From the perspective of clothing, China people pay attention to the decoration of appearance, while westerners advocate revealing the beauty of the human body; China people pay attention to self-regulation, so they are conservative and seldom change, while westerners pay attention to self-expression, so they are more open and changeable. China people pay attention to the beauty of decoration and harmony with the environment, while westerners pay attention to the beauty of clothing modeling and the beauty of contrast with the environment.
The difference of garment production technology is also one of the very important factors. Chinese clothing structure is flat, paying attention to two-dimensional space effect, not emphasizing the consistency between clothing and various parts of the human body, and not paying attention to expressing human body curves with clothing. The clothes are straight and loose, and the plane cutting method is adopted. Western-style clothing structure is divided into three-dimensional, emphasizing the effect of three-dimensional space, focusing on three-dimensional cutting in structure, focusing on trial sewing, modification and correction, in order to maximize harmony and highlight the beauty of human curves.
Secondly, the production of clothing in China is static, while the production of western clothing is dynamic. The traditional Hanfu is cut on the chopping board, and the stitches of the garment pieces are mainly straight lines, so the stitches are all popped out with pink thread balls. There is no assembly or division in the middle of the garment pieces, and the garment pieces are a whole piece with few accessories or accessories. Even if there are a few pockets and other accessories, they are sewn up in the form of cover stickers. When sewing pieces of clothes, only two pieces of clothes can be sewn along the edge after being stacked up and down, and there is no need for proofing or correction process at all, which is a static manufacturing process. Ready-made clothes are square and neat, and wearing them on the body becomes an idol of the human body or a symbol of etiquette and customs. The formation of this kind of static clothing is completely related to the plane structure of China's clothing, and also related to the national character of our country, which prefers quietness to sports.
