Therefore, there are many kinds of clothing fabrics, including cotton, silk, leather and blended fabrics. This is what people wear in contemporary society, but as early as the 1970s and 1980s, there were different fabrics.
People dress in different styles with different ages. In the 1970s and 1980s, people's living standards were generally low, and people's requirements for clothes were not very high. In rural areas, some farmers still wear their own clothes made of coarse cotton, and ordinary people are only willing to buy a new dress at home during the New Year.
In order to save money, parents of families with many children will let them take turns wearing them. As the saying goes, "three years are new, three years are old, and three years are supplemented." Under the influence of such social background, "dacron" was born.
What is really good? As early as the 1970s and 1980s, China imported a large number of chemical fiber equipment, which triggered the "dressing" revolution of Chinese people. In Guangzhou, at first, "dacron" was not called that. People in Guangzhou say it is "really beautiful". However, due to the differences between the northern and southern accents and the fact that Cantonese was not popular at that time, northerners did not understand the meaning of "beautiful", so they called it "really cool".
Although it is called "really cool", people don't feel cool wearing it. Because it is a polyester textile, it belongs to chemical fiber products, although it has the advantages of durability, wear resistance, difficult deformation, easy cleaning and quick drying.
However, its ventilation effect is poor, and it is stuffy and does not absorb sweat in summer, which makes the already hot summer even hotter. So although it is not as cool as the name, it has many advantages, so people call it "dacron".
When dacron first came out, its fabric was much more expensive than ordinary cotton cloth. Therefore, people who can wear "dacron" are likely to be officials or some intellectuals. Ordinary people rarely have access to clothes made of dacron. It is a great honor to have clothes made of dacron. Some people even take clothes made of "Dacron" as part of the wedding bride price.
Before the reform and opening up, the implementation of planned economy made people's daily life inseparable from all kinds of colorful "tickets" and had to buy cloth with "cloth tickets" In the past, people bought cotton cloth and made it themselves, and the cloth tickets distributed were not enough to make a suit. Families with children are eager to love their children and make new clothes for them.
But children grow up quickly and consume a lot of cloth, but there are not enough cloth tickets, so they need to buy "recycled cloth". The "spun fabric" is of poor quality and prone to loopholes, but since the appearance of "polyester", this problem has been solved.
Although the price of "Dacron" is expensive, the cloth tickets used are less than cotton cloth, and the quality is more durable than cotton cloth, which satisfies people's "food and clothing". Therefore, it is sought after by many people. After the reform and opening up, ordinary people are no longer wearing dim tunic suits, but brightly colored clothes made of dacron, which makes the gloomy society colorful and our country has entered a new era.
In the next few years, our country introduced a lot of equipment, expanded the planting area of cotton, and "Dacron" began to be popular all over the country. At that time, boys usually wore a pair of white sneakers, a pair of blue pants and a set of "dacron" on their arms. They were the coolest handsome guys.
This is the trend of boys in that era, and girls are not to be outdone. They usually wear skirts made of "dacron" and dress up carefully to become graceful. Looking back and smiling will definitely capture the hearts of boys. Whether boys or girls wear "dacron", they are full of youth.
The military uniform made of "Dacron" is loved by many boys, which once inspired them to join the army and serve the country. Young girls wear skirts made of dacron, which not only shows foreign flavor, but also shows the unique elegance of women.
At that time, if boys wanted to pursue girls, they would send several "dacron" skirts to show their sincerity; If girls want to pursue boys, send some polyester shirts to express their affection. After they got married, "dacron" became the token of their love, and their happiness lasted forever.
In the 1970s and 1980s, "Dacron" was really "good", which not only added warmth and color to the society, but also satisfied people's pursuit of beauty and shared people's worries about the poor quality of clothes.
With the popularization of "polyester", its shortcomings are constantly exposed, which is more obvious in the southern region. The high temperature and heavy rainfall in the southern region have also brought people a lot of trouble. If clothes made of "dacron" are wet by rain on rainy days, they will stick to the body and be "exposed", which is very unfavorable to girls and looks very embarrassing.
And "dacron" doesn't absorb sweat in summer, so it will feel very hot when put on, so will it keep warm in winter? In fact, "polyester" is a chemical product, and it won't keep warm like cotton, so it won't keep warm in winter.
Secondly, because it is a chemical product, the main component is polyester. In case of fire, it will burn more easily than cotton and give off a pungent smell, which also increases its danger.
Due to the in-depth development of reform and opening up, China's economic take-off has greatly changed our lives. This great decision has made our country's economy develop rapidly, and the overall progress of society is reflected in our basic necessities of life, and our country has achieved leap-forward development.
The material life of the people has improved. After people realized the disadvantages of Dacron, they gradually faded out of people's sight and became "cheap goods". People prefer cotton cloth. Cotton absorbs sweat and has the function of keeping warm, and people have explored polyester-cotton blended fabrics, in which the proportion of cotton components is increasing, so that people can not only show beauty when wearing it, but also feel more comfortable than "dacron".
But despite this, "polyester" has not really disappeared, and some polyester will be put in some cotton to combine the advantages of the two. "Take its essence and discard its dross" can not only keep cotton warm, but also have the characteristics of durability and wear resistance.
Different generations have different memories. In the 1970s and 1980s, "polyester" became the memory of that generation. They wear clothes made of dacron, showing the elegance of youth and emitting the breath of happiness, which has become an indelible memory of this generation. This is a symbol of the times, "dacron" will not disappear, it will always exist in the memory of this generation.
