Through the changes of women's clothing, Zhang Ailing focuses on the changes of women in China with social changes. "Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty for 300 years, women have no fashion at all! People from generation to generation will not feel bored wearing the same clothes. " These two sentences in the article not only explain the general situation of women's clothing in the Qing Dynasty, but also show that women in the Qing Dynasty were suppressed and bound by feudal ethics, without freedom and rights, and even the right to choose their own clothing was deprived. We know that the love of beauty can be said to be a woman's nature, but the cruel feudal autocracy only allows women to wear single monotonous clothes, and regards clothes as just a cover for women. It can't be used as something to show the beauty of women's body curves. Starting from this basic life object in our life, it also analyzes and exposes the essence of feudal autocracy and feudal ethics that obliterates nature and humanity. Women are regarded as accessories of men, and their personality and dignity are not respected. Even wearing clothes that leak a little white skin can be considered immoral. The strict feudal hierarchy even destroyed the inherent beauty of women, which inevitably made people feel that their "cannibalism" nature was terrible.
With the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the feudal system began to disintegrate, and the western ideas of democracy and freedom spread to China and began to permeate people's cultural blood. Women's wear has also developed from autocratic simplification to diversification, and various clothes have begun to appear on the market. At this time, women are gradually willing to show their physical beauty and curvy beauty, reflecting that people's ideas are moving from autocracy to democracy, and they are more willing to express themselves and express themselves. With their own ideas and thinking, it is impossible for women to have such rights in a highly unified feudal society.
During the Republic of China, cheongsam became popular among women in China. Zhang Ailing believes that the popularity of cheongsam is the product of women's pursuit of equality between men and women in China. Influenced by western culture and ideas, women are obsessed with pursuing equal social status. At that time, China, which was still feudal and autocratic, could not realize women's wishes, so women chose to wear cheongsam which lacked feminine beauty, trying to strangle women's roots. Therefore, cheongsam is rigorous, cold, square and has the Puritan style.
With the popularity of cheongsam, the tailor who made it must have improved it and added many elements to show the beauty of women's bodies in China. Otherwise, why do the cheongsam women written by Zhang Ailing always make me feel unique in the East? Bai Liusu, dressed in a gorgeous cheongsam, not only exudes a quiet beauty, but also highlights the curvaceous beauty of her body. There is a sense of boldness and tranquility. It can be said that cheongsam shows the beauty of oriental women to the greatest extent.
Zhang Ailing used the writing method of seeing the big from the small, combined with her delicate and delicate language. The article is cold and memorable, which shows her talented writing ability and unique personal charm.
