that, then the fashion evolves into a fad. So, how should we grasp and define this time period? In fact, so far, there is still no clear-cut conclusion. However, in my opinion, the period of time in which fashion stays can be described as follows: the period of time that a non-customary way of life goes through from its emergence to its popularization (household name).

By the transient nature of fashion, we can understand that in such a limited period of time, the phenomenon is unlikely to be accepted and admired by the majority of the population. And the reason for this is not limited to this. Throughout history, most people are willing to live a smooth life, they do not want to have any foreign things to break this calm. In their eyes, it is better to invest their energies in improving their present lives rather than venturing into the search for that which they know nothing about. However, there will always be some people who dare to break through this closed line of defense to eat "crabs", therefore, the fashion will be produced in this minority. It is because of this minority's breakthrough and risk-taking mentality that fashion is created, and it is also because of the creation of fashion that popularity comes into people's view. Although there is a lot of intertwining between fashion and fad, fashion is not the same as fad. Popularity refers to the emerging things through a certain way to attract the attention of certain classes, groups, the masses, and then the vast majority of people began to pay attention to, use and understand it, and finally become a popular phenomenon. In other words, popularity is the phenomenon of popularization, and fashion is only a minority of people revered lifestyle, so, popular is not the same as fashion.

"Fashion "lifestyle is in line with human aesthetic psychology. Aesthetic psychology refers to the free mood of people in the aesthetic practice, facing the aesthetic object, perceiving the object with an aesthetic attitude and thus obtaining emotional pleasure and spiritual pleasure in the aesthetic experience. Let's take the evolution of cheongsam as an example. In the Qing Dynasty, the cheongsam's robe was y bound by the strong feudalism, therefore, the tailoring system has been using straight lines, chest, shoulders, waist and hips are completely straight, and the curves of the female body are not exposed. During the period of the Republic of China, the cheongsam was opened and closed to show the perfect body shape and curves of women. Nowadays, we can profoundly find that modern women's cheongsam outfits have completely evolved into ultra-short dresses. These cheongsam dresses are less than knee-length, with both sides open to reveal the hips, the waist is tightly bound, and the chest is dug out with a piece of vacant, sometimes visible cleavage slightly exposed. From not showing the curves of a woman at all, to showing them off, we can't help but marvel at the huge changes that fashion has brought to our lives. When a few people recognize and admire the open cheongsam, it already shows that this open cheongsam meets their aesthetic psychology. We know that human aesthetic psychology is not only the pursuit of spiritual comfort, on the other hand, human aesthetic psychology is also the pursuit of physical sensibility. We can boldly say that when the open cheongsam was created, it was attracting people's eyes, especially men's eyes, in a form of exposure. The open cheongsam not only shows the sensual side of women, but at the same time this sensuality teases men on another level. As a result, fellow males will believe that this open cheongsam, which is not fully exposed, appeals to their sexuality and gives them emotional pleasure and thrill.

Why are people keen to take risks? The answer is becoming clearer as the understanding deepens - humans are driven to take risks by profit. The more willing they are to take risks, the more likely they are to become powerful. University of California biologist Jay Fran put forward a theory and recognized. He believes that this human habit of risk-seeking originated in prehistoric times. At that time, there were two main types of primitive people living on the earth, one type of nesting and settling down, and the other type dares to open up new horizons. The settlers mostly stayed in their nests, living off the plants and small animals around them, and were always careful. Pathfinders roam, recognizing that bold behavior increases the likelihood of death, but at the same time allows them to find tastier fruit and more prey. In addition, they gained a wealth of survival experience and were better able to withstand the rigors of nature. And these instinctive do-it-yourselfers tended to live longer and were able to raise a large number of children, thus successfully passing on their genes to the next generation until their kind was eventually able to dominate the human race. Thus, a passion for risk-taking is a biological legacy of mankind, an extreme expression of human nature. Of course, it is precisely because of this adventurous nature of human beings that groundbreaking "fashions" were born. A "fashionable" lifestyle is not only a challenge to the traditional way of life, but also a stimulus to the adventurous human psychology of accepting new things. First recognized by a few people, "fashion" lifestyle over time, continue to attract more people's attention, and then for the community at large to advocate, but ultimately, evolved into a popular. Therefore, we say that the "fashionable" lifestyle is in line with the adventurous mentality of society at large.

Fashion is the product of a short period of time lets us understand that fashion is ephemeral. that fashion is ephemeral. However, I would like to emphasize that the ephemeral nature mentioned here refers to the transient nature of a fashion, not to the entire development course of fashion. We know that fashions are complex and diverse, so it is only for a fashion that it is transient, that it is ephemeral. When the residence time of a fashion is extended to a certain stage, the fashion will unconsciously evolve into a fad. We have already explained that fashion is different from fad because the duration of fad is much longer than that of fashions, and therefore, fashions are ephemeral.

During the medieval period, fashion was closely linked to the aristocracy. Since the nobility was wealthy and could afford to spend a lot of money, they could hire famous designers to create distinctive fashions for them, and this, at that time, became the fashion of the nobility. Nowadays, fashion is still class-based, and this class-based is different from the class-based in the Middle Ages, which mainly refers to the fact that fashion is not the same among different social groups and communities. It is because of this stratified nature of fashion that we must look at fashion more cautiously. If you want to lead a fashionable lifestyle, you must first understand the class you are in, both in terms of the nature and characteristics of your own class, and in terms of the economic, political, cultural and many other aspects of your own class. More importantly, one must also understand the lifestyles that people in the class have and aspire to. Because, only a complete understanding of these, in order to make the fashion will be recognized and revered for them, not to become unorthodox.

Fashion is ever-changing, fashion is all-encompassing, and the inclusiveness of fashion reflects its beauty. First, fashion in retro. The clearest example of this is Jay Chou's musical retroism. He incorporates Chinese classical instruments in his soundtrack and the charm of Chinese poetry in his lyrics. For example, in the soundtracks of many of his songs, we can hear the sounds of classical instruments such as the pipa, the erhu, and the drum, and in the lyrics, we can also see a lot of poems with a Chinese context, such as

"Porcelain" in "Porcelain" "The embryo sketched out the blue and green strokes of the stroke thick to light, the bottle depicted peony as your first makeup, Ran sandalwood incense through the window of the heart of the things that I know, rice paper on the pen to put it aside. I know what's on my mind through the window, and I've put aside half of my brushstrokes on the rice paper". Jay Chou skillfully blends modern pop music with Chinese classical instruments and poems, and pioneers Chinese music retroism, bringing this music fashion to the public and making it popular. Secondly, fashion crosses borders. The French fashion show is very capable of reflecting the inclusiveness of fashion at this level. Throughout the fashion show, we can clearly find that there are cultural elements of various countries hidden in the fashion, some of which are flamboyant, some of which are introverted, some of which are licentious, and some of which are sexy. It's hard to imagine another fashion that embodies this inclusiveness as well as fashion does.

Based on the definition and character of fashion, we believe that that a rational view of fashion is essential. Therefore we must put a rope, a rope of measure, on fashion.

Today's society emphasizes the importance of the human being, and we must encourage the development of anything that suits the interests of human beings. Of course fashion is no exception. However, we should not fall into humanism because of our emphasis on humanism. We can't advocate "fashion for fashion's sake" as much as "freedom for freedom's sake", because every phenomenon has its own laws that must be respected. Fashion, as an unavoidable phenomenon in human history, has a profound impact on people's lives, so we should be more conditional on its regulation.

When a fashion harms or violates the human dignity and basic rights of anyone as a human being, it does not have legitimacy, and should even be banned or outlawed; on the other hand, if a fashion does not harm or violate the human dignity and basic rights of anyone as a human being, it has its own legitimacy, and should not be banned or outlawed out of any other reason; at the same time, if a fashion not only respects the human dignity and basic rights of anyone as a human being, it has its own legitimacy and should not be banned or outlawed out of any other reason. At the same time, if a fashion not only respects the human dignity and fundamental rights of human beings, but also cares for the human life and legitimate well-being of other human beings, it is not only justified, but also noble and worthy of praise and promotion. Therefore, no matter in what form fashion has arisen and developed, it should abide by the principle of human-centeredness and critique of humanism, and while fully affirming the legitimate significance of fashion, it should consciously restrict and limit the tendency of uncontrolled and unnecessary extravagance and corruption in the field of fashion.

Since fashion has a hierarchical nature, it is only natural that people from different social classes have different understandings and requirements of fashion. As a result, the fashion produced by the upper class is considered elegant, while the fashion produced by the utilitarian lower class becomes the relative "vulgar" fashion. However, just because the fashion of the lower class is labeled as "vulgar", we must not completely reject its legitimate significance of existence. Because, as long as that kind of "vulgar" culture does not hurt, or to a certain extent respects the human dignity and basic rights of human beings, then its existence is justified and recognized. Therefore, for the different levels of fashion, we can not be its one-size-fits-all, we should maintain a common and elegant can be inclusive, *** storage **** glory of the mentality to look at the fashion, so that its healthy development.

Fashion is not like what we think is beautiful, because it also has its own ugly side. This kind of ugly or because of the people themselves to a certain fashion is not suitable for the cause, or perhaps because of different people's aesthetic psychology of the differences caused by, but I still insist that as long as the kind of fashion does not hurt, or to a certain extent respect for the human dignity and basic rights of human beings, then its existence is justified, it is recognized, and even should be revered. Therefore, who says that we can only show off the beauty of fashion but not the ugliness of fashion? As long as not contrary to the requirements of human beings as human beings, we can also "follow the feeling of walking" into the colorful human life.
