With regard to the "Zhongshan suit", The Dictionary of Chinese Culture and Customs records that "Sun Yat-sen referred to the original characteristics of clothes and trousers in China, absorbed the" enterprise-collar suit "and" suit style "of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, and personally presided over the design with the principle of" sanitary, easy to move, easy to save and beautiful ".
Under the advocacy of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, revolutionaries at that time were proud of wearing "Zhongshan suit", and it was precisely because revolutionary leaders and cadres wore Zhongshan suit that people all over the country used this kind of clothing to express their love for the new era after the founding of New China. As a result, the Chinese tunic suit became the symbolic costume of new China, and was once recognized by the world as the "national costume" of China people.
However, today, with the vigorous development of China's clothing industry and the various kinds of clothing adding luster, the Zhongshan suit has withdrawn from the historical stage of conventional formal dresses early. Occasionally, national leaders who attended important international conferences in Chinese tunic suit appeared in the media, and a Chinese-American in Chinese tunic suit attended the international awards ceremony, and so on. From these rare reports about the Zhongshan suit, we feel that as a China person, we are finally persistent and reluctant to give up the Zhongshan suit, and then realize that the Zhongshan suit has already been deeply branded in the inheritance of our own cultural blood.
As a routine dress once admired by China people, Zhongshan suit also carries a kind of culture, a kind of etiquette, a kind of national pride and pride. Just like Hanbok in South Korea, kimono in Japan, men's pleated skirts and short skirts in Scottish Highlands, and sand cage reeds of Malays in Southeast Asia all bear these elements to some extent. Generally speaking, all countries in the world mainly wear suits, but on festivals or major celebrations, people of all ethnic groups should wear their own national costumes. However, when Vajpayee wore a white Indian robe and Junichiro Koizumi went to the world in a wide kimono, the Chinese nation, as the most populous nation in the world, claimed to have a glorious civilization history of 5,000 years, but could not own a set of clothes of its own.
With the heroic images of the Republic of China created by China male movie stars such as Jet Li and Donnie Yen on the screen, the Chinese tunic suit has returned to people's sight. The materials and details have been changed, but the classic image of Zhongshan suit is back. Today, the clothing industry pays more and more attention to domestic elements, and the Zhongshan suit has returned.
From its birth to the early 1980s, Zhongshan suit has always been the main clothing for Chinese men. No matter during the Republic of China or after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the tunic suit almost became the uniform of men in China.
But when hundreds of millions of men wore the same clothes and entered the 1980s, "reform and opening up" made China people see a new look of the world. Beautiful European-style clothes and unrestrained American clothes made China people listen to the outside world at once. The west wind was blowing so hard that almost all men in China took off their Chinese tunic suits and put on jeans overnight.
In the 30 years of the great "reform and opening up", people in China have changed their clothes one after another, but it seems that China's clothes have always played the role of pursuers. People say "hip-hop" is good, so we will buy a large one; family
Say curvy, and we'll find tight clothes. At a certain moment, when we stopped to look back, we found that the "Chinese style" that we put aside turned out to be suitable for our beauty.
Blue-and-white embroidery shows the graceful women in China, while the Chinese tunic suit just depicts the perseverance of men in China. As the world pays more and more attention to the elements of China and China, Zhongshan suit has also seen its own way back.
The Chinese tunic suit is beginning to be favored by more and more people, even foreigners. In this regard, some people will doubt whether the return of the tunic suit is retrogression or the blind patriotic slogan of some so-called scholars. Actually, it's not. The return of Chinese tunic suit is not simply a copy of the past, but has its own changes on the basis of 2 1 century. You know, in those days, people in China took off their Zhongshan suits because in that era when individuality was emphasized, Zhongshan suits could no longer show people's individuality. The current Zhongshan suit has undergone unprecedented changes in both materials and workmanship. Therefore, the statement of retrogression is untenable.
If it is not retrogression, isn't it the so-called blind patriotic slogan of scholars? If someone holds this view, is it a fashion insulator? Or extreme inferiority? Foreign clothing does have its advantages, but this does not mean that foreign clothing must be better than China's. As the saying goes, "Nothing is good, only right." The elements of China and the characteristics of China are also beautiful. In today's international recognition, we really should not underestimate ourselves. With the help of Chinese style, Zhongshan suit has become a fashion again.
With the appearance of more and more noir dramas in the Republic of China, children born after 90 s and 00 s also saw the "Chinese tunic suit". More and more people began to admire the tall and straight Chinese tunic suit. Fashion is a part of being captured by Chinese tunic suit.
Jet Li, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Fang Zuming and Donnie Yen, more and more big-name stars are willing to wear Chinese tunic suits to attend various meetings. Fashion brands also designed their own tunic suit, and celebrity Zhang Jingyi introduced an improved tunic suit, which was popular in Milan, Paris, new york, Tokyo and other major fashion cities. China's fashion industry has also launched many innovative versions of the Chinese tunic suit. For example, the shape of Zhongshan suit is embroidered with dragon, phoenix, plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, piano, chess, books and paintings; Another example is to use printed fabrics to make a tunic suit, and black and white fabrics to make a tunic suit, turning a solemn tunic suit into a lively and creative fashion.
In addition, it is particularly worth mentioning that the appearance of the female version of the Zhongshan suit highlights the beauty of women's lines. All along, the tunic suit is a man's patent, and the tall and straight image has made people subconsciously think that the tunic suit belongs to men. However, the women's tunic suit subverts the mindset in people's minds before the tunic suit. As long as it looks good, why can't a woman wear a Chinese tunic suit? In the concept fashion activity of Chinese tunic suit undertaken by Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, a large number of novel Chinese tunic suit designs made the audience shine. The combination of popular elements and classic versions of Zhongshan suit weakens its practical function and injects more cultural and artistic elements. Zhongshan suit is not a single uniform, but has become a phenomenon and a carrier of culture. These changes also make many brands regard Zhongshan suit as an irreplaceable classic.
As far as the audience is concerned, today's Zhongshan suit is no longer a nostalgic patent for the elderly. Choosing to wear Chinese tunic suit is no longer a matter of matching clothes, but seems to be a matter of choosing a new lifestyle. Nowadays, many young students who like to "innovate" wear Chinese tunic suits to shoot graduation photo and take part in cultural performances; And some grooms like to wear tunic suits and take photos with the bride. As a formal suit for men to attend important occasions, suits are no longer the only one. More and more people who love traditional culture replace suits with Zhongshan suits. While catching the fashion, the Chinese tunic suit also ushered in the countdown to return.
For many years, China people want to catch up with the beauty of the Premier League, to stand among the nations of the world and to pursue an ideal career, but it seems that they never want to find their own national spirit. This rootless wandering state shows that on the one hand, we are looking for national prosperity, on the other hand, we are despising our traditional civilization and giving up on ourselves. This contradictory state actually stems from the lack of national self-confidence, and its most direct consequence is that the Chinese nation has lost more in the process of pursuing national progress.
"The Han family is flourishing, and alfalfa and pomegranate flowers are all over the suburbs", "Why don't men take Wu Gou and accept fifty states in Guanshan", and the lost civilization should find a cultural context to be re-passed. When the Chinese nation unties the knot of national self-pity caused by the fog of history and examines the Zhongshan suit that has been deeply imprinted on China people from the perspective of the blending of the cultural origins of the whole Chinese nation, it will be found that the Zhongshan suit is far away from our lives, but its cultural code has been preserved in the spiritual life of modern China people.
