Analyze the characteristics of national folk costumes and their relationship with national culture?

Clothing is a unique achievement of human labor, not only the crystallization of material civilization, but also the connotation of spiritual civilization. Human society has been marching slowly from ignorance and barbarism to civilization for hundreds of thousands of years. After bidding farewell to apes, our ancestors wandered in the wind and rain for countless years, finally striding into the threshold of civilization, knowing how to shelter from the wind and rain, knowing how to keep warm, and creating material civilization. However, pursuing beauty is human nature. Clothing people, like gold to Buddha, not only covers the body and warms the body, but also beautifies it. Almost from the day when clothing originated, people deposited their own life customs, aesthetic tastes, color hobbies, as well as various cultural mentality and religious concepts in clothing, and constructed the connotation of clothing culture and spiritual civilization.

China's clothing, like China's culture, is produced by the mutual penetration and influence of all ethnic groups. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially after modern times, it has absorbed and melted a large number of excellent crystals of foreign cultures of all nationalities in the world, and only then has it evolved into a set of so-called China costume culture with the Han nationality as the main body. To understand the diverse styles, unique styles, bright colors and exquisite craftsmanship of China's clothing, we should know a little about the profound development track of China's clothing culture, so as to explore the details of China's clothing culture through browsing.

During the Tang Dynasty, China's politics and economy developed highly, and its culture and art flourished. It is also an era of splendid feudal culture. At this time, the clothing pattern design tends to express the artistic style of freedom, fullness and obesity. Among them, women's wear is the most representative.

Tang costumes also have a great influence on neighboring countries. In particular, Japanese clothes, Japanese clothes, greatly absorbed the essence of Tang costumes. With the development of 1970s, Japan also developed its own unique costumes on the basis of Tang costume. Hanbok also inherited the advantages of Tangfu in form. Tang Fu's skirt is long and soft, very beautiful and comfortable. The main material is silk, so its clothes are famous for their softness and softness. Tang costumes are varied. They boldly absorbed the characteristics of foreign costumes from appearance to decoration, and used the foreign costumes of Central Asia, India, Iran, Persia, North China and the Western Regions for reference, which enriched the costume culture of the Tang Dynasty, made it colorful and unique, and became a wonderful work in China's historical costumes, attracting worldwide attention.

The main trend in the history of the Song Dynasty is the popularization of civilians, and the costumes are also simple and simple, reflecting the trend of the times. Political conservatism, ideological imprisonment of "Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism", and compromise and concession in foreign policy-clothing culture is no longer gorgeous and luxurious, but simple and simple.

There was ignorance in Yuan Dynasty, but it followed the clothing system of Han, Tang and Song Dynasties and had its own national characteristics. Great changes have taken place in materials, which is due to the extensive cultivation of cotton, so cotton cloth has become the main variety of clothing materials. The clothes are mainly short robes, which are narrow and have many folds at the waist, which is convenient for getting on and off the horse.

Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world in the Ming dynasty, and the Han costumes in the Ming dynasty generally resumed to follow the Tang system, but some styles of the Song and Yuan dynasties were retained, and the Han costumes developed. The most prominent feature is that the buttons on the front replace the knots that have been around for thousands of years. The use of buttons is also a change, reflecting the progress of the times. In addition, the prevalence of Neo-Confucianism also affected the clothing style to some extent.

The Qing Dynasty is an era with the greatest changes in the history of China's clothing. The Qing Dynasty was an era when Manchu and Chinese cultures blended, especially the costume culture, and it was also a non-Han dynasty that retained the most primitive costume tradition after entering China. Mandarin jacket and cheongsam are typical clothes for men and women in Qing Dynasty. Now it has become a traditional costume in China.

Modern clothes are mostly influenced by the west. Clothes gradually changed from heavy to light. However, China learned from the characteristics of western clothing development and formed its own unique clothing development trend.

After the founding of New China, clothing advocated simplicity and practicality. From 1950s to 1970s, Zhongshan suit gradually became the main clothing for men. In addition, military casual clothes and civilian clothes were also very popular. Women's wear was influenced by the Soviet Union, and dresses were popular in cities. Besides, Lenin's clothes are very popular. But in rural areas, it has always been the traditional dress of most farmers.

After 1978, China implemented the policy of reform and opening up, which reflected the spirit of the times, and costumes with China national characteristics mushroomed and took on a new look.

Modern clothes are rich in colors, fashionable and diverse in fabrics. Pursue personalization, naturalization and environmental protection. At the same time, the characteristics of national costumes are integrity (the unity of formal beauty, decoration and practicality) and cultural (regional and symbolic).

The development of work clothes has also changed greatly with the progress of the times. I remember that in the early fifties, most of the work clothes in the factory were suspenders, and the fabric was rough cotton cloth. This is the symbol of industrial workers in new China. At that time, workers were above agriculture, commerce, learning and the army. Wearing suspenders is a great honor and pride, which once envied many people. I remember that in the 1970s, soldiers were very popular, not only because the troops were well paid, but also because the military uniforms looked good. Men's military uniforms are mighty and handsome, while women's military uniforms are heroic and spirited. How many young men and women joined the army for that uniform, especially young women. At that time, being a female soldier was very enviable.

I remember when I was in middle school, my neighbor's sister, a little older than me, became a female soldier. Every time I come back in military uniform, I think she is very energetic, but wearing casual clothes at home doesn't look so good. I also borrowed her military uniform and took an inch of black and white photos in the photo studio, which felt more beautiful than her. This is an experience that many girls had at that time.

After the reform and opening up, people have updated the traditional concept of work clothes, changed the dull and monotonous style, color and collocation of work clothes and uniforms, boldly used colors and introduced fashion, making work clothes both practical and beautiful, and also the embodiment of corporate culture.

The work clothes of electric power enterprises, because of the particularity of their industries, are different from the general industries, and have certain requirements in clothing color, clothing style and clothing fabric. Its color should be mild and safe, such as blue, yellow, bright gray and so on. Its fabric should be antistatic and flame retardant; Its texture should be cotton, soft and crisp, and the fabric is not easy to wrinkle. Clothes that wrinkle easily look messy, which will make people feel upset and uncomfortable psychologically. Clothing is not easy to harden, and clothes made of hard clothing will make people feel stiff and unhappy; Its style should be generous and decent, and you will feel proud and confident in it.
