1. "Clothing" to carry the way - the cultural connotation of Hanbok and its influence on the Japanese traditional clothing

As a part of Chinese culture, Hanbok culture, as a part of Chinese traditional culture, has been inherited for thousands of years and has become one of the creators of the splendor of Chinese culture. Hanbok represents the spirit of the ancient people and good wishes, but also reflects the epitome of the cultural development of the Chinese nation, through understanding it, we can more clearly recognize the far-reaching influence of traditional Chinese culture on the nation and other countries. By exploring the development history of Hanbok, we can not only explore the unique spiritual connotation of Hanbok and promote Hanbok culture, but also find our national pride and self-confidence. At the same time, we can innovate in the inheritance, and re-embody our own national greatness and broad-mindedness. And for the modern clothing design into the national soul, improve the cultural connotation of modern clothing, to create the spirit of the Chinese people's own clothing. Japan from ancient times has always had an extraordinary relationship with our country, dating back to the era of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, Xu Fu east to Japan for Ying Zheng to find the immortality drug, as well as the prosperity and openness of the Tang Dynasty, so that the countries to come to the pilgrimage to see, such as Japan's love of Chinese dress, the influence of the national dress, Japanese kimono absorbed and drew on the traditional Chinese Hanbok style and techniques, and the integration of the characteristics of their own people, becoming the traditional clothing of Japan. The origin and development of Hanbok 1. The Hanbok from the period of the Yellow Emperor to the Zhou Dynasty can be traced back to the period of the Yellow Emperor, and its early prototype is the Huaxia garment, which is recorded in the Records of the Grand Historian (Huangdi Benci). Huang Di Ben Ji" recorded: "Before the Yellow Emperor, there was no clothes and buildings. And the Yellow Emperor to build buildings, system clothes, camp funeral, the people are exempt from the survival of the difficult." Chinese clothing began in the period of the Yellow Emperor, and then gradually developed through the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties, with the Zhou Dynasty as a turning point, because of the formation of a basically perfect coronation system at that time. After thousands of years of inheritance and development, the Han Chinese dress has had a profound impact on later generations of Chinese people, even at home and abroad, with the Japanese kimono being the most prominent.2. Qin and Han DynastiesAfter Qin Emperor Ying Zheng unified the world, he abolished some of the red tape in the dress of the Zhou Dynasty, and only retained some of the dresses used in the rituals. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the clothes of the common people were simple in color and style, and the color was often white. The reason why it was white was because people at that time thought that white was without any color, and white clothes also meant without any social status. This not only reflects the strict hierarchical order in ancient times, but also reflects the rigidity of the feudal dynasty system.3. Wei, Jin, North and South Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty Wei, Jin and North and South Dynasties period, the style of Chinese dress can be said to be "diverse, regional integration". Wei and Jin costumes still retain the basic form of the Han Dynasty, but in terms of style features, but has its unique local characteristics. The costumes of the North and South Dynasties showed a general trend of mutual reference and gradual integration among various nationalities. The period stipulated that red was used for court dress in the palace, purple was used for regular dress, and white was still the color of the common people's dress. The dress of the Southern Dynasty was affected by the war, and there was not much change compared to the basis of the Northern Dynasty.4. Song, Yuan, and Ming Dynasties The Song Dynasty inherited the system of distinguishing status by color, and the round-collar robes were still dominant. Also because of the influence of the Cheng-Zhu theory, coupled with social unrest, a variety of factors led to the presentation of the characteristics of simplicity and subtlety. Yuan dynasty 襦裙 is basically the same as in the Song dynasty, while under the influence of the Mongols, the color is more gray. The long coat of the Yuan Dynasty was called a robe, but the rarity of the material used also reflected the difference in status. The Ming Dynasty changed the customs of the Yuan Dynasty and made more designs in style and details.5 Qing DynastyThe Qing Dynasty was a low point in the development of Hanfu culture. The rulers resisted the cultural identity of the people because of the national culture and boycotted the Hanfu as a way of securing their dominance, which led to the fact that there was no development or innovation of Hanfu in this period. Moreover, since the rulers were ethnic minorities, they set some measures that were very different from the original system. Such as forced hair shaving and restrictions on clothing. Also because of the implementation of these measures, it led to a weak sense of belonging to Hanfu among the modern countrymen. Second, the inner culture of Hanbok China's ancient traditional culture emphasizes the "unity of heaven and man", and this ideology and ideal pursuit is also reflected in the design of Hanbok. The ideology of "the unity of man and heaven" is mostly reflected in the details of hanbok design, such as hanbok with wide cuffs, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and the way of nature; the pursuit of the ideal of "the unity of man and heaven" is mostly reflected in the choice of colors, such as the dark clothes reflect the fairness and justice and the sublime beauty of the sea and the rivers. The noble virtues of the sea. Next, we talk about those cultural heritage in Hanfu: a traditional Chinese aesthetic for color has a very unique and extreme attention. One of the representatives is the use of yin and yang, the five elements is the core of Chinese metaphysics, the type of Hanbok color corresponds to the five elements, and the balance of the five elements is a good Hanbok's distinctive features. Secondly, Hanbok culture is a ceremonial culture as well as a dress culture. Specifically embodied in the ancient idea of hierarchical order and orderliness of all things. In ancient times, the importance of rituals began to gradually transform from the content to the form, such as the ritual code of the Zhou Dynasty is divided into five rituals and eight syllabi, each ritual celebration should be wearing the corresponding clothing style, if there is a mistake, it will be a felony. Three Hanbok design also reflects the development of traditional Chinese culture, generally speaking Hanbok are reviewed from these aspects: structure, color, collar and obeisance, rope and knot, top clothes under the clothes, sleeves and robes. In the evolution of successive generations, these points promote each other to reflect the change and development of the connotation of traditional Chinese culture.1 majestic structure Hanbok structure pay attention to spacious, comfortable, dignified and elegant, so as to reflect the ancient people's dashing and free. For the cutting of fabrics, one step is emphasized, and the cutting is simple to save fabrics so as to reflect the gentleman's frugality and cultivation. Right obeisance is to use the left side to cover the right side, the reason for doing so is the yin and yang theory, yin can not be oppressed yang, to keep the yang oppressed yin, so as to balance the yin and yang two qi. The collar of the right angle design, also represents the idea of integrity and honesty in the hearts of the ancients, with such a design to remind themselves of the uprightness of the people.2 the beauty of the natural Han Chinese color color complex, there are light, there are gorgeous, there are sentimental, this is the use of the four seasons corresponds to the emotion of the nature and the natural reflection of the result. It is said that the Han Dynasty, people dress to pay attention to the different seasons to choose the appropriate color, style of Hanbok so-called "bloom four times the flowers, with the four seasons of the clothes," that is the meaning of this. In addition, the ancients believed that the color of the sky for the bright time of the color, is the color, and the earth is yellow, reflecting its own dignity and stability, so the ancients of the yellow clothing on the basics of extraordinarily fond of and respected. 3 on behalf of the rites and laws of obeisance "overlapping" refers to the front of the clothes left and right to cross over. In ancient times, people often use the left and right to indicate respect and inferiority, people often say that the housing north to south, men and women position "left respect and right inferiority" is also the case, and the obeisance is just the opposite, highlighting the severity of its hierarchical order. 4 flexible and rigid rope knot in the ancient decorations, it is necessary to talk about the Han suit of the thin belt rope knot, which is the most easy to let the Chinese dress in the People ignore the point. The tie of hanbok is made of the same material as the clothes, that is to say, it keeps the integrity and plays the role of fixing, so that the hanbok maintains the integrity while showing its style which is simple but not simple.5 The top clothes and bottom clothes of the Way of Heaven and EarthThe clothes refer to the "top clothes and bottom clothes" of hanbok, and most of them adopt the color of the sky in the morning, that is to say, the color of the sky is the basaltic color on behalf of the sky, and most of them adopt the color of the earth, that is, yellow on behalf of the earth. Most of the upper garments use the color of the morning sky, i.e., the color of darkness, to represent heaven, while most of the lower garments use the color of the earth, i.e., yellow, to represent earth. There is heaven and earth, overall harmony, which also reflects the ancient pursuit of natural harmony and the pursuit of "unity of man and nature".6 Spiritual and elegant commendation of the robe and big sleeves, wide clothes, smooth and elegant, heavy spirit and beyond the form, and take the heart and away from the world of the Oriental aesthetic style are infiltrated in the wide robe and big sleeves of the Han Chinese dress, the "Book of Zhou Yi" recorded that: "Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth", in the Hanbok we see the thinking and efforts of the ancients, and the details inside reflect the lofty thoughts and noble qualities of the ancients. Three Hanbok on the influence of Japanese traditional dress "Nihon Shoki" mentioned Wu clothing is the Edo period before the name of the kimono, and "with things" is the Japanese clothing is collectively referred to. Therefore, the "kimono" in ancient Japan is also a kind of "clothing". In addition to the kimono, there are also many other Japanese traditional costumes, which are intertwined with each other and have evolved to form traditional costumes with Japanese characteristics. With the exchanges between China and Japan, no matter out of political strength and weakness or differences in dress culture, Japan favored Hanbok and began to imitate the Hanbok style of the Tang Dynasty. In Japan, you can see a lot of signs belonging to the culture of the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty's openness to the outside world and prosperity, the Japanese people aspire to the greatness of the Tang Dynasty, and began to learn the excellent places of the Tang Dynasty, and the Hanbok is the most favorite of the Japanese people. Therefore, Japanese clothing borrowed the advantages and characteristics of Hanbok, and Hanbok spread rapidly in Japan. Because the kimono is borrowed from the Hanbok as an element, the continuous development, so Hanbok and kimono does have some similarity, but China and Japan in the national character, there are great differences, especially in the Hanbok into Japan in the Tang Dynasty period: the Tang Dynasty's romantic and elegant, making the Hanbok as a whole has a sprightly and dynamic style; the Japanese people are upholding a kind of introverted and low-profile concepts of the involvement, and the concept is fused into the kimono, making its overall stable and dignified. The Japanese nation upholds a concept of introverted and low-key involvement in affairs, and integrates this concept into the kimono, which gives the overall sense of stability and dignity. There are many kinds of kimono, and the hand-painted patterns of kimono include spring plums, summer irises, autumn maple leaves and winter pines and cypresses. At the same time, we can see that the pattern of the kimono is also influenced by the geographical environment of Japan, which is the harmony between nature and human ****sheng, which is what our country is talking about, so their dress also carries the respect for nature. Conclusion: The Japanese people according to their own situation, the excellent places of each nation combined, so that the kimono has its own national unique characteristics, in the world's national costumes of the forest to shine, is the striking symbol of the Japanese nation. Nowadays, China's Hanbok culture is still slowly recovering and developing, however, in Japan, kimono has always been an important national costume. Kimonos can be seen in all Japanese celebrations. In China, on the other hand, one usually chooses to wear Western clothing and other outfits for various events. Undeniably, this is the embodiment of our advanced learning from the West, but I think the inheritance of their own traditional culture is the most essential part of a nation, we should develop their own national costumes from the hanbok and hanbok is one of the prominent representatives. Is not the Hanbok more than the Western dress can be more open and honest as a gentleman? Not more than Western-style clothes can show our own national self-confidence? Hanbok culture not only represents the noble spirit of the ancient Chinese people, but also reflects the unique elegance and poetry of the Chinese nation. The research and development of Hanbok is also the continuation and development of our national culture. Chinese culture has a long history and has been washed by five thousand years of wind and rain. The excellent traditional culture needs to be inherited and developed. In today's era, we should show our own national self-confidence, from our own people to find their own national soul, wearing their own national dress, we are not more confident and proud, so, why worry about the Hanbok can not be in the forest of the world's clothing to show its splendor.
