The dress attitude of ancient Greeks is full of humanistic feelings.
In the first chapter of the History of Western Philosophy, Russell said:
In the continuous progress of world history, the most surprising and puzzling thing is the sudden emergence of Greek civilization. ?
The civilization of each era will affect the progress and development of an era. Will be reflected in people's lives at that time, clothing is the most suitable representative for the ancient Greeks.
The costumes of the ancient Greeks embodied the harmony of marine civilization. Later, I went to see some western countries' clothing design styles, and there were always some elements of ancient Greek clothing. The ancient Greeks' clothing was complex, simple and not simple.
Ancient Greek clothing, right? A piece of cloth? The art of. Putting a piece of cloth on your body by hanging or winding naturally forms a beautiful hanging skirt. Common will be divided into two types, Dorian Heaton and Ionian Heaton.
Generally speaking, Dorian Heaton wears it by folding one long side of a rectangle outward, then folding two short sides in half, just enough to wrap his body, and then fixing it on his shoulder with a pin. A piece of cloth? Naturally, a beautiful skirt with suspenders was formed. When walking, the skirt folds swing with the wind, and the body is not bound, fully combining the human body with nature perfectly.
This way of dressing by hanging cloth invisibly and winding freely makes people completely free from bondage. It can not only perfectly reflect the natural aesthetics of the human body, but also achieve a comfortable effect.
And through this simple and natural clothing style, it also reflects the ancient Greek period? Humanism? Thought. Humanism rose in Europe in the14th century and prevailed in the Renaissance. Humanist scholars believe that in the course of hundreds of years of development, a people-oriented world outlook system has been created in this land.
The ancient Greek philosopher protagoras said in On Truth:
Man is the measure of everything in the world.
Here? People? What does this mean? Human feelings? . Schustermann, a world-famous aesthete and humanist, thinks:
Ancient Greek philosophy teaches us how to live better, explore the beauty of nature in life, realize self-improvement, and even enhance the interests and humanity of all mankind. ?
In this original intention and philosophical vision, the body is natural and the clothes are comfortable, which is the carrier and creator of aesthetic thinking practice. Therefore, in ancient Greece, the Greek people regarded clothing as the second skin, because in their view, the most important function of clothing was to make the human body reach the most comfortable state.
So, no matter which way, Dorian Heaton or Heaton, all you need is a piece of cloth wrapped around your body to form a natural fold, which is the healthiest and most comfortable state for people.
Is this the best performance? People-oriented? At the same time, it also reflects the ancient Greeks' construction of natural beauty at that time. Comfortable fabrics are wound in a comfortable way, and the perfect harmony between them is as harmonious and natural as Greece and the sea.
The costume design of the ancient Greeks expressed their own rationalism.
The artistic beauty of ancient Greece not only highlights its own humanistic spirit, but also contains the beauty of harmony. The balance among people, clothing and nature embodies the beauty of harmony. Such a harmonious balance depends on the rational attitude of the ancient Greeks towards the world reality.
Socrates used Oracle to arouse his inner independent self-consciousness and rationality, and Nietzsche also told the world that Socrates' spiritual essence is to advocate rationality. He regards exploring the mysteries of nature with wisdom as the only lofty and very sacred task of mankind. This rational thinking permeated all aspects at that time.
The Pythagorean school had the greatest influence at that time, mainly composed of mathematicians, astronomers and physicists. The main academic research direction is to look at aesthetic problems from the perspective of natural science. According to scholars, the world is fundamentally composed of numbers, and all the harmony and natural beauty are caused by? Count? Consists of ...
They began to observe and calculate constantly, hoping to get the most beautiful proportion. then what Golden section? Therefore, the golden ratio of 0.6 18 has been widely used in architecture and sculpture. Are you online? Golden ratio? After being recognized, another group of scholars began to study the human body. To measure, calculate, experiment, and how to look at the proportion and quantitative relationship of various parts of the human body from a mathematical point of view.
One of the most famous things that the ancient Greek sculptor Polly Cletus did was to study the beauty of human proportions. In later codes, he introduced and recorded the various structures of human proportions in great detail. At that time, rationalism and? Golden ratio? With the development of * * *, ancient Greek costumes are the best form to express ideas.
At that time, the design style of high waist was evident. Change the previous style, improve the position of waistline, and make the head and body achieve perfect proportion beauty. This style of dress is not out of date even today, and you can still see it when you walk through the streets of shopping malls.
Rationalism in ancient Greece was also manifested in the theory of imitation. Some people agree that beauty should conform to and imitate nature, including Socrates, Pareto and other great philosophers at that time. People come from nature, and the harmony of nature must be the most beautiful and comfortable, and it is a more harmonious combination of rational thinking and natural beauty.
The costume style of the ancient Greeks could not be separated from the gifts from the ocean.
As we all know, ancient Greece was a country that rose from marine civilization. From the whole terrain, the land climate in Greece is humid, with mountains and seas, winding coastline and typical Mediterranean climate. However, it was this geographical environment that promoted the better development of ancient Greece.
Economically, the ancient Greeks basically relied on the convenience brought by the ocean to vigorously develop ocean trade and explore overseas markets. In such an economic environment, the population movement in ancient Greece accelerated and the number of immigrants increased, which promoted diversified cultural exchanges. The ancient Greeks brought marine civilization to the extreme, learned the inclusiveness of the ocean, and constantly absorbed and accepted the essence of foreign culture.
The essence of these foreign cultures was learned by the ancient Greeks and turned into costumes with their own style. For example: Amazon female warriors will have their own costumes; There are early ones? Tights? , that is, short Junik from ankle to chest; There is also a Kaftan coat that looks a bit like oriental style sleeves. The wisdom and knowledge of the ancient Greeks combined these with their own rationalism and gradually formed their own ancient Greek costume style.
Foreign nations gradually entered ancient Greece through the ocean, bringing different cultures and arts. The ancient Greeks also accepted and used them for reference with an inclusive attitude. Many clothing styles are integrated into their own clothing, forming a variety of auxiliary styles full of characteristics and aesthetics.
It is precisely because of the tolerance and openness of marine civilization that ancient Greece formed its own unique and diverse civilization because of democratic politics and diverse clothing styles. Before this, we learned that the dress is casual and natural, and the drooping skirt flutters at will. Similarly, the decorative patterns on clothes in ancient Greece were also very particular.
The ancient Greeks advocated the beauty of nature, and the style and dress of clothing were in line with the beauty of nature. The decorative patterns on clothes naturally come from nature. Because it is an ancient country that excavates marine civilization, the decorative patterns are mostly wavy. As can be seen from today's historical records, decorative patterns are mainly divided into stripes, fish scales, waves and swirls. Patterns are mostly composed of curves, just like waves, which repeatedly spray in the ocean, completely in line with marine civilization and rationalism of ancient Greeks.
Looking through the historical materials, we can actually see a very interesting thing. In Mycenae's time, men's wear was decorated with tassels at cuffs and shorts pockets, mainly composed of beads. This composition must be inspired by water, and the drooping feeling of tassels is very similar to the fluidity of water.
Originated from marine civilization and passed down from generation to generation.
From all these historical materials, it is not difficult to see that the ancient Greeks began to look for their own inspiration from the ocean very early and created their own civilization, art and philosophy. These have played a vital role in the Renaissance in the14th century, as well as various ideological movements later, and even in the development of Europe as a whole.
This is especially true of ancient Greek costumes, which constantly pursue rational ideas that conform to physical comfort and natural beauty; Try to create and calculate? Golden ratio? Mathematical beauty with harmonious structure; Many philosophers and mathematicians have made unremitting efforts to discover and create aesthetics belonging to ancient Greece in nature.
A civilization can be passed down from generation to generation, a culture can last forever, and a piece of land can make people yearn for it. Of course, ancient Greek civilization can leave a strong impression in historical picture books, and ancient Greek costumes are the best in marine civilization? Art? . It shows the aesthetic spirit of the ancient Greeks, the philosophical attitude of pursuing rational thoughts, and contains the humanistic feelings of everything. The costume of ancient Greece inherited the thought of civilization at that time, represented the achievements of marine civilization, and was also the best carrier of ancient Greek civilization.
